Fitbit’s new Sense 2 and Versa 4 smartwatches hit second-best prices

Amazon now offers the Fitbit Versa 4 Fitness Smartwatch for $155. Typically fetching $230, you’re looking at only the fourth chance to save and the second-best price to date at $75 off. It comes within $9 of the all-time low and is still a rare chance to save, having only been beaten once before. Delivering one of Fitbit’s latest wearables, the new Versa 4 arrives with its most recent regimen of fitness tracking features centered around all of the usual workout tracking tech as well as heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, SpO2 details, and a daily readiness score. Throw in a refreshed form factor and six-day battery life, Google Wallet, and a 50-meter water-resistant level, and you’re looking at all the tech needed to monitor your fitness journey into the new year and beyond. You can get a better idea of what to expect from the new Google features as well in our launch coverage.

Also on sale for one of the first times, the Fitbit Sense 2 Advanced Smartwatch lands at $229 on Amazon. This is down from the usual $300 going rate, is only the third time on sale, and saves you $71. It comes within $30 of the most readily available Black Friday price too. As the latest flagship wearable from Fitbit, the new Sense 2 improves on the original by packing some new health monitoring tech into a slimmer wrist-friendly design than before. Alongside all the other ways it has been able to keep tabs on fitness, there’s now a stress-monitoring EDA sensor, which joins the built-in GPS, heart rate sensor, and sleep monitoring tech. There’s still six-day battery life, as well as everything else detailed in our launch coverage.

Blink Mini is as affordable as smart home cameras come at $24

Amazon is now offering the Blink Mini Indoor Smart Camera for $24. Normally fetching $35, today’s offer is marking the first price cut since back on Black Friday and is now landing at the second-best price yet. This 30% markdown has only been beaten by holiday discounts and comes within $4.50 of those all-time lows.

If you’re looking to start 2023 off feeling a bit more protected, the Blink Mini is the perfect camera for adding a bit of security to your smart home. The even more affordable price is already a perk, but then you’re also looking at its 1080p recording and ultracompact design that delivers motion detection and two-way audio. Not to mention, the entire package integrates with Alexa to tie in with your overarching smart home system.

Black Friday pricing returns on fitness-ready Beats Studio Buds 

Amazon now offers the Beats Studio Buds in Moon Gray for $90. Typically fetching $150, you’re looking at a match of the Black Friday price as well as a return to the all-time low for the first time since. The $60 in savings haven’t been beaten before, and today’s offer is not only $10 under our previous mention but also the same amount below what you’ll pay for other styles right now.

Beats Studio Buds arrived last summer and still stand as some of the brand’s latest workout companions. The true wireless form factor makes these ideal for tagging along on workouts as well as your typical daily wear, with active noise cancellation joining the feature set on top of a transparency mode. Other notable inclusions like Hey Siri support, a compact charging case with USB-C that brings battery life up to 24 hours, and IPX4 water resistance complete the package. Dive into our hands-on review for a closer look.

Lenovo’s latest Flex 5 Chromebook helps tackle the winter semester

Dropping to its best price in 6 months, Amazon now offers the the latest 2022 Lenovo Flex 5 13-inch Chromebook for $250. Marking the first chance to save in nearly that same time frame, today’s offer is down from the usual $325 going rate in order to save you $75. It comes within $2 of the all-time low, and is also the second-best price yet. Just in time for the start of the winter semester or to refresh your setup to start the year, one of Lenovo’s latest Chromebooks is now on sale and delivering a portable workstation centered around a 2-in-1 design. Its 13-inch FHD touchscreen can fold back into a tablet for alternating between school work and Netflix binge sessions, and the entire package comes backed by 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, and a 1.9GHz processor. 

New all-time low drops Philips Hue’s Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip to $102

Amazon currently offers the Philips Hue Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip for $102. Normally fetching $180, this is delivering a new all-time low at $78 off. It’s $6 below our previous holiday mention from last month, too, and the most affordable we’ve seen any of the brand’s addressable light strips.

As one of the more recent additions to the Philips Hue ecosystem that launched back in October, the Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip enters as a long-awaited option for bringing addressable RGB lighting into your space. It measures 6 feet in length and on top of pairing with the greater Hue ecosystem over Zigbee for Siri, Alexa, or Assistant integration, works by itself thanks to Bluetooth connectivity.
