We found plenty on sale and highlighted the best picks below. Not all of the deals are related to New Year\u2019s resolutions, though; there are also a number of other worthwhile deals worth checking out. Despite the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/836627\/ces-2026-news-gadgets-announcements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consumer Electronics Show<\/a> wrapping up earlier this week, we\u2019re already seeing deals roll in, for example.

It covers most of the health and fitness features people need and then some, with continuous heart rate and blood oxygen tracking, in addition to menstrual cycle tracking. You also get offline maps with turn-by-turn navigation and up to nine days of battery life \u2014 far longer than most smartwatches. It looks stylish, too, thanks to its stainless steel case and 2,000-nit OLED display that makes it seem more expensive than it is.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/smartwatch-review\/608342\/amazfit-active-2-review-budget-smartwatch-wearables-fitness-tracker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our full Amazfit Active 2 review<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Amazfit Active 2<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/257523_Amazfit_Active_2_AKrales_0080.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Close up view of the Amazfit Active 2\u2019s screen which shows a retro-styled watch face with a bright blue background behind the product.\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DT3YNMBX\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$99.99<\/strike> $84.99 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/product\/amazfit-active-2-smartwatch-44mm-silicone-black-2025\/J3R84J7HF8\/sku\/6631720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$99.99<\/strike> $84.99 at <strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/amazfit-active-2-round-smartwatch-black-silicone-sport\/-\/A-94675542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$99.99<\/strike> $84.99 at <strong>Target<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/852742\/anker-nano-charger-prime-wireless-charging-station-power-strip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">being introduced at CES 2026 just this week<\/a>, <strong>Anker\u2019s latest 45W Nano Charger<\/strong> is already on sale ahead of its release on January 20th.
