The Big Spring Sale is in full swing, and if you were hoping to take advantage of one of Amazon's many smartwatch deals, there's one discount that deserves some extra attention.
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, a versatile wearable with a rotating bezel and loads of Samsung smarts, just scored a rare 26% discount as part of the sale, knocking the price down to $369.99. That's only $20 more than the base model Galaxy Watch 8!
One of our favorite Android smartwatches scores a rare discount during the Big Spring Sale
✅Recommended if: you want a stylish, timeless-looking smartwatch that doesn't skimp on premium specs or performance; you miss the tactile experience of using a rotating bezel.
❌Skip this deal if: you want a watch with a more sleek, futuristic look; you just need a simple fitness tracker without all of the bells and whistles of a Samsung watch.
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic boasts a spacious 1.34-inch AMOLED display with 3,000 nits of brightness, Wear OS 6 with a ton of handy One UI 8 features, and a snappy Exynos processor straight out of the box. The rotating bezel on the watch has also received glowing reviews from users, and the 32GB of onboard storage is a boon for music and podcast lovers. You also get a ton of useful health and fitness tracking tools, such as Antioxidant Index, Bedtime Guidance, and Vascular Load, in addition to expected metrics like HRV and SpO2.
Indeed, despite a few quirks with its GPS accuracy and step counter, there are very few drawbacks with the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The only real problem with the wearable is the stiff competition. There are plenty of Android watches in this price range that perform just as well (or better) than the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic by certain metrics.
If all you care about is battery life, for example, the OnePlus Watch 3 might be a better (and more affordable) option. If you're already immersed in the Pixel ecosystem, the Google Pixel Watch 4 might deliver a more seamlessly-integrated experience with your other devices.
Needless to say, you have some factors to consider, but if you like the look of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and you've been waiting for the right time to grab the stylish watch, now's your chance.
