Apple Watch and Fitbit Versa smartwatches get price cuts for Labor Day

By

Though Labor Day weekend is still a few days away, many of the best Labor Day sales have already arrived. Walmart, Dell, Lenovo, and HP have offered up some pretty substantial savings as we head into the holiday weekend. REI has also dropped its own massive sale, offering steep discounts on a variety of Suunto and Garmin smartwatches for the great outdoors. However, if you’re looking specifically for Fitbit and Apple Watch deals, the Amazon Labor Day sale is probably your best bet for savings.

Amazon’s sale is a bit more widespread than many of the smaller retailers. Without a central hub on the site for the best discounts, you really need to know what it is you’re looking going in. When it comes to smartwatch deals, though, there are almost always price cuts to be had. Right now, the retail giant is offering some decent savings on the Apple Watch Series 3 and Fitbit Versa smartwatches.

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) — $150 off

If you’re already a fan of Apple products, there’s really only one smartwatch you should have your eye on — the Apple Watch. While the Series 3 isn’t as powerful as the Series 4, it is still one of the best smartwatches on the market. With activity tracking, optical heart sensor, and the S3 dual-core processor, it certainly doesn’t lack features. The standard Apple Watch Series 3 can connect to your smartphone to give you text, call, and app notifications directly to your wrist. This particular model, however, takes it a step further by connecting directly to the network so you don’t need to be near your phone to access its full suite of features.

Normally priced at $379, the 38mm model is on sale for just $229 right now. This discount does come with a catch, though. This model is currently out of stock until September 29, so you’d have to wait a month before you can slap it on your wrist. Alternatively, you can get the regular GPS version for the same price.

Fitbit Versa — $30 off

While not quite as popular as the Apple Watch, the Versa offers many of the same features at a much lower price point. Activity tracking, smartphone notifications, and 15 different exercise modes make it a lot more fitness-focused than many traditional options on the market. Unlike the Series 3 above, the Fitbit Versa does not come with built-in GPS. However, it does allow you to store and play up to 300 songs directly from your wrist and utilized on-screen workouts.

Normally priced at $200, the Fitbit Versa is down to just $170 on Amazon. You can also pick up the Lite edition for $20 less if you want a stripped-down version.

Like any good sale, Amazon’s smartwatch deals aren’t just limited to these two options. If you’re looking for something a little bit more fashion-forward or rugged, there are plenty of savings to go around. We’ve gathered the best discounts available right now and piled them conveniently below.

  • Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch — $41 off

Two popular iPad models just got pretty steep price cuts — from $250
A YouTube video playing on the iPad (2022).

The current and previous model of the entry-level Apple iPad have both received significant price cuts from Best Buy, so if you're on the hunt for cheap iPad deals, these are the offers that you wouldn't want to miss. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the ninth-generation Apple iPad is down to $250 from $330 for savings of $80, while the Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the 10th-generation Apple iPad is on sale for $349 following a $100 discount on its original price of $449. We're not sure how long stocks will last for these tablets, so if you're interested in taking advantage of either of these offers, you need to hurry with your purchase. If you don't act fast, you may miss out on the savings.
Apple iPad 9th Gen (Wi-Fi, 64GB) -- $250, was $330

The ninth-generation Apple iPad was released in 2021, but it maintains a spot in our list of the best iPads as the best iPad on a budget. It's still a very reliable and solid choice if you want an Apple tablet, with a 10.2-inch Retina display that's bright and beautiful, and smooth performance despite the relatively old A13 Bionic chip that was introduced in the iPhone 11 because it can be upgraded to the latest iPadOS 17. The device also features an 8MP Wide back camera, a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage technology, the Touch ID fingerprint recognition system for security, and battery life of up to 10 hours on a single charge.

Only recently released, you can now buy the Apple Vision Pro at a discount. Over at Woot, the Apple Vision Pro is available for $200 off so it’s down to $3,299 from $3,499. While no one will be impulse buying one of these, it’s a great discount for anyone who has been holding out for a saving.

If you need to know more, take a look below or simply tap the buy button if you know it’s for you.

Why you should buy the Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro reviews may not be perfect but it’s clearly a revolutionary product. Our Apple Vision Pro hands-on experience was pretty great. It has typical Apple ease of use as all you need to do is pull it over your head, turn a dial to tighten its knit headband, and then look at some dots to set up eye-tracking. It takes mere minutes and then you’re all set. Simple to use and surprisingly accurate for such a minimal setup, it’s great to use.

MacBook Air M1 just hit its lowest ever price — Get it for $650
Apple MacBook Air M1 open, on a table.

Apple MacBooks do go on sale every so often, but the discounts and the prices are pretty much the same across the board. That is, until now. Best Buy just unveiled a deal that drops the 2020 MacBook Air M1 model to its lowest price ever -- it's just $650. Normally $1,000, you're saving quite a bit here, about $350, that you could put towards anything else you want, really. It's an excellent opportunity to upgrade to a newer model or grab a new computer you've been wanting for much less. Even though it's not one of the newest models, it still runs great thanks to Apple's software updates and is extra versatile. You can use it for work, play, casual browsing, and much more. Definitely capitalize on this deal if you're interested. It's one of the best we've seen in a long while.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air M1
With the launch of the latest MacBook Air M3, it makes sense that the prices of the older models would come down a little. That's precisely why we're seeing these great deals, but between and , retailers are clearly willing to offer some competitive prices. Who benefits most from that? Well, you, of course, especially if you've been planning to get a new MacBook Air for some time.
