If you want to track your runs and workouts more effectively, and you don’t mind going for potentially older tech, Best Buy has the offer for you. Right now you can buy the Garmin Fenix 7X smartwatch with a $250 discount, so it’s down to $650 from $900. This is likely happening because the Garmin Fenix 8 is rumored to launch later this month, but if you don’t mind being a step behind, you’ll still be delighted with this one. You’ll need to be quick to grab one of the best smartwatch deals as it’s only available for today and tomorrow, ending September 7. Here’s what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Garmin Fenix 7X

If you’re serious about achieving your running, hiking, or even swimming goals, you need one of the best Garmin watches. While the Garmin Fenix 7X isn’t on that list, it’s still highly respected. In the past, we’ve reviewed the Garmin Fenix 6S Pro and the Garmin Fenix 5X Plus and the response is the same every time — Garmin Fenix watches are great.

With the sizeable Garmin Fenix 7X, you get a long-running solar powered Multisport GPS watch. It has an always-on 1.4-inch display which uses the sun’s energy to extend its battery life. There’s even a built-in LED flashlight for helping you see after dark.

It offers 24/7 health and wellbeing monitoring with wrist-based heart rate readings. It also tracks your stress levels and provides enhanced sleep monitoring so you always know how your body is performing.

It also has built-in sensors for the 3-axis compass and a barometric altimeter. It also comes with preloaded TopoActive maps with maps for thousands of golf courses and ski resorts worldwide. On a simpler level, it also provides all your phone notifications to your wrist and offers music storage and Garmin Pay support.

The Garmin Fenix 8 has been announced in a bid to take on the might of the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but we’re confident that the Garmin Fenix 7X will remain a great choice nonetheless. It may lack some finer performance features and quite as good battery life (although there’s still up to 28 days while indoors or 37 days when outside), but the Garmin Fenix 7X will still delight many at a great price.

Normally $900, the Garmin Fenix 7X is $250 off at Best Buy for the next two days, so you can buy one for $650. The deal ends September 7 though. This is an awesome discount on a high-end smartwatch.

Apple going circular could make the Watch better at being a watch
Apple may be thinking beyond the square, but a round Apple Watch could bring both serious style points and some tricky software compromises.
Apple Watch Smart fashion shot on hand wearing

For more than a decade, the Apple Watch has looked like a tiny computer strapped to the wrist. But what if Apple made it look like an actual watch instead? Recent reports suggest that Apple is considering round displays for future Apple Watch models, alongside other design ideas as the company rethinks its wearable lineup. Nothing has been finalized, but the possibility raises a fascinating question: would a circular Apple Watch actually be better, or would Apple be fixing something that isn't broken? I think the answer depends on what Apple wants the Watch to be.

A circle could finally make the Apple Watch feel like a watch

Apple might finally bring the ceramic Apple Watch back, and I’ve been waiting for it
The best-looking Apple Watch material is reportedly making its comeback.

Apple quietly killed the ceramic Apple Watch in 2020, and for the fans of the fancy material, it has been an inexplicable absence ever since. For those catching up, ceramic was the lineup’s most premium material option. 

It was smooth to touch, scratch-resistant, and had that distinct non-metallic appearance, a characteristic of all titanium and aluminum frames. Now, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is actively planning its return.

Apple already sells some very expensive smartwatches, but it may be preparing to push the ceiling even higher. According to Bloomberg’s latest Power On newsletter, the company is considering new premium Apple Watch models that would sit beyond the current Ultra and Hermès variants.

That could get expensive very quickly. The most expensive current-generation model Apple sells is the Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 3 at $1,399. Even without the Hermès branding, the standard Apple Watch Ultra 3 starts at $799.
