Labor Day sales may still be a few days away, but we already see discounts on appliances and gadgets floating around. If you happen to be on the hunt for a quality fitness tracker, we spotted a deal for you. The small version of the Fitbit Alta HR is currently discounted on Amazon by up to 40%. This early Labor Day deal applies to a variety of color options, but the lowest sale price is for the black model which is available for just $79.

Fitbit paved the way for stylish fitness bands, and the same can be expected with the Fitbit Alta HR. But good looks aren’t the only thing going for this tracker; it also comes with a bunch of health-related features under the hood. Whether you’re a casual athlete or a beginner looking for a budget-friendly alternative to the Apple Watch Series 4, look no further.

The Alta HR carries Fitbit’s slimmest design yet. This compact and unobtrusive profile is easy to match with any outfit and comfortable to wear all the time. Its wristband comes in an adjustable watch-like buckle to accommodate most sizes of wrists. It’s also interchangeable, with options available in leather, metal, and elastomer.

Although small in size, this tracker does not disappoint in terms of health and fitness functionalities. It inherited quite a few features from the pricier Charge 2, including the ability to track daily activity, heart rate, steps, calories, and distance. It can even recognize exercises automatically, track movement and heart rate during sleep, and provide insights on the effectiveness of your routine. Fitbit’s auto-recognition feature called SmartTrack is also available, which categorizes runs, walks and other activities after a session. However, there’s no GPS and altimeter, but it shouldn’t be an issue if you’re not after mileage or altitude tracking.

A monochrome OLED touchscreen provides you with a clear interface of your stats, notifications, and reminders. The downside is, it’s not very responsive and a bit dim when used in direct sunlight. In terms of battery, Fitbit estimates the Alta HR to have enough power for one week before needing a recharge.

Set goals, monitor your active lifestyle, and know your body better by getting your hands on a no-frills fitness tracker such as the Fitbit Alta HR. You can order the small, black version on Amazon at an affordable price of $79. The gunmetal and blue/gray variants are also discounted at $120 and $99, respectively.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18
AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

 
Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.
