Best smartwatch and fitness tracker deals for Amazon Prime Day 2023: Garmin Forerunner 245, Fitbit and more

In our technologically advanced world, don’t tell me your watch only tells the time? That is so pre-2015.

Why this date? Well that’s when the Apple Watch was released and the ability to do far more than keep up with the hour and minute of any present day entered the mainstream.

Of course, the likes of Garmin existed far early than this and Seiko had been manufacturing computer function-packed wrist pieces as early as 1980s but as is the case with all things Apple, this is when its innvovation caused a boom in the market. Now wearables are one of the most popular and greatest revenue categories on the market with smartwatches leading the way.

Beyond just an Apple Watch, there are smartwatches across the spectrum of affordability and with a varying quantity of functions. Fitbits and their step-counting devices were once the dominant label, joined by Samsung, Garmin, Xiaomi and more so you can find an option that pairs with your phone, computer or headphones with ease.

Ever-growing in their information gathering, monitoring and sharing, you can keep up to date on your steps, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep quality, texts, calls, and even blood oxygen levels. You can even use to make payments and track fitness - all while having a fashion-forward timepiece.

And if you shop during Amazon Prime Day, you’ll be able to get all of that at a fraction of their RRP.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Strap in because if you’re unfamiliar with Amazon’s Prime Day sale, you may just have your mind blown. It’s the online retailing giant’s discount extravaganza that took place twice in 2022. There was one in July as a mid-summer treat and another in October, a pre-sale to Black Friday. The retailer says it is when they will be offering its best ever discounts.

When does Amazon Prime Day end in 2023?

You have until one minute to midnight on July 12 to bag those bargains. Not long now!

How to take part in Amazon Prime Day

Prime Day is an event exclusively for Amazon Prime Day customers. This means you will need to subscribe to being a Prime customer. This will give access to the sale, unlimited next day delivery, Prime Video, free Kindle books and far more, making the outlay of £8.99 a month or £95 a year stretch further.
