Theragun Pro: $429

Best Buy


Theragun Pro is a professional-grade device constructed for physical therapists, trainers and other professionals, but it’s also great for athletes, however amateur. Like the Theragun Elite, it is equipped with an OLED screen and a customizable speed range of 1,750 to 2,400 PPMs (percussions per minute) with three presets. However, instead of 40 pounds of force, the Pro boasts 60 and is the only model with an adjustable arm, allowing for easier use.

The Theragun Pro comes with six attachments: a dampener, standard ball, wedge, thumb, cone and super soft tip. A two-year warranty (compared with just one with the less expensive models) makes it more appealing for anyone who might use the gadget daily.

The Theragun Elite is really simple to use — you control the intensity of the massage via an up or down press of a button and by varying the pressure you apply on your muscle. (We recommend, from first-hand experience, starting with a lighter touch.) The triangular design makes it really easy to reach all areas of your body on your own, at just the right angles — even those otherwise hard-to-reach spots on your back. It includes five attachments — a dampener, standard ball, thumb, cone and wedge.

It’s a high-end splurge, to be sure, but trust us — you’ll wind up getting a lot of use out of this massage gun once you know how good it makes you feel after a session.

This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.

Most of us find ourselves falling into one of two groups when it comes to working out: the reluctant gymgoers and the gym rats. Whether you like working out or not, one thing that can help motivate you and help you make the most of your time is tracking your activity with a Fitbit. These smartwatches can track your fitness activities, sleep patterns, stress levels and heart health. If you’re interested in monitoring your fitness journey in 2022 and beyond, a Fitbit is a stylish, comfortable and effective way to get you in shape.

We saw some impressive offers on these fitness trackers during last season’s holiday sales, but if you missed them, don’t panic. While many of those deals have expired, there are still quite a few bargains on Fitbit smartwatches available. Check out the best deals currently available below. We will update this article periodically as deals expire and new price drops hit retailers.

If you’re already sold on getting a Fitbit but aren’t sure which one is right for you, we’ve got you covered with all the information you need. Read this article for a deep dive on a few of Fitbit’s most prominent models on sale.

With tools to monitor heart health, stress management and even skin temperature, this is a bit like having a medical assistant around your wrist at all times. Besides keeping a close eye on atrial fibrillation (heart rate irregularities), an EDA scan app detects electrodermal activity, which often correlates to your body’s response to stress. You can also see your nightly blood-oxygen levels at a glance. 

It has built-in GPS for hikes, bikes and driving. The watch works with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa for news updates, bedtime reminders and alarms, and it can control smart home devices, too. The smartwatch comes with a variety of clock face options. One battery charge lasts six full days, and a full day’s charge takes only 12 minutes. It’s available in black, gray or white and gold. Read our Fitbit Sense review.

The Fitbit Versa 3 is the newest model available, and adds quite a few new features compared to the previous generation. In addition to heartrate and sleep cycle monitoring, the new generation added blood-oxygen tracking for more detailed health metrics. 

Named our favorite Apple Watch alternative for 2022, this fitness tracker doesn’t skimp on the smartwatch features, either. In addition to adding Google Assistant to its smart-home compatibility, the new Versa 3 can also download hundreds of apps like Spotify and Uber.

While it’s not one of the latest models, the Fitbit Versa 2 is still a popular fitness wearable that offers a whole lot of features at a really great price. The Versa 2 is one of the company’s fitness smartwatches, meaning it has a few more advanced features to help you know who’s
