Best Health, Beauty, and Fitness Deals Right Now

Apple introduced an updated version of its high-value SE watch in September, which has triggered a series of solid deals on the first-generation Watch SE. The first-gen SE uses a less powerful processor than the new model, but it performs most of the functions that make the SE one of our highest-rated smartwatches. The major difference between the prior-gen SE and the Apple Watch Series 8 is that it lacks a blood oxygen sensor that helps boost sleep tracking accuracy, as well as a temperature sensor that can provide retroactive estimates of ovulation. The prior-gen SE also lacks the high-speed G-force sensor that can sense if you’ve been in a car crash, a feature found on the latest SE, which starts at $249. But on your wrist, the first-gen SE is almost identical to the new SE or even the Series 8.

Why it’s a great deal: You won’t find a better price for a new Apple Watch.

While technically a fitness tracker, the Garmin Forerunner 35 offers a watchlike feel. You get a 1.3-inch monochrome display that shows your step count and heart rate. The Forerunner 35 has a built-in GPS and a claimed battery life of nine days, and we found in our testing that it makes good on its water-resistance claim of 164 feet. CR testers give the fitness tracker top marks for heart-rate tracking and step-count accuracy, as well as ease of use.

Why it’s a good deal: Walmart’s price is back to the lowest we’ve seen.

The Fitbit Inspire 2 fitness tracker has been on sale since mid-April, but the price continues to fall. It’s now only $7 more than the lowest we’ve seen all year. It gets top marks from our testers for step-count and heart rate accuracy, and it earns a spot among the best fitness trackers for its ease of use, pairing, and readability in low light. The Inspire 2 also has a very generous claimed battery life of 10 days (we don’t test that characteristic) and built-in GPS, a feature not found on many other fitness trackers.

Why it’s a good deal: It’s now at the lowest we’ve seen all year.

The lightweight and stylish Fitbit Luxe looks more like jewelry than a straight-up fitness tracker, and it performs well on basic functions. The device earns high ratings for both ease of use and counting steps, and it includes the stress-tracking features found on the more expensive Sense smartwatch. It isn’t quite as good as other models when it comes to heart rate tracking, though. And the tiny screen can be tough to read, especially for people who have trouble seeing up close.

Why it’s a good deal: This is a great discount for a slim, discreet fitness tracker.

This mat dries quickly and has an excellent grip on the floor. Its dry top surface also offers excellent grip. It has minimal cushioning, as well, which some people prefer.

Why it’s a good deal: This is a nice discount on one of the better mats we tried.

Consumer Reports tested 19 yoga mats to find out how each one holds up to regular use. Gaiam’s Performance mat aces the drying and grip tests CR put it through but offers somewhat less cushioning. That’s not necessarily a bad thing; a firmer mat can provide more stability for standing poses and can be easier on the wrists.

Why it’s a good deal: This is the same sale price we’ve seen for the last few months.

The Adidas Don’t Rest Alphaskin Sports Bra is a traditional compression style, with a racerback and no adjustable features. The racerback is made with a thin, loosely knit material that’s ultra-breathable. It offers a great fit for some, but the long, nonadjustable straps limit its audience to those with longer torsos.

Why it’s a good deal: The sale price at Macy’s matches what we saw for Black Friday, the lowest price of the year.

This adjustable sports bra from Champion is almost like a T-shirt bra, with its defined, lightly padded cups, and indeed, it can double as a T-shirt bra if desired. It has adjustable, convertible straps and three sets of hooks in the band, and comes in sizes XS to 2XL. It’s on the plain side, stylewise, but it’s budget-friendly, versatile bra that one Consumer Reports evaluator still wears regularly. 

Why it’s a good deal: It has been on sale at Amazon for $24 for months, but we’ve never seen the price dip this low.

The Sennheiser CX Plus offers really good value in a true wireless noise-canceling earbud. According to our testers, the sound quality is more than solid, while the active noise-canceling performance is among the best we’ve tested and includes a transparency mode so that you can hear traffic while you’re walking. Some users might find the buds a bit bulky, but our testers found the fit to be fine for most users.

Why it’s a good deal: This is $10 lower that we’ve ever seen before, a new price that wasn’t even available on Black Friday.

These earbuds offer remarkable performance for the price. Above-average sound quality and a decent battery life make them a good budget pick.

Why it’s a good deal: These earbuds are already very affordable at full-price so a 23 percent discount is just an added bonus.

If you want spectacular sound, this is the deal for you. The Sony WF-1000XM4 is one of our top-rated pairs of noise-canceling earbuds, featuring stellar sound quality and noise cancellation that ranks among the best in this category. It also sports a long battery life and handy features such as an ambient sound-monitoring mode that lets you keep an ear on your environment.

