Black Friday smartwatch deals and discounts on fitness trackers are guaranteed every year, but some of today's price drops have taken us by surprise. They're not just good, they're pretty damn great. So much so you won't even feel that guilty when you abandon using the fitness features as soon as the really cold weather kicks in!

Samsung Galaxy models, Fitbits, Fossil, Amazfit and co are all getting involved and we expect even more brands and models to pop up over the next few days. As someone that covers deals throughout the year, it's great to see this deals mark the lowest prices on the year on most items. 

It's not just older models seeing some tempting offers, some of last year's models are outrageously cheap now, and I'd be very tempted for example to pick up a Galaxy Watch 4 over the newer Watch 5 given the big difference in price for what turned out to be two quite similar watches. 2022 did seem to be a bit of a year for iterative upgrades rather than anything too drastic on some lines, so why not save a wad of cash? Take a look and stay tuned for more.

Black Friday Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers

Google Pixel Watch | $349 $299 at Best Buy

<a href="https://shop-links.co/link?skuId=6521697&publisher_slug=future&exclusive=1&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fgoogle-pixel-watch-black-stainless-steel-smartwatch-41mm-with-obsidian-active-band-wifi-bt-black-obsidian%2F6521697.p%3FskuId%3D6521697&article_name=hawk-article-name&article_url=hawk-article-url" data-link-merchant="bestbuy.com"">Google Pixel Watch | $349 $299 at Best Buy

The eagerly anticipated <a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/wearables/google-pixel-watch-review" data-link-merchant="androidcentral.com"" data-link-merchant="bestbuy.com"">Google Pixel Watch sure took its sweet time to come out and by the time it did it was a bit more expensive than we expected (caught out by recent inflation woes probably). But this is the first sizable discount we've had at $50 off the MSRP for the lowest price yet. We're big fans of the Pixel Watch here despite that thick bezel- which isn't that noticeable really with most app backgrounds being black too. We'd quite like a larger option next year though.
 

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 40mm | $279 $229 at Walmart

<a href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1943169/565706/9383?subId1=hawk-custom-tracking&sharedId=hawk&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FSamsung-Galaxy-Watch5-40mm-Bluetooth-Graphite%2F1495497452" data-link-merchant="walmart.com"">Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 40mm | $279 $229 at Walmart

Compared to a lot of the <a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/best-android-smartwatch" data-link-merchant="androidcentral.com"" data-link-merchant="walmart.com"">best smartwatches out there, the Galaxy Watch 5 starts off at a very reasonable price, especially with Apple and Samsung swinger-swapping Pro and Ultra titles on new models this year and giving them super high price tags. 

The base Watch 5 is one of the best pound-for-pound options money can buy right now, and it's $50 off today. That's a great deal, but if you can stretch your budget up to $259, you can get the <a href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1943169/565706/9383?subId1=hawk-custom-tracking&sharedId=hawk&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FSamsung-Galaxy-Watch5-44mm-BT-Various-Colors%2F1435452049" data-link-merchant="walmart.com"" data-link-merchant="androidcentral.com"" data-link-merchant="walmart.com"">larger 44mm display version, which makes the world of difference for reading smaller text and readouts on things like step counters or google maps.

Admittedly, this isn't the cheapest that the Galaxy Watch 4 has ever been, but if you've had your eye on the watch for a while, the current deal is pretty tempting.
