If you’re looking forward to Prime Day deals to finally give in to the smartwatch trend, or to get another one of the wearable devices, the Fitbit Versa Lite is already currently on sale for only $125, for a $35 discount from its original price of $160 and a new entry to the best Fitbit deals ahead of Prime Day on October 13.

The Fitbit Versa Lite is the company’s entry-level smartwatch, and a stripped-down version of the Fitbit Versa. However, that doesn’t mean that the device is not worth buying, as within its lightweight frame and simple design it still packs helpful features for first-timers and casual users.

Fitbit started out as a fitness tracker manufacturer, and the Fitbit Versa Lite shows the company’s roots. The device tracks the wearer’s exercises, heart rate, steps taken, sleep, and movement at the same quality as Fitbit’s other models. The Exercise app, meanwhile, records your performance across different kinds of workouts and activities, which the device’s Smart Track feature can automatically determine. And to help you relax, the smartwatch also offers Guided Breathing Sessions that are personalized depending on your heart rate.

Swimmers will be able to wear the Fitbit Versa Lite while in the water, as it is water resistant up to depths of 50 meters. The smartwatch also promises at least four days of battery life on a single charge, and combined with its durable yet flexible stock silicone straps, this makes it a suitable companion for daily wear.

The Fitbit Versa Lite, however, is not for music lovers, as the device didn’t carry over the Fitbit Versa features of onboard music storage and headphone connectivity through Bluetooth. Professional athletes and hardcore fitness enthusiasts may also be looking at the more advanced smartwatches of Fitbit, as they will likely want more functions out of their wearable devices.

There are still several reasons to buy a Fitbit Versa Lite though, and its sale price of $125, down $35 from the original price of $160, is one of them. The smartwatch might not be as loaded in features as other Fitbit offerings, but the Fitbit Versa Lite is still definitely a good buy at its discounted price on Amazon.

Dell XPS 13 for $599 is the best early Black Friday laptop deal

For a lot of folks, having a thin and light laptop is important, especially if they travel a lot and can't handle having to haul around a big laptop with a big brick of a charger. Of course, when somebody thinks "very portable laptop," the first thing that comes to mind is the MacBook Air, which is probably one of the lightest and most powerful laptops out there. But, the issue with going for a MacBook Air is that they tend to be exceedingly expensive and require you to enter the Apple ecosystem. So, if you don't want to do either of those, you can always opt for Dell's answer to the MacBook Air, the Dell XPS 13.

A thin and light laptop that is still quite powerful, the Dell XPS 13 only weighs 2.59 pounds and has a thickness of only 0.55 inches, making it just as thin and light as the MacBook Air. Now, depending on the configuration, the XPS 13 can also be quite expensive, but you can grab this version of the XPS 13 for just $599 from Dell. It usually goes for $799, so you're saving yourself a tidy $200 while getting a relatively powerful thin, and light laptop.
