Black Friday smartwatch deals have come to an end, however fear not - there are still some great deals live in the US and UK. We're seeing plenty of great discounts on Apple Watches, Samsung Galaxy Watches, Google Pixel Watches, and loads more, but these deals will be running out as the week goes on. 

The Black Friday deals event is always a great way to get discounts on the tech you want, and smartwatches are no exception, proving very popular every year. A holiday shopping report from Adobe identified smartwatches as one of the most popular types of products bought on Cyber Monday last year.

Black Friday will fell on Friday November 24 this year, but the deals period began in October this year and has only got busier since then. We're unlikely to get more deals at this point, but we have seen a few further price drops.

If you're looking to buy a smartwatch outright rather than on contract, the best Apple Watches, best Android watches from Samsung and Google, and even workout-specific devices like the best Garmin watches all get their prices cut significantly over the deals period. Below, you can find all the information you need: from the best places to buy to the best deals right now.

As usual on Black Friday, we can expect big discounts on older smartwatches like Apple Watch Series 7 and 8, Garmin Forerunner 255, the original Google Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. We weren't expecting newer watches to be discounted, but this year's Apple Watch Series 9 is being discounted by up to $100 in the US and £70 in the UK. 

Of course, you can also expect to see some price cuts on new watches, but there's nothing wrong with picking up older stuff, as you can get perfectly good technology that fulfills all your needs, whether you're a marathon runner or you're just after a watch to track your steps.
