Best smartwatch deals during Amazon Prime Day 2024
Whatever your budget or needs, you can find some great deals on the most popular smartwatches during the Amazon Prime Day sale that's going on right now. There's no time to waste, as these deals won't be available for too much longer.
Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS only, Sport Band): $280 (30% off)
No two ways about it: This is the most popular smartwatch in the world. It's designed to work in conjunction with an Apple iPhone, but if you invest in the GPS + cellular version of the watch, it can work autonomously, too. This means that even without your phone nearby, you can use the watch to do things like make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, stream music and consult with Siri.
One of the things people love about Apple Watch is that it's so customizable. It comes in two casing sizes -- 41mm or 45mm. You can also choose between an aluminum or stainless steel casing. And there are hundreds of watch band options for the Apple Watch, beyond the several dozen colors and styles offered by Apple directly.
Apple Watch is designed to do it all -- help you communicate, stream music, stay up to date on the news, serve as a fitness tracker and health monitoring device, help you stay productiveBut , call for help in an emergency, play games, display your favorite photos and so much more.
During Prime Day 2024, Amazon is offering generous discounts on various configurations of the Apple Watch Series 9, including the 41mm, GPS only version that comes with an Apple Sport Band that's been discounted by 25%, so you'll pay just $300 for it.
To learn all about the mega-popular Apple Watch Series 9, check out our full review of the smartwatch, as well as our roundup of the top nine things we love about this smartwatch.
Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (40mm, GPS only, Sport band): $170 (32% off)
Perfect for an iPhone user who's never tried using a smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen is the perfect "starter" watch -- and it's extremely inexpensive, too. In fact, right now, you'll find several configurations of the Apple Watch SE on sale for at least 24% off, including this 40mm, GPS only model that comes with an Apple Sports Band. It's currently priced at just $189.
The Apple Watch SE is a scaled-down version of the Apple Watch Series 9. But it still offers all of the most popular features people love about Apple's smartwatch lineup. We highly recommend the GPS + cellular version of this watch for kids (instead of giving them a smartphone) or to help monitor an elderly adult. Without the wearer needing their own iPhone, a parent or caregiver can track the watch's location, plus communicate with the wearer via phone calls or text messages.
The Apple Watch SE GPS/cellular version also works autonomously when taking advantage of its safety features, including fall detection, Emergency SOS and crash detection.
This version of the Apple Watch runs the same version of the WatchOS operating system and comes with the same collection of preinstalled apps as all other current Apple Watch models. And there's a vast selection of apps, watch faces and watch bands available.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular, 49mm, Alpine Loop): $700 (12% off)
Apple Watch Ultra 2 is currently Apple's most powerful and versatile smartwatch. It's designed primarily for outdoor adventurers and features a more rugged design and longer battery life than the Apple Watch Series 9. However, just about anyone can take advantage of its more advanced features.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers a brighter, always-on display. It's casing is made from incredibly durable titanium and the special watch bands available for it are equally durable. In addition to more precise GPS navigation, the watch has a built-in emergency siren, plus a slew of other health-, fitness- and safety-related features.
The watch includes advanced metrics and views in the Workout app, including Heart Rate Zones, custom workouts and cycling workout views. Meanwhile, precision dual-frequency GPS provides incredible accuracy for calculating distance, pace and route maps. The Compass app delivers helpful views and details like elevation, incline, longitude and latitude.
Mark your location with Compass Waypoints and then be able to backtrack using GPS to map where you've been so you can retrace your steps. Apple Watch Ultra 2 is also made for recreational water sports, scuba, and free diving for descents to 40 meters.
The Depth app shows the time, current depth, water temperature, duration under water and maximum depth you've reached, while the Oceanic+ app puts a dive computer on your wrist. And that's just a sampling of what the now discounted Apple Watch Ultra 2 is capable of.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm, Bluetooth only): $160 (47% off)
Just as the Apple Watch is the ideal companion for Apple iPhone users, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is perfect for Samsung Galaxy or Android smartphone users. The watch runs Google's WearOS operating system, so it's fully compatible with many Android apps running on your phone. This watch is also a powerful communications, productivity, health/fitness, entertainment and safety tool that's worn around your wrist.
As you'd expect, Galaxy Watch 6 is chock full of internal sensors that monitor everything from your movement and sleep patterns, to your heart rate, activities, exercises and more. The watch comes in a handful of casing colors and has a wide selection of bands available for it. The watch faces are customizable and optional apps can be downloaded from the app store.
Plus, when the watch is close to your phone, you handle calls and text via the watch. Right now, most configurations of the Galaxy Watch 6 are on sale during Amazon Prime Day 2024, with pricing starting as low as $160.
Google Pixel Watch 2: $270 (23% off)
If you're an Android user, you probably know that the Android operating system was designed by Google, and that many of the features built into the Android OS play well with Google apps and services. The same is true with Google's WearOS smartwatch operating system.
So, it makes sense that if you want a smartwatch designed by that same company, the Google Pixel Watch 2 is the way to go.
And since Google now owns Fitbit, all of the health and fitness tools that come in Fitbit trackers are incorporated into the Google Pixel Watch 2. It too is a powerful and versatile communications, productivity, entertainment, health/fitness and safety tool that takes the form of a wristwatch. (It also does a nice job telling time, by the way.)
During Amazon Prime Day 2024, you'll find attractive discounts offered on many of the Google Pixel Watch 2's configurations. The watch comes in eight color options, each with a matching band. You also get up to a 24-hour battery life and a bright, always-on display.
Google Pixel Watch: $200 (39% off)
While the Google Pixel Watch is a slightly older version, compared to the Pixel Watch 2, but both models run the latest version of the WatchOS operating system, come with the same collection of preinstalled apps and have a vast selection of optional apps available from Google's app store.
This configuration of the Pixel Watch includes GPS and cellular LTE capabilities, so on its own, it can make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, stream music, provide access to Google Assistant and more -- even when your Android phone isn't nearby. (A nominal monthly charge, usually around $10 per month, from your phone's cellular company will apply.)
The watch comes in a variety of stylish casing and band colors. During Amazon Prime Day 2024, most of the Google Pixel Watch configurations are on sale, with pricing starting at just $200.
Amazfit GTR 3 Pro: $151
Yes, you have options beyond Apple, Samsung and Google -- smartwatches from lesser known companies and that work with both an iPhone or Android phone.
The Amazfit GTR 3 Pro is a feature-packed smartwatch with an AMOLED display and that has cellular and Bluetooth capabilities. Built into the watch are more than 150 sports and fitness modes, along with sensors that monitor heart rate, SpO2 levels, location, elevation, breathing patterns, stress level, sleep patterns and more. And you get all this for around $150 -- which is less than what Apple charges for some of its Apple Watch bands.
Other notable features include an extended battery life (up to 12 days) and the ability to store up to 470 songs locally, so you can listen to music without your phone or an internet connection.
