Samsung is pulling out all the stops this year, rolling out some of its most compelling deals yet, perfectly timed for the highly anticipated Black Friday sales event and the upcoming holiday season.

Alternatively, if you something to trade in, you can send it to Samsung and save up to $300.

One of the key features of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is the return of the physical rotating bezel for quick navigation of menus and notifications without touching the screen. It also comes built in with One UI 8, Gemini integration at its core, and a ton of new health and wellness metrics like the Antioxidant index.

Galaxy Watch 8 Classic: $499 From $199 with trade-in | $399 without at Samsung

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic just hit its best price on Samsung, with up to $300 off with trade-in this Black Friday! Slip the trade-in process altogether and you'll still be eligible for a straight $100 discount, matching Amazon's pricing.

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic offers Watch 6 Classic owners a faster, efficient Exynos processor, new health sensors with perks like Antioxidant Index and Vascular Load, dual-band GPS, doubled storage, and a blazing 3,000 nits of brightness.

✅Recommended if: You're someone who loves the feeling of having a rotating bezel, offering an intuitive and satisfying method of navigating the watch's interface, gives you all the latest health features, along with keeping you on track with fitness goals on the go, and if you love using your watch to download music/podcasts offline.

❌Skip this deal if: You're someone who is into smaller dials, as the Classic only comes in one 46mm size. If you already own a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 or the Ultra, this isn't a significant upgrade for you.

As for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic's standout specs, it weighs about 63.5 grams and has a Sapphire Crystal display, making consumers' viewing experience much better.

The smartwatch gets a new "Quick Button" for "added convenience." The smartwatch arrives with a 445mAh battery, 2GB of memory, and 64GB of storage. The smartwatch gets the faster WearOS 6 out of the box, along with a whole host of new health features like the "Antioxidant Index," which measures carotenoid levels in the blood in just five seconds to help users make more informed lifestyle choices.

Other than that, the Bedtime Guidance feature will "measure your circadian rhythm" to help you identify the best time to sleep. Additionally, the Watch 8 Classic features "Vascular Load," designed to help users understand their stress levels on their vascular system during the night.

Samsung is sweetening the deal by offering up to $300 in instant trade-in credit, potentially lowering the watch's price to just $299 on its Wi-Fi-only variant. Additionally, the company is including a complimentary 6-month iFit membership with the purchase.
