Amazon’s Republic Day Sale for 2022 has officially begun, and if you’ve been looking to upgrade to a new fitness watch or smartwatch, now is a good time. We take a look at the best deals to consider, in various price ranges during the Amazon Republic Day sale. Here is our list:
Apple Watch SE, Series 3
Big sales are the best time to buy an Apple device, and if you’ve been looking at the Apple Watch SE, then here’s your chance. The Apple Watch SE with 44mm size is at a discount of Rs 26,900 at Amazon India, while the official MRP is Rs 32,900. However, for those who were looking for the smaller 40mm version, it seems that this variant still sells for Rs 29,900, which is the official price.
Keep in mind that this reduced price does not apply to all colors and options. The price of Rs 26,900 is only displayed for the silver aluminum case with white sport strap on Amazon India. With the Apple Watch SE, you get all the features of the high-end Apple Watch Series 7 or 6, except for ECG and blood oxygen. But then you don’t pay full price for these variants.
For those looking for something even more affordable, the Apple Watch Series 3 is also listed on Amazon at a price of Rs 21,900 for the 42mm version. This MRP for this is Rs 23,900. The Apple Watch Series 3 is still supported by the company and the newer versions also come with 8GB storage.
If your budget is flexible, our recommendation would be the discounted Apple Watch SE, as it has features like fall detection, a bigger screen, and a newer processor.
Mi Band 6
The Mi Band 6 was launched with a larger 1.56-inch AMOLED color screen, and it also had a price of Rs 3,499. It is now available for Rs 2,999 during the Amazon sale, and it is definitely our top recommendation for a fitness band, which offers good value for money. The step tracking is the most accurate, especially considering the budget, it can also track a number of sports and the battery will last a long time. It also comes with blood oxygen monitoring, and the discount makes it a good option to consider.

Amazfit offers a number of options for its customers and most of its products are for sale on Amazon. The budget Bip U watch which had a starting price of Rs 3,499 will be listed for Rs 2,999, while the Bip U Pro is listed at Rs 3,999 against the MRP of Rs 4,999.

The Garmin Venu SQ is a sleek option, listed at the price of Rs 15,990 on Amazon against the MRP of Rs 20,990. The Garmin Forerunner 45 is listed at Rs 14,990.
