CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA – SEPTEMBER 09: The new Apple Watch series 10 is displayed during an Apple … [+]
Huge price drops for the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Google Pixel 9 may dominate headlines, but wearable devices—such as the Apple Watch and Oura Ring—will see some of the most significant discounts this Black Friday.
Almost all retailers, and manufacturers, have slashed the prices of major wearable devices weeks ahead of Black Friday. Amazon released the most aggressive smartphone deals I have seen so far last week. It seems to be following the same formula with wearable tech.
These deals will come and go over the next two weeks and it is likely that Amazon is saving its best offers for when the actual Black Friday shopping period kicks off. But there are deals here worth taking a look at today.
- Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS) 46mm – $379, 12% off, down from $429.00.
- Apple Watch SE GPS 40mm – $189, 24% off, down from $249.
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 40mm – $248.56, 17% off, down from $299.99.
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45mm – $99.89, 25% off, down from $134.
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 44mm – $189.99, 42% off, down from $329.99
- Garmin Epix Gen 2 – $499, 45% off, down from $899.99
- Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm – $279.99, 20% off, down from 349.99.
- Oura Ring Gen 3 – $299, 14% off, down from $349.
In typical fashion, Apple hardware receives modest discounts. At the same time, Samsung and Google wearables have much more dramatic price drops. It’s the same with each company’s respective smartphones. Both Google and Samsung have knocked hundreds of dollars off their flagship handsets, while Apple’s phones remain at full price.
You will also notice that there’s still no discount for the Galaxy Ring yet, which will be one of the more sought-after wearable products this Black Friday. Samsung has remained tight-lipped about its Galaxy Ring pricing plans and the device is one of the few, if only, not to be included in any Samsung deals since it launched in the summer.
Amazon has also undercut manufacturers a few times during the holiday shopping season. For example, the Galaxy Watch 7 is still full price ($349.99) at the Samsung store compared to Amazon’s 17% discount. That won’t be the case when Black Friday kicks off in a couple of weeks, but if you’re looking for a deal today this is a good offer.
It’s worth pointing out that Samsung will knock money off its wearable range and offer a decent chunk of change for your old smartwatch. Combined, this will be one of the more aggressive deals available. Right now, the company paying $150 for the Galaxy Watch 3, or $100 for the 2016 Gear 3. As ever, always keep an eye on manufacturer deals.
