Labor Day brought a wide array of sales on smartwatches, and those sales continue this week on a wide variety of smartwatches from Fossil, Garmin, and even Kate Spade. With current Amazon sales, you can save up to 41% off retail on select styles for a limited time.
While there are some excellent deals to be had on Apple Watches this week, we only recommend those watches if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem. The Apple Watch can’t pair with an Android phone, so if you own one — you’ll need to look elsewhere. What should you choose instead? Here’s a closer look at this week’s best deals.
Garmin VivoActive 3 Music — $219 (22% off)
The music-centric Garmin VivoActive 3
This data collected helps calculate your “fitness age.” In theory, this could help you judge how beneficial your exercise is, helping you feel younger and live longer as a result of better fitness. It’s currently $219 on Amazon.
Fossil Gen 4 Women’s — $177 (36% off)
Fossil’s smartwatches have long set the standard in the category for stylish design, and the Gen 4 Sport women’s smartwatch
Despite the smaller size than the VivoActive 3, it still can fit a 1.2-inch touchscreen on a smaller watch face thanks to much smaller bezels. While the screen is bright, it doesn’t perform as well as the VivoActive line in sunnier conditions. But a speedy Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 6GB of internal storage more than make up for its shortfalls. It’s currently on sale for just $177.
Garmin Forerunner 35 — $100 (41% off)
The Garmin Forerunner 35
Don’t worry about compatibility. The Forerunner works with both iOS and Android, so those iPhone users looking for a cheaper smartwatch than the Apple Watch don’t have to look any further. Pairing it with your phone allows you to enable music controls and smart notifications for calls, text, and select app notifications.
Kate Spade Scallop 2 — $221 (24% off)
Scallop 2 smartwatch
Kate Spade’s
The Scallop 2 runs on Wear OS just like the Fossil Gen 4 Sport but it looks far better on the wrist, arguably a better choice for those wanting to wear the watch in professional settings. It is a tad larger than the Gen 4 Sport, but not too much. We would recommend the Gen 4 Sport over the Scallop 2 for those looking for better activity-tracking features, though.
