Prime Day in October came and went. Briefly, in fact, for only 48 hours, Amazon Prime members could splurge on the hottest smartwatch deals this fall. If you missed the chance to save on a new Garmin Epix Gen 2 Sapphire Edition or any other timepiece, Black Friday smartwatch deals will surely give you even more gorgeous deals to consider.
While you wait, why not check out some highlights of the fall shopping spree at Amazon? It could give you a better idea of what smartwatch models will go on sale this November. Let's get into it.
Apple is renowned for creating uber-stylish, well-liked timepieces for iOS users—which rarely get more than 25% off, even during shopping events. This Prime Day was no different, meaning there weren't mind-blowing discounts on the hottest and latest models.
That said, you could save $100 on select 45mm Apple Watch 9 models, while the affordable Apple Watch SE 2 was 32% cheaper than usual. That landed it under the $170 mark, by the way, a great price for an iOS smartwatch.

Samsung's wearables got huge discounts at this month's shopping spree. October 8–9 brought even some deals on the latest timepieces, the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The former got a $31 discount, while the Ultra model received a hefty $111 price cut.
Older but still quite relevant models, such as the Galaxy Watch 6 were $125–$130 cheaper than usual. Hopefully, we'll get the same, if not better deals on Samsung's wearable tech when Black Friday 2024 kicks off.

Hot deals on Garmin models were abundant during October Prime Day. Some models received an absolutely unprecedented $500 price cut. It was available for just a few hours on the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire Edition, landing the expensive smartwatch under $400.
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 was also part of the discount fun a couple of weeks ago. Users with Prime membership could get it for 17% off. As for Garmin Venu 3 models, we only encountered a rather humble $50 price cut on the Venu 3S.

Less popular smartwatch models, such as the Amazfit T-Rex Ultra, got 20%+ off, with some options getting 30% more affordable. Aside from smartwatches, you could also get a new Amazfit Helio Smart Ring at $68 cheaper prices.
Which watch to buy on October Prime Day?
If you are an Apple user/outdoor enthusiast, go for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with no hesitation. After all, Apple created the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for iPhone users with active lifestyles. If you don't lead an active lifestyle, get an Apple Watch Series 9.
It's the same thing if you want to buy a Galaxy Watch. People with active lifestyles wanting a Galaxy Watch should go for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro or Galaxy Watch Ultra, and those who aren't outdoor enthusiasts for the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, or Galaxy Watch 5.
In case you are sport-oriented and like to spend your free time climbing mountains or diving underwater and need a smartwatch with amazing battery life, then you should definitely buy a Garmin smartwatch.
