If running is your primary focus, the Garmin Forerunner 55 is the name of the game for a no-nonsense budget watch. Right now, it's available for $169, 15% off its retail price of $199.99.

What makes it special? The Forerunner 55 delivers GPS accuracy that rivals watches twice its price, along with running-specific features like cadence monitoring, suggested workouts, and race predictors. The battery lasts up to two weeks in smartwatch mode, which means you're not constantly hunting for a charger. It's lightweight, comfortable for all-day wear, and doesn't overwhelm you with features you'll never use.

Best overall value: Garmin Venu Sq 2

The Garmin Venu Sq 2 strikes the perfect balance between features and affordability. During Big Deal Days, it's available for $149.99, a substantial 40% off its list price of 249.99.

This watch brings a bright AMOLED display (a rarity in this price range), comprehensive health tracking, including sleep monitoring and Body Battery energy tracking, and over 25 sport modes. What really sets it apart is Garmin's ecosystem: accurate GPS, detailed workout analysis, and smartphone notifications that actually work reliably. The battery life is solid at 11 days.

Best Apple option: Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen)

For iPhone users, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is seeing a 32% discount, bringing its price down from $249 to just $169.99 during Prime Day. It's Apple's budget option, but it doesn't feel like a compromise.

You get fall detection, crash detection, heart rate monitoring, and seamless integration with your iPhone's ecosystem. The fitness tracking covers all the basics well, though it lacks the advanced metrics runners might want. Battery life remains the weakest point at roughly 18 hours, meaning daily charging is necessary. But if you're already in the Apple ecosystem and want that smooth integration, the SE is your best bet under $200.

Best for Android users: Google Pixel Watch 3

Right now the Google Pixel Watch 3 is available for $199.99, a 20% discount off its list price of $250. That pricing applies to the 41-millimeter, wifi-only version. Both sizes of the wifi-only model are about $70 off, and both sizes of the LTE model are $100 off, like this 41-millimeter LTE version discounted to $250, down from $350.

The Pixel Watch 3 is best suited for anyone who wants a smartwatch that simply does fitness tracking well, rather than a fitness watch with a ton of smart features (like a Garmin). Still, the Pixel 3 is a stronger choice than previous Pixel models, featuring a brighter screen and two screen sizes (large wrists rejoice, since one of them is 45 mm). The battery life is better than previous Pixels, with my testing resulting in a longer life than the promised 36 hours.

Best Samsung value: Galaxy Watch 7 (40mm)

The Galaxy Watch 7 has dropped down to $149.99, a 40% markdown from its list price of $249.99. The Galaxy Watch 7 came out in 2024 to an "excellent" review from PCMag for its accurate heart rate measurement, detailed sleep monitoring data tracking, AI health insights, and overall smooth user experience. Just remember that it works best within the Samsung ecosystem.

Best budget Fitbit: Fitbit Charge 6

While it feels like Fitbit's smartwatches have largely been replaced by Google's Pixel Watch line, the Fitbit Charge 6 is a solid option available for just $104.45 right now (down 35% from its list price of 159.95). It's technically a fitness band, not a watch, but it punches above its weight class.

You get accurate heart rate tracking, seven days of battery life, and a built-in GPS. The stress management tools and sleep tracking are among the best in the business. If you don't need a full smartwatch experience and just want excellent fitness tracking, the Charge 6 is a steal.

Best for Fitbit loyalists: Fitbit Versa 4

The Fitbit Versa 4 is available for $132.95, a 34% discount off its list price of $199.95. It offers built-in GPS, 40+ exercise modes, and that legendary Fitbit sleep tracking. Battery life extends to six days, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. The downside? Limited app support and no music storage. But for straightforward fitness tracking with Fitbit's strong software, it's still a solid choice.

Best rugged alternative: Amazfit Bip 5

If the T-Rex 3 is sold out, consider the Amazfit Bip 5, available for just $68.55, 24% off its list price of $89.99. It's lightweight, offers 10-day battery life, and includes Alexa voice control.

The Bip 5 won't impress hardcore athletes, but it covers the basics admirably: GPS, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and over 120 sports modes. The large 1.91-inch display is easy to read, and it's surprisingly comfortable for 24/7 wear. Think of it as your gateway fitness watch that won't break the bank.

Alternative runner's choice: Suunto Run

The Suunto Run is available for $199, a nice 20% off its list price of $249. This one is more of a niche pick for runners who want simplicity without sacrificing quality. Suunto's GPS accuracy is legendary in running circles, and this watch strips away unnecessary features to focus on what matters.

You get detailed running metrics, route navigation, and excellent battery life. The trade-off? Limited smartwatch features and a smaller app ecosystem compared to Garmin. But if you're a runner first and a smartwatch user second, Suunto's focus might appeal to you.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart and Best Buy have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don't have Amazon Prime.
