Some are dedicated health trackers, while there are plenty of smartwatches out there that have health features along with plenty of other phone-like capabilities.

Reebelo

‍

In its Health Care section, Reebelo offers a handful of Samsung Galaxy rings for tracking everything from your sleep to your workout. You'll find the most robust selection in the Smartwatch section with options from Fitbit, Garmin, Apple, Samsung, and more.

eBay

‍

Of course, there's always eBay. A quick search will get you plenty of results for any health tracker you can imagine. Use the filters to narrow it down by condition, version — whatever fits your needs. One thing to keep in mind is to add "refurbished" or "open box" to your search. And before you buy, look for return options and check the seller ratings to make sure you're buying from a trustworthy seller.

Amazon Renewed

‍

We wouldn't blame you if you're trying to avoid Amazon. It's certainly not out first pick! But whether it's for budget, convenience, or availability, we still think buying secondhand is better than buying new. That's where Amazon Renewed comes in. You'll find pre-owned and refurbished electronics, including health trackers and smartwatches. Every product is tested, inspected, and restored to full working condition, and comes with the same accessories you'd get with a new one. You're also covered by the Amazon Renewed Guarantee, so you can replace or return it if needed.

Facebook Marketplace

‍

Facebook Marketplace is another way to find refurbished health trackers locally. But before you do, do some research on the product you're looking to buy,and what most commonly breaks or goes wrong with it. This will give you things to check before buying. Facebook Marketplace doesn’t offer built-in buyer protection, so you need to be more diligent in making sure the condition of the product is as expected. Meet the seller in person, ask detailed questions, double-check the device specs, and always make the exchange in a safe, public place.
