Amazon discounts these Garmin Smartwatches by as much as $158 off

Apple may have an edge in the smartwatch market but for those looking to get into tiptop shape, Garmin smartwatches are equitably reliable. While everyone may have already heard about Fitbit fitness trackers, Garmin’s lineup of fitness-focused smartwatches packs a lot of features and suits every budget. Working out and finding the time or motivation to do so could already be unnerving. Now, if you find the price of this double-duty wearable quite alarming, Amazon is running a sale on these Garmin smartwatches by up to 33%.

The Garmin Forerunner 235 is a fitness tracker you would particularly enjoy when you’re well into running. The built-in GPS is well equipped to track distance, pace, and time, while the Elevate Wrist Heart Rate Technology allows 24/7 monitoring or for as long as you have it on. Other features that may come in handy would be having access to the weather, audio prompts, Connect IQ store, as well as VO2 Max Estimate that gauges the breaths you take during the course of a run or any other activity.

The accompanying Garmin Connect App automatically uploads whatever activity was tracked during the day, be it the number of steps you took, the hours of sleep you got, as well as the calories burnt over distance. Though there aren’t any other apps available, syncing your smartwatch to your smartphone via Bluetooth will enable smart notifications such as emails, messages, calls, and the like.

If you missed out on this Prime Day Deal, this is your chance to get this $330 smartwatch for $158 less on Amazon.

Alongside its capacity to deliver smart notifications, activity tracking, Garmin Connect, GPS, and heart rate monitoring, the Vivoactive 3 is the first wearable to feature Garmin Pay for contactless payments. With an easy-to-read Garmin Chroma Display housed under Corning Gorilla Glass, the Vivoactive 3 is a durable timepiece that tells more than the time in any type of weather.

There are at least 15 preloaded sports apps to give you ideas on how to keep yourself active and the built-in GPS would be sure to give you the key metrics of your chosen workout from running, snowboarding, to swimming. Moreover, with the help of the wrist-based heart rate technology, this smartwatch can calculate how your body reacts to either physical or emotional stressors as well as estimate your VO2 max and fitness age. This daily fitness and stress tracking will help you take the edge off and identify which workout is effective for you.

The Standard Garmin Vivoactive 3 normally retails for $250, but Amazon hands it over to you for just $116. That’s $134 in savings for a smartwatch that fits your active lifestyle.

This Alienware 14-inch gaming laptop is $650 off today
Doom Eternal running on an Alienware x14 R2.

Dell's Alienware is one of the most popular brands of gaming laptops, but its devices don't come cheap. That's why you shouldn't pass up the chance to get one with a discount, such as Dell's $650 discount for the Alienware x14 R2. From this particular configuration's original price of $1,950, it will be yours for $1,300. We're not sure how much time is remaining until the offer expires though, so if you think this is the perfect gaming laptop for you, you should push forward with the purchase right away.

Why you should buy the Alienware x14 R2 gaming laptop
If you want a gaming laptop that can reliably run the best PC games, the Alienware x14 R2 is a fine choice with its 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, and 16GB of RAM. It's not as powerful as the top-of-the-line models of the best gaming laptops so it may have trouble when you choose the highest settings for the more demanding titles, but it's generally capable of meeting the needs of most gamers while providing excellent value for its price.

It's advice that you've probably heard before: Even with one of the best TVs around today, you need a soundbar (or other sound system) to accompany it. It can feel like the sound gets left out of the equation. However, this deal on the Sonos Arc — a pickup straight from the top of our list of the best Sonos soundbars — marks it down to $719. That's a savings of $181 off of its typical price of $900. Tap the button below to see it for yourself and pick one up for your current or new TV set or keep reading to see why we've labeled this bar the best of its brand.

Why you should buy the Sonos Arc
The Sonos Arc is a fantastic way to start getting good sound in your home without having to know what you're doing. The hardest parts are taken care of for you. For example, the 'Trueplay' software of the Sonos Arc tunes the sound optimization for the layout and acoustics of your room, not an idealized one. Then, should you take advantage of the Sonos Arc's wall mounting capabilities, you don't have to do anything to rebalance the sound for that, a magnetic sensor detects and adjusts bass resonance for you.
