Don't skip out on these wearable wonders.
Black Friday smartwatches and wearables deals are almost upon us, with the day itself poised to be an utter deluge of delicious deals that we can’t wait to sink our teeth into. Here at WePC, we’re crawling through the best deals on Black Friday to ensure that you’re not left there waiting to see what the best deals are, and scrambling to find them all and eventually miss out. But, if we do our jobs properly that’s not going to happen, especially in the competitive category of smartwatches and wearable technology.
Smartwatches and wearable technology have grown to be an essential part of many people’s lives, especially for those of you who are more fitness-inclined. This means that you don’t want to be left without, as these devices can range from costing very little for the more basic offerings, to incredibly expensive and luxurious, with products such as the Apple Watch. Unlike many other things that we’re keeping our eyes out this Black Friday, Smartwatches appear to be looking like they’ve not been incredibly impacted by the global semiconductor shortage that is poised to last for at least another year, and instead, due to demand, going to be in healthy supply this Black Friday shopping season.

We can expect to see Smartwatches and wearables go on sale slightly ahead of Black Friday, with many retailers entering the Black Friday ring starting from November 12. Black Friday itself begins on November 26. We expect to see retailers duke it out with pricing of these devices ahead of Black Friday, coming to their natural apex at around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, meaning that you could save big.
Since smartwatches and wearables are such a competitive category, you can expect bigger discounts on the smaller brands such as TicWatch, since they’re less in demand and want to get more products into consumers hands. Expect less dramatic deals on things such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Versa, which have enjoyed discounts on previous Black Fridays, but still retain strong pricing to ensure that their brands are not devalued over the Black Friday shopping season.
However, where you still might be able to find great deals is in the realm of older models which retailers are looking to clear out, so look to stay a year behind or so and you could save quite a bit instead of going for recently-released models.
It might be a little strange to say in the world of technology to move slowly, but smartwatches and wearables are a category which we don’t see leapfrogging itself year after year, instead, we’re given smaller incremental improvements, which means that older models are more than likely to be completely competent, even though they have a successor. This is called planned obsolescence, meaning that companies just look to push out a new model for the sake of having one, instead of waiting for bigger improvements to push out a revolutionary product.
It can be tempting to be lured in by large discount percentages, making it incredibly easy to just turn your brain off and click the buy button. However, it can be simple to overspend on Black Friday, that’s why we recommend that you set your budget ahead of time in order to make sure that you don’t overspend. This will inform what products you will have your eye on Black Friday, and also help you out in the sense that you will be able to decide exactly what your upper limit to spend with is.
It can be easy to see certain high-ticket items offered at low prices around Black Friday, so be sure to remind yourself to stick only to the websites or places that are reputable such as Amazon and more. If you see a no-name site offering a price that looks too good to be true, it probably is. So, be sure to keep your wits about you, as millions of people are scammed out of their money every Black Friday with promises of products that are never exactly what they expect.
