Score an Apple Watch Series 7 From $230 Today Only

This one-day sale offers refurb Apple Watch models at a fraction of their original price.

Apple makes some of thebest smartwatches on the market, but they aren’t the most affordable devices out there. If you’re new to wearables or you just don’t have the budget for the current flagship models, you can avoid spending a fortune by opting for an older or refurbished Apple Watch. And Woot is giving you the opportunity to do just that today with a one-day sale on previous-gen Apple Watch Series 7 devices, dropping prices down as low as $230 for these refurbished models.

See at Woot

As the names would suggest, the Series 7 has been supplanted in the lineup by 2022’s Apple Watch Series 8. But just because it’s a year older, the Series 7 is no slouch by today’s standards. In fact, when comparing the Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8, we found relatively few notable differences between the two for real world usage.

You can use the Series 7 to track your exercise, blood oxygen levels, sleep and much more. You can even take an ECG to check your heart rhythm. It has essentially the same display as the Series 8 which allows for larger buttons in apps and a full QWERTY keyboard, making this watch easier to use than its predecessors. The battery lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge, and the Series 7 also has fast charging, so you can top off and get back to what matters without missing a beat.

The main catch with the Woot deal is that the products on offer there may have a little wear and tear, such as scratches, dents or dings. Other than that, they are in full working condition with batteries guaranteed to function at 85% capacity or more. A 90-day warranty is also provided. Various colors and sizes are available, as well as cellular-enabled variants, though some models may sell out much sooner than the slated end for this sale.

If you have a little more room in your budget and would prefer to go for a brand new device, Walmart has select cellular-enabled Apple Watch Series 7 models on sale from $279.

Adorn Your Wrist With a 45mm Pixel Watch 3 for Just $200 This Black Friday

Both Amazon and Walmart are selling Google’s Pixel Watch 3 for just $200, but for how long?

There are tons of reasons to pick up a new smartwatch, not the least of which is monitoring your health and tracking your fitness goals. If you’re in the Android world, there are plenty of options to choose from right now. The Pixel Watch 3 is a solid choice, and it was our favorite Android smartwatch until the new Pixel Watch 4 took its place in the lineup. But the Watch 3 still boasts some great features that can help you stay on top of your wellness goals into the new year as well. And both Amazon and Walmart are running Black Friday deals that make it significantly cheaper than the Pixel Watch 4.

Both retailers are selling the bigger 45mm model with a solid $100 discount, so you can pick one up for just $200. That’s $100 less than the Pixel Watch 4’s Black Friday price. Again, this offer is available at both Walmart and Amazon, so take your pick as to where you place your order. Just do it soon because we don’t know how long these Black Friday deals will last.

The impressive watch was previously our top Android smartwatch because of its attractive design, large screen and speedy charging. It no longer requires a Fitbit Premium membership to access your readiness score, and it has plenty of great tools for runners. However, although the watch comes with Google Assistant, it doesn’t include Gemini, Google’s AI.

Lisa Eadicicco, a former senior editor, said in her CNET review, «The Pixel Watch 3’s upgrades are enough to keep it as my top pick for a general-purpose Android smartwatch. If you’re anything like me and consider yourself a casual runner in need of a general-purpose Android watch that’s sleek and comfortable, the Pixel Watch 3 won’t disappoint.»

If this isn’t the Pixel Watch for you, take a look at our full roundup on the best Pixel Watch deals going on right now.

Why this deal matters

Google Watches don’t go on sale often. These rare discounts on the Pixel Watch 3 are thanks to the release of the Pixel Watch 4 earlier this year. This deal drops the 45mm model to just $200 — a new all-time low, and a strong value for one of the most versatile Android smartwatches available.