Why it’s a good deal: Even at a modest discount, these Sonys are so good they’re a worthwhile buy. And this deal is best price we’ve seen all year.

With variable speeds, dial controls, and a reversible shredding and slicing disc, the NutriChef NCFP8 food processor is not one to miss. It is one of the best options under $100, especially at this discount. Although the model receives a subpar score for grating in Consumer Reports’ tests, it still manages to score highly for overall performance. Included in the set, you’ll find a dough blade plus whipping and juicing attachments. This food processor has been about $10 off for the past couple of weeks, but we recently saw it drop to almost 50 percent off, so that price could return.

Why it’s a good deal: It is one of the best options under $100, especially at this discount.

Ninja full-sized blenders earned an above-average rating for predicted reliability in our member surveys. The 1,200-watt Ninja BN801 Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ combines impressive performance and value pricing. Whether you crave soups or smoothies, this model has you covered, receiving a top rating for puréeing and a score almost as good for icy drinks. It comes with a personal blender attachment, a 24-ounce to-go cup, and a food processor accessory. The blender’s removable blade also makes cleanup a cinch, a big reason it did very well in our convenience tests.

Why it’s a good deal: This is only $20 more than the best price you’ll find for this blender outside of a major sale.

Though this blender isn’t among our top-rated, the Calphalon Auto-Speed BLCLMB1 is one of the most reliable models in our tests. The 1,100-watt blender comes in dark stainless steel with a 68-ounce BPA-free Tritan jar, plus a 25-ounce smoothie cup you can take on the road. It weighs 8 pounds and has a pulse option and a removable blade.

Why it’s a good deal: At 31 percent off, this is a good discount for this model.

The electronic controls and programmed settings on the Ninja AF101 are among the easiest to see and use, respectively, earning high ratings in our assessments. Cleaning the inside and outside is fairly simple and the measured capacity of this model is just about average at 3 quarts. Bear in mind that this model runs on the noisy side, with the fan as loud as a countertop microwave.

Why it’s a good deal: This is the same price we saw for Black Friday.

The Helios is a great option if you want the power and performance of a pricier model but don’t want to spend close to $500. It scored well in our drying speed lab tests but is the loudest model we tried. Even though it was loud in our lab tests, it didn’t sound loud to users at home.

Why it’s a good deal: This is just a few dollars more than the lowest price we saw during Black Friday.

The Peloton exercise bike is CR’s top-rated bike, and it’s hard to beat at its original price, and is a great deal with a discount. It’s a compact bike that’s highly adjustable, and connects to Peloton’s service for a large library of workouts.

Why it’s a good deal: This is just $50 more than the best price we’ve seen for the Peloton.

This folding treadmill comes with quick, easy-access speed and incline controls—and four cup holders, in case you prefer to run with multiple beverages.

Why it’s a good deal: This treadmill is now $100 less than it has been in recent weeks.

The Schwinn 470 is a very good elliptical with a built in display that provides a well-organized and comprehensive variety of exercise statistics. Its programs can monitor heart rate and automatically adjust resistance level and exercise intensity, and users can create additional custom programs. The machine also includes an electronic incline feature, which means the incline can be adjusted while the elliptical is in use to allow for slight variations in movement and muscles used—an unusual feature at this price.

Why it’s a good deal: This elliptical is back to its low Black Friday price.

This Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbell set has a good hand grip and lots of weight settings in the lower ranges—which makes these weights a good option for those who are toning or just beginning to use dumbbells. The dumbbells remain the same length at all weights, which can require some adjustments to range of motion for certain exercises.

Why it’s a good deal: Amazon’s sale price is the lowest we’ve ever seen, beating the previous low by $20.

The Oral-B iO Series 7 Electric Toothbrush is an excellent toothbrush that does a great job at cleaning. It has five cleaning modes, a brushing timer, a pressure sensor that can tell you when you’re pushing the brush against your teeth too hard, and top-notch battery performance.

Why it’s a good deal: This more than 20 percent discount is a great reason to upgrade your oral care.

This toothbrush from Colgate does a very good job at teeth cleaning, and it comes with a timer to help ensure you brush your teeth for the full recommended two minutes. Its battery life and ease of use are outmatched by some other electric toothbrushes, but it will get the job done.

Why it’s a good deal: This is a great price if you’re curious to try an electric toothbrush.

The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean smart toothbrush does a great job keeping teeth free of plaque. It offers five cleaning modes and a built-in timer. All the colors of this toothbrush are on sale, though the steepest discount is on pink. The sonic brush head is a great option for those who prefer a more traditional shape of toothbrush (rather than a round, rotating brush).

Why it’s a good deal: This is already one of the better sales available, and the on-page coupon takes another $6 off the price.
