Samsung’s Galaxy Watches are among the best smartwatches you can buy, and lucky for you, pretty much all their models are on sale for Amazon’s big event. We’re seeing small discounts on the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch Classic 6 — about $30 each — but they are the newest models, so any discount is welcome.

If you want to save more money, you can drop to the Galaxy Watch 5, which will see you save about $50 on its models. This is an excellent deal for anyone unwilling to shell out their money for the newest wearable. The changes year-over-year to the Galaxy Watch lineup usually haven’t been too huge, so you’re not missing a ton by going with last year’s model.

Of course, you can save the most money by picking up the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for only $215. You do miss out on a bit of performance — the newest Watch 6 Classic has a better processor and more RAM — however, the Watch 4 Classic did get the upgrade to WearOS 4, so on the software side of things, you’re basically caught up.


Best Google Pixel Watch deals

With the Google Pixel Watch 2 still in its pre-order phase, the chances of seeing any deals during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sales event are pretty slim; however, the first iteration of the device is seeing its most significant discount ever!

For only $210, you can grab the original Google Pixel Watch — 40% off, making it a heck of a deal. Sure, in our Google Pixel Watch review we had a couple of reservations, but that was mostly because it was priced so high for a first foray into the smartwatch market. Knocking $140 off the price tag basically makes most of those criticisms moot, and we strongly support grabbing one of these before they are gone!


Best TicWatch deals

$130 $200 Save $70

While TicWatch may not be the first thing you think of when you think about Android smartwatches, Mobvoi has been making some Android watches for a while now, and they present a great alternative to those who don’t like the Google or Samsung way of doing things. Unfortunately, this means new OS update can be kind of slow on the TicWatch, but if you don’t mind waiting a bit for the newest software, they are very good smartwatches.

Personally, we love the TicWatch Pro 5 and think it has every bit of the features, battery life, and performance you need out of a modern-day Android smartwatch. Grabbing one today for only $280, is a hefty discount you should take advantage of if you can.


Mobvoi has also included a sneaky coupon deal for one of their slightly older models, the TicWatch E3. Apply the coupon, and you’ll receive $60 off at checkout, which will only cost you $140.

If you’re in the market for a high-quality smartwatch as a gift or for personal use, there are several tempting Garmin Prime Day deals to consider. Among the options available, a few particularly stand out for their exceptional value and reliable performance. These deals offer the top-notch quality and versatility that Garmin is renowned for, and represent some of the best prices available in recent months.

During Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, some of the finest Garmin smartwatches are available at significant discounts. The premium Garmin Epix (Gen 2) and the rugged Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical Edition are among the top choices for active users, with savings of up to $250 depending on the option you choose. If you value battery power above all else, the Garmin Fenix 7S Solar can last up to 14 days on a single charge, so you know you have a lot of time with the device on your wrist.


Lastly, we think the $50 discount on the more stylish and less rugged Garmin Lily will appeal to a lot of people who don’t necessarily need a fitness tracker that looks like it was made to survive a trip to the summit of Mount Everest.

Why is there be a second Prime Day in 2023?

This will be the second year in a row Amazon has hosted a deals event in October, which could mean that this new event is becoming a staple part of Amazon’s calendar in the years to come. After all, Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale (last year’s event) had plenty of deals for consumers to jump on, and with giant shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up fast, Amazon clearly wants in on the fun.


Prime Big Deal Days vs. Prime Day: What’s the difference?

There really isn’t much difference between Amazon’s Prime Day (which always happens earlier in the year) and Prime Big Deal Days. Both are significant sales events that Amazon hosts and offer many deals on great products — including smartwatches and fitness trackers. The most significant difference is clearly the date, as one sale is in July while the other lands in October.

That means Big Deal Days offers many attractive deals that will set the tone for holiday shopping leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The Prime Big Deal Days event is an excellent option if you prefer not to wait until November to take advantage of discounts. There are great deals in every shopping category, similar to those offered during the regular Prime Day event.

Do you need to be a Prime member to save on Prime Big Deal Days?

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are exclusively available for Prime members. This isn’t very surprising if you’ve tuned in to these sale events before as being a Prime member is the best way to save. It’s possible that you may find some deals on Amazon that don’t require a Prime membership, but the best deals will require one.


However, suppose you prefer not to sign up for a Prime membership. In that case, other major retailers have some deals in order to compete with Amazon during this time, which could lead to a potential gold mine on some products elsewhere as well.

Amazon Prime has long since evolved from the days when it merely offered free two-day shipping and a burgeoning library of original shows. Prime now includes a music service, one of the most robust TV show and movie streaming services on the market, unique deals for its members — like free Twitch subscriptions and exclusive Whole Foods discounts — plus access to exclusive deals, especially on Amazon’s unofficial-official holidays, like the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days.
