Anyone can build and code their own smartwatch with Clockstar 2.0. This hands-on STEM kit combines learning, creativity and wearable tech for anyone who loves to tinker.

If you’re always on the lookout for a tech gift that’s actually original — and not just another pair of earbuds — this one’s for you. The Clockstar 2.0 DIY Smartwatch Kit isn’t just a gadget; it’s an experience. On sale for just $84.99 (MSRP $99), it invites the lucky person unwrapping it to build, code and wear a smartwatch that actually works.

The first big sale on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 slashes the price of the rugged smartwatch to just $699.99. 

Apple unveiled the Ultra 3, which retails for $799, last September during its Awe Dropping event. This deal marks the lowest price we’ve seen yet on Apple’s high-end wearable aimed at extreme athletes (and people who just like its rugged looks and long battery life).

If you’ve ever hesitated at dropping a few hundred dollars on an Apple Watch, take a look at this smartwatch deal: You can get a Tempo Smartwatch by Tinymoose without spending like it’s launch day at the Apple Store.

The Tempo Smartwatch tracks many of the same health features that an Apple Watch does. And at just $38.99, this is the kind of deal that won’t trigger a high heart rate alert when you look at your credit card balance.

A tiny new silicon micro-speaker could transform future wearables — like Apple Watch and other smartwatches — by dramatically reducing thickness while improving audio quality, xMEMS Labs said Tuesday. It unveiled Sycamore-W, an ultra-thin micro speaker engineered for wrist-worn devices. It could make more room in devices as new features like AI interactions become more prevalent.

“Sycamore-W redefines audio for smart watches, combining compact design with robust performance to meet the demands of next-generation wearables,” said Mike Housholder, xMEMS VP of Marketing and Business Development. “As the wrist becomes a key interface for ears-free, hands-free AI interactions, Sycamore-W empowers manufacturers to deliver premium audio in smaller, lighter more durable devices.”

We’ve seen loads of Apple Watch deals in Black Friday sales, but this refurbished Apple Watch Series 8 looks pretty good. It’s an incredible discount on a smartwatch that tracks your steps, keeps you in the loop with your notifications and offers cellular connectivity.

An update to the Wearable Devices Mudra Band for Apple Watch brings enhanced same-hand, touchless gesture control and task management for users even in older models of the device, the company said Monday. The artificial intelligence-powered functionality complements the band’s existing solutions for iPhone, iPad and other Apple products, it added.

“One of our initial goals with the Mudra Band has been to provide our users with same-hand touchless watch operation, and we are pleased to cater to multiple requests by our customers,” said Asher Dahan, CEO of Wearable Devices. “This is a step forward in AI-based wearable technology, pushing the boundaries of what wearable technology can offer.”

If even the $249 price of the entry-level Apple Watch SE is too high to make you try a smartwatch, take a look at the MagPro instead. This activity-tracking smartwatch packs a lot of fun features into a sleek, modern design.

Purchase the MagPro Smartwatch with a gray, black, tan or teal band for $39.99. No code is needed, but stock is limited. Once we run out, it’s gone for good!

If you don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for an Apple Watch, but are curious about its benefits, check out this $40 starter smartwatch. The CMax Lite Bluetooth Smartwatch is not as slick as Apple’s device, but it does some of the same things: heart rate monitoring, calorie counting, alarms, weather, calendar and more.

The CMax Lite Bluetooth packs a lot into a low-cost package. For just $39.99, you can pick up a smartwatch to use fitness tracking, maximize your connectivity and give you a little more info about what your body’s doing.

A smartwatch like your trusty Apple Watch might be able to screen you for Parkinson’s disease up to 7 years before symptoms would show up if you have it, according to a fascinating new study.

Parkinson’s damages the brain slowly, so early detection via smartwatch could offer treatment advantages as new therapies develop.

Apple Watches are great, but they aren’t exactly cheap. If you’re looking for an Apple Watch alternative that looks stylish and offers a lot of the same features, then try the Chronowatch C-Max Call Time smartwatch.

This low-cost smartwatch comes with 14 features and a slick look. Plus, it’s marked down to $34.97 (regularly $99). No coupon needed.

