Fossil has the Sport smartwatch running Wear OS in both 41mm and 43mm sizes on sale for $69.30 with promo code SPRING30. Free shipping, but tax in most places.
Only a few select colors are remaining.
The 41mm and 43mm have identical tech specs, the only difference being the size of the bezel and the strap size.
Price almost lowest in history. Amazon had them for like $64 a couple of months ago for a short time. The 512MB of RAM will mean it won't be the smoothest experience and there's no speaker, but it's a pretty steep discount in price.
Just got this error on a few of the links to the watches from the main page

Try again. It works for me on my desktop and phone.
I have a Sport Gen4 and it's frustratingly slow and laggy. Not as bad as Android Wear 1.x watches upgraded to 2.0, but still borderline unusable at times.
I was just about to come here and post this. Just ordered one. Have been using a ZTE Quartz (2017) that I bought for $50 for the last year or so. Pretty happy with it. So I figured that a watch released last year would be a decent upgrade for $75.
FYI the only colors left in the men's sizes are black and blue. The other colors are sold out.
I owned and returned this a few months ago. While I liked the features of Wear OS, the watch could not keep up. For my purposes (checking notifications/tracking workouts) it worked, but was extremely laggy. I think the Qualcomm chip is actually their high end wear chip, so maybe it's throttled by battery constraints or Fossil software?
I turned off most functionality (WiFi/location) and was still barely able to last a day.
For $70, it is a great entry level smartwatch, good for fitness, but laggy. I would rather put that $70 towards a faster smartwatch.
edit: also running tasks drains the battery quick. my battery would drain ~30% in a 1.5 hour workout with the workout tracking running.
I've never owned a smartwatch and it seems like a pretty cheap price... heck, I've wasted $70 on stupider things. I'm not super picky and will try to live with its negatives. Dang Shelter in place & impulse buys.
I was getting the access denied error too, but managed to get through & purchase through my smart phone. Will be interesting to see if it ships/the order went through. Best of luck.

You'll regret it. This watch isn't worth a ten dollar gift certificate. The battery life is atrocious, the hardware makes it stop or crawl. I haven't come across a more unusable piece of tech in a decade.

Blue hit this price range in January from Amazon. But we don't have time machine and this is the best price right now
