New Year’s resolution the season is in full swing, and it’s officially past Quit Day (the second Friday in January, when most people stop committing to their resolutions). Maybe you want to exercise more often, or track your schedule better, or reach a certain goal, or drink more water. No matter what habit you’re making or breaking, we’ve found some deals on gear reviewed by WIRED to help you on your journey.

Featured Wired Deals:
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $200 ($50 off)
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are the best workout earbuds you can buy. This price matches the best deal we’ve seen, and all colors (orange, lavender, black, and beige) are discounted. The design is very comfortable, has great noise canceling and transparent mode, and lasts up to 10 hours depending on your noise canceling settings. There is also a built-in heart rate monitor. These simple buds have great sound and are compatible with iOS and Android devices.
Garmin Vivoactive 6 for $250 ($50 off)
The Garmin Vivoactive 6 recently earned the top spot in our fitness tracker buying guide. It looks great on your arm, and plays well with both Android and iOS devices. Plus, it’s intuitive, with built-in satellite connectivity and a bright, easy-to-read AMOLED display. You’ll find a host of fitness features, including blood oxygen monitoring, sleep tracking, heart rate and step counting, and fall detection. There is an optional Connect+ subscription that costs $70 per year, but we don’t think you need it.
Apple Watch Series 11 for $300 ($100 off)
The Apple Watch Series 11 finally has a full 24 hours of battery life, making it worth considering if you’ve been in the market for an upgrade. It is an excellent fitness tracker and smartwatch. It can track all kinds of stats, from basics like steps and exercise to sleep, high blood pressure, and blood pressure. It’s been on sale at this price since the holiday shopping season, but it often fluctuates back and forth, and we’ve never seen it for less than it is now.

The Best Food
Gold Standard 100 Percent Whey Protein Powder
Optimum Nutrition was on sale this week for “Stop It Day”, but the powder is also sold on Amazon. This is the best protein powder overall. It delivers 24 grams of protein per serving, and is available in over 20 flavors, so you should be able to find one you like. (My favorite is Banana Cream, which tastes like yellow Laffy Taffy, and WIRED editor Kat Merck’s favorite is Delicious Strawberry, but there are smaller options to shake up, too.) If you’re working on your benefits this year, this is a solid deal to consider.
Daily Planner for the Day $57 ($21 off)
Designer of the Day
Daily Planner
This planner has space for a standard calendar and a daily to-do list. Half of each page has time blocks from 5 am to 9 pm, and you’ll find a to-do list section and a “three most important things” section. It’s a powerful system, but if you want space to fine-tune the minutiae of your daily life, there is space.
