Amazon cuts prices on Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 3 smartwatches

In the market for a new Apple Watch? The Apple Watch Series 4 is a little more affordable — the 40mm Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4 is down to $450 on Amazon if you use the Amazon coupon.

Smartwatches are getting increasingly popular, but the Apple Watch is still really the best smartwatch out there. It’s well designed, ultra-powerful, and offers a ton of great fitness-tracking features, including the ability to take electrocardiograms on the Apple Watch Series 4. Even the Apple Watch Series 3 is a great smartwatch, offering most of the same great fitness tracking features as the Series 4, along with a similar design and sleek build.

The Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4 isn’t the only Apple Watch getting discounted. The larger 44mm Apple Watch Series 4 is also being cut. Usually, the device comes in at $530 — but on Amazon, you can get it for $505— which isn’t a bad price at all.

If you’re willing to do away with the EKG sensor, then perhaps the Apple Watch Series 3 is better for you, considering the fact that it’s a little cheaper than the Apple Watch Series 4. Thankfully, it has gotten some pretty sweet discounts, too. For starters, the 38mm Apple Watch Series 3, with the white sports band and GPS (no cellular), is available for $200, which is a seriously good price. The device usually comes at $280, so the new price represents a pretty impressive $80 off. Alternatively, you could get the larger 42mm GPS Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4 with a black sports band, which is available for $230 — or $80 off the usual price of $310.

Of course, there are good reasons to buy the Series 4 instead of the Series 3, EKG sensor aside. The Apple Watch Series 4 changes the design of the Apple Watch a little, giving the device an edge-to-edge display and slightly more rounded corners. In our review of the Apple Watch Series 4, we noted that that device was beautifully designed, offered awesome features, and more. In fact, the only real downside to the device is that it has a relatively short battery life, but the battery is still more than good enough to get you through a day of normal use.

5 smartwatches you should buy instead of the Google Pixel Watch 2
The main workout screen on the Google Pixel Watch 2.

It's no secret that we weren't fans of the first Google Pixel Watch. However, Google heard all the criticism of its smartwatch debut and made amends, coming back with the Google Pixel Watch 2. Its second attempt was much better, adding strong performance, exceptional comfort, and a solid battery life to the fitness tracking of Fitbit. While it still has some issues, it's now a product we can recommend buying.

But just because it's now good doesn't mean there aren't alternatives to be had. There are a number of smartwatches that are better suited for those looking for a longer battery life, a focus on fitness, or a simpler experience. Some are just flat-out better. If you're considering buying a Google smartwatch, you need to know about these five smartwatches you should buy instead of the Google Pixel Watch 2.

I keep forgetting about the Apple Watch Series 9’s coolest feature
Apps on the Apple Watch Series 9's screen.

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.

This one Apple Fitness feature completely changed how I exercise
Someone holding an iPhone with the Apple Fitness app open, showing the Custom Plans feature.

I have a confession to make: I'm not good at sticking to a workout routine. I love running, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, etc. In the moment of those exercises and in the post-workout euphoria, I feel amazing. But when it comes to waking up early in the morning to do these things before work? Well, that's where I really struggle.

This has been a problem for a while now. I go to bed with the goal of waking up early and going to the gym, but as I groggily open my eyes to snooze the alarm on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I end up falling back asleep. And I've been repeating this over and over and over again.
