Fossil Sport — $99 (64% Off)

Those in the market for a breathable and lightweight smartwatch might not need to look further than Fossil’s Sport. It is 40% lighter than any other model with an aluminum case and the 22-millimeter silicone band won’t bite through your skin, even in the course of a sweaty workout as noted in our review. You might even forget you have it on until you have to check your stats. While its touchscreen’s brightness is limited under direct sunlight, it remains to be an optimal choice for everyday use and those headed to the gym. Its 1.2-inch digital OLED display housed in a 43-millimeter case boasts a pixel resolution of 390 x 390 which makes for a colorful screen. What’s more, you wouldn’t have to buy a completely new watch to match it with other outfits, its straps are interchangeable as much as you can personalize its watch face.

Sport is the name of the game, and Fossil’s fitness-centric watch is good to go with an untethered GPS, built-in heart rate monitor, and water resistance to 5ATM that makes it swim-proof. You are instantly equipped to track distance, fine-tune workouts according to your beats per minute, and keep tabs on steps and calories burnt. Fossil may not have its own fitness app but Google Fit set you up with health coaching and goal-setting in the form of Move minutes and Heart Points. You may also opt to download third-party apps if you want more in-depth activity tracking.

The Fossil Sport is geared with Qualcomm’s latest wearable chipset, the Snapdragon Wear 3100 and runs with Google’s redesigned Wear OS. Its interface is now more user-friendly as you’ll only have to swipe and tap instead of having to memorize a ton of gestures. To make navigation all the more fluid, you can turn its rotating crown and utilize the two buttons on its side to trigger custom shortcuts. With 512GB of RAM, apps fire up quickly while 4GB of internal storage allows you to save music and pair it with Bluetooth headphones or earbuds to make the most out of a hands-free experience.

Once the Fossil Sport is synced to a Bluetooth-compatible mobile device, smart notifications for calls, texts, and other app alerts are instantly enabled. And with NFC, you’ll be able to maximize Google Pay for contactless payments. The Apple Watch may be the best smartwatch there is but the Fossil Sport gives power users a win with a 350mAh battery that can last a full day on a single charge and even stretch it up to two days in low power mode. Usually priced at $275, this snazzy wearable can be yours for only $99 with Amazon’s $176 price cut.

Fossil Gen 4 Explorist HR — $149 (46% off)
