Amazon is about to close the books on this year’s Prime Day deals extravaganza, and since this sale attracts a horde of shoppers in search of Black Friday-level discounts, it’s no surprise to see other retailers getting in on the action too. Walmart’s Prime Day sale, dubbed the “Deals for Days” event, is one such blowout, and one of the hottest bargains on offer right now is this deep $80 price cut on the superb Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. If you’ve been looking to join the smartwatch revolution and want a classically styled piece that’s as smart as it looks, keep reading.

Despite the early hype surrounding the concept of “a smartphone for your wrist,” most people were understandably skeptical of smartwatches when they first came onto the scene. That changed with the Apple Watch, which not only became the most popular smartwatch in existence but made Apple one of the largest watchmakers in the world almost overnight. It was a good while, however, before Android users got anything comparable to Apple’s offering, and not for lack of companies trying (and failing) to match that success.

It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that Samsung, as the king of the Android smartphone world, would be the one to finally crack that nut with its line of Galaxy smartwatches. In fact, in our Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 review, our team all but declared that this is the Apple Watch for non-iPhone users owing to its sleek design, sturdy build quality, great set of features, always-on display, and generous battery life. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 (as its name suggests) is marketed as a fitness wearable, and while it packs an excellent suite of health- and activity-tracking functions, its classically inspired 40mm case and a great selection of apps also make it a superb all-around smartwatch that you can wear all day.

It’s priced pretty reasonably, too — quite a bit cheaper than the flagship Apple Watch Series 6 — with a sticker cost of $279. But for the Walmart Deals for Days sale, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 can be yours for just $199, saving you 80 bucks. That’s a pretty sweet bargain and one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen for what might be our favorite flagship smart wearable that’s not an Apple Watch (and one that’s much more affordable).

Are you looking for hot Fitbit deals for yourself or maybe as gifts for others? Well, pay attention because Amazon's two-day Prime Early Access Sale is almost over, it's the last day, which means all those amazing Prime Day Fitbit deals will be gone soon. Amazon calls it an "early access" sale because it gives you an extra-early start at shopping for the holidays well before the annual Black Friday extravaganza. Similar to Prime Day deals, we've seen tons of deep discounts on Amazon-owned brand products such as Echo, Ring, and Blink smart home devices, Kindles, Fire TVs, and Eero mesh Wi-Fi devices. Smartwatches and activity trackers are popular holiday gifts, and Amazon is offering some of the best prices of the year on new Fitbits as well as previous models of the popular wrist wearables.

Amazon isn't the only one having all of the fun though. Other retailers have joined in, as is to be expected, like Walmart's October Rollbacks event, which is basically just a Walmart Prime Day sale in disguise. Nevertheless, Amazon has some of the best offers! We've gathered up the best Prime Day Fitbit deals for you below!
