Wearables are becoming as ubiquitous as smartphones, but that also means companies like Apple and Samsung are making better, more expensive devices. Whether you prefer a smartwatch, fitness tracker, or some other type of wearable, your best bet is to wait until a big sale – like Black Friday – to get one at the best possible price. A number of wearables have been discounted this year and we’ve picked the best ones here so you don’t have to hunt for them.
