Biggest Discount Samsung Galaxy Watch on Black Friday
Smartwatches have grown in popularity, especially with their advanced sensors for tracking your overall health and wellness during a time when this data can inform you of upcoming medical situations. As we approach the holidays and the winter season when many people tend to stay inside and cuddle up, a smartwatch can help motivate and inspire you to stay fit.
Like previous years, we expect these deals to come and go, and will constantly update the listings as availability and new promotions hit the shelves.
Apple Watch SE (GPS, 40mm) for $219
$60 off
What do you use your smartwatch for? Do you use it to track your workout numbers? Connect it to your Bluetooth earbuds to listen to Spotify on the go? Take phone calls and text messages on it? If all of that sounds like you, then the Apple Watch SE is a more than suitable option -- especially if you use an iPhone.
The Apple Watch SE is Apple's "smartwatch for everyone" offering. It doesn't have the flashy wrist bands and big display like the higher-end Series 7 but gets the job done for anyone who wants an iPhone companion that just works. It's also much cheaper than the Series 7 or 6 Apple Watches, currently selling for a Black Friday low of $219 ($60 off).
Polar Vantage V2 for $399.96
$100 off
At 52 grams, the Polar Vantage V2 is a light weight premium GPS sports watch that provides up to 40 hours of GPS tracking and wrist-based heart rate. New features include running performance test, cycling performance test, new test hub on Polar Flow, and leg recovery testing. Features from Grit X, such as FuelWise and Hill Splitter are present on the Vantage V2.
Technology such as Polar Precision Prime heart rate tracking, running power on the wrist, Training Load Pro, Recovery Pro, Nightly Recharge, FitSpark, and Sleep Plus Stages are all packed into this 52 gram sports watch. We also find music controls for music playing on your smartphone and HRV data export. Power-based training plans are available too.
Make sure to take a look at the Polar Cyber Week website where you can find 20% off an many of the watches, accessories, and sensors. If you have been thinking of a Polar product now is the time to buy something. I ordered the Polar H10 heart rate strap with the 20% coupon.

Amazfit T-Rex Pro for $139.99

It's very affordable this holiday season and definitely excels in many areas with integrated GPS, long battery life, lovely high-resolution display, and more.
The Zepp smartphone app, available for both Android and iOS platforms, is extremely powerful and almost overwhelming with the amount of data available for you to view and understand. There is no third-party app support, but for health and wellness tracking everything you need is installed on the watch.
If you are looking for a rugged smartwatch for an affordable price then the T-Rex Pro is a great option. It is priced hundreds less than other high-end outdoor enthusiast watches I have tested in the past, but the materials are also not as premium. That said, the watch is well built and very comfortable for extended wear.

$250 off
While the Garmin Fenix 6 series is one of the best available sports watches, the solar versions take it to the next level with support for charging via available light sources.

The Fenix 6X Pro Solar model, 51mm diameter, is also $250 off with a price of $699.99. This is still a rather high price, but much less than the $949.99 regular price. Solar charging can add three days in smartwatch mode or an extra hour in GPS tracking mode.
Garmin Fenix 6 for $449.99 and $549.99
$200 off
The Garmin Fenix 6 series watches are highly desirable and arguably the best watch from Garmin for the serious athlete. The standard and sapphire models are now $200 off, which is an incredible discount on a watch that will last you for years.

For the price, you're getting a smartwatch with sleep measuring, an always-on display, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, on-screen workout tracking, and even water resistance (up to 50 meters) for the swimmers.
The Fitbit ecosystem is well supported, with many people on the platform to help motivate you toward achieving your daily activity and fitness goals.

We already see Google Maps, Google Pay, Google Keep, and more available on the watch so stay tuned for developments here.
