However, I also understand that spending $350 on a smartwatch might be tough for some, especially in this economy. If you don’t want to splurge that much but still want to treat yourself to a pretty awesome Galaxy Watch, I think you’ll like Amazon’s deal on the Galaxy Watch 8.
The e-commerce giant has slashed $80 off our friend here, dropping the 44mm Bluetooth version below $250. At that price, you really can't argue with what a bargain this watch is.
Being a top-tier Samsung wearable, it comes with a plethora of health-tracking features that I could write a 1,000+ word article on alone. It supports Samsung’s body composition analysis, can track your heart rate, stress, and sleep, take ECGs, and monitor for sleep apnea, to name a few. It also has dual-band GPS, providing accurate tracking in highly dense urban areas like New York.
You do trade battery life for all these functionalities, though. While you get all-day usage, you’ll likely have to charge it overnight or every other night. Additionally, since this is the entry-level model, its case is made of aluminum, which lacks the durability and the more premium feel of stainless steel or titanium. On the bright side, the AMOLED touchscreen is protected by sapphire crystal, making it extremely scratch-resistant.
