Amazon Prime Day smartwatch deals

You’ll often get discounts on smartwatches once they’ve been around for a few months, but it’s during big shopping events like Amazon Prime Day that you can find them at the best prices. That’s true for the new Apple Watch Series 8, and even more so than previous-generation models like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 or the Garmin Fenix ​​6.

No matter what kind of smartwatch you’re looking for – Wear OS, fitness-focused Garmin or Apple Watch – there will be deals on offer at this year’s Prime Day event. We’re now on the second – and final – day of the sale, so be quick if you want to take advantage.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm) – Save $120

The Galaxy Watch 5 is one of the best Wear OS watches on the market and offers all the latest software features and Samsung’s fitness tracking expertise. It’s a great watch and doesn’t cost as much as others. All-in-one is a great value, especially now that it’s more than 40 percent off the original price.

Apple Watch Series 8 – Save $120

We’ve never seen Apple’s latest smartwatch run so low, which is a cracking deal for one of the best smartwatches out there. The new Apple Watch Series 8 has a larger, brighter display, accurate fitness and health tracking, and tons of third-party apps to install. It is also the first to include a temperature sensor, which is very useful when tracking the menstrual cycle. Simply put, it’s the best smartwatch for iPhone users.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (45mm) – $70 off

With the Watch 5 Pro, Samsung has packed it all into top features, a great display, feature-rich software and great hardware performance in a package with better battery life than the smaller standard Galaxy Watch 5. If it’s in your budget, this is a great option.

Fitbit Sense 2 – Save $70

The Sense 2 is Fitbit’s top-of-the-line smartwatch model, offering the company’s most advanced fitness and recovery metrics to date, as well as heart health features like ECG, SpO2 and irregular heart rate notifications. At just $230, the fitness-focused wearable is a great deal.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (40mm) – $49 off

Samsung Galaxy Watch offers the most comprehensive feature for Android users – we think. It runs the latest version of Wear OS, has the Samsung Health platform on board, can install third-party apps, respond to notifications, make payments and listen to music.

Fossil Gen 6 – Save $120

If you want Wear OS features in an attractive package, from a respected watchmaker, you can’t go wrong with the Fossil Gen 6. The fitness tracker isn’t amazing, but it does all the other smart stuff pretty well. You can respond to notifications/messages, make Google Pay payments and customize watch faces. It is also affordable these days.

Garmin Forerunner 745 – Save $220

You’ll find discounts on many Garmin watches this year, many of which are already sold out. This last day, the original 745 is down to $279.99 among those still available. Like any decent Garmin, this one is waterproof, can give you detailed information about your running, cycling and walking performance, and has a battery that lasts about a week. You can also link your Deezer, Spotify and Amazon Music accounts and have offline playlists to listen to while you’re at work.

Garmin Vivoactive 4 – Save $160

The Garmin Vivoactive 4 is over a year old now, but it still packs a ton of fitness and outdoor-focused features. You’ll get all-day heart rate, great GPS tracking, multiple or different types of workouts to try and – crucially – long battery life. You also get offline music support from your favorite streaming services. Plus, you’ll get more than a week out of the battery.

What to consider when buying a smart watch

The first and most obvious thing to consider is which smartphone platform you need it to be compatible with. For example – if you are using an Android phone, you cannot buy an Apple Watch. Similarly, some modern Wear OS watches from Samsung and Pixel Watch do not support iPhone. Brands like Huawei, Garmin and Fitbit are multi-platform and support both iPhone and Android.

Another key thing to consider is what you intend to use it for. For example, if you want detailed analysis and data from your outdoor running, cycling and walking sessions, you might look for a Garmin or Huawei watch. If you want daily fitness and health tracking like touch payment, music streaming and interactive notifications, Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch are your best choice.

Design and sustainability are also key considerations. If you’re outdoors a lot and want something that can withstand harsh environments, you’ll want something that’s not only waterproof to a high standard, but also extremely resistant and durable. Of course, if you mostly just wear it to the office, in relatively informal situations, you probably don’t need a big, bulky machine.

Then there’s battery life. Don’t buy an Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, or Samsung Galaxy if your lifestyle means you’ll last more than a day without a charger, or if you don’t want to charge your watch every day. Take a look. Again you want something from Garmin or Huawei.
