Fitness trackers are a great way to monitor your daily activities and habits, and Fitbit makes some of the best. If you’re new to the world of fitness tracking and don’t want to shell out big bucks on the high-end models, check out the Fitbit Alta HR. Walmart currently has a deal on the

small version that makes it available for only $88.

The Fitbit Alta HR is without question a no-frills activity tracker, but its stylish design and wealth of health-related features make it an attractive pick at its price point. Get a better assessment of your active lifestyle by taking advantage of this deal.

This fitness tracker boasts a compact, sleek, and unobtrusive profile that make it comfortable to wear all the time. The wristband comes in an adjustable watch-like buckle for a personalized fit. It’s also replaceable, with alternative options available in metal, leather, and elastomer.

Sporting a monochrome OLED screen, the Alta HR provides a clear interface for your statistics, notifications, and activity reminders. You can customize which stat you see using the Fitbit companion app. Unfortunately, the touchscreen’s not very responsive and its brightness doesn’t do well in direct sunlight. In terms of battery, Fitbit estimates it can last for about a week before needing a recharge.

For a small package, it comes loaded with a ton of useful health and fitness metrics. From monitoring heart rate, steps, and calories to tracking daily activities, the Alta HR does it all. It can even provide insights on the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of your workout routine and remind you to move to help you reach goals. Fitbit’s auto-recognition feature called SmartTrack is also integrated into the tracker, which automatically recognizes exercises such as walks, cycling sessions, and aerobics. Sadly, it’s not waterproof so it can’t track your laps or strokes.

The tracker can also monitor movement and heart rate during sleep. A section called Sleep Stages shows how well you sleep and how much time you’ve spent in each stage (Awake, REM, Light, Deep), and a Sleep Insights function provides suggestions on how you can improve your sleep.

The Fitbit Alta HR may not have the bells and whistles found on its pricier counterparts, but its accurate heart rate tracker, smart activity recognition, and sleep tracking capabilities go a long way to make up for its shortcomings.

You can order the small, black version on Walmart for only $88

instead of $130.

Our pick for the best noise canceling headphones just got a price cut
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones.

If you're willing to spend on headphone deals, you should set your sights on one of the best options out there: the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. You can get these amazing wireless headphones with a $100 discount from Bose itself, which slashes their price from $429 to a more affordable $329. The offer will remain online until December 29. While you still have time before it expires, we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as possible just to make sure you don't forget to take advantage of this excellent bargain.

Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones
"Noise cancellation and spatial audio have a new king, and it is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra," we said in our review of the wireless headphones. Our reviewer, Simon Cohen, gave these Bose cans a pretty fantastic rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Sitting on top of our list of the best noise-canceling headphones as our top overall choice (and also appearing in our general best headphones ranking), the Bose QuietComfort Ultra features best-in-class noise canceling, which isn't really a surprise as it's Bose that pioneered the development of active noise cancellation technology. With Quiet Mode, the sounds of your surroundings will be blocked, and with Aware Mode, you'll hear what's going on around you without having to take off the headphones.

Walmart just slashed the price of the all-digital Xbox Series X by $52
The Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition and an Xbox Wireless Controller.

If you're looking for gaming deals that you can take advantage of in the run-up to the holidays, here's one that you won't want to miss: the Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition for only $398, following a $52 discount from Walmart on its original price of $450. You won't always see a discount for this gaming console, which is why we think this offer will attract a lot of attention. Stocks may run out quickly, so if you're interested, you need to push through with your purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition
Before you buy the Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition, you should probably understand what you're getting. This is a new version of the Xbox Series X, which is the flagship model of Microsoft's video game consoles, but without the disc drive. This makes it similar to the Xbox Series S, but with the much more powerful brains of the Xbox Series X and 1TB of storage. You'll also get an Xbox Wireless Controller, alongside all the cables you need to plug and play with the Xbox Series X Digital Edition.
