Fitness trackers can be useful for reaching your wellness goals and monitoring your health. They keep track of your daily activity, heart rate, sleeping patterns, workout details and other measurables that affect your well-being. They also make great holiday gifts.
We've rounded up the best post-Prime Day deals on fitness trackers so you can take your pick. Some of the products mentioned below, like the Apple Watch Series 9 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, are previous-generation models.

Learn more about how to pick out the right smartwatch in our full buying guide.
Best extended Prime Day fitness tracker deals
The Apple Watch Series 9 may have just been replaced by the Series 10, but it's still an excellent fitness tracker in 2024.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. This watch also can help you track different types of activities like walking, running, pilates, cycling and so much more. It also monitors your sleeping patterns as well. Since it's an Apple product, it features Siri to give you a hands-free experience.
Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra gives Android users a big, tough watch with built-in LTE, WearOS 5 and a suite of health and fitness tools. It's more than $100 off at Amazon right now.
Samsung's newest flagship smartwatch comes with improved heart-rate tracking, the ability to monitor your sleep and many more health features. At less than $300, this Amazon Prime Day discount is a solid deal on Samsung's newest watch.
Select configurations of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are discounted as low as $735 at Amazon right now, including the just-released black titanium model. It's Apple's big-screen, rugged sports watch and offers a battery life that lasts several days.
This Galaxy Watch 6 by Samsung is perfect for those who want in-depth health tracking. It comes with the basics like heart rate, oxygen and sleep monitoring as well as ECG.

Keep in mind, the price slightly varies by color.
More post-Prime Day deals on fitness trackers
- Amazfit Bip 5 smartwatch: $66 (save $24). 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 a win. It has GPS, heart rate and activity tracking, plus it 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, a nice AMOLED screen and key activity tracking features, but it leaves out heart health features of fancier Garmins.
- Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar smartwatch: $510 (save $89). 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.

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.

When was Amazon's October Prime Day 2024?
Amazon's Prime Day event was held on Oct. 8 and 9 this year. Some deals are still lingering. We can't say how long these will last, so it's best to shop quickly before they disappear.
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.
