Smartwatches have become a necessity not only for people who want to lead an active lifestyle, but also for those who want to keep an eye on their health at all times. Modern smartwatches and smart bands have evolved from being fitness-centric devices to overall health and well-being-focused accessories. They come with a number of useful and life-saving features like 24 x 7 heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, blood oxygen monitor, and even fall detection. Haven’t we heard enough stories about how the Apple Watch has saved the lives of people in need of help.
If you are looking for a smartwatch to get from any of the top brands, this is a perfect time. Most smartwatches from Apple, Fitbit, and Garmin are on sale right now, with Fitbit watches getting the maximum discount.
So let’s take a look at the Best Smartwatch Deals for Black Friday 2021.
Best Apple Watch Deals for Black Friday 2021
Apple Watch 7 Series Deals
The Apple Watch 7 series is the latest smartwatch lineup from the Cupertino giant. So there aren’t any huge discounts on offer on these watches.
The Apple Watch 7 GPS 41mm model is down to $389 from the usual $400 price tag. The GPS + Cellular model gets a slightly better discount at $479 (usually $500).
If you are looking for the 45mm model, the GPS model gets a $10 discount ($419) right now) but the GPS+ Cellular hasn’t got any big discounts right now.
Apple Watch SE Deals
The Apple Watch SE is the model to get right now, with both 41mm and 44mm sizes getting a solid $60 OFF from its retail prices! Unfortunately, the GPS+ Cellular models haven’t got any good discounts right now.
You might be tempted to get the Series 3 for $220 but honestly, getting the SE instead makes a lot more sense right now.
Best Fitbit Watch Deals for Black Friday 2021
Fitbit is known for its wide range of smartwatches and fitness bands and like we mentioned above, most of its products are heavily discounted this week.
Fitbit Sense
The Fitbit Sense is the brand’s most feature-packed smartwatch, and it comes with practically every health-centric feature you could wish for. This includes features like Stress Management with EDA sensor, Heart Rhythm assessment with ECG app, Skin temperature tracking, Blood Oxygen SpO2 monitoring, and notifications for abnormal heart rate not usually found on cheaper watches. This is in addition to the usual health centric features like sleep tracking, step tracking etc.
Usually retailing for $300, the Fitbit Sense is down to its lowest ever price of $199 right now. If you were looking for a smartwatch that could do it all without spending too much on something like an Apple Watch, this is the watch to get.
Fitbit Versa 3
The Fitbit Versa 3 is the slightly watered down version of the Fitbit Sense. But for most consumers, the Versa 3 packs enough features making it a really good value for money. This watch lacks a couple of premium features like stress management, skin temperature, and heart rhythm assessment, but in return offers a slightly better battery life and a cheaper price tag.
You can get the Fitbit Versa 3 for just $179.99, down from the usual $229 price tag. I know, this brings it closer to the Fitbit Sense, so most of you might consider the Sense a better value at its current $199 price.
Honestly, right now, the Sense is a better buy than the Versa 3. But if you really want something cheaper, why not get the Versa 2 which is down to just $119, the lowest price we’ve seen for this smartwatch yet. It lacks fast charging but at this discounted price, you can’t go wrong with the Versa 2.
Fitbit Charge 5
If you don’t fancy a large smartwatch on your wrist, then the Charge 5 is an excellent option. This smartband comes with a touchscreen color display with all the essential health-centric features like blood oxygen SpO2 tracking, skin temperature and heart rate variability tracking, built-in GPS to track running pace and distance, along with 6-months of Fitbit Premium membership too.
Usually retailing for $179, the Fitbit Charge 5 is down to just $129.99 right now. Being a fitness band, it features a better battery life than the Versa and Sense watches.
Fitbit Luxe
If you want something more basic, you can get the Fitbit Luxe which is down to $99 from the usual $150. While you do get some premium Fitbit features like stress management and 24×7 heart rate monitoring, it lacks GPS and blood oxygen monitoring (said to be rolled out later). But for a smartband it has a very crisp color display and looks good on your wrist.
You can also check out the Fitbit Inspire 2 smartband which is down to $59 (usually $100) or the Fitbit Ace 3 (for kids) which is down to $49 from the usual $80 price tag.
Best Garmin Watch Deals for Black Friday 2021
Garmin Smartwatches have also got pretty decent discounts for Black Friday 2021.
Garmin Fenix 6 Series Deals
Fenix is the brand’s most premium smartwatch lineup, marrying the concept of outdoor watches with a premium design. Usually, Fenix watches are very expensive, but at this week’s Black Friday sale, the Fenix 6 Pro gets a whopping $200 price cut. It’s down to just $449 for a limited time.
Along with the usual fitness tracking features like HR sensor, blood oxygen monitor, exercise tracking, the Fenix 6 Pro brings in outdoor centric features like preloaded topo maps, ski maps for over 2,000 worldwide ski resorts, multiple global navigation satellite system (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) support and built-in sensors for 3-axis compass, gyroscope and barometric altimeter.
The biggest difference between the Fenix 6 Pro and the regular 6 and 6S is the presence of music, maps and WiFi, which the standard 6 /6S variant lacks.
Further, the Fenix 6S is down to just $342 and the Fenix 6 is down to $400.
Considering the solid price cut on the 6 Pro, it’s actually not a bad idea to shell out a few more bucks and get the premium Fenix 6 Pro right now instead of the 6.
Garmin Forerunner 245
Garmin’s popular smartwatch Forerunner 245 for running is down to just $209, which makes it a steal at this price. This is more than $100 OFF from its usual selling price of $320!
This is the ideal smartwatch for runners with advanced running centric analytics like cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation to give you a clear view of how your body is performing during your runs.
Garmin Vivoactive 4
Garmin’s Vivoactive series is ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle and need regular health-centric data. And the Vivoactive 4 brings the ability to play music, track your workouts, and monitor regular fitness centric data like respiration, menstrual cycle, stress, sleep, estimated heart, hydration and more.
The watch is currently down to just $199 instead of the usual $250-279 price tag.
Garmin Venu Series Deals
Garmin’s Venu series is often called the direct Apple Watch rival, and most of the models in the lineup are discounted right now.
The Garmin Venu is down to $199 right now from the usual $250 price tag, while the Venu Sq also gets a solid $40 discount and now starts at $129.99. The Venu 2 has also got a $50 price cut, now down to $349.
The Venu 2 is the latest offering in the Venu series, featuring more exercise modes, better menstrual tracking, and a much longer battery life than the older Venu. But naturally, $349 is a pretty high premium to pay for these additional features.
The Venu features a round AMOLED display with Wi-Fi, more outdoor-centric sensors like altimeters, and can even play offline music. For $199, it offers great value for money.
The Venu Sq is a lite version featuring a square LCD display having most fitness-centric features as the Venu but lacks Wi-Fi and altimeter, and you can only control music via your smartphone. Naturally, the Sq also features a longer battery life than the Venu. And at $129, its a solid bargain.
So these were the best smartwatch deals for Black Friday 2021 on Apple, Fitbit, and Garming watches.
