Even though most of the big sales have ended, buying a new smartwatch today is still a great opportunity. If you're specifically looking for a timepiece with long battery life, Garmin's smartwatches remain some of the best options. That includes the Vivoactive 5, which is currently priced as low as $219 on Amazon.
Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch is a bigger update compared to recent major versions. That’s why more users are anticipating its arrival, especially those with earlier-generation models that have a larger user base. After weeks of waiting, the update has now started rolling out to the Galaxy Watch 7. Here are the best features to look out for.
Before the keynote in September, frugal Apple fans still had to make a lot of compromises! The iPhone 16 only came with a 60 Hz refresh rate while the Apple Watch SE 2 arrived on the market in 2022 sans 5G connectivity, gesture support, or an energy-saving mode. Apple is adding these and other features to the Watch SE 3 in 2025. Thus, we have finally arrived at a smartwatch that is truly suitable for everyday use. The latest Apple Watch model particularly benefited from Apple's ecosystem!
One of the best things about the new Pixel Watch 4 is that it runs on Wear OS 6, which brings a host of enhancements, including the major Material 3 Expressive design overhaul. Now, owners of older Pixel Watch models, including the Pixel Watch 3 and Watch 2, are getting the same upgrade.

If you're like me and prefer waiting for a new smartwatch model to drop so the previous generation gets a markdown, then Prime Day is one of the best times to make that plan pay off. Right now, Samsung’s Galaxy Watches are part of the sale, with the Galaxy Watch 7 likely stealing the spotlight. The 40mm GPS variant is down to $149, a solid drop from its regular price of $249.
Rugged. Smart. Built for the outdoors. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro packs the health and fitness features of premium wearables at a fraction of the cost. Its growing ecosystem of companion devices, like a smaller strap or even a ring for sleep tracking, makes health monitoring feel natural and uninterrupted. But there are key tradeoffs, and not everyone will want to live with them. Would you take the plunge?
If you haven’t picked up the Pixel Watch 3 because of its steep price, now might be the best time. Google has slashed the price of the smartwatch ahead of the Pixel Watch 4 launch. Right now, Amazon has the Wi-Fi 41 mm model down to $299 from $349—a sizeable $50 (20%) discount. This marks a new record-low for the smartwatch.
Oura users have been asking for it for years, and now it’s finally here: a pocket-sized charging case. It holds up to five full charges for the Oura Ring 4, which means you can forget about scrambling for a wall socket every couple of days. Alongside it, Oura is also rolling out a new ceramic collection and a feature that lets you switch between multiple rings on the same account.
“Third time’s the charm?” The Apple Watch Ultra 3 brings a slightly bigger display, longer battery life, faster connectivity with 5G, and a new satellite SOS feature. These aren’t radical changes, but together they make the Ultra 3 feel more polished and capable than its predecessors. The question is whether these upgrades are enough to make it the ultimate user-friendly adventure watch Apple promises or if it is still more of an incremental step than a must-have upgrade.
Both the Ultra 3 and Ultra 2 share many similarities, from the rugged titanium design to the extensive sensor suite and watchOS experience. If you want a full recap of what made the previous generation great, read our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review. I will link it in this piece so we do not repeat ourselves and can focus on what is new and what matters most this year.
Samsung’s smartwatches are already a powerful range of wearables, offering far more than basic step counts and heart rate tracking. With continued development, it’s clear the company aims to equip them with even more life-saving tools. And we may already have a clue about what’s coming next, which is early detection of Alzheimer’s disease.
