WHEN IT COMES to tracking key metrics like sleep, calories burned, heart rate, and even pulse oximetry owning a smartwatch is definitely the way to go. These devices have certainly evolved over the years, as they can now be fully optimized for you, your specific body type, and your daily workout routines, offering seamless and dynamic data to help get you in the best shape possible. If performance takes precedence for you and you’ve thus far shied away from smartwatches and fitness trackers, today might be the day you decide to adopt a new policy, as a bunch of our favorite options are on sale on Amazon.
Amazon does this from time to time—they’ll mark down a bunch of brand name, best-selling products without really telling anyone. Fortunately for you folks, we’re here to help. With high-end brands like Garmin, Apple, and Fitbit offering the latest models of smartwatches for up to 38 percent off, we couldn’t, in good faith, keep all of the savings for ourselves.

Why These Are Our Picks
Apple aficionados will love that the second generation Apple Watch SE is currently going for just under $200, a solid 20 percent off its usual listing price. The Apple series 10 is also offering similar savings of just under 20% at $329—still a solid $70 off retail.
We also found plenty of great deals on Garmin fitness devices, the smartwatch of choice for active and adventurous guys. One of our favorites is the Garmin Instinct 2, a rugged, durable fit that’s water-rated up to 100 meters and both shock and thermal resistant. Thanks to the recent release of the Instinct 3, the Instinct 2 is under $200 for the first time in a while, currently listed at $193. For the runners, the Forerunner® 255 is a lightweight option that is the perfect partner for your morning jogs. On the higher end, the fēnix 7 comes stacked with all the technology that Garmin has to offer, and is $300 off.
We’ve tested dozens of Fitbits over the years, and were surprised to see the Versa 4 smartwatch, which we spotlighted in our Best Fitbits story recently. This model features a convenient built-in GPS and workout intensity map and is currently 20 percent off its regular $200 pricetag. Samsung has also made a massive move in the health space, and for any owners of a Samsung or android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has some awesome features and technology. Since the watch first dropped it has become much more affordable, and now is listed on Amazon for $219 even, good for 27 percent savings.
We all know Amazon is fickle as a feather, so here’s another gentle reminder to take advantage of these massive sales before they’re no longer a thing. It’s not every day you’ll find smartwatch deals of this magnitude, so you better act fast. You can worry about that heart rate in about two-to-three business days.
