So you want to buy a new smartwatch, and you’ve been waiting for the Black Friday deals to drop to upgrade your tech. I’ve got good news — the Black Friday deals have started a week early this year, and now is a good time to buy. 

I’ve been covering Black Friday for the past nine years, and this year, the deals appear to be dropping earlier than ever. Below, I’ve hand-picked a few of the best Black Friday smartwatch deals that have already dropped, but keep an eye on our Black Friday smartwatch deals hub as we get nearer to Black Friday.

Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS/41mm): was $399 now $299 @ Amazon
The best Apple Watch deal to shop today is on the Apple Watch Series 8, which currently has a whopping $100 off! It's not the newest Apple Watch on the market, but don't let this put you off. Aside from the double tap gesture and the S9 processor, the Apple Watch Series 8 looks and feels very similar to the Apple Watch Series 9. This is a great buy.

In our Google Pixel Watch review, we said its good looks, smart software, and its Fitbit-based fitness tracking features make it a strong first-generation device. At $199, this is the lowest price we've seen for the Pixel Watch.

Ok, so it's not technically a smartwatch, but LOOK at this deal! The Charge 6 is Fitbit's newest fitness tracker, and at $99, it's an excellent price for an excellent device. It has all of Google's newest apps, as well as built-in GPS, and new exercise modes. Plus, the side button is also back, which makes navigating around the watch easier.

The black titanium and white titanium models are also on sale, but are slightly more expensive. Don’t hang around — this deal is bound to sell out quickly.

The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic costs $100 more than the Galaxy Watch 6 and comes in larger 43mm and 47mm sizes.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a smartwatch? 

In a word, yes! Last year we saw discounts on a number of brand's top smartwatches, from Apple to Fitbit. The deals above are all fantastic, and are some of the lowest prices we've seen for the smartwatches in question, so we'd be tempted to shop now, rather than wait for the official Black Friday to arrive!