Garmin unveiled three rugged new fēnix 7 Pro Series smartwatches Wednesday, giving Apple Watch Ultra a run for its money. The new multisport GPS watches have a lot in common with Ultra, including similar pricing depending on which features you select.

But the Garmin watches also offer a built-in LED flashlight and solar charging that helps provide 37 days of battery life in “smartwatch mode” and 139 days in “expedition mode,” according to the company.

The upcoming Apple Watch Ultra garners most of the oohs and aahs, and the Apple Watch SE takes the cake as Cupertino’s best-selling wearable, but gosh darn it, people like the Apple Watch Series 8, too. And by people, I mean reviewers.

Early reviews of Apple Watch Series 8 started coming in Thursday morning. They tend to emphasize that it remains the best smartwatch you can buy, even though its upgrades over the Series 7 seem minimal.

If last week’s Apple Watch Series 8 announcement left you reeling from sticker shock, you might want to reconsider what features you actually need from your smartwatch. For example, this GTS 2 by Amazfit offers plenty of smartwatch features — without the Apple tax.

Usually $99, it’s currently on sale for just $49.99. That’s the best price you can find anywhere online.

Apple Watches are fantastic, but they’re also pretty expensive starting at $399 for a Series 7. Luckily, there are Apple Watch alternatives that get the job done and look great at the same time. The C-Max Chrono-Max Smartwatch is an affordable Apple Watch alternative that comes in black, teal, rose and pink, and for a limited time, all colorways are on sale for $34.99 (regularly $219).

Global sales of smartwatches grew 13% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to last year, with Apple Watch gobbling the largest slice of the pie by far, new research indicates.

For a limited time, the LutiBand Smartwatch is on sale for $99.99 (regularly $169).

A smartwatch doesn’t need to come with a hefty price tag. While it might not boast all the advanced features of the latest Apple Watch Series 7, the ChronoWatch C-Max Call Time smartwatch gets the job done just fine. And it’s definitely a bargain when you consider the Series 7’s starting price of $399.

This affordable smartwatch comes with many common features related to health, fitness, productivity and entertainment. It works with iPhones as well as Android devices. And it’s on sale for just $49.99 (regularly $159).

Withings, maker of health devices and smartwatches, launched its new ScanWatch Horizon wearable on Tuesday. It looks like a classic dive watch but packs modern health and activity tracking, 30-day battery life and Apple Health integration.

It’s not cheap, but there are reasons for that.

Apple Watches are great, but they aren’t the only smartwatches that get the job done and look good. For a limited time, you can get a far less expensive smartwatch that still puts a ton of functionality on your wrist.

The C-Max Chrono-Max Smartwatch is a fine Apple Watch alternative, available in four different colors. And its price just dropped all the way down to $49.99 (regularly $219). That’s a deal you should watch out for.

The most common New Year’s resolution is (you guessed it) to exercise more to improve health and fitness. If that’s your goal for 2022, you’ll have a lot more luck sticking to your resolutions by using a fitness-tracking smartwatch as your accountability buddy.

The Apple Watch is our go-to smartwatch, of course. But if you don’t want to spend hundreds getting into the game, these stylish smartwatches will give you a clear picture of your lifestyle and activities at a glance.

Fitness tracker company Garmin showed a new version of its Venu 2 Plus GPS smartwatch at CES 2022 — and this one let’s you talk to Apple’s voice-activated assistant, Siri. If you’re into that sort of thing.

Or, if you’re among the many folks who seem to prefer other helpers on their devices, you could talk to Google Assistant or Samsung’s Bixby. Previous Garmin smartwatches didn’t allow that. Plus the Venu 2 Plus works with both iOS and Android devices, Garmin said.

If you’re looking for a sleek, high-tech smartwatch to keep you connected to messages, fitness metrics, health vitals and more on the go (and you don’t want the classic Apple Watch), look no further than this C-Max Chrono-Max Smartwatch.

While the latest Apple Watch starts at $399, this sleek smartwatch easily helps you stay as connected — and only costs a fraction of the price. Plus, with Black Friday coupon code BFSAVE20, you can save an extra 20% off.
