The reason why this was shifting off the shelves at £49.99 amongst the likes of other fitness devices was because it is dubbed the best budget priced tracker in the market. Well at £24.99 at Sainsburys, this is an absolute no-brainer.

The device is still selling on many other websites for just under £50.00. If you want a fitness tracker at the best price, this is it. Easy.

Product Highlights:

- 6 month battery life with no recharge (unlike other devices)
- 3 colors - black, white, pink
- Sleep tracker
- Fitness tracker and App for Android and iOS
- No monthly fee
- Includes a watch strap, 2 discrete button clips and one keyring strap.
- Very small and discrete
- PruHealth Points
- Made in Britain by British Entrepreneurs.

    Just to be aware I bought one of these off Amazon during the Black Friday deals at this price and it wasn't compatible with my phone - a Samsung Galaxy 3 mini. Check to make sure before you buy it

    I own a Samsung Galaxy S4, S5 and HTC One M8 and it works fine.

    What I will say is that Fitbug has been selected as one of their 24 health partners by Samsung recently, which include Nike etc. I would personally phone Fitbug who have an amazing customer service operation if you have an problems.

    Its strange that your Sammy didn't work but the app is always being updated as is premium weight loss app, Kiqplan.

    Please can I ask about the battery - it says 6 months battery life - what happens then - do you change the battery or do a recharge?

    After 6 months or when it depletes, just buy a new one and replace. They cost less than 50p. First link on a Google search:

    As I said, this was dubbed as the best fitness tracker due to its price at £49.99. At this price it is a steal. You can expect these to shift pretty quickly considering a few other retailers are out of stock and alot of retailers are selling at £50.00. This price actually beats the USA price!

    I think they are always expanding on their range of compatible devices but to be fair, from the list you have posted, most of them devices are current and what alot of people probably own.

    I was interested in one but can only get it as part of a groceries delivery, and can't help think that by the time I can be home for a delivery, there won't be any left. Am I doing something wrong?
