I love my Garmin sleep tracker, but these 4 cheap alternatives are almost as good — starting from $64 for Prime Day
A reliable sleep tracker keeps me accountable when it comes to maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and following sleep-friendly habits (we're talking getting enough daily light and avoiding too much screen time in the evening) to boost my sleep score.
If I wasn't quite so attached to my Garmin Forerunner 255 and was shopping Prime Day sleep deals with a $200 budget, these are the sleep trackers I'd buy...
1. Fitbit Inspire 3: was $99.95 now $74.95 at AmazonThe Fitbit Inspire 3 is a top-rated affordable sleep and fitness tracker that sits subtly on your wrist. At its budget price point, you can't expect all the bells and whistles of premium Garmin trackers, but it gives you an accurate measure of your sleep duration. For more in-depth sleep data (sleep score and sleep cycle info), you can upgrade to a Fitbit Premium subscription at $9.99/month. At under $75 we think the Fitbit is a great-value smart watch for anyone in need of basic sleep insights.
Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (based on 19,170+ reviews)
2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: was $299.99 now $159.99 at Amazon The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is arguably the best sleep tracking watch you can get for under $200. It gives you a daily sleep score AND a daily energy score collating sleep and workout data to give you a better understanding of how well your body is recovering. Impressively, it also measures blood oxygen levels and skin temperature, and boasts FDA-authorized sleep apnea detection. All of that comes with 47% off now, slashing the price to $159.99 (was $299.99) — we think that's a super deal. If you dislike wearing a watch to bed, you could get the same Samsung sleep tracking experience with the Samsung Galaxy Ring, though it comes at a higher price ($399.99 $299.99 at Amazon this Prime Day).
Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (based on 3,280+ reviews)
3. Amazfit Helio Ring: was $199.99 now $149.99 at AmazonThe Amazfit Helio ring may not be selling as fast as the retailers expected (it got a major price cut in October 2024), but our reviewer says it offers "solid" sleep insights that are "a near match with other sleep-tracking devices", even if the data on offer isn't as "detailed and digestible" as you'd get from the likes of Samsung. If you're in the market for an affordable sleep-tracking ring, we think this is a reliable option. But you'll want to make the most of Amazon's 25% off while it lasts.
Our review: ★★★★User score: ★★★½ (based on 150+ reviews)
4. Hadrono smart health wristband: was $159 now $63.99 at AmazonEssentially a Whoop dupe, the Hadrono is a faceless cloth band worn on the wrist to track your daytime activities and nightly sleep quality. Admittedly, we haven't tested this tracker ourselves, but customers say its functionality is comprehensive considering its budget price point, with sleep tracking being one of the "most useful" features. With a huge 60% off now, you can grab this sleep-tracking wearable for just $64 — you simply won't find a well-recommended sleep tracker cheaper elsewhere (trust me, I've been hunting all week).

Amazon-Backed (AMZN) Anthropic Just Announced a Big Upgrade
Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic is making a big upgrade to its Claude Sonnet 4 AI model by increasing the context window for enterprise API customers to one million tokens. For context, that is enough to handle about 750,000 words and 75,000 lines of code. This is a major jump from the previous 200,000 token limit and more than double OpenAI's GPT-5, which offers 400,000 tokens. The new long-context feature will also be available through Anthropic's cloud partners, including Amazon's Bedrock and Google (GOOGL) Cloud's Vertex AI. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. This comes as OpenAI's new GPT-5 model offers lower pricing and high coding performance. Nevertheless, Anthropic's product lead, Brad Abrams, says that he is pleased with the firm's API growth and expects the longer context to bring 'a lot of benefit' to coding platforms. Interestingly, unlike OpenAI, which earns most of its revenue from ChatGPT subscriptions, Anthropic focuses on selling AI through APIs, which makes developer-focused platforms critical to its business. The company also recently updated its largest model, Claude Opus 4.1, to improve its coding capabilities. It is worth noting that having a larger context window can make AI far better at tasks like software engineering, where seeing the entire project leads to more accurate results. Abrams said that it also improves Claude's ability to work on 'agentic' coding tasks, which are complex problems that require the AI to keep track of its steps over minutes or hours. In addition, for API users sending prompts over 200,000 tokens, costs will rise to $6 per million input tokens and $22.50 per million output tokens, up from $3 and $15, respectively. What Is the Price Target for AMZN Stock? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on Amazon stock based on 43 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months. Furthermore, the average AMZN stock price target of $264.40 per share implies 19.1% upside potential from current levels.

