Garmin Smartwatch Deals

The Garmin Venu Sq 2 is our Editors’ Choice for an affordable fitness-focused smartwatch—and that’s without the additional 40% discount. It features several health benefits, including more than 25 workout modes, GPS tracking, step count, heart rate, pulse oximeter, stress, respiration, and hydration statistics, as well as some of the best sleep tracking on the market. Additionally, it supports calendar and weather apps, Garmin Mobile Pay, and smartphone notifications, making it a well-rounded and practical wearable. While lacking the third-party app support of the Apple Watch SE or Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, the Venu Sq 2 excels in battery life, lasting up to 11 days in smartwatch mode or 26 hours in GPS mode.

Per our expert review, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is “an excellent fitness-focused smartwatch that delivers accurate heart rate measurements, actionable health insights, and key lifestyle features.” Other standout features include a robust 11-day battery life, onboard music storage, nap tracking, and a specialized wheelchair mode. Thanks to the bright, responsive AMOLED touch screen and sleek, rounded design, it’s an aesthetically stunning fitness tracker-smartwatch hybrid.

Performance-focused athletes will get the most use out of Garmin’s Forerunner 55. It’s packed with helpful training tools, including a PacePro feature that provides GPS-based pace guidance based on your selected course. Advanced wellness features, such as intensity minutes, fitness age, and all-day respiration, help you gain insight into your body and how to optimize your training. While it’s best suited for running, it can also efficiently track cycling, pool swimming, pilates, HIIT, and other workouts. We haven’t yet reviewed this model, but awarded its predecessor, the Garmin Forerunner 45, an “Excellent” rating.

Samsung Smartwatch Deals

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is one of our top recommendations for Android users. It builds upon the high performance of the Galaxy Watch 6, adding dual-frequency GPS, more efficient software, and improved health and sleep tracking, including FDA-approved sleep apnea detection. Plus, it leverages Galaxy AI to provide a holistic Energy Score and personalized wellness tips. From fitness tracking to innovative connectivity features, there’s not much this smartwatch can’t do.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra offers the technical performance and durability that hard-core explorers need. In addition to highly detailed sleep analysis (including snore detection) and multisport tracking, it features AI-based recommendations to maximize your progress, giving an energy score, wellness score, and more. In terms of hardware, it’s slightly larger and more robust, featuring a titanium build and a customizable quick button to facilitate easier navigation.

Apple Smartwatch Deals

Apple’s flagship smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, was our 2024 Editors’ Choice winner for iPhone users. A fast and efficient S10 chip powers the watch, enabling numerous health, fitness, and lifestyle features, including GPS workout recording, ECG, sleep and cycle tracking, music, podcasts, and support for third-party apps. It also has the newly added audio playback mode. The new depth gauge and water temperature sensors also make it a superb choice for snorkeling and other shallow-water activities.

The latest Apple Watch SE we reviewed hits the sweet spot in balancing performance with price. It’s marketed as the “budget-friendly” model in the Apple Watch lineup. Still, it includes many of the same core features, including fall detection, irregular heart rate and rhythm notifications, and pretty much the same access to apps and connectivity features. Essentially, if you can forgo an always-on display and some of the more specialized health metrics, such as body temperature and ECG, then the Apple Watch SE offers the best value for your money, especially when on sale.

Fitbit Smartwatch Deals

The Fitbit Versa 4 offers a classic style with fitness-forward performance and a long-lasting six-day battery life. Beyond the 40 exercise modes, it can track and record essential health metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, overnight skin temperature variation, and sleep. Whether you use Android or iOS, this smartwatch is an excellent choice for those who prefer a more straightforward fitness tracker and don’t need all the high-tech connectivity features. In our testing, we especially loved the responsive touch screen, physical navigation button, and the variety of watch face choices.

The Fitbit Inspire 3 earned our Editors’ Choice award for the best affordable fitness tracker, featuring an always-on color screen, capable workout and health metrics, and the longest battery life in the Fitbit lineup. In addition to measuring heart rate, skin temperature, and heart rate variability, this updated model has an SpO2 sensor. It’s best suited for tracking indoor exercise and overall daily health and wellbeing—and at a sale price of just $79.95, it won’t stress your budget, either.

According to our review, the Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the most capable and affordable fitness trackers available. With 40 exercise modes, heart rate sensors, and a slim design, its primary focus is on health and fitness, but you can also access Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music with it. Use your stress management score, nightly sleep score, and on-wrist mindfulness sessions to monitor and improve your mental health. This fitness tracker is ideal if you prefer a sleeker, more modern watch face.

Like other Fitbits, the Sense 2 is relatively slim and lightweight, focusing on fitness and health. In particular, our reviewer loved the excellent stress management features, including real-time mood tracking and mindfulness guidance. Compared with many other smartwatches, the battery life is significantly better, lasting nearly six days on a single charge while tracking important health metrics and exercise, such as step count, heart rate, sleep score, and more.

Fun for kiddos and reassuring for parents, the Fitbit Ace earned our Editors’ Choice award for kid-friendly smartwatch. Designed for children aged 7 to 11, it comes loaded with engaging activity-focused games, featuring friendly digital mascots to encourage young ones. Regarding safety, the parental controls are quite robust, allowing for location tracking and texting and calling trusted contacts only. If you need a smartwatch for the young techie in your life, look no further.

Google Smartwatch Deals

The Google Pixel Watch 3 is a sleek smartwatch that offers Fitbit fitness tracking technology, alongside an extensive selection of apps and lifestyle features. You can seamlessly connect your smartphone, play music, control your smart home, respond to emails and texts, use AI to answer your phone, and more. In terms of health and fitness, you’ll find everything from steps and sleep to cardio readiness and nutrition. Not to mention, it features a multitude of advanced sensors, including an ECG, a multipath optical heart-rate sensor, skin temperature, and SpO2. Per our review, it’s “one of the best Android smartwatches” and earned a rating of “Excellent.” And right now, it’s on sale.
