Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is at its lowest price ever in this early Prime Day deal
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra has been out for nearly a year and it's one of the best smartwatches you can get. A sequel is likely to launch soon, but if you're looking for a bargain — this early Prime Day deal is for you.
Right now you can get the Galaxy Watch Ultra (47mm/LTE) for just $399 at Amazon. That's the lowest price we've seen yet, knocking $250 off the normal price.
Samsung's high-end smartwatch is under $400 for the first time ever with this early Prime Day deal, but only for the Titanium Gray and Titanium White models. The Titanium Silver variant is also on sale, but only for $180 off. It's the cheapest price we've seen for the 47mm watch. It boasts a sportier and more durable design than the Galaxy Watch 7 and it's one of the best smartwatches for tracking workouts.
Similar to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is the high-end luxury watch in the company's smartwatch range with a number of upgrades over the Galaxy Watch 7 including longer battery life, a more durable design and an extra button.
The watch is already cheaper than the best Apple Watch, which is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 available for $649 on Amazon; $250 more than the Galaxy Watch Ultra is going for in this deal.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the one that changed my mind about smartwatches, and I wear it near daily, especially when tracking walks and running stats.
It's far sportier than the main Galaxy Watch and includes dual-band GPS tracking and active sensors.
While it might not match the sports tracking of the best Garmin watches, the Galaxy Watch Ultra offers a lot more smart features, and if you want a sporty Wear OS device it's the standout option, especially at this knockdown price.

I walked 5,500 steps with the Apple Watch 10 vs Garmin Forerunner 570 — here's the winner
The Garmin Forerunner 570 is one of Garmin's newest AMOLED-screen sporting smartwatches aimed at runners. It boasts loads of training tools, Garmin's best heart rate sensors and a small smattering of smart features. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 10 is perhaps the best full-featured smartwatch on the market today. It's also no slouch when it comes to fitness and wellness tracking. While the Garmin Forerunner 570 is a tad pricier than the Apple Watch Series 10, both are well equipped to keep tabs on your daily workout efforts, whether you're a runner, walker, hiker or prefer the gym. Each watch sports an onboard GPS and the best holistic tech offered by Apple and Garmin, respectively. The question is, which one is more accurate when it comes to tracking a basic workout? I decided to find out. The Apple Watch Series 10 is my favorite full-featured smartwatch in 2025, sporting a thin and attractive design, gorgeous screen, endless apps and loads of useful onboard features. It's also a mighty reliable fitness and sleep tracker. The Garmin Forerunner 570 is one of the brand's latest smartwatches aimed squarely at runners and outdoor athletes, boasting Garmin's best holistic tech, excellent training and recovery tools, a bright AMOLED screen and a fun, colorful case design. For this walk test, I wore the Apple Watch Series 10 on my left wrist and the Garmin Forerunner 570 on my right wrist before setting out on my manually-counted jaunt around Seattle, Washington, on the longest day of the year. To keep track of my steps, I clicked an old-school tally counter every time my count hit 100 before starting over again at one. With my left foot taking only odd-numbered steps and my right foot only making even-numbered ones, I trekked three miles before ending tracking and examining the results. In addition to the manual count, I also recorded my walk using Strava as a control for distance, elevation and pace data.

