The Apple Watch Series 10, which was just rolled out last week, is already available with a discount from the Apple Watch deals of Amazon. The wearable device’s GPS, 46mm model was originally priced at $429, but it’s now on sale for $399. The $30 off may not look like much, but it’s a nice bonus, especially if you were already thinking about buying Apple’s latest smartwatch in the first place. We’re not sure how much time is remaining on this offer though, so if you want to enjoy a little bit of savings with our purchase, you better hurry.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10

We gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review of the wearable device, which we described as “another strong entry in the Apple Watch family.” It offers impressive hardware, including a new speaker that will allow you to play music and podcasts on the smartwatch, and faster charging speeds to replenish its all-day battery life. The health and fitness features of the Apple Watch Series 10 is extremely comprehensive, with the new Vitals app providing an easy way of monitoring your body daily. Unfortunately blood oxygen tracking isn’t available in the US, and there’s no definite date on when it will return.

If you’re considering getting the previous-generation model as it’s cheaper, our Apple Watch Series 10 versus Apple Watch Series 9 comparison recommends buying the latest model. The Apple Watch Series 10 has a thinner body and a larger screen, with the wide-angle OLED display and high brightness making it very easy to see what’s on it. The depth gauge and water temperature sensors are cool additions if you’re a snorkeler, and performance is smoother with the S10 processor.

Are you sold on the Apple Watch Series 10? Then you may as well pocket the savings from this unexpected offer from Amazon, which has slashed the price of the smartwatch’s GPS, 46mm model to $399 from $429. New models of any of the brand’s devices don’t usually appear this soon in the Apple deals of any retailer, so we’re not sure what happened here. You shouldn’t complain if you’re interested in taking advantage of this bargain though — push through with the transaction right away so that you can get the Apple Watch Series 10 for cheaper than usual.

Why you should buy an Amazon Fire 7 tablet
The Amazon Fire 7 tablet can definitely be seen as a basic tablet, and that's okay. But that doesn't mean it isn't without its advantages beyond price. Our Amazon Fire 7 tablet review, for example, praises the the 7-inch tablet's portability and its optimization for streaming. We've even listed it as the best budget Kindle alternative for its ability to support "a huge range of e-book formats including Kindle's AZW, AZW3, and KFX, plus EPUB, PDF, TXT, and more."

The Garmin Instinct 2 is over 30% off and Walmart and Amazon have the best price

A render of a Garmin Instinct 2 smartwatch.

You don't have to pay the big prices the Apple Watch Series 10 commands to get a good smartwatch these days. That's because smartwatch deals are bringing excellent discounts to slightly older models. Take the Garmin Instinct 2 as a good example. The "graphite" black version is available at both Amazon and Walmart for around $185. That's a savings of $115 off of the usual $300. Now, if you want to buy from Amazon due to an Amazon Prime membership, you'll have to hurry because (at the time of this writing) there are only 19 in stock. Walmart's not saying how many they have left, but you can guess this items is selling quickly either way. Tap the appropriate button below to see the watch or keep reading to see what the watch has to offer you.

Why you should buy the Garmin Instinct 2
The first thing to know about the Garmin Instinct 2 is that it is built to be lived in. It's got shock resistance, is able to go as far as 100 meters under the water, has a tough polymer case, and the fairly standard scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla glass for its cover. But that's just its body. The Garmin Instinct 2 will also conform to your adventures, with a fully 3D compass that includes an altimeter and GPS, and includes special hunting and fishing modes — like many Garmin smartwatches, the Instinct 2 has a more outdoorsy feel than standard. However, when you're sleeping, the Garmin Instinct 2 will track your sleep health for you and during the day you'll get fitness info in a system not unlike that of the best smartwatches. The battery life of the Garmin Instinct 2 allows for your adventures to last for up to 28 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours in GPS mode.
