If you or a loved one are in the market for a new fitness tracker, you may want to check out Amazon’s early Black Friday deal on the Fitbit Charge 6. Just launched in September, the wearable — which works with Android and iOS smartphones — brings back the physical side button and deepens its Google integration. The tracker typically costs $160, but this Amazon Black Friday deal drops its price to $100, a record low.
Fitbit says the Charge 6 is the company’s most accurate heart rate tracker, offering up to 60 percent more accurate stats compared to previous models. In addition, it includes an ECG app to let you know about any heart rhythm irregularities and an EDA sensor that can tell you how your body is responding to stress. The tracker can also measure blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and skin temperature. You can even wear it to bed and receive a Sleep Score to keep tabs on your rest patterns.
The Fitbit Charge 6 Black Friday deal lets you choose from three colors: black case (with a black band), gold case (red band) or silver case (white band). All three combinations are eligible for the $60 discount on Amazon. The tracker includes both small and large bands in the box, so you don’t have to worry about measuring your wrist and buying a correct version in advance.
As far as integration with Google apps, the tracker can display Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions on your wrist, and it supports Google Wallet for mobile payments and YouTube Music for streaming audio on the go.
The wearable tracker has a face made of aluminum, glass and resin. It includes a 1.04-inch AMOLED touchscreen to display all your stats, and its battery is estimated to last seven days on a full charge. If you own a compatible exercise machine from companies like Peloton, Tonal and Nordic, the Fitbit Charge 6 should have no problem connecting. (Just make sure the workout machine supports Bluetooth Heart Rate Profile.)

Amazon has announced a partnership with Snap, enabling users to directly purchase its products through ads on the social app. Real-time pricing, delivery estimates, product details, and Prime eligibility will be displayed in Amazon ads on Snapchat. Users can link their Snapchat and Amazon accounts for streamlined in-app shopping.
This one-time setup allows customers to complete Amazon checkouts within the product ad, utilizing their default shipping address and payment method without leaving the social app. In-app shopping is currently available for select products advertised on Snapchat, whether sold by Amazon or independent sellers within Amazon’s store.
This move positions Amazon to better compete with TikTok, which introduced TikTok Shop, enabling brands and creators to sell products directly on the platform. Despite Amazon’s size and influence, TikTok’s ability to engage younger Millennials and Gen Z users presents a competitive challenge. Partnering with Snapchat exposes Amazon’s products to a demographic it may not reach through conventional means.
Amazon’s collaboration with Snap mirrors its recent agreement with Meta, allowing users to purchase products directly from ads on Instagram and Facebook. Amazon also has a partnership with Pinterest, facilitating product discovery and purchases through shoppable content.
These partnerships emerge as Amazon endeavors to establish its presence in social media, akin to Instagram and TikTok. Amazon’s social shopping features, including a TikTok-like feed, exhibit commercial potential but are still finding their footing in comparison to other social media platforms.
The collaboration benefits Snap by bolstering its advertising business, which has faced challenges in recent years. Following the announcement of the Amazon-Snap deal, Snap’s shares experienced a more than 9% increase.
While contributing to Amazon’s competition with Shein in the U.S., the deal signifies a strategic move for both companies in the evolving landscape of social commerce.

Music gear and plugin maker Arturia is known for its annual Black Friday sale and it’s that time of year again. The sale is officially live, offering deep 50 percent discounts on most of its software instruments and effects plugins.
That means you can snag the stellar V Collection 9 for $300 instead of $600. The latest and greatest collection of vintage synth recreations now features 32 instruments, along with thousands upon thousands of presets. The sounds are pristine, the interface is solid and the presets are easily accessible, thanks to integration with the company’s Analog Lab software. You even get integration with those newer Mac chipsets.
The sale also applies to Arturia’s collection of effects plugins, which recently added a rotating Leslie speaker to its roster of studio-grade effects. Other than that, the collection includes everything you need to finish up high-quality tracks, from compressors to reverbs and beyond. The sale brings the price down to $250 from $500.
The discounts aren’t just for collections of virtual instruments and plugins. You can also get the well-reviewed Pigments synthesizer for $100 instead of $200. This is the company’s flagship modern soft-synth, with two engines working in parallel to create unique sounds. Arturia also frequently updates this software with new engines and effects.
Analog Lab is also on sale for $100 instead of $200, making for an extremely attractive entrypoint to Arturia’s many offerings. The Black Friday sale starts today and ends on December 5, so you have a couple of weeks to set aside plugin money.

It doesn’t have to be the case that a monster movie has great action and truly turgid human drama between the setpieces, but that’s largely been the case for Legendary’s Godzilla reboot, the “Monsterverse.” Sometimes the action being so fun can tip the odds against some truly stupid human beings—see King of the…
