Investing in a smartwatch or fitness tracker is a great way to stay on top of your personal health and fitness goals, whether you want to be more active, improve your athletic performance, sleep better, or simply stop being late.
There are a lot of fitness trackers and smartwatches on the market, and they all offer a slightly different set of features, capabilities, and design (and different price points, too). The good news is that there are all sorts of models on sale this month, including some of our favorite picks for both iOS and Android users.
We've rounded up the best smartwatch and fitness tracker deals available now and found discounted wearable tech to meet just about any and every set of needs and preferences.
Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS)
$429.00 Save $64.84
For iPhone users, the Apple Watch Series 9 is the best smartwatch, but even more so when it's $70 off. Compared to previous models, it has a faster processor, brighter display, and some new features, like the handy double-tap gesture. Plus, it's more eco-friendly with a completely carbon-neutral production process. As for its capabilities, it can do just about everything you'd want: record workouts and daily steps, measure health metrics like ECG and sleep, answer calls and texts, stream music and podcasts, access apps, set alarms, and more.
If you want an Apple Watch that offers the same level of technical performance but is a bit more rugged and durable, then check out the Apple Watch Ultra 2 .

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (Bluetooth)
$299.99 Save $60.00
Based on our review, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is the clear top choice for Android users in need of a high-performing, compatible smartwatch — and it's $50 off right now. Not only does it deliver in terms of performance with advanced health sensors and tons of digital apps and features, but it's also aesthetically stunning. The touch bevel design gives it a sleek look while the AMOLED display creates a vividly bright and colorful watch face (which can be set to always-on, by the way).

Apple Watch SE
Apple Watch SE (2022)
$249.00 Save $50.00
Coming in just under $200, the latest Apple Watch SE that we reviewed hits the sweet spot in terms of balancing performance with price. It's marketed as the "budget-friendly" model in the Apple Watch line-up, but still boasts many of the same core features, including fall detection, irregular heart rate and rhythm notifications, and pretty much the same access to apps and connectivity features. Basically, if you can forgo an always-on display and some of the more specialized health metrics, like body temperature and ECG, then the Apple Watch SE offers the most bang for your buck, especially on sale.
Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid
Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Smartwatch
$229.00 Save $45.80
Per our review, the Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid isn't your typical smartwatch. While it can track your fitness, play music, and show notifications, it doesn't have a traditional smartwatch touchscreen display. Instead, you'll find a monochromatic always-on display with physical hands that looks much more reminiscent of an old-school, classic watch face.

Which smartwatch is the best and most affordable?
Our choice for the best affordable Android smartwatch is the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE. We gave an Editors' Choice award to this model in our review, saying that it does just about everything you'd expect from wearables that cost hundreds of dollars more. With exceptional biometric features including heart rate and sleep tracking as well as exercise monitoring, as well as a robust app selection, it's a jack-of-all-trades smartwatch that you can usually snag for around $150.
Which is the cheapest smartwatch brand?
Most of the major smartwatch manufacturers have at least one budget model in their lineup — even the fancy folks at Apple have the Apple Watch SE. Overall, the company with the lowest prices across the board is Google, with both their Google Watch and Fitbit-branded wearables coming in reliably under $200. Additional sales can bring those prices down even further, but for a reliable smartwatch from a trusted brand, Google is the way to go.
What's the best budget smartwatch for kids with GPS?
If you're looking to keep tabs on kids and teens, a smartwatch with GPS functionality is a great choice. Google's Fitbit Ace LTE is an Android-powered wearable that packs all the tools you'd expect along with calling and texting without a paired smartphone, customizable avatars, exclusive games and more. We also recommend the Verizon GizmoWatch 2, an Editors' Choice-winning smartwatch with fitness tracking and parental controls.
Which smartwatch is the best and most affordable for the elderly?
Different generations have their own relationships with technology, and if you're shopping for a smartwatch for an older relative, you'll want something that's easy to use, has a bright, big screen, and features tools that help them navigate their lives safely. Our top pick is the Medical Guardian MGMove watch, which combines a medical alert bracelet with a suite of useful apps, including step tracking, caregiver connection, and a physical SOS button in case of emergencies. It does require a monthly subscription, but the price is reasonable.
