The best early October Prime Day fitness tracker deals at a glance:
If you’re looking to bring home a new fitness tracker, Prime Day is a great time to shop. Though the official Prime Big Deal Days event doesn’t kick off until Oct. 8, Amazon has already put up tons of deals on items across every department, fitness trackers and smartwatches included.
Now that the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to change, you might be more inclined to start that jogging program you were looking forward to. Or you might decide to get ahead of New Year’s resolutions and start heading to the gym. Whatever you’re planning, there are plenty of smartwatch and fitness tracker deals already available to help you get going — with brands like Apple, Garmin and Samsung running the show. Fitbit deals are currently MIA, but we’re not surprised. The brand typically waits until closer to the official event to join the party, though a couple of Google Pixel deals have popped up already.
We’ll be keeping a running tab below on all the best fitness tracker deals throughout Amazon’s October Prime Day. If you don’t see the wearable you’re looking for on sale yet, check back regularly for the latest updates.
Why we like itCheck out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.
Despite the recent release of the Series 10, the Apple Watch Series 9 is not exactly outdated. You won’t get the slightly larger display and sleep apnea sensor, but you’ll still get the same 2,000-nit max brightness, Double Tap feature, and 18 hours of battery life. Not to mention, you’ll save $100 on the Series 9 because it’s no longer the shiniest new Apple toy. If you’re upgrading from an old Apple Watch or are brand new to the fruit company’s wearables, you won’t be disappointed.

Best Samsung Galaxy Watch deal
Why we like itCheck out our full review of the Galaxy Watch 6.
When a new generation makes its debut, we often see ultra-low prices on the previous one. Such is the case with the Galaxy Watch 6. With the arrival of the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra over the summer, the Watch 6 is now steadily sitting below $200. Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, you can grab the 40mm version with Bluetooth for only $195.30, which is 35% in savings and a new record-low (by about $1). Only a year old, the sixth generation is still a very good smartwatch. It includes a nuanced breakdown of sleep habits, sleep coaching, personalized heart rate zones, irregular heart rate notifications, and a better battery life over its predecessor, which led Mashable’s Alex Perry to dub it “the king of the Android smartwatch mountain.”

Best Garmin deal
Why we like itIdeal for smaller wrists, the Garmin Venu 3S is about .2 inches smaller in diameter and .3 oz lighter than the standard Venu 3. It still offers the same advanced features, like a built-in speaker and microphone to take calls, the ability to store music, and an abundance of health and fitness tools and insights. The only real difference besides the size is that the 3S has a slightly shorter battery life (about 10 days in smartwatch mode versus the 3’s 14 days), but it still blows the Apple Watch battery out of the water. It’s usually $449.99, but you can save $50 ahead of the October Prime event and get it for only $399.99. That’s just a few bucks away from its all-time low.

Best Google deal
Why we like itThe Google Pixel Watch 3 just dropped in Aug., which makes this discount at Amazon ahead of Prime Big Deal Days its biggest one yet. This is the first Pixel Watch to offer a larger size case, which Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon says is “a visual stunner.” Its battery life largely remains the same as its predecessor, but the Pixel Watch 3’s dynamic refresh rate might allow you to squeeze out a little more. It also features a whole lot of software upgrades, including enhanced running features, AI-driven form tracking, a new Morning Brief feature via Fitbit, and updated media controls.

Best smart ring deal
Why we like itCheck out our full review of the Oura Ring 3.
The Oura Ring 4 launches later this month, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing the Oura Ring 3 on sale ahead of Prime Day 2. Regardless of the colorway you choose, you’ll get a discount between 10% and 22% off. For instance, the stealth and brushed titanium models are 22% off, coming in at $349 (down from $449). The gold and rose gold models, on the other end of the price spectrum, are $449 after a 10% discount. The third-generation ring is a low-profile fitness tracker that offers in-depth info about sleep, workouts, recovery, mindfulness, and more through a variety of sensors, though sleep tracking is truly where it shines.
