WIRED Rounds Up Final Prime Day Wearable Deals, Led by Discounted Apple Watch Series 12
WIRED published an updated roundup of Amazon Prime Day wearable discounts during the final stretch of the sales event, with prices verified by its reviewers. The newest Apple Watch, the Series 12, is discounted by roughly $50 — described as the lowest price seen so far for the model — alongside the Apple Watch SE 3 at $199 ($50 off), which remains the most affordable Apple Watch and is a previous-generation model that Apple did not refresh this year. Google's Fitbit Charge 6 drops to $90 ($70 off), offering heart rate, blood oxygen, and skin temperature tracking, while the cheaper Fitbit Inspire 3 falls to $70 but omits built-in GPS, NFC, and half the exercise modes of the Charge 6. The latest Google Pixel Watch, released in summer and the second repairable Pixel Watch, is $65 off in a 41 mm Wi-Fi configuration. Samsung's Galaxy Watch8 is $209 ($91 off) and the Watch7 is $159 ($91 off, $221 less than the Watch9), though both lack newer metrics such as Antioxidant Index and Heart Health Score. The CMF Watch 3 Pro, the budget pick, is $59 ($20 off) with dual-band GPS and a retro-futuristic design. Additional markdowns include the Amazfit Active Max at $140, Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro at $330, Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) at $530, Garmin Instinct 3 (AMOLED) at $350, Garmin Venu X1 at $700, and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra at $478. The list was updated October 7 with new deals from Google Fitbit, Amazfit, Garmin, and Samsung, and removed products no longer on sale.
