If you're looking for Prime Day Apple Watch deals, we expect to see discounts from Amazon and other third-party retailers on the Apple Watch 9, the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the Apple Watch SE. Apple Watch deals are some of the most popular offers during Prime Day, so we recommend acting fast if you see a price you like.

You'll also be able to find deals on Fitbit, with discounts on the latest models, like the Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4, and record-low prices on older models. Other brands to look out for include Garmin, Google and Samsung.

Our top-rated Garmin watch is now £90 cheaper - not a record low (it's been down to £235 before), but still a substantial saving. For us, the Venu 2S provides the perfect balance of lifestyle and fitness capabilities: enough GPS and Garmin Connect credentials to satisfy runners and riders, but attractive enough for everyday wear.
