Best Prime Day 2020 smartwatch deals: Save $450 on Garmin Fenix 5S Plus, more from Samsung, Apple Watch and Fitbit – CNET

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET’s guide on everything you need to know and how to make sure you get the best deal.

The final day of Amazon Prime Day is here and runs until 11:59 p.m. PT tonight. Rivals of the retail giant, including Best BuyTarget and Walmart, also have some big sales this week. Wearables from tech’s biggest brands Apple and Samsung are included.

Today’s deals on Amazon include slashed prices on wearables such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3Fitbit trackers and Garmin running watches. Although there are tons of great deals to choose from, what you won’t see deep discounts on is the Apple Watch: We’re only seeing price drops between $15 and $30 on some models, but those are really just a continuation of “everyday low prices” that have been typical for weeks. 

Keep reading to see the best smartwatch deals we’ve found so far on Amazon. We’ll keep updating this story regularly.

TicWatch

This is the largest discount to date on the vastly improved TicWatch, which magically incorporates both an LCD for long battery life (up to 30 days) and an AMOLED for glorious color when you want it.

Other notable specs include built-in GPS and NFC, full-time heart-rate monitoring, loads of fitness features, sleep-tracking and so on. The watch runs Wear OS by Google.

If you’re looking to upgrade to a touchscreen watch, the Fitbit Versa 2 has much to offer. It has a battery that lasts for days and doubles as a fitness tracker. Originally priced at $180, the Fitbit Versa 2 is down to $128 for Prime Day. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen to date. Just be aware there’s a newer Versa 3 model (although that one isn’t on sale today).

Full disclosure: This is only $15 off — holding a discount that was live before Prime Day — and it’s only on a single color in the lineup. But this is the latest and greatest Apple Watch Series 6, released just last month. We’re only seeing discounts on models with the red and white bands for now.

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Series 3 is your best bet. It’s swim-proof and comes with GPS tracking and a heart-rate sensor. This, too, is the same discount that’s been found on this model for months. But at $169, you’ll save $30 versus what you’d pay at the Apple Store.
