Anti Prime Day deals: These are the top 6 fitness trackers we would buy today

The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale may be jam-packed with excellent deals on some of the best fitness trackers we tested, but that does not necessarily mean Amazon is the go-to place for the very best offers. On the contrary, plenty of discounts can be found on Best Buy, Walmart and other major retailers — and many of these smartwatch deals match (or, in some cases, even beat) the prices found on Amazon.

Take this excellent anti-Prime Day deal, for example the Garmin fēnix 7X Sapphire Solar is now $250 cheaper at Best Buy, matching Amazon's price to the last penny. And that is not all. From some of the best Fitbits to a few of the best Garmin watches, here is a selection of our favorite anti-prime day fitness tracker deals. But act fast, these discounts will not last long.
