Hunting for deals is a slippery slope. One day you’re excited at the thought of 10 percent off, and the next, you can’t muster an ounce of emotion unless you’re stacking coupons and getting free shipping and beating all other discounts in history. It’s Amazon Prime Day, and I have a thrill about this excellent Fitbit Charge 6 price drop—plus some of our other favorite smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Fitbit Charge 6 Deal
The Fitbit Charge 6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is the Best Fitness Tracker on the market. And we would know! Resident expert Adrienne So has tested dozens of fitness trackers, after all. It’s on sale for $100, a historic low price we haven’t seen since Black Friday of last year. It doesn’t have fall detection or a fancy set of rings to close, but it does have basically every fitness tracking feature you could want. And since Google bought Fitbit, there are more integrations with Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music. Be aware that some features are locked behind a Fitbit Premium subscription, which costs $10 per month. But if you want sheer bang for your buck, the Fitbit Charge 6 is where it’s at—especially right now.
Apple Watch Deal
The Apple Watch Series 9 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the best smartwatch for iPhone owners, and this is one of the best prices we’ve tracked. It has an excellent operating system and all the features you’d want in a smartwatch, like fitness insights, automatic fall detection, and an electrocardiogram. And there are snazzy quality-of-life improvements, too, like onboard Apple Maps integration and a fun walkie talkie mode. The battery does require charging every night. Check our list of the Best Apple Watch Accessories for fun cases, screen protectors, and more.