See all the results below: Apple Watch 10 Garmin Forerunner 570 Control Step count 5,568 steps 5,542 steps 5,500 steps (manual count) Distance 2.99 miles 2.98 miles 3.00 miles (Strava) Elevation gain 216 feet 207 feet 212 feet (Strava) Average pace 18 mins 23 secs per mile 18 mins 28 secs per mile 18 mins 6 secs per mile (Strava) Average heart rate 128 bpm 128 bpm n/a Max heart rate 163 bpm 164 bpm n/a Calories burned 437 calories 375 calories n/a Device battery usage 12% 6% n/a Both the Garmin and Apple Watch were within 100 steps of my manually-counted total, an impressive showing for sure! However, while the Series 10 overcounted by 68 steps, the Forerunner 570 only overcounted by 42. Strava, meanwhile, calculated my total steps at 5,548. All three devices measured roughly the same total distance covered and fairly similar elevation gain metrics. Assuming Strava is correct here, both watches are within five feet of the actual total. Pace data also matches up nicely across the board. It's worth noting that both Garmin and Strava offer two average pace figures, including a moving average and an elapsed average, the latter of which is reported above. Garmin's average moving pace for my walk was 16 minutes and 4 seconds per mile and Strava's was 16 minutes and 48 seconds per mile. Despite the Apple Watch being worn on my right wrist and the Garmin adorning my left, heart rate data is a near match between the two, though Apple calculated slightly more calories burned during my roughly 50-minute walk. Finally, the Series 10 burned roughly twice as much battery using its onboard GPS to track my trek compared to the Forerunner 570. Before acknowledging our winner, it's worth pointing out that both the Garmin Forerunner 570 and Apple Watch Series 10 did extremely well in this walk test, and I'd gladly reach for either before recording my next adventure. However, the Garmin Forerunner 570 officially takes the belt in this bout against the Apple Watch Series 10. The margin may be razor thin, but a win's a win. Which smartwatches or fitness trackers would you like to see me test head-to-head in a future walk test? Let me know in the comments below. Until then, get those steps in!

Amazon Ditches Kia Trial and Goes Back to Gig Workers for Deliveries
Gig workers have got their gig back at U.S. tech giant Amazon (AMZN) after it ditched a two year long delivery experiment. Confident Investing Starts Here: Car Plan Scrapped Amazon has, according to Bloomberg, scrapped a trial where contract delivery firms in several US states deployed drivers for four- or five-hours shifts in boxy little Kia Corp. hatchback cars. Amazon hoped that the trial, which began to roll out in 2023 in Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas and Washington, would give it more control of deliveries and reduce its reliance on Flex drivers. These are people who use their own cars to deliver orders to customers' homes. These gig economy workers will now once again get behind the wheel. Reportedly owners of the participating Delivery Service Partners, as Amazon calls its contract delivery firms, were recently notified that the quick-delivery program will be winding down over the next few months. 'After more than a year of gathering feedback from customers, DSPs, and teams at Same-Day Delivery facilities, we've determined that the DSP model isn't currently the right fit for Same-Day Delivery and we'll be moving away from it,' Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly said. 'We appreciate the contributions from participating DSPs and their teams, and we'll provide support throughout this transition.' Speed Need Kelly said the affected DSPs can operate other Amazon routes. These DSPs lease blue Amazon Prime-branded vans and employ the drivers, who might deliver 200 or more packages a day. Flex drivers opt in via a smartphone app and typically deliver packages from Amazon's same-day delivery depots. (WMT) and Target (TGT). It recently announced plans to invest up to $4 billion to expand its rural delivery network by 2026. Is AMZN a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, AMZN has a Strong Buy consensus based on 46 Buy and 1 Hold ratings. Its highest price target is $305. AMZN stock's consensus price target is $241.64 implying a 15.13% upside.

While Independence Day falls on July 4 every year, holiday sales often tend to hang around for a few days before and after. Amazon also announced that its next Prime Day will take place from July 8 to 11, so the two sales may blend. Where are the best pre-July 4 sales? Fourth of July sales offer some of the best prices on tech, appliances, mattresses and fashion, making it a great time to snag stellar prices on must-have items, and there are a ton of retailers still participating in the holiday savings. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is usually one of the best places to buy because it sells products from almost all major brands across these popular categories, making it a tremendous one-stop shop for all of your Fourth of July buys. Outside of Amazon, we recommend checking out appliance and tech sales at Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's, as well as holiday sales on a large variety of categories at Target, Nordstrom and Walmart, among others. Should I shop July 4 sales or wait for Prime Day deals? There's no definitive way to say whether Fourth of July sales or Prime Day deals are best. Both sales offer plenty of deals, including some of the best prices we'll see all year. Plus, it's likely the two sales will blur into one big discount extravaganza, given their proximity. Fourth of July sales offer more variety in retailers, although much of your shopping may take place on Amazon anyway. There are also plenty of non-Amazon retailers that will keep their sales rolling through mid-July, often directly competing with Amazon Prime prices. Because you'll be able to shop so many Fourth of July sales in just a few weeks, grab what you need and then keep tabs on Prime Day deals later for anything you miss out on.
