More smartwatch deals we love

If none of the smartwatch deals above excite you, check out the other amazing offers that we’ve come across. There’s something for everyone, ranging from cheaper previous-generation models to premium wearable devices, so at least one of these bargains should catch your eye. Once that happens, you’re going to have to proceed with the transaction as soon as possible because we’re not sure how much time is remaining on these discounts.

How we chose the best smartwatch deals

There are a lot of smartwatches on the market, and while that can make finding a smartwatch deals pretty easy, it can make narrowing the best smartwatch deals down a little more difficult. Top brands like Garmin, Apple, Google, and Samsung pretty much always have numerous smartwatch models discounted across retailers. Big brands like these are, of course, the most popular among shoppers, so we make a point of including at least one model from each of these in our selections for the best smartwatch deals.

Smartwatches, really, are some of the most discounted pieces of tech you can find out there. Those top brands mentioned above generally keep older generations of their smartwatches on the market alongside their new releases, and that opens up all sorts of room for smartwatch deals. Smartwatches such as the Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 8, Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, and numerous Fitbit models are at least a generation old and the perfect candidates to see some major discounts. They’re also regulars among the best smartwatch deals.

And while pricing and availability are the two most important factors when we choose the best smartwatch deals, style is something we consider as well. Some people are looking for a smartwatch to look good, while others are in the market for something to help with their fitness routine. Brands recognize this and tailor certain smartwatch models to each. When we make our selections for the best smartwatch deals we try to keep a nice balance between the two and provide a number of discounted smartwatches for different tastes.

Pebble’s new smart ring helps you capture ideas, not fitness stats
The Index 01 aims to redefine what a smart ring should do.

Pebble's comeback story just took an unexpected turn. After launching two new smartwatches earlier this year, the company today announced a new wearable that challenges what a smart ring is supposed to be. Unlike Samsung's Galaxy Ring or smart rings from Oura, the Pebble Index 01 isn't built for health and fitness tracking. Instead, its sole purpose is to help users capture ideas or remember things.

The Index 01 is essentially a device designed to make voice notes effortless. It's a stainless steel ring with a side button and a built-in microphone that lets users quickly record ideas, set reminders, start a timer, or create a calendar event. It features onboard memory to save recordings, which automatically sync with Pebble's companion app when it's connected to a phone.

Next-Gen Meta MR glasses slipped to 2027 as company refines hardware vision
Meta Glasses

Bad news for anyone waiting on Meta’s answer to the Apple Vision Pro. The company has officially hit the brakes on its next-gen mixed reality glasses - code-named Phoenix - delaying the launch from late 2026 to the first half of 2027.

Internal memos are floating around describing Phoenix as Meta's most direct rival to Apple’s headset yet. But it looks like leadership at Reality Labs decided they needed more time to get it right rather than rushing a buggy product out the door.
