Digital Trends

The Prime Day deals have come and gone, but a few stubborn ones are sticking around. Whether you’re on the hunt for Prime Day TV deals, Prime Day tablet deals, or Prime Day headphone deals, there are things on sale in every category — and smartwatches are no different. We’ve found the best Prime Day deals on your favorite smartwatches, from Garmin Prime Day deals and Fitbit Prime Day deals to those awesome Apple Prime Day deals on the Apple Watch. Plus, since “Prime Day” is an Amazon thing but there is no barrier to other retailers having their own sales, we’re playing the field. The following represents the best Prime Day smartwatch deals across the internet. We’ll keep updating them, even after the event has ended.

The best Prime Day smartwatch deal, picked by our experts

Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) — $170, was $249

When the original Apple Watch SE came out, it was a huge deal because it was one of the few budget-oriented products that Apple made. While the Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen is a bit more pricey, it does have a nice set of features, such as solid fitness tracking and a newer and better processor that gives you a smoother experience. That said, it doesn’t have an ECG or a blood oxygen tracker, which isn’t a dealbreaker at all, with the bigger issue being the slower battery charging. Even so, it does have a two-day battery, and given all the other features, it’s a perfect option for those who want an Apple Watch without paying an arm and a leg for it.

Is Prime Day a good time to buy a smartwatch?

Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, for which you’ll have to wait for several months, Prime Day is one of the best times to buy a smartwatch. That’s because the potential for savings is through the roof, not just from Amazon but also from rival sellers such as Walmart and Best Buy. Some manufacturers such as Samsung have also slashed the prices of wearable devices if you want to make a direct purchase.

How to choose a smartwatch on Prime Day 2024

With all of the brands and models to choose from when buying a smartwatch, you may find it tough to select the wearable device to buy from Prime Day smartwatch deals. If you need recommendations, we recommend checking out our list of the best smartwatches, which is headlined by the Apple Watch Series 9 that’s our top pick for iPhone owners and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 that’s our favorite option for Android phone owners. You shouldn’t feel limited to these two though, as all of the wearable devices in the roundup are excellent targets to purchase for Prime Day.

If you want to narrow down the Prime Day smartwatch deals yourself, your decision will begin by choosing whether you should get an Apple Watch or an Android-powered smartwatch, depending if you’re planning to pair the wearable device to an iPhone or an Android phone. You’ll also have to decide if you want a basic smartwatch that simply connects to your smartphone for displaying notifications, or a premium smartwatch with top-of-the-line technology such as comprehensive health monitoring. If fitness tracking features are important to you, you should check what data the smartwatch that you’re looking to purchase can collect, and if you’re always going on outdoor adventures, a rugged design for durability may be a necessity for you.

Last but not least, choosing a smartwatch for Prime Day will depend on the budget that you’ve set aside for it. Fortunately, with the discounts of the shopping holiday, your money will go a long way. Cheap smartwatches will become even more affordable, and premium smartwatches will be sold for lower prices than usual. You’ll be able to afford smartwatches that you previously couldn’t but only if you’re able to complete your purchase while the Prime Day smartwatch deals are still online, so you have to hurry!

Cyberpunk 2077 running on the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.

Update 09/27/24: This marks the beginning of our coverage of this Prime Day event with Best Buy. Best Buy is currently doing a "Member Deal Days" sale through Sunday, to grab some attention *before* Amazon's event begins. Many of the deals in this update, as a result, may be gone before the next update of the article.

With Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event starting officially on October 8 and 9, Best Buy has a chance to head up the sales and get attention. The game is on, so to speak. If you're here early enough (before Sunday September 29), you can take advantage of Best Buy's if you're a Best Buy Plus or Total member. Those same members have a chance to get a $50 bonus reward whenever they spend $500 or more between now and October 20. So no matter what you want, including stuff like Dell Prime Big Deal Day deals, you might very well be best to check out Best Buy's sale if you're a member there. Here, we're finding the best deals in the categories that matter the most to you, to keep your comparison shopping at a minimum. As you look, however, remember that many of the deals will end Sunday, so don't hesitate too long before you snap up a deal you want.

Best Buy’s Big Deal Days TV Sale: TVs from $220
LG C4 OLED

Update 09/27/24: This marks the beginning of our coverage of this year's event. Currently, Best Buy is in 'Member Deals Days' mode (through Sunday, September 29) so we know that some of the deals we cover today are going away *very* soon. As the rival events — Amazon's and Best Buy's — progress, we're excited to see who shapes up as the best deal provider overall.

We have another Amazon October sale — Amazon's Big Deal Days sales event — and you can start getting items now. We're covering the entirety of Best Buy's Big Deal Days competitor sale elsewhere (we discuss their TVs, but also laptops and other gear) but here it is all about TVs. While you can also check out the best Big Deal Days TV deals, one exciting part of looking at TVs at Best Buy is that Best Buy Plus and Total members also get a $50 bonus when they spend $50 or more... all the way through the 20th of October. That means that that deals both before and after Amazon's event (officially on October 8 and 9) are going to be special at Best Buy.
