The is $50 off and down to $349 for Black Friday, which is a record low. While not a huge departure from last year's Series 7, it does build upon that wearable's solid foundation. You'll find all of the Series 7's features on the , along with a new skin temperature sensor and crash detection. Essentally, Apple didn't fix what wasn't broken and we consider the Series 8 to be the you can get right now.

The second-generation is on sale for $229, which is an all-time-low price. Apple upgrade a lot in this smartwatch — it has a new SiP and a larger screen, both of which help the new SE look and feel more modern. Apple still left some features to the Series 8, include an always-on display, ECG reader, skin temperature sensor and a few others, but if you can live without those upgrades, the gives you a ton of value at its relatively affordable price.

The is $60 off and down to $739 for Black Friday, which remains high, but still represents a good deal on this high-end smartwatch. This wearable was designed for the most adventurous among us, with a titanium case, a larger digital crown, physical buttons, 100m of water resistance and more. We gave it a for its big, bright display, durable build and even longer battery life when compared to other Apple Watches.

is $50 off and down to only $100 for Black Friday. It's the most capable fitness tracker the company makes, complete with built-in GPS, a full-color touchscreen, on-device EDA sensors for stress tracking and more. We gave it a when it came out last year in part for all of those reasons, along with its Fitbit Pay functionality and its multi-day battery life.

The new is down to $70 for Black Friday, which is $30 off its usual price. We named this the you can get right now, and that's only more true when you can pick it up while on sale. The Inspire 3 is more slim than the Charge 5, and while it doesn't have built-in GPS, you can use its connected GPS feature to map runs and bike rides if you have your phone with you. We also like its automatic workout tracking and long battery life.
Fitbit
is $100 off and down to $200 right now. This is the latest model of the company's flagship smartwatch, and it supports all-day stress monitoring with cEDA sensors, blood oxygen measurements and an ECG app. That's on top of all the standard features you'd expect in a smartwatch at this price range: daily movement and sleep tracking, built-in GPS, Fitbit Pay, onboard Alexa capabilities and more. If you're looking for something even more affordable, the has dropped to $150 for Black Friday.

Google's new is $50 off and down to $299 for Black Friday. This is one of the most anticipated wearables of the year, being Google's first Pixel-branded smartwatch and a marriage between the Android giant and Fitbit (which is now owns). We gave the Pixel Watch a — while we liked it, we didn't love it. It has a super attractive design and excellent health and fitness tracking features, but it's brought down by bad battery life. Google promises 24 hours of wear, but we typically only got through 12 hours before getting low-power warnings.

Samsung's has dropped to $229 for Black Friday, which is a record-low price. While it's a modest update to the Galaxy Watch 4, we believe the Watch 5 is the best wearable for Android users. We gave it a for its durable yet attractive design, comprehensive health tracking features and its slightly improved battery life.
Garmin
A number of are on sale for Black Friday, key among them being the for $175 — that's nearly half off its usual price and a record low. We like this model's clean design and its extensive health tracking features, which include blood oxygen monitoring, built-in GPS, more than 20 pre-loaded workout profiles and more. The Vivoactive 4s also support smartphone alerts, Garmin Pay, space for onboard music and a battery life of up to seven days.
