Prime Day drops the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 to its best price of all time — here is a clear breakdown of what happened and why it matters right now.
The details below put the news in context: the key points first, the background after.
We've seen the Galaxy Watch 8 go on sale before, but never this low. Right now, during Prime Day, you can score the 40 mm model for just $218. We scored this watch an 8.5/10, praising its lightweight design, simple to use software, comprehensive health and fitness tracking, and more. It's really a stellar smartwatch to get if you're looking to buy something new. And at its new price, it's a no-brainer.
Samsung has been making some of the best smartwatches you can buy for Android phones. The Galaxy Watch 8 is no exception. This model debuted with a completed new design, which some found divisive. Personally, I think it looks quite sleek, and the design is modern, and can be dressed or down.
You get a bright and vibrant AMOLED screen, and it's powered by a Samsung Exynos W1000 processor. It also packs 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and can last up to a full day on a charge. That isn't the best battery life on the market, but it's what you'd expect from a Wear OS smartwatch.
Speaking of Wear OS, Samsung will provide up to four years of updates from its initial release. With Wear OS, you'll also have access to the Google Play Store, which offers a range of different apps to download. It really is impressive just how much further you can expand the watch using apps from third parties.
For the most part, this is going to be a great watch for most people. It delivers in pretty much all areas that are important, and it comes in at a price that's easier to afford. Don't let it slip away.
This is one of the best Wear OS smartwatches that you can buy right now. Not only are you getting a stunning design, but it's also feature-packed. In addition, it's on sale for an incredible price, coming in at just $218, which is the lowest price we've seen for this particular model.
