BEST DEALS LIVE RIGHT NOW
Smartwatches are all the rage these days. They’re not just a watch, but not quite a smartphone — somewhere nicely in the middle of the two. Also, they provide a great out for when the inevitably uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinner conversations begin. “Oh, would you look at the time!”
If if you’re planning on picking one up for Black Friday, there’s no need to wait any longer — at least when it comes to Amazon. Their list of smartwatch offerings is pretty sweet right now (fitness trackers, too).
Here are the best ones you can pick up immediately:
GPS, optical heart sensor, swim-proof, stylish — what’s not to love? The newest Apple Watch is the perfect marriage between fitness tracker and smart-function-capable watch, and makes the perfect companion to your iPhone. Get one on Amazon for Black Friday and save $20.
The Amazon-exclusive Fitbit Versa 2 is compatible with Alexa to get you news, weather forecasts, schedule updates, and more as soon as you need it. Track your sleep quality each night, your heart rate and steps throughout the day, and browse through music streaming apps as often as you please. It’s $50.96 off on Amazon right now.
A more minimalistic Fitbit, the Inspire is only used for health tracking — including heart rate, steps, sleep activity, and calories burned. It’s for those who prefer not to receive any texts on their daily run and/or gym session. Grab one and save $30 for Black Friday on Amazon.
One Mashable staffer (and an avid runner) loved the Garmin Forerunner 235 and its features, including customizable lap distances, an easily readable watch face, simple menu navigation, and third-party app integration. It also has up to an 11-day battery life. Pick one up on Amazon and save $180 during Black Friday.
You can also get the smaller and simple Garmin Forerunner 35 for $70.10 off on Amazon, if you don’t mind opting for an earlier generation model.
If you’re looking for something a little more fashion-forward, Withings makes beautiful (and functional) smartwatches that you can wear for just about any occasion. All the usual suspects are here, too — heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, water resistance, and smartphone compatibility. Save $59.99 when you grab one on Amazon for Black Friday.
