With Christmas drawing ever closer, it’s more than time to start crossing some names off of your gift-buying list. But procrastination doesn't have to mean overspending: There are some very good deals on smartwatches to be found right now—from brands like Garmin, Fitbit, Apple, and Google—that will still arrive in time for Christmas.
These watches are at historic low prices right now, so order soon if you want to get one under the tree by Christmas morning.
The Garmin Forerunner 745 is a great smartwatch for those very outdoor and active people who like to do a variety of sports, including biking, track running, triathlon mode, swimming, etc. It also has preloaded workout suggestions based on your activity. It has a seven-day battery life, and it can sync to streaming services like Amazon Music, Deezer, and Spotify. You can also pay using Garming Pay if they want to leave their wallet at home.
The Garmin Forerunner 745 was originally priced at $499 when it was released in 2020, but you can get it now for its lowest price yet: $269.99 at Amazon.
The Fitbit Versa 4 is more user-friendly and better at tracking sleep and energy levels than the Garmin Forerunner 745. If you know your targeted giftee is into monitoring their sleep, tracking their energy levels throughout the day, or having their heart rate or blood pressure monitored, the Fitbit Versa 4 will fit their wrist. It has six-day battery life, Bluetooth connectivity to take calls and texts from your wrist, and even support for Google Maps (only for Android users).
The Fitbit Versa 4 was originally $229.99 when it was released in the fall of 2022, but you can get it now for its lowest price ever, $149.95 from Amazon.
The Apple Watch Ultra is Apple's flagship line of smartwatches. The first generation Ultra was recently eclipsed by the Apple Watch Ultra 2, released this past September. The Ultra 2 doesn't offer that much of an improvement in terms of functionality, so if you want to gift a pricey, full-featured watch but don't mind a (slightly) older model, it's a good time to grab the original Ultra: It's currently $639 from Best Buy, ts lowest price yet according to Honey's price history, and $20 cheaper than Amazon.
If you have someone on your list in the Google ecosystem, the Google Pixel Watch is a safe bet. Google's first smartwatch came two years after they acquired Fitbit, in the form of the Google Pixel Watch, released in 2022. It was recently succeeded by the Pixel Watch 2, but there isn't that much of a difference in features to warrants the big difference in price.
You can get the Google Pixel Watch for $199.99 from Amazon right now; that's the lowest price it has reached—matching what it sold for on Black Friday, according to Camelcamelcamel's price history.
These smartwatches at at all-time low prices and will arrive by Christmas (if you act fast).
