You don’t need to wait until Black Friday to score some sweet, sweet savings on five of my favorite smartwatches — which are also top picks in our best smartwatch buying guide — including the easy-wearing Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and tough-built Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra.
The best deal is on the Galaxy Watch 7 in 40mm. Normally priced at $299, Amazon has Samsung's smartwatch for just $231 — presumably, though, for only a limited time. Plus, the already aggressively-priced Apple Watch SE is reduced $50 via Best Buy, temporarily bringing the barrier to Apple Watch entry down to only $199. Find info on these deals and others below.
