How to choose a smartwatch on Cyber Week

There are a lot of options out there for smartwatches, but for the most part, there are generally three big players on the market: Apple, Samsung, and Garmin. Apple Watches are made specifically for the Apple ecosystem, and if you’re in it, then you’ll want to go with one of those, with your main options being the Watch Series 9 for a good budget-friendly option, the Ultra Watch 2 for the best, and the Series 10 for something in the middle. We actually have a great breakdown of the Apple Watch Series 9 vs. Ultra 2 , so be sure to check that out before taking the plunge.

On the other hand, Samsung is the go-to smartwatch maker for Android, and it generally has two options every generation: a standard model and a pro or classic model with a bezel that you can turn to control the watch. Samsung does have a high-end option in the form of the Galaxy Watch Ultra , but it borrows, almost to a comical extent, from the Apple Watch Ultra.

Finally, Garmin is the brand you go for if you want something more about fitness tracking than a smartwatch. It has a wide range of products, but the Forerunner lineup is great for runners, while the Venu is a great option for those who want a good balance between smartwatch and fitness tracker.

How we chose these Cyber Week smartwatch deals

With many decades of combined experience as reviewers and deal hunters, we have a very good sense of what watches offer the best offers and prices. Of course, we don’t just rely on our own instincts, but we also put in a lot of legwork to make sure you’re getting the best deals you can for any single smartwatch we put up here. We also have our own set of tools that we can fall back on to look at things such as historical pricing. When you put all that together, you get suggestions that offer you the best bang for your buck so that you can buy with confidence.

A Garmin smartwatch deal worth buying: Save $250 on a Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar
A front view of a Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar.

Right now there are a few deals going on around the Garmin Fenix 7 line, but we've found one that's the best to buy today, combining a good price with great features. And that's on the 47mm Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar. It has the most features and a price worth looking at twice after the discounts are applied (it's just $650 from $900 after the $250 discount).

However, we fear there may be some confusion over the word "Sapphire" in the watch's name — that's an indicator of a feature and not a color! You're totally forgiven if you were expecting a somewhat blueish gemstone coloration, but instead we're seeing a black version and a gray/orange that invokes memories of Valve's GLaDOS. Tap the appropriate button below to see the color you want or read on to see why this is one of the best smartwatch deals we're seeing at the moment.
