The second day of Amazon's October Prime Day event continues, and aside from discounts on things like MacBooks, and TVs, we're seeing tons of discounts on fitness trackers and wearables from Samsung, Garmin, and Apple.
A sales event like Prime Big Deal Days is one of the best times all year to pick up a new fitness tracker as the deals are among the lowest they are all year — even rivaling the discounts we see around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Many of the best running watches, like the Garmin Forerunner 745, are discounted by up to $120 off.
Below are the best Prime Day fitness tracker deals available now, including discounts on some smartwatches that offer essential fitness features. Act quickly, though. Prime Big Deal Days ends at midnight tonight.

Prime Day fitness tracker deals buying advice
Is Prime Day the best time to buy a fitness tracker?
Yes, it can be. Deals events like Prime Day are a good opportunity to pick between a wide variety of fitness trackers that are on a discount, and many of the wearables are at their lowest prices all year. This includes devices like the Apple Watch, as well as other trackers from Garmin and Samsung.
Do I need to be a Prime subscriber to take advantage of the deals?
Yes, in order to participate in Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, you do need to be subscribed to Amazon Prime. New subscribers do get a free 30-day trial when signing up for Amazon Prime, and the trial doesn't limit any eligibility for taking advantage of the deals.
Keep in mind that once the trial ends, you will be charged for either a monthly or yearly Amazon Prime subscription. If you don't want to be charged, make sure to cancel your subscription before the end of the 30 days.
What fitness trackers are best?
This depends on how you intend to use your fitness tracker. Some wearables, like Garmin's Forerunner line, are designed for runners with tools geared towards improving someone's running style or technique, while others, like the Suunto 9 Peak, excel at tracking a wider range of outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, or swimming.
Once you know the kinds of activities you'll use the wearable for most, then you can look at other features it may offer like sleep tracking or workout recommendations. Classifying a single tracker as "the best" all comes down to how it fits in with your current lifestyle.
How much should I spend on a fitness tracker?
This depends on your budget. Fitness trackers range in price from around $80 or $90 for wearables like the Fitbit Inspire 3, to up to $800 or more for high-end options like the Garmin Epix Pro or Apple Watch Ultra.
Higher-priced fitness trackers offer more in the way of advanced features, such as in-depth sleep monitoring or blood oxygen tracking. However, cheaper models are still effective options that count steps and burned calories while also tracking a variety of activities.
Will there be better deals during Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Although we don't know what deals will be available during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's likely the discounts are very similar. We expect to see comparable discounts during Prime Big Deal Days as we saw during the Prime Day event over the summer — and we anticipate seeing the same during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, too.
