Many of the best Cyber Monday deals have come to an end, but the top smartwatch discounts are still around for those who are interested. Amazon’s Cyber Week sale is dropping big price cuts on Fitbit and Samsung Galaxy smartwatches right now. However, even though the Black Friday deals are gone now, there are a ton of Garmin sales going on right now as well to accompany the best smartphone and iPhone deals still available.
Though the brand doesn’t offer anything as fancy as the latest Apple Watch, Garmin has done really well for itself when it comes to outdoor smartwatches. With many Forerunner, Vivoactive, and Fenix 5 models on sale right now, it’s the perfect time to pick up a solid smartwatch at a discount.
As a brand, Garmin offers a huge variety of different outdoor wearables at different price points. If you’re looking to snag a really good model without paying upwards of $500, however, the Garmin Instinct is an excellent option. We gave it a solid review thanks to its rugged design, outdoor features, and comfortable fit. Unlike a lot of sturdy smartwatches on the market, it isn’t overly clunky and annoying to wear. It also comes with over 25 different activities you can track as you embark on new outdoor adventures.
Additionally, it comes with up to 14 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 16 hours in GPS mode. With the $100 Cyber Week discount, you can pick up the Garmin Instinct for just $200 on Amazon today.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
