Once smartwatches have been around for a few months you often find discounts on them, but it’s during the big shopping events like Amazon Prime Day when you’ll likely find them at their best prices. That’s true of the latest Apple Watch Series 8, and even more true of previous generation models like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 or the Garmin Fenix 6.
Whatever kind of smartwatch you’re looking for – whether it’s the Wear OS, a fitness-focused Garmin or an Apple Watch – there will be discounts to be had across the Prime Day event this year. We’ll be updating this page with the best offers as we find them.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm)
The Galaxy Watch 5 is one of the best Wear OS watches on the market, delivering all the latest software features, plus Samsung’s fitness tracking expertise. It’s a great watch and it doesn’t cost a huge sum like some others. It’s all-round great value.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 makes a couple of tweaks to the design of the Watch 4 to give better protection, while offering a bigger battery and a couple of new features. It delivers a comprehensive offering and remains one of the top choices of wearables for pairing with an Android phone.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (45mm)
With the Watch 5 Pro, Samsung delivered all to top features, a great display, feature-rich software and great hardware performance in a package with much better battery life than the smaller, regular Galaxy Watch 5. If it’s within your budget, it’s a fantastic option.

$379.99 $449.99 Save $70
The top of the line Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro offers great battery life, build quality and a rich feature list. From a features and performance standpoint, this is the best WearOS watch we’ve seen on the market for some time. In fact, it could be the best ever. If you want that ‘proper’ smartwatch experience and don’t want to charge every single night, or miss out on features, this is the one.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (40mm)
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch delivers – we think – the most comprehensive feature set for Android users. It runs the new version of Wear OS, has Samsung’s Health platform onboard, the ability to install third-party apps, respond to notifications, make payments and listen to music.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
$169 $199.99 Save $30.99
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 might not be the latest smartwatch in the company’s portfolio but it remains an excellent performer, and one that runs on the new Wear OS platform. With the Galaxy 5 having succeeded it, you should get this model at a decent price.
Fossil Gen 6
If you want Wear OS features in an attractive package, from a respected watchmaker, you can’t go wrong with the Fossil Gen 6. Its fitness tracking abilities aren’t amazing, but it does all the other smart things well. You can respond to notifications/messages, make Google Pay payments and customise watch faces. It’s also really affordable at the moment.

Fossil delivers an excellent option for those craving a basic and clean smartwatch experience.
Apple Watch Series 8
It’s not a hefty discount, but we’ll take any price drops on new Apple products. The latest Apple Watch Series 8 has a big, vibrant display, really accurate fitness and health tracking and lots of third-party apps to load onto. It’s also the first to include a temperature sensor, which is really useful during menstrual cycle tracking. Simply put, it’s the best smartwatch for iPhone users.

Apple Watch Series 8
$329 $399 Save $70
It’s got a great design, heaps of sensors, and more features than you’ll probably know what to do with. While its battery life isn’t the best on the smartwatch market, fast charging makes charging it daily a little less painful.
Garmin Instinct Solar
The Instinct Solar is one of those watches that’s perfect for those craving the old-school digital stopwatch design and feel, but with really advanced fitness features. You can track all kinds of activity, with reliable GPS, heart-rate and motion data, but all in a watch with a simple black-and-white display and plastic, rugged charm. Plus, with Solar battery refilling, it can go for weeks and weeks on a full charge (when it’s sunny).

The Instinct Solar is a great watch for those who want that classic digital feel, but with all the modern tech for fitness and health tracking.
What to consider when buying a smartwatch
The first and most obvious thing to consider is which smartphone platform you need it to be compatible with. If – for instance – you’re using an Android phone, you can’t buy an Apple Watch. Likewise, some of the modern Wear OS watches from Samsung and the Pixel Watch don’t support iPhone. Brands like Huawei, Garmin and Fitbit are multi-platform and support both iPhone and Android.
Another key thing to consider is what you imagine using it for. For instance, if you need detailed analysis and data from your outdoor running, cycling and hiking sessions, you’ll probably want a Garmin or Huawei watch. If you just want everyday fitness and health tracking with lots of lifestyle features like contactless payment, music streaming and interactive notifications then Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch are your best bet.
Design and durability are also key concerns. If you’re outdoors a lot, and need something to withstand extreme environments, you’ll want something that’s not only waterproof to high levels, but also extremely impact resistant and rugged. Of course, if you’re mostly just wearing it to the office, in relatively casual settings, you probably don’t want a big, rugged machine.
Then there’s battery life. If your lifestyle means you’re going to be away from a charger for more than a day, or you just don’t want to have to charge your watch every night, then don’t buy the Apple Watch, Pixel Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch. You’ll want something from Garmin or Huawei again.
