Since we are all if you have been indoors and socially distanced yourself, chances are you will receive a digital gift or a virtual gift card this holiday season. The best way to spend gift cards (or pick up a gift at the last minute) is to make sure you get a good discount, which is why we’ve put together some of the best post-Christmas deals for the products you have. -I tested and they like it this year.
And if the too small sweater or the naughty headphones under the tree didn’t make your list beautiful, here’s how to return everything.
Special offer for Gear readers: get a 1 year WIRED subscription for 5 USD (25 USD discount). This includes unlimited access to WIRED.com and our print magazine (if you wish).
Outdoor and fitness offers
January is full of fitness offers and outdoor equipment thanks to the new decision of the people with New Year’s resolutions. If the gadget or health device you noticed isn’t on sale yet, it probably will be soon.

Year-end REI sale: up to 50% discount: Almost every category of outdoor equipment that REI sells is small. These types of big and big discounts are not particularly rare for REI, but they are the best times to see if any brand you love has some good deals. For example, everyone on the Gear team swears on DarnTough socks, and some of the Hiker styles are reduced. They are ultra-warm and excellent for cold weather (and backed by a lifetime warranty).

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 for $ 339 ($ 61 discount): If you’re looking for an alternative to the Apple Watch, this is it. It has capabilities for measuring blood oxygen saturation, an electrocardiogram and you can do all the usual functions of the smartwatch, such as tracking and responding to notifications on your phone. It will work on iPhone, but with limited functionality. If you don’t want to spend as much, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 is also a good option, with a similar feature set at $ 200 ($ 70 discount).
-
Men’s Fossil Gen 5E for $ 139 ($ 110 discount) and Women for 139 USD (110 USD discount): This is the best deal I’ve seen on these relatively new watches, even better than selling Fossil’s Black Friday. At this price, there are excellent options for checking notifications and tracking basic fitness, but the battery will only last a day and is not very fast.
-
Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Sapphire Edition for $ 350 ($ 400 discount): This isn’t the latest Garmin, but if you’re a multi-sporter looking for a sturdy fitness watch, this is a great option for sale. It offers color topographic maps, route tracking, an altimeter and GPS functionality. It will also analyze your heart rate to tell you what level of activity your body is prepared for. The display is protected by sapphire crystal, which is harder to scratch than glass.
-
Beats Powerbeats Pro for $ 170 ($ 80 off): Do headphones keep falling when you train? They will remain no matter what you do and have good sound quality and a battery life of 9 hours. Our review contains more details.
-
Apple Watch Series 6 for $ 350 ($ 49 discount): This is the best smartwatch if you have an iPhone. It can track sleep, blood oxygen saturation, and the ambient noise level around you, plus it has an ECG and can do much more. Read our review.
