Don't want to break the bank on a Pixel Watch? You can score our best Android watch on Amazon for less than $250 — and it's 'particularly suited for runners'

The Amazon Big Spring Sale is still going strong, and if there's one thing I always look out for, it's deals on the best smartwatches.

I say it all the time when it comes to big sales events, but it's prime time to be shopping for a smartwatch upgrade, and though you may be tired of hearing that from me, you'll thank me once you've checked out this OnePlus Watch 3 deal — aka, our best Android smartwatch.

You can score the latest OnePlus model for $249.99 (was $299.99) at Amazon right now, a solid alternative to higher-end models such as the Pixel Watch 4, which is $90 more. Choosing a smartwatch that best fits your needs is tough; I've also been there, but that's what we're here for. If you're already in the Android ecosystem and want a smartwatch with more than enough basic fitness metrics that won't burn a hole in your wallet, the OnePlus Watch 3 could be your next best friend.

Today's best OnePlus Watch 3 deal

When we tested the OnePlus Watch 3, one of its main features that stood out was how stacked it was with information for runners, making it an ideal tracker for those who are crazy for cardio. In addition to its mapping accuracy, which we've compared to the likes of the Apple Watch Ultra, it offers a 'professional' mode for running on top of 10 others, with over 100 different regular sports modes.

One of the shining stars of this smartwatch is the 60-second heart health check-in tool, which not only measures heart rate but also tracks blood oxygen levels, wrist temperature, sleep quality, and even mental wellness. And all you have to do is hold down the sensor button, and it will do the rest for you.

You should note that the OnePlus Watch 3 is also quite chunky in size, so it may not be suited to smaller wrists, but that doesn't get in the way of its impressive roster of above-surface-level features.
