Some of my favorite wearables are on sale, including the latest models and older picks that are hitting their lowest prices yet. Below, I’ve rounded up the Prime Day wearable deals I think are worth considering. Every product below has been tested and vetted by WIRED reviewers.
I will be updating this list with the latest Prime Day wearable deals, so be sure to check back regularly. For more information on Prime Day sales, browse our roundups of the Best Prime Day Fitness Deals and Absolute Best Prime Day Deals.
WIRED’s Featured Deals
Updated October 7: I’ve added new deals from Google Fitbit, Amazfit, Garmin, and Samsung. I also updated prices and removed products no longer on sale.

Frankly, I’m surprised to see Apple’s latest watch discounted this soon, so I don’t anticipate this deal sticking around for long. The Apple Watch Series 12 is about $50 off—that may not sound like much, but it’s the lowest price I’ve seen so far. I bet we’ll see similar discounts around Black Friday, but that’s not a guarantee, so if you want the latest Apple Watch, this sale is a good excuse to add to cart.
Google Fitbits Are Almost Half Off
The Google Fitbit Charge 6 is one of my favorite entry-level fitness trackers. From a functionality standpoint, it has everything you’d want, including heart rate tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, and skin temperature sensing. And at $90 for a limited time, it’s a relatively low-cost way to test-drive the health-tracking lifestyle before deciding whether to splurge on a more premium smartwatch. For an even cheaper Fitbit, the Inspire 3 is discounted to $70. It’s pretty similar to the Charge 6, except that it lacks built-in GPS and NFC technology, and it only features 20 exercise modes (as opposed to 40).
The Latest Google Pixel Watch Is $65 Off

Google released its latest Pixel Watch this past summer, and it’s finally on sale. It’s WIRED’s favorite smartwatch for Android users, and it also makes for an excellent fitness and sleep tracker. It’s the second Pixel Watch designed to be repairable, which means you can keep it going for the long haul.
Save on the Best Value Apple Watch
The Apple Watch SE 3 is already the most affordable Apple Watch, and at $199, it’s an even easier sell. It has practically everything the average iPhone user needs from a smartwatch and fitness tracker, granted you’re not an elite athlete or routinely disappearing off the grid. Note that this is the previous-generation model, and Apple didn’t update the SE this year, so you’ll miss out on newer features like Audio Intelligence. Still, with all the features available in the SE 3, it’s a tough deal to beat.
Save Up to $221 on a Samsung Galaxy Watch
After testing the latest Galaxy Watch, I’m here to tell you that Samsung’s previous models still have plenty of life left in them. The 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 $91 off its original price and $221 less than the Watch9. You’ll miss out on the newest health metrics, like Antioxidant Index and Heart Health Score, but you’ll still get a durable, well-built smartwatch. Unless you absolutely need the intricate health tracking, save your money and snag one of these deals.
A Smartwatch for Just $59
Our budget smartwatch pick is now just $59, which is cheaper than some drop-in fitness classes these days. Don’t let the price fool you; the CMF Watch 3 Pro is feature-packed, with wrist-based controls, a built-in mic for voice calls, and a voice assistant. It’s also designed with a comprehensive suite of health and fitness metrics, plus dual-band GPS for more accurate route tracking. Plus, it’s got plenty of personality with its retro-futuristic aesthetic.
