That said, if these limitations don’t matter to you, the SE 3 is an excellent choice, especially with current promotions making it $50 less than the Series 11’s discounted price.

The Best Smartwatch for Android Owners

The Google Pixel Watch 4 is the best smartwatch for Android users. As the first repairable smartwatch from Google, you can swap out the battery and the gorgeous, domed display if necessary, using parts from iFixit. The wellness features—including heart-rate tracking, blood oxygen sensing, and the revamped sleep tracking—are accurate and highly reliable. With the cellular version, there’s even support for satellite messaging during emergencies. According to editor Julian Chokkattu, the best new feature is the Raise to Talk with Gemini. There are also a few features exclusive to Pixel phones, like AI-powered smart replies and call screening. The battery performance is great, lasting around a day and a half, and with quick charging, you can easily gain over 50 percent power in just 15 minutes.

The Best Smartwatch for Samsung Loyalists

The Galaxy Watch 8 stands out as the best choice for Samsung owners. Its distinctive “squircle” design makes for a big, bright display that strikes an aesthetic balance between Apple’s square and Google’s round designs. It shines in health and fitness tracking, including dependable heart rate monitoring, solid sleep tracking with sleep apnea notifications, and accurate automatic workout detection. New features, like the Antioxidant Index and Vascular Load, are intriguing but somewhat dubious. Plus, there’s dual-frequency GPS for accurate mapping and access to the Gemini assistant.

A Discounted Smartwatch for Outdoor Activities

If you love running or hiking in the great outdoors, this is the fitness tracker for you. It has a super-long battery life, bright mapping, and the navigation tools you need to be phone-free while exercising outdoors. This model is ideal for athletes because you also get support for nearly every sport, most notably Garmin’s proprietary off-grid maps, which include SkiView for ski resorts and golf course maps. There are leak-proof buttons and useful extras like a built-in flashlight, speaker, and microphone for hands-free use with voice commands. This model even serves as a mini guide with dynamic routing—you just need to enter how far you want to run or walk, and the watch creates a route that gets you back to your starting point on time. —Molly Higgins

A Discounted Fitness Tracker for Beginners

Even after all our testing, we still think the Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the best entry-level fitness trackers because it offers basic health-tracking features without overwhelming a newbie with data. Its heart rate tracking works as well as more expensive models, and it can even connect to compatible gym equipment like Peloton bikes and NordicTrack treadmills. Although it’s a few years old, it’s still a solid option if you want a tracker with a screen, built-in GPS, and basic health data. —Molly Higgins

A Fitness Tracker That Looks Like a Classic Watch

If you’re like me and think that, in general, fitness trackers are ugly, you may like the Withings ScanWatch 2, which looks like a classic analog watch. However, rest assured it’s still a fitness tracker with a comprehensive suite of health features, including the new temperature tracker and Cardio Check-Up; and HealthSense 4, which features advanced algorithms that use predictive AI to anticipate health events, like getting sick or when your period is coming. Plus, it has a battery life of 22 days with regular use (or 30 days with light use). —Molly Higgins

A Discounted Heart Rate Monitor

If you’re an endurance athlete who wants to track and measure your heart rate more accurately during intense aerobic exercise, you’ll want a dedicated heart rate monitor like this discounted Polar H10. It’s comfortable and dependable, with no drop-outs and no under- or overreporting of data. The device also uses a buckle connector rather than traditional loop straps, which feel more secure and comfortable, especially during long workouts. It includes built-in memory, so it can store workout data without staying connected to your phone; ANT+ connectivity lets you pair it with compatible fitness equipment; and it has a replaceable battery that can last up to a year. —Molly Higgins

The Best Walking Pad Is $140 Off

The Urevo CyberPad is our top choice for a walking pad, primarily because of its 14-percent incline—the highest we’ve seen in our testing. According to WIRED reviewer Kristin Canning, setup is a breeze, and you can easily control it via its remote or app. She appreciates the sturdy build and comfortable belt, which together ensure a solid workout experience. With a maximum speed of 4 mph and an adjustable incline that reaches either 9 or 14 percent, depending on how you position it, it offers enough versatility for walking. While it may not be the quietest option, it’s not disruptive if you’re working or reading. Weighing in at 71 pounds, it provides stability, but it might not be the easiest to move around; the included wheels help with portability, though.

