Samsung is HIDING this $150-off Galaxy Watch 8 deal, and it won't last

Disclaimer: I can't guarantee you'll be able to buy the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deal available today. If you're persistent, though, you should be able to buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 for $199 ($150 off) on Samsung's website, instead of the $249 price you'll see on Amazon or Best Buy.

Here's what you do: Go to this Samsung.com link, and you'll likely see a $249 price tag at first. Don't give up! Scroll down to "Samsung trade-in," click "Yes, trade in," then click "No" next to it without entering a watch model. If you're like me, you'll see that the "Samsung Instant Credit" has updated to $150, and you'll scroll up to a $199 deal price!

That credit applies to other models, too, so you can get the Watch 8 44mm for $229 instead of $379, or the Watch 8 40mm LTE for $249 instead of $399! If the $150 credit doesn't show up for you, try refreshing the page or selecting other options, and see if the website decides to show this "exclusive" discount for you; if it doesn't, at least you can save $100, or more with a trade-in.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: was $349.99 now $199.99 at Samsung

Android Central verdict: ★★★★½

We rank the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 as the best Android smartwatch of 2025. It's certainly the most comfortable, with the best integration for Galaxy phone owners and the longest software support through 2029. While I also recommend the Pixel Watch 4 as a more stylish alternative, its Cyber Monday deal is much smaller.

Our Galaxy Watch 8 reviewer appreciated that it's lightweight for sleep tracking and workouts, while still well-protected with sapphire glass and an MIL-STD-810H rating. It has fast performance with plenty of RAM, and while its battery life isn't the best, you probably won't want to spend a few hundred extra just to upgrade for the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

✅Recommended if: You want to prioritize affordability, but without losing hardware quality. You have a Samsung phone — the Galaxy Watch has a couple of exclusive features — and you want a design that's well-suited for sleep tracking, with unique stats like Antioxidant Index, Energy Score, and Vascular Load.

❌Skip this deal if: You dislike the unique squircle case design, you have a Pixel or OnePlus phone that'd work better with another smartwatch, or you're willing to pay extra for a Classic or Ultra.

You can also find some pretty massive discounts on Samsung's pricier models, like $200 off the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, making it cheaper than the original Galaxy Watch 8 price. I enjoyed reviewing the Watch 8 Classic because of its rotating bezel for more exact controls, along with a more traditional style. But the Watch 8 is the better last-minute deal, simply because it's $100 cheaper and lightweight enough to fit any wrist size.

I don't know how long these hidden Samsung watch deals will last — or even if you'll see them — but I assume they'll go away once Cyber Monday ends tonight. So if you're at all interested in a smartwatch upgrade, now's the time!
