Amazfit just unveiled a new smartwatch — the GTR — and the company may have several other models waiting in the wings. Perhaps it’s not surprising, then, that Best Buy is currently running a sale on four older Amazfit models: The Bip, the Stratos, the Verge and the Verge Lite. Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.

Here’s a hot take on each one:
Amazfit Bip: $60 (save $20)
This is the watch that put Amazfit on the map, and it’s long been a personal favorite. With its always-on screen, exceptional battery life, heart-rate monitor and built-in GPS, it’s no wonder CNET asked this question in its Amazfit Bip review: “Why can’t more smartwatches be like this?”

Amazfit Stratos: $140 (save $40)
Originally $200, the Stratos never won as much attention as the Bip — but it has a lot of fans. That’s because in addition to all the usual fitness features, it offers a large, lovely display, a water-resistant design and even onboard storage for your music.

Amazfit Verge: $120 (save $40)
The Verge is essentially the Stratos’ plastic cousin, offering most of the same features (including the sideload-able music storage), but with a slightly smaller screen encased in a plastic housing. It does have one extra perk not afforded by the Stratos: built-in Amazon Alexa. That feature relies on your phone, of course, but it’s still pretty rare in any smartwatch, let alone one at this price.

Amazfit Verge Lite: $80 (save $40)
For exactly what you’d originally pay for the Bip, the Verge Lite offers a big, beautiful AMOLED screen and up to 20 days of battery life (roughly four times that of the standard Verge). It’s a little lighter on overall fitness features, but still offers heart-rate monitoring and GPS. You don’t get the onboard music storage or Alexa support. Still, for $80? That’s pretty hard to beat.