Hot sale: Samsung's new smartwatches still come with freebies!
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority All of these offers come from Amazon. This means the free gift cards are all Amazon ones. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 + free SmartTag 2 4-Pack Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 + free SmartTag 2 4-Pack Brighter display, better battery life The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 offers a new 'squircle' look, with new band attachments, backed by new software, a 50% brighter display over last year's model, and a slightly larger battery. The watch is available in four configurations: a 40mm display in Wi-Fi or LTE and a 44mm display in Wi-Fi or LTE. See price at Amazon Save $99.99 Limited Time Deal! The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 may not be as fancy as the other new models, but it will meet most people's needs at a lower price. I happen to like the new design, too. It has adopted a more square bezel while keeping the circular screen. It looks much more like the Galaxy Watch Ultra lineup, but it is smaller and much sleeker — it's actually 11% thinner. While more petite, this smartwatch is actually quite resistant. It still comes with an IP68 rating, which makes it resistant to both water and dust. In fact, it also gets a 5ATM rating, which means you can submerge it as deep as 50 meters. On top of that, it even gets a MIL-STD-810H certification. You'll have a hard time damaging this little guy! Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority The watch has a large 1.47-inch Super AMOLED display with a pretty impressive 3,000-nit brightness. This is something you would usually only find in the highest-end smartwatches, really. It also gets a pretty sharp 480 x 480 resolution, which equates to a 327ppi (pixels per inch) pixel density. Even the battery life is pretty impressive at 30 hours per full charge, even with the always-on display enabled. This gets extended to 40 hours if you turn it off. As you can see, this is a very capable smartwatch and very few of you would have any reason to upgrade. The free SmartTag 2 4-pack is really just a cherry on top. It's a $99.99 added value, so it's a nice deal if you'll actually take advantage of them. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic + $100 Amazon Gift Card Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic + $100 Amazon Gift Card Going squircle, still Classic The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic continues the Classic lineage but with a squircle redesign. Available in Wi-Fi and LTE, with a 3,000 nit display and big 445mAh battery, enjoy all of the best Samsung smartwatch software experiences in style. See price at Amazon Save $100.00 Limited Time Deal! Personally, the main benefit of upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is the aesthetics. It looks much more like a traditional watch, instead of keeping that tech gadget look. This refined design will make it a better option for office-dwellers or anyone who cares about fashion. The benefits don't end with aesthetics, though. You'll also get twice the storage, as it comes with 64GB. The frame is made of stainless steel, instead of aluminum, so it will be even sturdier. I also love that it has a rotating bezel, giving you a fun way to interact with the watch. Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Of course, it still has the same IP68, 5ATM, and MIL-STD-810H ratings, and the rest of the specs are also pretty much the same. If you deem the above-mentioned upgrades worthy, the free $100 gift card is definitely a nice incentive to upgrade. Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) If you want the best of the best, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was refreshed in 2025. Its only main competitor is the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is obviously for Apple users. This means that those who want a premium smartwatch experience on an Android phone have no better option than this one. How is this different than the first Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra? Well, Samsung added a few improvements. For starters, it gets 64GB of storage, which is twice as much as the predecessor. There's also a really nice-looking Titanium Blue color version. It also comes with Wear OS 6 out of the box, in the form of Samsung's One UI 8 software. Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 model is pretty much the same, but this isn't a bad thing. It gets a large 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 480 x 480 resolution and 3,000 nits of brightness. It's also more resistant. Aside from the same IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings, it also gets an improved 10ATM certification. This means it can be submerged as deep as 100 meters, which is twice as much as the other Galaxy Watch 8 series. C. Scott Brown / Android Authority As the color names entail, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is also made of titanium, which is better than both aluminum and stainless steel. This material is known for being both light and resistant. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) is mainly for those who know they will be a little rougher on their smartwatches. It's better equipped for more torture, or even swimming. The battery life is quite impressive with this one, at 60 hours per charge with Always On Display enabled. Turn off the feature and you'll get 80 hours! It's definitely pricey at $649, though. It's nice to at least get a free $100 gift card! Regardless of which smartwatch you're getting, we can only advise that you act quickly. These free gift offers don't usually last very long after the initial launch, and other similar offers on smartphones released at the same time have already disappeared. It's only a matter of time before these deals disappear, too. If you're not quite convinced by these, though, we have a list of the best smartwatches here. Follow
