If you've been waiting to grab a fitness watch, most major brands, including Fitbit, Garmin, and Apple, are still offering post-Cyber Monday deals. Below, you’ll find some of the best ones I've discovered. (For more details, check out this dedicated post on Garmin watches and this one for Fitbit discounts.)
Fitbits are still discounted
All Fitbit models are currently on sale. The Charge 6, Fitbit's top tracker, is discounted by 38%, now priced at $99.95 (down from $159.95). This model was my top pick for the best minimalist fitness tracker. (You can read more about its features, or check out our review from when it first launched.)
The Inspire 3 is currently on sale for $69.95 (down from $99.95). It's a simplified version of the Charge 6—still capable of tracking heart rate and steps but lacks some of the advanced features. It also relies on your phone's location services instead of having its own GPS.
If you're after a feature-packed smartwatch, there are big discounts on the Versa 4 ($119.99, originally $199.99, 40% off) and the Sense 2 ($179.95, down from $249.95).
If you’re uncertain about sticking with Fitbit for your next smartwatch, I've compared the Pixel Watch 3 and Garmin's Vivoactive 5—and I’ve chosen the Vivoactive 5 as the winner. It’s available for $199 right now.
These Apple Watches are still on sale
Apple offers three distinct models: the Series 10, which is the mid-range option, the Ultra 2, a more premium model, and the SE (2nd gen), which is the simpler choice. All three are on sale now. We’ll start with the Series 10, which our Associate Tech Editor, Michelle Ehrhardt, has called the best Apple Watch for most people. While the prices are $20 higher than yesterday, they’re still significantly lower than the usual retail price.
Series 10 (GPS, 42mm) is now priced at $349, down from $399.
Series 10 (GPS + cellular, 42mm) is available for $449, reduced from $499.
Series 10 (GPS, 46mm) is priced at $379, a drop from the original $429.
Series 10 (GPS + cellular, 46mm) can be purchased for $479, down from $529.
The Apple Watch SE is now available for $189 (down from $249) for the 40mm GPS-only version, or $219 (originally $279) for the 44mm model.
These Garmin watches are still on sale and ready for a great deal.
There are plenty of Garmin watch deals out there, so much so that I’ve compiled a separate post featuring the best ones. A few worth highlighting include:
The Vivoactive 5 is now $189.99 (down from $299.99) - a top pick in Garmin’s lifestyle smartwatch lineup, offering impressive features and over 9 days of battery life. The price has fluctuated between $189.99 and $199.99 recently.
The Forerunner 55 is $149.99 (was $199.99) - a basic running watch but with smart features, sleep tracking, and more.
The Forerunner 165 is priced at $199.99 (down from $249.99) - an upgrade from the 55, featuring a bright AMOLED display and the same running features as higher-end models, at a much lower price.
The Forerunner 265 and 265s (formerly $449.99) still have discounts on certain styles ($385 for pink, $390 for blue), though the biggest $100 off deal is mostly over. This is an excellent runner’s watch (the 265s is my personal pick). You can read more about why I love it here.
The Forerunner 255 (older than the 265 but still solid) is now $299 ($100 off), and the smaller 255S is available for $249 (also $100 off).
The Forerunner 955 (an older model than the 965, which is no longer on sale) is currently priced at $399 ($100 off).
The rugged and solar-powered Instinct 2 Solar is now $299.99 (down from $399.99) - a great choice for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Samsung
The latest model of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is currently available at some of the best prices yet, though limited discounts remain. Right now, the 40mm version is priced at $329, reduced from its regular price of $299.99. Meanwhile, the 44mm model is now $269.99, a drop from the usual $329.99.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE, a more budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Watch 7, is also on sale. Released earlier this year, it offers less storage space, a smaller battery, and a lower price tag. Currently, the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is priced at $126.99 and up, marked down from its original $199.99.
Suunto
While Suunto's outdoor watches aren't as widely recognized as some top competitors, one particular model is still offering a deal that's worth your attention. The Suunto 9 Baro is now $199.90, down from its original price of $299.
Whoop
The Whoop band, a fitness tracker that focuses on performance without the distraction of a screen, is currently available for just $199 with a 12-month subscription that includes the hardware. For more details on this deal, check out my guide here, where I also highlight recommended accessories like extra bands that are also discounted.
Oura ring
Oura has just released its gen 4 ring, though it’s not yet available at a discount. However, the gen 3 ring is on sale this Cyber Monday and offers almost identical functionality. The main difference is the presence of sensor bumps on the inside of the gen 3 (which I find not to be an issue—I've been wearing mine for years). The price has been reduced slightly from its Black Friday deal, and you can get a gen 3 ring now starting at $249 (available in black or silver, in Horizon or Heritage styles). That’s $50 off the regular price and $100 cheaper than the gen 4 version.
