The Apple Watch Series 9 may have just been replaced by the Series 10, but it’s still an excellent fitness tracker in 2024. It has a built-in temperature and ECG sensor.

Since it’s an Apple product, it features Siri to give you a hands-free experience.

More Prime Day deals on fitness trackers
- Amazfit Bip 5 smartwatch: $66 (save $23). This Amazfit model is a budget smartwatch, so it won’t compete with a Garmin or Apple Watch, but getting a smartwatch that is at all functional for this sort of price is crazy. It has GPS, heart rate and activity tracking, plus can sync with apps like Strava. It also has a 10-day battery life.
- Garmin Vivoactive 5: $250 (save $50). Designed as an Apple Watch SE competitor, the Vivoactive 5 offers a svelte design, nice AMOLED screen and key activity tracking features, but it leaves out heart health features of fancier Garmins.
- Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar smartwatch: $480 (save $120). In our review, we praised this model’s battery life and Morning Report feature, but we were put off by the price. Thankfully that concern is assuaged with this deal.
- Fitbit Ace LTE: $171 (save $59). Score a new all-time low price on this kid-focused smartwatch. It’s equipped with 4G for connectivity on the go, and it’s designed to be set up as a standalone device without the need to be paired to a phone — ideal for parents who want to be able to communicate with or track younger kids who aren’t ready for a mobile phone of their own.
- Fitbit Luxe special edition: $100 (save $100). This fitness tracker is disguised as jewelry with a gold body and fancy link bracelet band, but it still has all of the Fitbit tracking you need to keep tabs on your wellness goals.

How does October Prime Day compare to July Prime Day?
There are lots of similarities between the two sales. Many of the same deals return during the October sale, especially on Amazon’s own devices, such as Blink and Ring home security devices, Fire TVs and tablets, Echo devices and more.
The main difference is related to the timing of the sale. Since July Prime Day is in the summer, there’s more focus on back-to-school and outdoor deals. This includes school supplies, grills, lawnmowers and more. During October Prime Day, we see more deals geared toward the upcoming holiday season, such as kitchenware for a Thanksgiving meal or kids toys and games for Christmas.
