Are you in the market for a new smartwatch for yourself from a loved one? There's no better occasion than Amazon Prime Day to grab a smartwatch at a bargain price. Gone are the days when people wondered why they needed a smartwatch when they already had a smartphone with the date and time in their pocket. Today, the benefits of using a wrist-based computing device, especially for staying fit, are obvious. Receiving calls, notifications and emails; and even listen to your favorite music.
Smartwatches are compatible with iPhone or Android operating systems and have a longer lifespan. For example, the last three generations of the Apple Watch have held up their value well and are compatible with multiple generations of phones and watch systems. Popular watches compatible with Samsung, LG, Google, and other phones run on Android- and iOS-friendly Wear OS. In addition to discounted smartwatches, Amazon Prime Day is expected to have some of the best deals all year round. So be sure to check out the Prime Day deals that we think are worth jumping into before they're gone.

There are currently no Amazon Prime Day deals as Amazon Prime Day has not yet started and we are not even sure what date Amazon selected to sell after having moved it from its normal July date. However, if you are currently looking for a smartwatch and can't wait, this list shows you some of the best deals available right now.
When are the best smartwatch deals for Prime Day?
While Amazon tends to reserve the best deals for the event itself, it has also been known to whet the appetite with some must-have deals ahead of the event (usually starting the week before). If you notice something you like beforehand, don't hesitate to track it down. There is no guarantee that it will be on sale again on Prime Day or that it will even be that cheap. You can always return it and buy it again if it's cheaper.
What to expect from Prime Day Smartwatch
Prime Day competes with other annual events like Black Friday, and the best deals generally go on items that don't get discounted often - such as current generation or high-end models. Smartwatches are the Apple Watch Series 5 as well as older devices such as the Series 3 (currently available on the Apple website) and 4 as well as tricky fitness trackers such as the Garmin Forerunner or the Samsung Galaxy Watch. This is in contrast to simple, often reduced activity trackers. Android users should look out for Wear OS and Tizen wearables from Fossil and Samsung. While older products often get the biggest discounts, flash deals on coveted newer items like the Apple Watch Series 5 are likely to come at the lowest prices. When you have something in mind, jump on it.
