Black Friday smartwatch deals: the top Apple Watch, Wear OS and Fitbit sales

If you're looking for a Black Friday smartwatch deal you've come to the right place, because we've scoured the sales and delved into the discounts to find all the best price cuts on wearables. 

Loads of the deals we've found were put live in the early Black Friday deals, and others are part of the proper event itself, but they're all great and worthy of your consideration. That's whether you're looking for an Apple Watch, a Samsung Galaxy device, a Garmin wearable, a Fitbit tracker or something else.

Some of these Black Friday smartwatch deals are on super-new devices, others show huge discounts on otherwise-expensive watches, so if you want a new wrist-mounted powerhouse, there will definitely be something below for you.

These great deals are here despite the fact Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren't even here yet - but since retailers got their smartwatch sales on early, we can already see what the money off looks like.

If you've been thinking about buying a smartwatch in these Black Friday deals, and see something you like below, bear in mind it might sell out, so it might be worth acting fast.

If you're looking to buy other pieces of tech, we've also got guides on the best Black Friday tablet deals, Black Friday phone deals or even Black Friday Lego deals and toy deals if you want to treat yourself.
