Cyber Monday Smartwatch Deals 2025: Track Your Tech and Fitness

Google’s Pixel Watch 3 earned an 8/10 from us for its 2000‑nit display, improved battery compared with previous Pixel Watch models, and deep Fitbit integration that makes heart rate, SpO2, sleep, ECG, and GPS tracking feel effortless. During our review, we found notifications and health insights to be polished, and LTE options let you leave your phone behind. Our experience shows you’ll want a screen protector to avoid scratches, and some safety features are region‑dependent; battery life still varies by how hard you push it and the size you choose.

Polar’s Vantage V3 landed a 6.5/10 with excellent dual‑frequency GPS and long GPS battery that endurance athletes will appreciate, plus a crisp AMOLED display for easy mid‑run glances. During our review, route accuracy was rock‑solid, and ECG support is a nice health bonus. However, our experience shows wrist‑based heart rate can be inconsistent for certain workouts, and occasional software or sync hiccups—and a lagging Polar Flow app—make it feel behind similarly‑priced rivals this year.

For serious runners, the Forerunner 965 scored 8.5/10 for its spot‑on GPS accuracy, bright AMOLED screen, and deep training metrics in Garmin Connect. In our testing, maps and data fields were crisp, and guidance like training readiness felt genuinely helpful for planning race blocks. Battery life isn’t as long as Garmin’s MIP models in some GPS modes, there’s no ECG, and our experience shows the AMOLED glass can pick up scratches—use a protector if you’re hard on gear.

If you want weeks, not days, of battery, the Withings ScanWatch 2 hits a sweet spot—scoring 7/10 with up to ~30 days per charge and a medical‑grade single‑lead ECG for AFib checks. In our testing, daily heart rate, SpO2, and skin temperature trends were easy to view and hands‑off. The trade‑off is versatility: there’s no onboard GPS, high‑intensity HR can be inconsistent, and our experience shows the charger can be fiddly with occasional firmware hiccups, especially for very active users.

Our top‑rated choice at 10/10, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 nails the balance of ruggedness, battery, and connectivity: we saw roughly 42 hours of normal use and up to 72 in Low Power Mode. During testing, the 49mm titanium case and sapphire crystal shrugged off knocks, while GPS, LTE/5G, and satellite safety features made it uniquely capable off‑grid. It’s pricey at $799 and big for smaller wrists, and the 40‑meter dive limit may not satisfy pros—but for most adventurers, it’s phenomenal.

While not our highest scorer, Apple’s Series 10 earned an 8.5/10 in our review for its bigger, brighter display and truly useful health upgrades like FDA‑cleared sleep apnea detection, ECG, and dependable GPS. During testing, the wide‑angle screen made metrics easier to glance at mid‑workout, and fast charging to 80% in about 30 minutes was clutch. Daily battery still hovers around 18 hours and SpO2 can be unavailable in some regions, but at $329 it’s a fantastic mainstream pick if you charge nightly.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra (47mm) scored 8/10 with longer‑than‑average battery for Wear OS, a rugged titanium build, LTE, and dual‑frequency GPS that tracked beautifully in our outdoor tests. We found it great for hiking and gym days, and it shrugs off water and dust with high durability ratings. Be aware some advanced features work best with a Samsung phone, it’s hefty at 60.5 g, and the price premium over the Galaxy Watch7 narrows its appeal.

At $199.95 for Cyber Monday, the Galaxy Watch7 LTE scored 7.5/10 in our review for packing accurate heart rate, SpO2, and ECG sensors plus dual‑frequency GPS into an affordable package. In our testing, GPS locks were quick and route traces were clean, making outdoor runs and rides easy to track without your phone. Just note our experience shows LTE setup can be finicky depending on carrier, and the battery feels shorter than older Samsung models—worth it if you prioritize health features over multiday endurance.

Scoring a lofty 9.5/10, the fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire is a tank for adventure—multi‑band GPS proved superb in our testing, and the rugged case with sapphire crystal plus the built‑in flashlight inspire confidence. Maps and metrics pop on the bright AMOLED, and its improved water resistance with dive‑capable features broadens what you can do from trail to reef. It’s undeniably pricey, and our experience shows battery varies by size and always‑on settings; occasional software quirks or restarts can occur but typically resolve after firmware updates.

For under $50, the Amazfit Bip 5 Unity is a solid starter watch that scored 5/10 in our testing: the big 1.91‑inch display is easy to read and the multi‑day battery impresses. Heart rate and SpO2 tracking cover everyday wellness checks, and the watch is comfortable for sleep. The trade‑offs are real though—no built‑in GPS or ECG means runs need your phone, and our experience shows notifications/app connectivity can be flaky on certain phones, so serious athletes should look higher.
