Best early Labor Day smartwatch deals 2025: Sales on Apple, Google, and Samsung watches

How did we choose these deals? 

I only write about products I have tested myself, know is from a reliable brand, and would recommend to my friends and family. I have no interest in writing about junky products you’ll buy and regret spending money on. As a wearables editor, I’m constantly reading and writing news about interesting products, scrolling through Reddit threads to see what users have to say about these products, and testing them out for myself. 

So when I’m choosing deals, I have a low tolerance for garbage (and garbage discounts). You can trust that I’m only including products worth buying. 

When will these deals expire?

Should I buy a smartwatch or a smart ring?

If you are more focused on sleep tracking, I’d suggest a smart ring, as it’s lighter and less bulky than a smartwatch around your wrist. It also won’t distract you with pings as you’re trying to fall asleep. If you’re an active person who lifts weights and runs – and you want to track these things with a health tracker – a smartwatch will be a better fit. Its GPS is better, and you can lift weights with it (I take my smart ring off as soon as I hit the weight training room — it’s dangerous to lift weights with a ring on). Or, you can be a crazy person like me and buy both devices for activity and sleep tracking!
