Your ultimate guide to finding the best wearable tech deals this Black Friday
Black Friday may have officially come and gone, but all the best deals we’ve seen on smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart rings are generally still available as we head into Cyber Monday.
While plenty of sites and retailers list every device on their live blogs and trackers, we’re not doing that here. At Wareable, we only care about the best devices—the ones we’ve spent weeks, months, and years testing. Our job is to help you quickly down the funnel to the exact right wearable for your wrist, finger, ear, or… face.
This live blog is a commitment to quality over volume: we’re here to cut through the noise and deliver only genuine, verifiable, great deals on the best smartwatches, smart rings, and fitness trackers.
Wareable’s Black Friday live blog ground rules:
We’re sticking to a few rules to ensure this is the only deals blog you need to check if you’re on the hunt for an Apple smartwatch, Oura smart ring, new Garmin, or something else entirely:
- Editor vetted: Any deal here has been personally approved by a Wareable editor
- The price is right: We only flag the lowest price of the year, or a price drop so significant it redefines the device’s value
- No old junk: We won’t post a discount on a wearable that we didn’t rate highly at launch, or a device that has been superseded to the point of irrelevance
- No fluff: We’ll tell you exactly who should buy the device and why this specific deal matters
When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025?
Black Friday was officially on Friday, November 28th, 2025.
However, though that date has officially come and gone, last-chance deals are still available thanks to Cyber Monday (Monday, December 1st). Let’s explain what we’ve seen so far:
Early bird & price matching (been and gone)
As expected, Amazon, Best Buy, and other major retailers offered “Black Friday Week” or “Early Access” deals. We’ve seen plenty of great deals so far, and that momentum continues through Black Friday weekend and into Cyber Monday (if anyone still calls it that).
The core weekend (November 28th – December 1st)
Major retailers continue to discount last-generation favorites, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and the Google Pixel Watch 3. We’ve also seen plenty of offers on new-gen devices for 2025, like the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Our tips for scoring the best deals
- Read the Wareable live blog. Yes, we’re being intentionally repetitive.
- Know your price. Do a quick check before clicking. If you see a $400 watch marked down from $500, but it was already on sale for $410 last month, it isn’t the “hot deal” that’s being claimed.
- Check different SKUs: Smartwatches often come in multiple sizes (e.g., 42mm and 46mm) and color variations, and not all SKUs receive the same discounts. Often, one size gets a much bigger discount than the other.
- Buy now or wait? If the deal is on an older flagship (Fenix 7, Epix 2, Oura Gen 3), the price is likely as low as it will go. If it’s on a current-gen device (Pixel Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 8), the price might drop slightly more in next month’s holiday sales.
