The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic can be yours at half off if you don't mind one catch

Samsung just recently unveiled its new smartwatches, but there's no Classic model this year. For users who love the hardware rotating bezel design, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic remains the obvious choice. Guess what? This one is now 50% off at Woot, making it way harder to resist. 

Yep, instead of coughing up $500 for this timepiece, Woot is now letting you grab one for just $249.99. The catch is that this is the international version of the wearable, so you don't get a manufacturer's warranty. Instead, the retailer is giving you a 90-day Woot limited warranty. 

• For those who prefer a standard warranty, the Pixel Watch 4 is a strong alternative, especially with its current $100 discount.

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic stands out with a significantly improved design. The squircle shape may not be everyone's thing, but as my colleague Vic noted in our review, it keeps the watch from moving around too much during different activities.

There's no shortage of health and wellness features either. Samsung has equipped its Classic model with a remarkably accurate workout detection feature as well as dual-band GPS. Plus, thanks to the improved fit, you get more precise heart rate readings. 

Another thing I really like here is the sleep coaching feature. It doesn't just break down your sleep into different stages and give you an overall score, but also helps you better understand and improve your sleep routine.

In addition, while it's not equipped with the new Snapdragon Wear Elite chip as the Galaxy Watch 9 series, this wearable gives you a smooth and responsive experience. Plus, given that it remains the most contemporary Classic model, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic remains a great choice for many.

If you don't mind getting an international version of this premium smartwatch, now's your chance to act. Head over to Woot and save 50% while the offer lasts.
