Black Friday smartwatches and fitness trackers deals - GSMArena.com news - GSMArena.com

Apple has refined its Watch Series for years, and the eighth iteration brings all the expected health and sports tracking features alongside the new temperature sensor, crash detection feature, and a low-power mode.

Next up is a Wear OS entry – the Pixel Watch from Google.

We liked the snappy Wear OS 3.5 and improved fitness tracking via Google Fit, though, as all first-gen products, Pixel Watch falls short in some areas – especially battery life.

Watch4 Classic has the fan-favorite rotating bezel while Watch4 is an excellent option at its reduced price-point with most of the health and fitness tracking features from the Watch5 series.

If the Pixel Watch is too small and you’re not a fan of Samsung’s One UI 4.5 there’s the Fossil Gen 6, which also boots Wear OS (the old version), though an update to Wear OS 3 is available.

This is a solid-built, premium watch with a capable OS and all the health and activity tracking features you could ask for.

Huawei’s Watch GT 3 Pro is a great alternative to the Wear OS crowd, and it’s down to £249/€279.

You are getting flagship build quality with sapphire crystal glass and a titanium frame alongside upwards of 10 days of battery life with most of the health and activity tracking turned on – something you don’t see on the Wear OS competitors.

It brings the ultimate sports and activity tracking experience with detailed tracking metrics for running, cycling, skiing, swimming, golf and strength training, among others.

You get Garmin’s extensive sports tracking features, as well as built-in WiFi, GPS, sleep tracking and NFC all topped with up to two weeks of battery life on a single charge.

The Garmin Forerunner 245 Music Edition is an even more affordable option in the world of top-tier fitness tracking.

While smartwatches are definitely useful companions to our smartphone or even replacements in certain cases, smartbands are a great alternative with most of the health and sports tracking features at a fraction of the price.

You also get a body temperature sensor and Fitbit’s premium health and fitness tracking options.

Amazfit makes some great smart wearables and the Amazfit Band 7 is a great option at $39.99/€49.90.

It offers a 1.47-inch AMOLED screen, Amazon Alexa, sports tracking for over 120 activities, and 5ATM water resistant.
