Whether you’re swapping out an old wearable device or are just new to smartwatches, Amazon Prime Day is a great time to get deals on the Apple Watch. The discount extends to all three models in Apple’s current lineup, including the premium Apple Watch Ultra, the flagship Apple Watch Series 8, and the more affordable Apple Watch SE. There are also options from other brands like Samsung and Fitbit on sale. We’ve rounded up some of our recommended fitness trackers that are also getting Prime Day discounts. Here are the best Prime Day deals on Apple watches we could find.
apple watch series 8
The Apple Watch Series 8 is the most recent flagship from the brand and usually retails for $399 for the 41mm GPS model. Prime Day has brought it down to $280, which is the best price we’ve ever seen. The Series 8 is our top pick in our guide to smartwatches because it combines detailed health and fitness tracking with seamless iPhone integration. New features include temperature sensor, ECG and blood oxygen readings, crash detection, and improved sleep metrics. The upcoming watchOS 10 will push usability even further with widgets as well as expanded health, fitness and mindfulness features.
We spent some time with the Apple Watch 8 when it came out late last year and called it “well equipped (and) fully featured”. Apple claims 18 hours of battery life with average use and the Always On Display enabled. The low-power mode (which we found particularly impressive) can last you up to 36 hours. If you want to make calls, receive text messages, and more when you don’t have your phone with you, you may want to get a model with cellular capabilities. Those versions have dropped in price to $380 for both case sizes.
apple watch se
The most affordable smartwatch in the lineup is the Apple Watch SE. Usually $250, with a Prime Day discount making it only $200 for the 40mm size. The 44mm version normally costs $270 but is on sale, down to $230. We called the SE “the best smartwatch under $250 can buy” in our Engadget review. It uses the same processor, is matched by 50 meters of water resistance and looks almost identical to the Apple Watch 8, though the SE lacks dust resistance and an always-on display. It also cannot give blood oxygen, temperature and EKG readings. But if you don’t need those things, you can save money while getting plenty of fitness and health data along with seamless integration with your iPhone.
smart watches from other brands
samsung galaxy watch 5
Of course, Apple Watches only work with iPhones. For those who prefer Android devices, the Galaxy Watch 5 is our top recommendation in our smartwatch guide. Usually $280, it’s currently $160, which is 43 percent off. Samsung’s latest wearables run on Google’s Wear OS and give you sleep coaching and body composition analysis, as well as tons of health data and fitness tracking.
fitbit versa 2
The Fitbit Versa 2 is the budget pick in our smartwatch guide, and it’s down to $124 for Prime Day. Fitbit devices have always been focused on fitness and the Versa 2 tracks and auto-detects different workouts giving you tons of data. But since it’s a smartwatch, it can play Spotify, has Alexa built-in, and brings your phone’s notifications and hundreds of apps to your wrist. It’s also device agnostic, connecting with either iPhones or Android devices.
fitness trackers
fitbit charge 5
The Fitbit Charge 5 is our favorite tracker overall, and it’s currently down to $100, or $50 off its normal price. Fitness trackers aren’t as fully featured as smartwatches, but that usually means they have longer battery life and cost a bit less. We like the Charge 5 for its comprehensive activity tracking and health monitoring that comes in a slim profile with days of battery life. It also connects with both Apple and Android phones.
fitbit inspire 3
Our favorite budget fitness tracker is Fitbit’s Inspire 3, and Prime Day is making it even more affordable with a 20 percent discount, making it just $80 instead of $100. It doesn’t have built-in GPS, but if you bring your phone along, its connected GPS capabilities will give you the same data. It provides monitoring of changes in your heart rate, blood oxygen and skin temperature.
