Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 drops to a price that makes it easier to pick up

The Galaxy Watch 8 is one of the best smartwatches you can buy right now if you’re looking for something running Wear OS. It’s slim and lightweight, has an eye-catching design, and the software is easy to use while being extremely robust.

We can’t even get mad when paying full price for this unit because the value is there. Naturally, we always love being able to score a good discount when we can, which is why the Galaxy Watch 8 for $200 is an absolute steal. That’s 43% off the usual retail price.

What’s great about the Galaxy Watch 8?

This particular model comes in at 40mm, which should be a good size for most wrists. It features a 1.3-inch AMOLED screen that can reach up to 3,000 nits, which will allow it to be easily seen even under direct sunlight. It’s powered by an Exynos W1000 chip that’s paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

As far as battery life goes, you’re looking at a full day, which is on par with other watches in this category. While we’d love to see more, the technology isn’t quite there yet, unless you’re looking to with something like a Garmin. So, you’ll want to place it on a charger any chance you get, whether that’s 20 minutes during your shower, or overnight.

The watch can track health and fitness metrics pretty well, providing all the important details you need. It can also track sleep quality and stress levels. Samsung also offers upgrades that can further improve the experience, and it’s pretty good at keeping its devices up to date.

For the most part, this watch provides a pretty complete experience. And the discounted price makes it easier to get a hold of if you’re on a budget. You’ll have a choice of two colors: Graphite and White. The only thing to really look out for with this promotion is that there is only a 90-day warranty on this product.
