From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Some brands even rolled out the discounts at the start of November, and we expect to see the deals continue throughout this week, and into Cyber Monday (28 November).

Fitbit charge 5 activity tracker: Was £169.99, now £99, Amazon.co.uk

Available in three different colours, the Fitbit charge 5 only arrived in September 2021, so we’re pleased to see it discounted by so much for Black Friday this year. The fitness tracker has a 1.04in colour display mounted in a steel body and fitted to a rubber strap. Fitbit claims up to seven days of battery life, and the device is water-resistant to 50m.

With built-in GPS, the charge 5 can be used to track daily steps, activity and running, plus there are 20 different exercise modes, exercise reminders, 24/7 heart-rate monitoring and sleep tracking.

Other features include an ECG app, a health metrics dashboard that includes SpO2 (blood oxygen level), heart-rate variability, skin temperature and menstrual health tracking. Small and large size straps are included in the box.

Although intended for adults too, we included the charge 5 in our round-up of the best Fitbit devices for kids and teenagers, with it being named the best for “wellness on a budget”. Our reviewer gave it a score of 9/10 and said: “This is an excellent fitness tracker that improves on the ace 3 (£49, Currys.co.uk) and the charge 4 (£99: Very.co.uk), and even steals a few of the best features from the sense – just with a more reasonable price tag, and without the ability to take calls.”
