Smartwatches and fitness trackers are becoming harder to categorize. Most smartwatches include features your basic fitness tracker is capable of, like tracking steps and heart rate, while some fitness trackers can perform similar functions to a smartwatch, like GPS location and receiving texts and calls. With evolving technology, smartwatches and fitness trackers often include options like sleep tracking and personalized health insights. With these deals, you can choose which device you feel is right.
This list will be updated throughout the October Prime Day event.

FAQs
When is Amazon’s October Prime Day 2024?
Amazon’s October Prime Day officially starts at 12:01 a.m. PDT on Oct. 8 and will run through Oct. 9. However, there are still deals available after the event comes to an end.
Are smartwatches and fitness trackers really cheaper on Prime Day?
Often, yes. Like most sale days across the calendar year, these wearables may dip in price more than usual. However, that doesn’t mean a product you’ve been eyeing will get a price cut. Brands tend to lower the price of older models to eliminate stock and make way for newer versions of the product. However, you may be surprised to find how much things get marked down.
How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?
We at ZDNET recommend deals and products that we would buy. We scour Amazon’s depths to find the best deals possible on trustworthy and expert-tested products. We aim to find discounts of at least 20%, making sure you are getting as much of a bargain as possible.
If we haven’t tested a product, we heavily rely on the feedback of real people from reviews and Reddit forums. AT ZDNET, our mission is to recommend products we actually like. If they are not tested in-house, they are thoroughly researched to offer helpful guidelines for your decision-making process. We want you to shop smarter, not harder!
