Best Prime Day fitness tracker deals

The Apple Watch Series 9 may have just been replaced by the Series 10, but it's still an excellent fitness tracker in 2024. It has a built-in temperature and ECG sensor. This watch also can help you track different types of activities like walking, running, pilates, cycling and so much more. It also monitors your sleeping patterns as well. Since it's an Apple product, it features Siri to give you a hands-free experience. 

Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra gives Android users a big, tough watch with built-in LTE, WearOS 5 and a suite of health and fitness tools. It's close to $100 off at Amazon right now. 

A more budget-friendly option from Apple. It has most of the features that the Series 9 watch has. The SE does not have the always-on display and certain heart-monitoring features like the ECG. At $170, it's down to its best price to date.

Samsung's newest flagship smartwatch comes with improved heart-rate tracking, the ability to monitor your sleep and many more health features. At less than $300, this Amazon Prime Day discount is a solid deal on Samsung's newest watch. 

Select configurations of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are discounted as low as $735 at Amazon right now, including the just-released black titanium model. It's Apple's big-screen, rugged sports watch and offers a battery life that lasts several days. 

This Galaxy Watch 6 by Samsung is perfect for those who want in-depth health tracking. It comes with the basics like heart rate, oxygen and sleep monitoring as well as ECG. By scanning your health data, it provides health zones made just for you. You can also use the watch to get readings on body fat, skeletal muscle, body water, BMI and more. Keep in mind, the price slightly varies by color. 

The Polar Pacer is a great fitness tracker, especially for runners, thanks to weighing only 40g and excellent GPS tracking. The always-on MIP color display is great for viewing outdoors and contributes to excellent battery life. With advanced training programs, like Training Load Pro, FuelWize smart fuel reminder and Energy Sources, Polar Running Program and FitSpark daily training guidance, you'll be on the way to a new PR in no time.

More Prime Day deals on fitness trackers

• Amazfit Bip 5 smartwatch: $66 (save $23). This Amazfit model is a budget smartwatch, so it won't compete with a Garmin or Apple Watch, but getting a smartwatch that is at all functional for this sort of price is crazy. It has GPS, heart rate and activity tracking, plus can sync with apps like Strava. It also has a 10-day battery life.
• Garmin Vivoactive 5: $250 (save $50). Designed as an Apple Watch SE competitor, the Vivoactive 5 offers a svelte design, a nice AMOLED screen and key activity tracking features, but it leaves out heart health features of fancier Garmins. 
• Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar smartwatch: $480 (save $120). In our review, we praised this model's battery life and Morning Report feature, but we were put off by the price. Thankfully that concern is assuaged with this deal.
  
• Fitbit Ace LTE: $171 (save $59). Score a new all-time low price on this kid-focused smartwatch. It's equipped with 4G for connectivity on the go, and it's designed to be set up as a standalone device without the need to be paired to a phone -- ideal for parents who want to be able to communicate with or track younger kids who aren't ready for a mobile phone of their own.
• Amazfit Band 7: $40 (save $10). This fitness band has up to 28 days of battery life and can track over 120 workouts with all the health monitoring you need.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?

Amazon's Prime Day event is on Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 this year. There will be new deals popping up throughout the event and some may even linger after things wrap up. There are no guarantees, so it's best to shop quickly before deals disappear.

How does October Prime Day compare to July Prime Day?

There are lots of similarities between the two sales. Many of the same deals return during the October sale, especially on Amazon's own devices, such as Blink and Ring home security devices, Fire TVs and tablets, Echo devices and more.

The main difference is related to the timing of the sale. Since July Prime Day is in the summer, there's more focus on back-to-school and outdoor deals. This includes school supplies, grills, lawnmowers and more. During October Prime Day, we see more deals geared toward the upcoming holiday season, such as kitchenware for a Thanksgiving meal or kids toys and games for Christmas.
