We’re officially in the final stretch of Amazon Prime Day, and if you’ve been sitting on your hands waiting for prices to drop, this is your sign to stop hesitating. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the chaos of sale season, refreshing pages and wondering whether a better discount is just around the corner. But after days of tracking deals and testing products for WIRED, I’m here to tell you that some of the best wearable deals of the year are live right now. Every product in this list has been tested and vetted by WIRED reviewers, so you’re not just chasing a low price; you’re getting something that actually works well. I updated this list on October 7 with new discounts from Google Fitbit, Amazfit, Garmin, and Samsung, and I also refreshed prices and removed anything that was no longer on sale. The wearable category is always one of the busiest during Prime Day, and this year is no exception. Whether you’re looking for a flagship smartwatch, a simple fitness tracker, or something budget-friendly that won’t fall apart, there’s something here worth your attention. And if you’re wondering whether you should wait until Black Friday, my honest advice is: don’t. Some of these prices are the lowest we’ve seen so far, and Prime Day will be over before you know it.
Let’s start with Apple, because I know that’s what a lot of you are here for. The newest Apple Watch is already discounted, which honestly surprised me. Apple’s latest watch, the Series 12, is about $50 off right now. That might not sound like a jaw-dropping amount, but it’s the lowest price I’ve seen on this model so far, and I don’t expect the deal to stick around for long. Apple rarely puts its newest hardware on sale this quickly, so if you’ve been waiting for the latest model, this is probably the sign you’re looking for. I won’t guarantee that we’ll see similar discounts around Black Friday, but it’s possible. Still, if you want the newest Apple Watch, there’s no reason to gamble on a future sale when you can save money today. On the other end of the spectrum, the Apple Watch SE 3 is down to $199, which makes it an even easier sell. The SE 3 was already the most affordable Apple Watch, and at this price, it’s a fantastic deal for anyone who wants the core Apple Watch experience without paying flagship money. It has practically everything the average iPhone user needs from a smartwatch and fitness tracker, including activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, notifications, and all the usual apps. It’s the previous generation, and Apple didn’t update the SE this year, so you’ll miss out on newer features like Audio Intelligence. But if you’re not an elite athlete or someone who routinely disappears off the grid, the SE 3 gives you almost everything you’d want, and it’s a tough deal to beat at this price.
Now let’s talk about fitness trackers, because Google Fitbit has some killer discounts right now. The Google Fitbit Charge 6 is one of my favorite entry-level fitness trackers, and it’s on sale for $90. For a limited time, that’s a relatively low-cost way to test-drive the health-tracking lifestyle before deciding whether you want to splurge on a more premium smartwatch later. From a functionality standpoint, the Charge 6 has everything you’d want in a dedicated tracker: heart rate tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, skin temperature sensing, and more. It’s comfortable, easy to use, and gives you a clear picture of your daily activity and recovery. If you want to go even cheaper, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is discounted to $70. It’s pretty similar to the Charge 6 in terms of core health tracking, but it lacks built-in GPS and NFC technology, so you won’t be able to leave your phone at home for outdoor runs or tap to pay with your wrist. It also only offers 20 exercise modes compared to the Charge 6’s 40. For most people, especially beginners, the Inspire 3 is more than enough. But if you want a tracker that can do a bit more without crossing into smartwatch territory, the Charge 6 at $90 is a steal. And if you’re an Android user looking for a full smartwatch, the latest Google Pixel Watch is finally on sale with a $65 discount. Google released it this past summer, and it’s been one of my top recommendations for Android users ever since. It’s also a great fitness and sleep tracker, and it’s the second Pixel Watch designed to be repairable, which means you can keep it going for the long haul instead of replacing it every couple of years.
Samsung fans also have some great options in this year’s Prime Day sale. After testing the latest Galaxy Watch models, I can tell you that Samsung’s previous generation still has plenty of life left in it, and the discounts make them even more appealing. The Galaxy Watch8 is down to $209, which is a $91 discount from its original price and, for a limited time, $171 less than its successor. If you want to spend even less, the Watch7 is just $159, which is a $91 discount and a full $221 less than the newest Watch9. Those are significant savings, especially if you’re not the type of person who needs every single new health metric the moment it comes out. Yes, you’ll miss out on the newest bells and whistles like Antioxidant Index and Heart Health Score, but you’ll still get a durable, well-built smartwatch that handles notifications, workouts, sleep tracking, and daily wear beautifully. Samsung’s watches are known for their solid construction and bright displays, and these older models still look and feel premium. Unless you absolutely need the most intricate health tracking available, I’d honestly say save your money and grab one of these deals. You’ll get a great smartwatch without having to justify spending flagship prices, and you can put the extra cash toward a new band or charger. It’s one of those rare situations where the “older” model is still more than capable, and the discount makes it an even smarter buy.
For those of you who want a smartwatch without spending much money at all, the CMF Watch 3 Pro is now just $59. That’s cheaper than some drop-in fitness classes these days, which is kind of wild when you think about what it actually offers. Don’t let the low price fool you; this little watch is packed with features. It has wrist-based controls, a built-in microphone for voice calls, and a voice assistant, so you can stay connected without pulling out your phone. It also comes with a comprehensive suite of health and fitness metrics, including heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and more. One of the standout features is dual-band GPS, which gives you more accurate route tracking when you’re out for a run or walk. And on top of all that, it’s got personality. The retro-futuristic aesthetic is a nice change of pace from the sea of gray and black smartwatches out there. You can tell the designers had fun with it, and it shows. If you’ve been hesitating because you don’t want to sink hundreds of dollars into a wearable, this is the perfect entry point. It gives you the taste of what it’s like to have a smartwatch on your wrist, and if you decide you want more premium features later, you can upgrade then. But honestly, at $59, this is one of those deals where you don’t have much to lose and a lot to gain.
I’ll be updating this list with the latest Prime Day wearable deals as they come in, so be sure to check back regularly. There are also more discounts in other categories, including Amazon’s fitness gear and the overall best Prime Day deals, so if you don’t find what you’re looking for here, those roundups are worth a browse. The truth is, Prime Day is a marathon, but it’s also a sprint. The best deals don’t last, and the products I’ve highlighted here are ones I’ve actually tested and would recommend to friends and family. Whether you’re upgrading an old smartwatch, buying your first fitness tracker, or grabbing a budget model to see what all the fuss is about, there’s never been a better time to make a decision. You could keep waiting for a better price, but at some point, you have to trust that the deal in front of you is good enough. And in this case, many of these are the lowest prices we’ve seen so far. So if something catches your eye, don’t overthink it. Add it to your cart, check out, and enjoy the new gadget on your wrist. And if you want to stay on top of all the best deals, including the ones that might pop up in the final hours, power up with unlimited access to WIRED. You’ll get best-in-class reporting and exclusive subscriber content that’s too important to ignore. Happy shopping, and may your Prime Day end with a new favorite wearable.
