The Fitbit Charge 6 builds off the successes of the Fitbit Charge 5, offering the same trusted battery life and access to even more of Google’s premium fitness features.

Fossil Gen 6
Lowest Price Ever!
$179 $319 Save $140
If you decide to move outside the Samsung and Google offerings, the prices do get cheaper, but you’ll almost certainly have to make some concessions. The Fossil Gen 6 is one of the better options thanks to its sturdy build quality and sharp OLED display, and right now it’s available at a fantastic discount.

Google Pixel Watch
Lowest price ever!
An incredible deal!
$200 $350 Save $150
For a more premium design, we like the Google Pixel Watch. It’s not as refined as the Samsung models, given that it’s Google’s first entry into the space, but there is a lot to like here such as exclusive Wear OS apps, striking hardware and software design, and built-in Fitbit health tracking. It’s a generation old now, with the release of the Pixel Watch 2, but finding it on good sale — around $200 would make it a stea!

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is undoubtedly one of the best Android watches available, particularly if you’re already within the Samsung ecosystem.

Mobvoi TicWatch E3
Get $60 off with an on-page coupon
$140 $200 Save $60
Mobvoi’s TicWatch series offers another fine alternative to the more popular brands, and we really like the E3 as an affordable entry point option. It has a snappy processor, can last two full days on a charge—even with the always-on display, and is eligible for the Wear OS 3 beta. It typically retails for $200, but right now you can take $60 off by clipping the on-page Amazon coupon before adding it to your cart.

Fitbit Luxe
$100 $130 Save $30
The Fitbit Luxe is much better for tracking stats during workouts than as a replacement for a smartwatch. Its super-tiny screen can help you out by showing notifications from a connected Android or iOS device. Plus, don’t forget all those awesome fitness tracking features. You can snag one now for $30 off at Best Buy.

Samsung Galaxy Watch deals
This year, if you want to get a Samsung Galaxy Watch for a good deal, you’re likely going to want to look at the Galaxy Watch 5 series. Word of warning, though, stock of the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro has been a little spotty as of late, so if you spot a deal leading up to Black Friday, don’t be afraid to jump on it. We’ve seen Black Friday deals go out of stock before the event even started in the past.
Right now, Samsung is offering a great deal on the Galaxy Watch 5 — it’s under $200. It’s not the best price we’ve seen on the device ever. It’s gone to $180 before, but considering the fact that it’s a watch that will be getting phased out, stock could be limited this holiday.
The newer Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic both did go on small discounts for Prime in October this year, so we can probably expect a $30-ish sale on those models as well — not groundbreaking, but a nice advantage if you want to go with the newest models.
Google Pixel Watch deals: Good time to snag last year’s model
The Google Pixel Watch 2 just launched in early October, so we don’t really expect much of a discount this Black Friday, although Google could surprise us. It’s definitely possible that we could see some bundle deals from retailers and carriers that include the Google Pixel Watch 2 — just like we saw at the launch. But, the fact remains, that the original Google Pixel Watch will be the one that will likely dip to a reasonable price point this Black Friday. We saw it drop as low as $209 during Amazon’s last deals event, so keep an eye out for it to potentially go lower while you’re cooking your turkey.
Black Friday Fitbit deals: A wide variety of models
Fitbit was noticeably stingy this past Amazon Prime Day, and most of its models offer only small discounts that amounted to a big nothing burger. We’re hoping that Black Friday plans to correct all that, especially for some of its older models. There seems to be a good start on that front, you can snag the Fitbit Luxe for $30 off even right now, but the real test will come in the coming weeks.
The Fitbit Charge 6 is the newest fitness tracker that’s likely the best for most people, and it’s a great deal right now. You can get it from Amazon and Best Buy for only $100 — the lowest price yet! Plus the Fitbit Sense 2, Fitbit Versa 4, and Fitbit Luxe are all at least 30% off leading up to Black Friday.
You can even snag the kid-friendly Fitbit Ace 3 for only $49! It’s the best way to get your child tracking their steps and activity.
Other WearOS deals
While we know that the stability and reliability of Samsung and Google can make the other more generic brands of Wear OS watches look a little less desirable, we actually love Mobovoi TicWatch and Fossil watches for people who don’t mind something a little outside the popular brands.
Should you wait for Cyber Monday to buy a smartwatch or fitness tracker?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday being back-to-back can sometimes cause some anxious shopping. What if the smartwatch you want goes down in price on Cyber Monday after buying it a few days earlier? Well, it can happen; we usually haven’t seen discounts get too much lower once the big sales event hits. What we have seen happen, though, is a good deal selling out fast.
Our best suggestion is when you see a smartwatch or fitness tracker you want on a Black Friday deal, it’s much better to grab it while you can rather lose out on it than lose out on it completely, waiting around for a better price that may never come.
Do you need an Amazon Prime membership for Black Friday deals?
If you want to shop at Amazon this Black Friday/ Cyber Monday, having a Prime membership is a good idea. Yes, other retailers will be having deals, and some of those deals may be better. However, Amazon will still have some subscriber-only deals that could prove to be absolute steals! Plus, if you don’t want to pay for the subscription, the good news is you can sign up for a 30-day free trial and cancel once Black Friday and Cyber Monday is over!

Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime has long since evolved from the days when it merely offered free two-day shipping and a burgeoning library of original shows. Prime now includes a music service, one of the most robust TV show and movie streaming services on the market, unique deals for its members — including Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
