Okay so Black Friday — and the Thanksgiving holiday — is now behind us. That doesn’t mean all the great deals on wearable devices and smartwatches are over. We still have Cyber Monday — which is going on right now, and of course all the upcoming Christmas holiday deals that will be launching soon.
Since Cyber Monday isn’t over just yet — quite a few deals will be available until at least midnight tonight — we decided it’s a great idea to share some of the best deals out there with all of you. If you missed some of the great Black Friday deals on wearables and smartwatches then don’t fret, there’s plenty more where that came from!
Let’s get started.
The Best Cyber Monday Smartwatch and Wearable Deals!
Here are some of the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deals currently available. Act fast, because these will probably expire by midnight tonight (12/1/2014) possibly even sooner!
Best Buy: LG G Watch ($79)
At $79, the original LG G Watch may not be the best Android Wear smartwatch on the market but it’s certainly a steal at that price! Best Buy is offering LG’s premiere smartwatch as part of their Cyber Monday smartwatch one-day only sale. Just in case you’re not familiar with the device, that’s about $150 off the regular price.
We reviewed the LG G Watch shortly after it came out, and while it had it’s shortcomings it’s still a great device. For $79, you really can’t beat it. If you want to see more on it, check out our LG G Watch revew or head on over to Best Buy’s website to order one.
Amazon: Sony Smartwatch 3 (£169) UK ONLY
Unfortunately, this Cyber Monday smartwatch deal is only available for our friends across the pond over in the UK. Amazon is offering Sony’s latest and greatest smartwatch, the Sony Smartwatch 3 for £169 as one of their Cyber Monday specials.
The Smartwatch 3 is a great fitness tracking companion, that also happens to include some basic smartwatch functions – such as notification and message support. Most notably, it includes an integrated GPS radio for location tracking and more. It is also powered by Google’s Android Wear OS similar to the LG G Watch, among several other devices.
Jawbone UP24 (Multiple Deals)
If you’re looking to pick up Jawbone’s UP24 fitness tracker then there are a couple great deals available for you whether you live in the UK or the US.
In the U.S. you can pick up a Jawbone UP24 for $99.99 through the official manufacturer’s site, which is about $30 off the full price of the device. If you’re in the UK, you can nab the Jawbone UP24 from Boots for £49.99 which is 50% off the original price. Yes, that’s a fantastic deal. If for some reason you don’t make it over to Boots in time — or they run out of stock — there’s another deal through Mobile Fun for £69.99.
The Jawbone UP24 does not include a touchscreen display, or LED display of any kind. Instead it tracks basic fitness and health data and then displays it via a connected mobile app. Keep in mind, this is Jawbone’s release from last year and there are two more devices hitting shelves real soon.
That said, these are some great discounts for older products that will function just fine.
Misfit Flash and Shine (Multiple Deals)
The Misfit devices actually made it into our Black Friday deals roundup, so it’s definitely surprising to see them return here. The Misfit Flash and Shine are small clip-on devices that allow users to track fitness and health data. They can also be attached to a wriststrap like mount, and worn just like a smartwatch. They do not include a display or touchscreen interface, but instead show alerts through LED indicators and lights.
You can snag the Misfit Flash — the cheaper of the two devices — for $24.99. That’s an absolutely ridiculous price for the thing, seeing as it’s a fantastic, and highly usable fitness tracker. The more expensive variant, the Misfit Shine is available for $79.99. Of particular note in the more expensive model is the aluminum (metal) body that is more durable than it’s sister model. Both of these deals are available through Misfit’s official store.
There’s no word on whether or not these deals are available outside the US, however you can also pick up the Shine on Amazon for £57.09.
Mobile Fun: LG G Watch R (£199)
Sadly, this is another deal available in the UK only — which leaves us more than just a little jealous. If you’re looking for something a little more attractive and round, then the LG G Watch R is on sale over at Mobile Fun. We reviewed the G Watch R not too long ago, which is a noticeable improvement of the original G Watch. It’s still running the Android Wear OS, but this time around it includes a beautiful round display instead of the same boxy, rectangular design of its predecessor.
The deal is for 10% off the original price, clocking in at £199. That’s not bad at all considering the G Watch R is still relatively new to market. The biggest positive to the G Watch R over the similarly designed Moto 360, is that the former uses the entire screen real estate. The Moto 360 on the other hand has a small bottom sliver of the screen that remains blank, and unusable thanks to integrated sensors.
As an aside, if you’re wondering yes the G Watch R can double as a viable fitness tracker.
Amazon: TomTom Fitness Watches ($99-$149 or £95-£110)
We haven’t had much exposure to TomTom’s fitness tracking watches — which include the Runner and the Multi-Sport — however, they seem to be more than capable trackers. The TomTom Runner is for… well, runners while the TomTom Multi-Sport is for cyclists and triathletes.
Amazon is offering a deal on TomTom’s fitness tracking watches in both the US and the UK, so it doesn’t matter where you hail you should be able to find a great deal. You can get the TomTom Runner for $99, or the TomTom Multi-Sport for $149. Those prices are about $50 off the original prices respectively. In the UK, the TomTom Runner is £94.99 down from £120, and the TomTom Multi-Sport is £110 down from £150. Needless to say, they are some great deals for what appear to be great devices.
Wal-mart: GoPro Hero3+ ($249)
While it may not be a smartwatch, or even a fitness tracking wearable the GoPro camera is an excellent wearable headcam. It allows you to film in HD from whatever vantage point you decide to mount the camera at. There are tons of different mounts available too including ones for your pet, head, back and more.
Wal-mart is offering the GoPro Hero3+ for $249 during their Cyber Monday sale. That’s a $50 discount off the regular price. If you’re a high-flyer, or adrenaline junkie then this wearable is perfect for you. It won’t deliver any notifications or alerts to your wrist, but that’s okay. It can record in Full HD all those badass stunts you usually play out.
That’s It for Cyber Monday Smartwatch Deals
Please keep in mind Cyber Monday deals will probably expire by midnight tonight (12/1/2014), so if you’re looking at this post at a later date or time you might be out of luck. You never know though, some of these brands, retailers and companies may continue to offer the great deals for a little longer.
Did you pick up any wearables or smartwatches for Black Friday or Cyber Monday? What did you get and what kind of deal were you offered? Did we miss any great deals that you know about? Feel free to share!
The moto 360 is $149 down from $299 for cyber monday. Just picked one up. Google had them for $99 but they sold out.
