Apple may have an edge in the smartwatch market but for those looking to get into tiptop shape, Garmin smartwatches are equitably reliable. While everyone may have already heard about Fitbit fitness trackers, Garmin’s lineup of fitness-focused smartwatches packs a lot of features and suits every budget. Working out and finding the time or motivation to do so could already be unnerving. Now, if you find the price of this double-duty wearable quite alarming, Amazon is running a sale on these Garmin smartwatches by up to 33%.

The Garmin Forerunner 235 is a fitness tracker you would particularly enjoy when you’re well into running. The built-in GPS is well equipped to track distance, pace, and time, while the Elevate Wrist Heart Rate Technology allows 24/7 monitoring or for as long as you have it on. Other features that may come in handy would be having access to the weather, audio prompts, Connect IQ store, as well as VO2 Max Estimate that gauges the breaths you take during the course of a run or any other activity.

The accompanying Garmin Connect App automatically uploads whatever activity was tracked during the day, be it the number of steps you took, the hours of sleep you got, as well as the calories burnt over distance. Though there aren’t any other apps available, syncing your smartwatch to your smartphone via Bluetooth will enable smart notifications such as emails, messages, calls, and the like.

If you missed out on this Prime Day Deal, this is your chance to get this $330 smartwatch for $158 less on Amazon.

With an easy-to-read Garmin Chroma Display housed under Corning Gorilla Glass, the Vivoactive 3 is a durable timepiece that tells more than the time in any type of weather.

Moreover, with the help of the wrist-based heart rate technology, this smartwatch can calculate how your body reacts to either physical or emotional stressors as well as estimate your VO2 max and fitness age. This daily fitness and stress tracking will help you take the edge off and identify which workout is effective for you.

The Standard Garmin Vivoactive 3 normally retails for $250, but Amazon hands it over to you for just $116. That’s $134 in savings for a smartwatch that fits your active lifestyle.

HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses could finally be heading to the US. Apparently, Amazon got the memo before HTC was ready to share it.

Notebookcheck spotted six versions available for preorder at $499, each carrying a September 1 release date. Amazon has since pulled the pages, so new orders are closed and anyone who already placed one is left wondering whether it still counts.

Don’t expect smartwatches and fitness bands with replaceable batteries anytime soon
Turns out even the EU thinks your smartwatch is too small for a battery swap.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part
