The original price of the fitness watch was $150.

To find the original price of the fitness watch, we need to work backwards from the discounted price of $105.

Let X be the original price of the fitness watch.

After a 30% discount, the discounted price is:

X - 0.3X = 0.7X

We know that the discounted price is $105, so we can set up the equation:

0.7X = 105

Solving for X, we divide both sides by 0.7:

X = 105 / 0.7

X = 150

Therefore, the original price of the fitness watch was $150.
