Best smartwatch deals for Black Friday Cyber Monday 2023: Garmin, Fitbit and more

So, you’re telling me your current watch only tells you the time? That is so 1998.

Invest in a timepiece that does so much more by diving head-first into the smartwatch revolution.

With every passing year, these watches are getting more and more advanced. Not only have smartwatches been kitted out with fitness trackers so you can have the equivalent of a personal trainer on your wrist but there is the ability to monitor your sleep, sense your temperature, enable crash detection and find out your blood oxygen level. All that at the touch of a button.

What’s more, these devices are getting increasingly attractive with sleek straps, chunky chains and collaborations with high-end luxury fashion houses so that it’s a status symbol as well as the ultimate health essential.

With all that in mind, it is no surprise that smartwatches are some of the most sought-after pieces of tech when the Black Friday sales roll around.

FAQs

When is Black Friday?

For 2023, Black Friday is on November 24. While this is the official date, the name has become a banner term for an extended sales period that can start as early as the beginning of November.

What is Black Friday?

Originating in the USA back in the 80s, Black Friday is a sales event that takes place just once a year following Thanksgiving. You may remember queues outside brick-and-mortar establishments where people would camp out in hopes of securing the cheapest tech deals on offer, but now the event is mostly in the digital space and it’s good. Really good.

When does Black Friday end?

Beginning on the fourth Friday of November, the sale continues on to the weekend and through to Cyber Monday. This year, Cyber Monday will be on November 27.

This day was typically reserved for tech deals but now tends to be a continuation for every category from beauty to homeware. Pay close attention though as for some retailers, the deals will crank up to the next level on this day, while others will drop the amount saved. It is best to play it safe and nab the bargains when you see them to avoid disappointment.

What kind of smartwatch deals can we expect?

The latest launch, the Apple Watch Series 7 was part of the Black Friday sale last year at Amazon and John Lewis, so we expect the same to be true for the model that launched in September, the Apple Watch Series 8. You will also find jaw-dropping reductions across Garmin, Fitbit, Huawei and Google Pixel too. We predict even the Google Pixel Watch 2 that launched mere weeks ago.

Apple Watch SE (2022) GPS, 44mm, Regular, Silver

Was: £239

Buy now £199.00, John Lewis
