The best early Prime Day fitness tracker deals on Garmin, Apple Watch, and Fitbit
Amazon's Prime Day has quickly become one of the biggest retail events of the year. So much so that there are two a year. October's event is set to kick off next week, Oct. 7, but with so much anticipation for a bargain, Amazon has already released some early deals.
Yep, a whole week early, you can find early Prime Day deal stamps across TVs, earbuds, and even high-end fitness trackers, including Garmin, Apple, and Fitbit. So if you need a new watch to track your 5K or monitor your sleep, we've rounded up some of Amazon's best early deals on fitness trackers.
Best Garmin deal
Why we like it
The Garmin vívoactive 5 was recently replaced as the newest model by the vívoactive 6, but the 5 still holds a special place in our hearts. This is what we'd call a perfect all-rounder fitness tracker, perfect for tracking long runs and cycles while also still having a great range of lifestyle features like sleep tracking, stress levels, and body battery. It's also a vast improvement over the vívoactive 4, and even has a bright AMOLED display, making it appear even more high-tech.

Best Apple Watch deal
Why we like it
You can't go wrong with an Apple Watch, especially if you're an iPhone user. With the recent release of the Apple Watch 11, the 10 has naturally gone down in price, which ups the appeal as well. And for fitness and lifestyle tracking, there's a whole lot to shout about this watch: ECG, fall detection, and cycle tracking, to name just a few. The sleep tracking is fairly advanced too, and the sleep apnea notifications are a bonus. Go on, close those rings.

Best Fitbit deal
Why we like it
I frequently cite the Fitbit 4 as my favorite Fitbit model, and for good reason. If you're looking for a fitness tracker that does a bit of everything, without breaking the bank, this is a stellar choice. It's got a neat design, controlled by a responsive touchscreen. Activity tracking covers just about anything, from running, swimming, cycling, and general workout sessions. It also gives you a sleep score each morning, presented alongside a breakdown of time spent in light, deep, and REM sleep. For short to medium runs, basic lifestyle tracking, and style, this is a fantastic budget option.
