Amazon’s Black Friday deals are live early this year, and if you’re looking for a new smartwatch or traditional wristwatch, there’s plenty of great options to choose from. Whether you’re looking for something with great health tracking capabilities like the Apple Watch SE or Apple Watch Series 7, or prefer a great-looking watch from Fossil with some added smart capabilities, now’s a great time to grab something for your loved ones (or yourself, let’s be honest).

On top of all these smartwatch deals, there are plenty of great Armitron deals if you’re looking for an inexpensive non-smart wristwatch for your time-telling needs.

Sport Retro Men’s Multi-Function Digital Bracelet Watch

I’m really fond of this throwback digital watch, based on an early 1970s digital watch from Armitron. It’s hard to imagine now, but having a digital watch was a huge status symbol even into the 1980s.

When shopping for a smartwatch, you generally need to know what type of smartphone the recipient has. For instance, Apple Watch is only compatible with iPhones, while the Samsung Galaxy watches work across iOS and Android devices. Some smartwatches even feature cellular service built-in, allowing you to make and receive phone calls and get alerts without requiring a phone nearby.

Many smartwatches feature some level of fitness tracking, from basic step tracking, to built-in heart rate monitors to keep you and your loved ones better informed about your cardiovascular health. More sophisticated options can track a number of different workouts such as running, hiking, biking, HIIT, yoga, and strength training, just to name a few.
