You don’t need to wait until Black Friday to score some sweet, sweet savings on five of my favorite smartwatches — which are also top picks in our best smartwatch buying guide — including the just-released Apple Watch Series 10, the easy-wearing Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and tough-built Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. 

The best deal is on the Galaxy Watch 7 in 40mm. Normally priced at $299, Amazon has Samsung's smartwatch for just $231 — presumably, though, for only a limited time. Plus, the already aggressively-priced Apple Watch SE is reduced $50 via Best Buy, temporarily bringing the barrier to Apple Watch entry down to only $199. Find info on these deals and others below.

Garmin Forerunner 55: was $199 now $169

Garmin Forerunner 55: was $199 now $169
The Forerunner 55 is Garmin's entry-level running and fitness watch and also the best affordable Garmin watch available today. This is thanks to rock-solid GPS tracking, lots of useful workout training tools borrowed from higher-end models, a comfortable and sporty design, exceptional battery life and an easy-to-read screen. 

Apple Watch SE (2022): was $249 now $199

Apple Watch SE (2022): was $249 now $199
The Apple Watch SE is already a smoking deal at its normal price of $249 but slash 20% off that and you've got a fire deal. This bargain is on the more diminutive 40mm model (in gold on a lovely green Sports Loop strap) which is perfect for folks with smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a more modest screen size. Like the Apple Watch 10 and Ultra 2, the SE inherits all the latest watchOS 11 features like on-wrist translations, Apple's check in safety feature and more. 

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: was $299 now $231

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: was $299 now $231
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 may well be my favorite smartwatch for wellness tracking thanks to its impressive suite of AI-back health insights and metrics. These include details on sleep quality, workout recovery, fitness training and more. It's also a thin, lightweight and easy-wearing smartwatch in a handsome yet understated package. 

Apple Watch Series 10: was $399 now $379

Apple Watch Series 10: was $399 now $379
The Apple Watch Series 10 is only a few months old but you can already save $20 off its sticker price. This deal is on the smaller 42mm model and you can either grab one in silver with a blue sports loop (my preference) or in a black case on a black rubber strap.  Apple's latest release, the Series 10 boasts an ultra-thin case, easier-to-view display and loads of useful holistic and smart features. 

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra: was $649 now $599

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra: was $649 now $599
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was released this summer and is the toughest-built and longest-lasting Android smartwatch currently on the market. Sort of like Samsung's take on an Apple Watch Ultra, it boasts better water resistance and durability than the Galaxy Watch 7 along with an extra customizable quick button on the case. Like the Watch 7, the Ultra boasts impressive fitness and wellness insights.