C2 Foldable Walking Treadmill

We like this compact, foldable walking pad that fits snugly under your standing desk or can be folded up and stored when not in use. This one has a stable, durable feel, and its long, heavy design makes it ideal for taller folks and longer strides. You can adjust settings like speed with the remote or the app, and you can check your time, speed, distance, calories, and steps on the large display. The app also offers workouts that automatically adjust the speed to your pace using sensors under the belt. The machine just feels like it will have a long lifespan—read our review here. —Molly Higgins

Urevo

Strol 2S Pro Treadmill

This walking pad actually doubles as a treadmill and feels shockingly stable underfoot for how lightweight it is, especially since most lightweight walking pads feel a little shaky when running at higher speeds. You can connect via remote or app, but there’s also a handy display on the front of the machine that cycles between time, distance, calories, incline, and speed. The handle bar has a display as well, and you can control the machine’s basic functions from there. There’s even a tablet holder you can attach to your tablet to watch your shows while walking or jogging! This durable machine is a great value, at regular price, made even sweeter with a $226 discount. —Molly Higgins

You Need a Percussive Massage Gun

The Hyperice Hypervolt 2 is the best-value massage gun on the market. It’s under $200 and lighter than most Theraguns, weighing just 1.8 pounds. Thanks to its 60-watt brushless motor, it still delivers robust power with three speeds of percussion and a three-hour battery life. The pressure sensor guides your intensity, and the patented QuietGlide technology keeps noise to a minimum. Its Bluetooth connectivity syncs with the Hyperice app, enabling you to follow guided routines and adjust settings right from your phone. Plus, it comes equipped with five head attachments: fork, ball, cushion, flat, and bullet.

Best Budget Massage Gun

LifePro

Sonic Handheld Percussion Massage Gun

This affordable massage gun has eight attachments, including: round for sore muscles, shovel for back pain, flat for a deep tissue massage experience, air for sensitive areas, wishbone for joints and hard-to-reach muscle groups, bullet for trigger points, spinal to loosen up the lower back, and a textured tip for muscle pain relief. Because it’s a budget model, it doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles like an LCD screen, but you do get five speeds and a battery indicator. Even at its normal $60 price tag, it’s hundreds less than comparable models, but at only $42, it’s a steal. —Molly Higgins

The Most Affordable Theragun Is $60 Off

The Theragun Relief is the most affordable Theragun and is cheaper than the Hyperice Hypervolt 2. Despite its budget-friendly price, it matches the power of many of its pricier competitors. There are three adjustable speed settings. It lacks an LCD screen and Therbody app connectivity for device control, but it’s a one-button operation that’s refreshing to use. It doesn’t come with a travel lock or storage case, but you do get three attachments: standard ball, dampener, and thumb. At $100, it’s practically a steal.

Therabody

Theragun Pro Plus

This model is one of the most advanced percussive guns on the market, and that’s why we recommend it for athletes or folks dealing with chronic muscle pain. Along with massage therapy, the Pro Plus also features vibrations, heat, and near-infrared LED light to optimize muscle recovery and pain relief. During testing, we liked the easy-to-read OLED screen with a force meter display, and the built-in biometric sensor for heart rate tracking, which would be valuable for competitive athletes. —Molly Higgins

The Best Portable Massage Gun Is $30 Off

This Mini Plus model offers a compact size that’s great for travel or just popping into your gym bag without adding too much weight. It also comes with a carrying case and has a built-in travel lock, so it won’t accidentally power on in the gym or airport. Plus, this li’l guy offers heated percussive therapy—three heat settings warming up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit to target sore muscles. There are also three massage speeds. Therabody’s triangular ergonomic design makes it easier for me to grip, handle, and reach hard-to-reach trigger points and different muscle groups with better control. As a bonus, the Mini Plus is also compatible with Therabody’s Vibration Plus and Cold Plus attachments (both sold separately). —Molly Higgins

The Best Compression Boots Are $250 Off

Therabody’s JetBoots Pro Plus is our favorite pair of compression boots. In addition to pneumatic compression therapy, they also use vibration and infrared LED therapies to support a more effective recovery process. The JetBoots Pro Plus are designed to increase blood circulation, flush out lactic acid, and reduce inflammation. They’re fully wireless and available in three sizes. They’re also easy to control via the LCD screen and feature preset routines tailored to warm-ups and recoveries.
