Here are the 21 best Black Friday smartwatch deals – save up to 54% on Garmin, Apple Watch, and more

Save a massive $450 in this early Black Friday deal on the 47mm Garmin Epix Pro Sapphire edition. With an updated Elevate V5 heart rate sensor, multi-band GPS, and an LED flashlight, it's the blueprint for a modern Garmin watch: fast, accurate, and built like a tank. It's got 32GB storage for music and GPX maps.

Record-low price: This $50 price drop takes one of the latest Apple Watch models down to its lowest price ever. This deal is the best around right now, but since it's a new product, we don't know how long this saving will be available for – so it's best to take that into account. You should also note that this deal is only available for the 40mm Midnight aluminum case with Midnight sport band.

Record-low price: If you don't have the budget to splurge on the Pixel Watch 4, its predecessor is just as good for accurate activity and workout tracking, and it's already familiar to you if you're already familiar with the Fitbit ecosystem. Because of the recent launch of the Pixel Watch 4, this model has started seeing generous price drops ahead of Black Friday, making this the lowest price we've ever seen.

$250 off the five-star Garmin Fenix 8. Given we usually see big discounts on older models, this unusual discount means you can get a terrific up-to-date adventure watch for less. Huge battery life, advanced strength training features in addition to all the adventuring stuff, an LED flashlight... It's packed with features.

The larger 51mm version has also been reduced by $250, from $1,199 to $949 at Best Buy.

Record-low price: Never before has the Apple Watch Ultra 2 been this low. If you were to ask us, we'd suggest thinking about adding this to your basket soon, as we don't know whether this deal will stick around.

Record-low price: While the Fitbit Charge 6 has its fair share of price drops, it's not every day you see it hit a record-low price. Its pricing history suggests this Black Friday deal will be available throughout Amazon's sale event, but we don't know whether it will sell out before Black Friday itself.

The brand-new Garmin Instinct 3 is $100 off at Best Buy right now in all sizes. The AMOLED screen, new to the Instinct series, glows brightly on dark trails, as does its LED torch. Together with a smorgasbord of features and rugged construction, it's a watch built for the outdoors. We gave it 4.5 stars in our review.

Save $50 (12%) in this early Black Friday deal on the brand new Apple Watch Series 11. The thinnest Apple Watch yet, with a wraparound LTP3 OLED display, it's a great-looking watch with Apple Intelligence-powered smarts and a boosted battery compared to previous Apple Watches, clocking in at 24 hours of average use.

42mm GPS & Cellular model: was $499 now $449

This Black Friday deal has matched last year's offer. It's only hit a record-low price once, which was earlier this year, so looking at the pricing history, it's unlikely the Versa 4 will receive another reduction. Still, $80 is a huge saving for a comfy mid-range fitness tracker with a lengthy battery life.

Garmin's lifestyle-focused Apple Watch alternative for active people, the Garmin Venu 3S, is a smaller watch designed to look at home in the office as well as in gyms or on roads. With up to 10 days of battery life and an onboard speaker and microphone for calls, it strikes the perfect blend of fitness tracker and smartwatch.

Save a cool 22% ($100) on the Google Pixel Watch 4 (41mm) LTE. Not only does it have on-device Gemini, Google Maps, Fitbit workout smarts (including a new AI health coach), sleep tracking, and a speaker/microphone for taking calls, but it's also able to be added to a phone's data plan to call, message, and stream away from your phone.

Google Pixel Watch 4 (45mm) LTE: was $499, now $399

Save an impressive £220 on the Garmin Fenix 8, which we called in our review "rugged, expensive perfection". It's packing exceptional features, accurate metrics, and is great for running, hiking, cycling, climbing, swimming... all forms of adventuring. No wonder it earned five stars in our review. It's reportedly 'selling fast' according to Very, so don't miss out!

Record-low price: While the SE 3 hasn't been discounted in the UK, the next best budget Apple Watch is the SE 2, which is now cheaper than it was last Black Friday. It offers the full Apple Watch experience with great mid-tier fitness features and lengthy battery life, so you don't have to splurge on an advanced model if you don't need to.

Record-low price: This is a very generous discount and a lowest-ever price. As it stands, this Black Friday deal is a better offer than last year's, so we don't know if Amazon will surprise us by taking this deal away before Black Friday officially arrives. Get it while it's hot!

A better-than-half-price deal on the Garmin Epix Pro Sapphire in its 47mm size and Whitestone colorway. This was the size I used to run the London Marathon, and I found it perfect as a man of average build. Its advanced running features were instrumental in helping me cross the line.

Record-low price: A small big significant discount, you can save £30 on the price of a brand new Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the Alpine loop, with its boosted 42-hour battery life and emergency satellite messaging feature. The cheapest it's likely to get this year.

A better-than-half-price deal on an older Garmin Venu 2 smartwatch. The Venu 4 is out now with updated features, but at this price, the Venu 2 is a great buy for active people looking for an alternative to an Apple Watch, perhaps something with longer battery life (11 days!). It's packing the Garmin Pay virtual wallet feature, and stores up to 650 songs.

Last year's smaller 41mm-sized Google Pixel Watch 3 is getting a huge 43% discount, from £349 down to under £200. A huge saving on a terrific watch packed with features.

LTE version: was £449 now £249

Record-low price: In the UK, you can score an Apple Watch Ultra 2 upgrade while saving a decent £50. Over the past 6 months its price has been dropping ever so slowly, but this deal marks the lowest price we've seen for this listing.

Save an outstanding 43% on Garmin's pocket-rocket Vivoactive 5 smartwatch. If the Garmin Venu series is its Apple Watch alternative, the Vivoactive 5 is its Fitbit: a fun fitness tracker with great metrics, battery life and a price that doesn't break the bank, especially at this price.

Record-low price: The Fitbit Inspire 3 receives frequent price drops so this doesn't come as a huge surprise to us, but who could pass on a saving over 30%? It had a similar price drop in last year's Amazon Black Friday sale, so while we're not expecting another reduction it's still a great offer on a beginner-friendly fitness tracker.
