The best Apple smartwatch deals

For most iPhone users, this is the best smartwatch. It is very easy to use, available in various sizes, colors and types of watch bands and has accurate health, sleep and fitness tracking. Plus, this latest version has improved 24 hours of battery life (up from 18 hours in Series 10).

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 retails for $799, so seeing it for $499 is a big deal. This is one of Apple’s biggest, bright smartwatches, made with tough materials like titanium and sapphire crystal glass for extra durability. The brand launched the Apple Watch Ultra 3 last September, so supplies of the Ultra 2 are limited.

If you want your Apple Watch to look more stylish, consider this version of last year’s Series 10. It has a titanium case and a metallic Milanese watch band that enhances the look of the watch. It also has cellular connectivity — if you pair it with a carrier plan, you can use the watch without your phone nearby.

The best Fitbit and Google smartwatch deals

The Pixel Watch 3 is 40 percent off right now, and while the Google Pixel Watch 4 is the newest model, this $120 savings makes it hard to pass up. The watch has health, sleep and fitness tracking, automatic exercise detection and seamlessly syncs with any Android phone. Plus get up to 24 hours of battery life.

This is my favorite Fitbit fitness tracker, and the one I recommend whenever it’s on sale. It tracks all the basics – steps, running, workouts and sleep, with more than 40 training profiles built in. Plus it is very slim and light, unlike many smartwatches on the market. You can learn more in my Fitbit Charge 6 review.

This more advanced Fitbit tracker is 40 percent off, and is perfect for anyone looking for smartwatch features compared to smaller Fitbit trackers. It has a larger square display that makes it easier to read notifications and includes support for the Amazon Alexa voice assistant.

Best Garmin smartwatch deals

The Vivoactive 5 is Garmin’s first great watch, and it’s the lowest priced right now. It strikes a good balance between looks and features, with a subtle and sleek design compared to some sportier watches. It has in-depth metrics for health, sleep and fitness, plus Garmin body battery (energy monitoring) and Garmin trainer features.

If you’re about to start your journey, you’ll love this entry-level Garmin watch that’s 20 percent off right now. It has many built-in training tools such as Garmin trainers, training plans and daily recommended exercises. It always shows useful and accurate statistics when I’m running, and connects quickly to GPS. You can learn more in my Garmin Forerunner 165 review.

Best Samsung smartwatch deals

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a version of the regular Galaxy watch, with a larger 46-millimeter face, a stainless steel case (instead of aluminum), additional buttons and a rotating bezel. It uses the same Galaxy software, and works best with Android phones.

Other smartwatch deals

Amazfit is known for its budget-friendly fitness trackers, and this model on sale for $80 is a good example. It’s sleek, slim and classy – it’s as thin as the Apple Watch Series 11, with a stainless steel case and multiple watch options. It has GPS, health, sleep and fitness tracking, with over 160 exercise modes.

While 17 percent off may not sound like much, this is the lowest price ever for Amazfit Balance 2. This is one of the more premium fitness tracker brands, with long battery life, diving support, offline maps, dual-band GPS and plenty of exercise and sleep tracking features.

If you want the best battery life, a solar charging watch like this is the way to go. This Suunto Vertical gets up to 60 days of normal battery life and up to 90 hours during GPS-based activities, more than almost all competitors. It is made with a durable steel case and a sapphire crystal screen, and comes with a very nice silicone strap.
