The best last minute Prime Day smartwatch and fitness tracker deals I recommend right now

Show more (9 items)

Prime Day is almost over. Amazon's signature summer sales concludes today, and that means you've got a few more hours to shop these discounts before they're gone. While several retailers will capitalize on the deals event to inflate prices and make more money, some retailers will actually discount their merchandise. Prime Day is a good chance to take advantage of those purchase-worthy deals floating around on the internet. But you'll need some help finding those, won't you?

I write, test, and review tech products year-round. Lucky for you, I am closely familiar with the products I review -- and I track their prices and discounts 24/7. So when I include something in this roundup, I have either tested it myself or can vouch that it's legit. If you're shopping for a new smartwatch, smart ring, or health tracker this Prime Day, keep this page in mind. We'll be regularly updating it with good deals ahead of and throughout the Prime Day event, which spans four days this year.

Best Prime Day smartwatch and health tracker deals

Our pick for the best Garmin watch you can buy, the Fenix 8 Pro is the latest flagship model that connects seamlessly to Android and iOS smartphones, in addition to golf club sensors, bike sensors, and more. Just about every sport is covered with an updated smartphone experience, so you can customize the watch settings on your phone and sync them over to the watch.

The smartwatch features a vibrant AMOLED display for ultra-readability, and an LED flashlight, which reviewer Matt Miller says "makes the Fenix 8 Pro an essential tool in my collection." It's also been a top-seller among our readers this Prime Day so far.

Select finishes of the Oura Ring 4 see a 35% to 48% discount right now. These include Rose Gold ($240 off), Brushed Silver ($173 off), Black and Silver ($123 off), Gold ($240 off), and Stealth ($173 off). Oura recently came out with the Oura Ring 5, a slightly slimmer and lighter smart ring than the Oura Ring 4 on sale. The Oura Ring 5 is more expensive, starting at $399, and the Oura Ring 4 will get the same software the Oura Ring 5 has, without that slimmer build and extra day of battery life. The Oura Ring 4 is still a worthy smart ring to purchase, especially if you're looking to save a few bucks.

Samsung users will get the most out of the Galaxy Watch 8. I loved wearing the smartwatch for a few unique features I haven't found in competitors. The first is Samsung's Running Coach, which gauges your running capacity through a test, rates you out of 10, and establishes a training plan you can reference to prepare for your first or next race. The second is Antioxidant Index. There's a sensor on the back of the watch that you press your finger to and it tells you if there are carotenoids in your skin, a sign of sufficient antioxidant intake.

Of course, the watch also does the usual stuff, like exercise, sleep, and stress tracking well.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is our pick for the smartwatch most iPhone owners should buy if they want Apple's latest smartwatch, alongside a 24-hour battery life and the company's full suite of health-tracking features. It's $120 off, a deal we don't see very often -- and a good one at that. The Series 11 is one of a few Apple smartwatches to receive its latest software updates. What does that mean for you? You'll get several years out of this smartwatch, as it's a newer generation Apple continues to include in annual updates.

This smart ring has no subscription, unlike Oura, and does a fine job at tracking sleep. It's not the most advanced smart ring you can get, and you see that when you use the RingConn app. But if you're looking to uncover more details about your sleep patterns at a lower cost than Oura, it's not a bad buy.

Calling all Android users: if you're looking for your next smartwatch, look no further than the Pixel Watch 4. It's the best smartwatch I'd recommend for a few reasons. It's got a long battery life, great fitness and health tracking mechanisms through Google Health, and an upgraded design that makes charging and using the watch simple and seamless. Gemini powers many of the Pixel Watch's newest functionalities, and it does it in a way that feels actually useful and helpful, as far as AI tools go.

Review: I tried the Google Pixel Watch 4 - and these key features made it feel indispensable

The luxury fitness band that started the screenless tracker craze sees a reduced price during Prime Day. This health tracker is one of the priciest subscription wearables you can buy, with the highest annual subscription costing $360. This deal reduces that price by 17%.

Whoop differentiates itself from competitors through its extensive data illustrations built for people who are looking to optimize every aspect of their health, from their sleep and stress to their activity and recovery. It's a fitness band worn by many athletes, thanks to the extensive data it collects and displays. If you buy this band, you're buying one of the more hardcore fitness trackers on the market.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is Apple's most premium smartwatch to date. The smartwatch's feature set leaves no bell nor whistle behind. This includes a 42-hour battery life (or 72 hours if you turn the watch to low power mode), every health-tracking feature (including FDA-cleared hypertension, sleep apnea, and atrial fibrillation detection), and a vibrant OLED screen with improved readability from every angle. It also comes with an Action Button, one addition absent in the Series and SE lineup of Apple Watches. You can press it to initiate a workout with just the tap of a button, take photos with your iPhone, and more.

This is one of the cheaper smart rings I've tested -- and while it certainly feels like a cheaper smart ring compared to the Oura, I'd still recommend it as an affordable health tracker for someone interested in tracking sleep. You should look elsewhere if you want a comprehensive tracker for sleep, activity, and stress. I'd recommend the Samsung Galaxy Ring or one of the older Oura Ring generations instead. But this will do the middling trick for half the price of those rings -- and no subscription fee.

Review: I tried a cheap Oura Ring alternative with no subscription fees - and it worked surprisingly well

Relieve sore muscles and knots with this handheld massage gun. It's $60 off during Prime Day and one of the top massage gun brands you can buy.

These might look like earbuds, but Apple packed some sneaky health-tracking features within the AirPods Pro 3 that are seriously useful. You can track your heart rate as you exercise with the AirPods Pro 3 in. Additionally, you can take a hearing loss detection test and use these as hearing aids. Who knew Apple's latest earbuds could do so much for hearing health? Of course, they're great earbuds on their own with impeccable noise cancellation and sound.

Did you know you can use your HSA or FSA funds to buy yourself a wearable? Google's newest fitness tracker, the Fitbit Air, is unfortunately not discounted (yet). But if your eyes are on the $100 tracker and you have extra cash in one of those health savings accounts, you can use that money to jump on it.

Even if you don't have a health savings account, the Google Fitbit is still a cheap enough device that purchasing one feels like you bought it at a discount.

When is Amazon Prime Day?

This year, Amazon Prime Day runs from Tuesday, June 23, to Friday, June 26.

How did we choose these Amazon Prime Day deals?

I spend lots of time writing about health trackers, sleep monitors, and wellness technology. I also think most of these sales events are marginally helpful for shoppers. It is more an opportunity for big retailers to reignite interest in their own products (and sell inventory) than it is an opportunity for shoppers to get good deals. Still, good deals exist during these events, so I'll tell you about them when I see them. And if you just so happen to be in the market for one of these devices, I'll lead you in the right direction. I am not going to include a product I cannot vouch for, because I'm not interested in wasting your money (or writing about something bad).

I use established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. As someone with great familiarity with these products, I also remember the prices of these products and when they've gone historically lower or higher. This helps me determine if it's actually worth buying. If it's not, I'll tell you so.

Can you use FSA/HSA funds to buy a fitness tracker?

Yes, though it depends on the wearable. Oura Rings, Apple Watches, Pixel Watches, and Fitbits, and Galaxy Watches are all available to purchase with FSA or HSA funds.
