Credit: Apple, Samsung, Google, Amazon Table of Contents Amazon's October Prime Day sale won't officially be here until next week, but we're already seeing early deals on smartwatches. Here are some of the best deals I've found so far. I'm including traditional smartwatches like those from Apple, Google, and Samsung, and will also be looking for fitness-focused watches like Garmins. Read on to see what I've found, and stay tuned because I'll be updating this list throughout the sale. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is $200 offIt's hard to beat an Apple Watch as a combination smartwatch and fitness tracker. You can read more about how they hold their own against Fitbits and Oura rings, or see which are our favorite models for 2026. So far, only a few models are on sale: The Apple Watch Series 11 with cellular is $379.97 (down from $499.99). This is the 2025 model. Or if you're looking for an Ultra, try the Apple Watch Ultra 3 for $699.97 (down from $899.99). The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is $100 offSamsung's Galaxy Watches tend to be strong in fitness features and are a great companion to a Samsung phone. I'm seeing the 2024 Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, 40 mm, Bluetooth only, for $185.00 (down from $249.99). But what's even better is the deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, LTE, 46 mm, $449.95 (down from $549.99). The Pixel Watch 4 is $120 offPixels are another brand of smartwatch that has done well in my testing. The Pixel Watch 4, last year's model, is on sale for $329.95, down from its original price of $449.99. This is the 41 millimeter size, with cellular LTE capabilities. This is the watch that impressed me with its ultra-fast charging, and it just got some new health features, including reports that estimate your insulin resistance.
