Labor Day weekend is over, but the deals aren’t over yet. You can still snag great deals on popular smartwatches, whether it’s an entry-level Apple Watch or a rugged Garmin for the outdoors. Here are my tips for upgrading your wristwatch without breaking the bank—just hurry before the deals are gone.
Apple Watch Deals
The Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) continues to be a crowd favorite , and for good reason. Amazon is offering an 8% discount on it for Labor Day, saving you $20 on this feature-packed budget option. With health tracking, crash detection, and seamless integration with iPhone, the SE offers a number of essential Apple Watch features at a more affordable price.
For those looking to upgrade to the latest model, Walmart is offering a hefty $70 discount on the Apple Watch Series 10. From the thinner case to the improved display, there are plenty of reasons for even the most casual smartwatch user to upgrade.
Garmin Fitness Solutions
For my fellow runners, the Garmin Forerunner 55 is worth checking out, marked down $30.99 from its regular price of $199.99 (white only). If you’re looking to join the Garmin ecosystem, this is a great budget option. You’ll get all the essential features of a GPS running watch, like detailed workout data, long battery life, and Garmin’s proven accuracy for tracking distance and pace.
The premium Garmin fenix 7X Sapphire Solar watch is the most significantly discounted of all the deals at $350. This rugged outdoor watch combines solar-powered charging technology, advanced mapping, multi-sport tracking, and military-grade durability to withstand any expedition.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Series
With the latest Galaxy Watch 8 only a few months old, now is a good time to take a look at last year’s undeniably successful model. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 40mm has been reduced from $249.99 to $179.99. If you want a larger watch face, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 44mm is now $189.99.
These Galaxy Watch 7 models feature Galaxy AI technology that can calculate an “energy score,” get health tips, suggest replies to notifications, and detect sleep apnea. For more on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, check out PCMag’s “Excellent” review .
Pixel Watch by Google
Google’s newest smartwatch, the Google Pixel Watch 3 , joins the pack with a 17% discount, coming in at just $249.99. This new Pixel Watch improves on previous Pixel models by offering a brighter screen and two screen sizes — 41mm and 45mm — that are now on sale. It’s a solid choice for Android users, and its built-in running features make it a great running watch.
