The Apple Watch Series 7 and the Garmin Forerunner 255S are currently on sale, which should please both Apple and Android users alike. The 45mm Apple Watch Series 7 GPS and Cellular is currently $302.30 (originally $380.86), and the 41mm Garmin Forerunner 255S is $249.99 (originally $349.99) after a 29% discount. For reference, Woot had a limited-time deal on the Series 7 last month, where it hit $279.99, and the Garmin Forerunner 255 is seeing the same price it did on Black Friday.
Apple Watch Series 7
The Apple Watch Series 7 came out in 2021 and has the Series 8 and 9 ahead of it. But the Series 7 has one advantage over the Series 9. After a court ruled against Apple in a lawsuit over the Apple Watch’s blood oxygen feature, it removed that feature from the series 9—but the series 7 still has it.
Since this is the GPS + Cellular version, it is able to work independently from your phone, take calls, and listen to music even if you leave your phone at home. It also has a large 45mm screen with a rubber Sport Band. You can see the device’s full specs on Apple’s website and read check out PCMag’s “outstanding” review for a fuller picture of what the device is like in everyday use. Despite it being an older model, you would still get the latest watchOS 10 updates since Apple continues to support anything newer than the Apple Watch Series 4.
Garmin Forerunner 255S
The Garmin Forerunner 255S came out in the summer of 2022, geared to runners and triathletes. It has detailed fitness trackers as well as a great sleep tracker and a solid battery life of up to 12 days. With perhaps a bit too many features, the Forerunner 255S can get a bit overwhelming if you’re just looking for a simple activity tracker. However, if you play multiple sports and love having a specific tracker for just about any activity, the Forerunner 255S might be a good fit.
