Many of the best smartwatch deals come and go on a regular basis, and this next Amazon discount is no exception. Currently, Amazon is offering 31% off the price of the white Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which is a particularly good pick for anyone who prefers a less-sporty, more-traditional smartwatch design.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is normally priced at well over $500, so the $377 price tag makes it look pretty appealing. While it fittingly features a more classic look, it also still includes fan favorite features such as Samsung's Health Perks, a rotating bezel, a bright screen, and a user-friendly interface with One UI 8 Watch.

For now, Amazon has cut the price of the white, 46mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic by 31%, bringing it down to just $377. We love this watch for its versatility, comfort, and its fittingly-named "Classic" design.

✅Recommended if: you prefer a smartwatch that looks more like a regular watch than many of today's more modern-looking watch designs; you like Samsung's lineup of smartwatches but you'd like to spend under $400 if you can.

❌Skip this deal if: you prefer a smaller watch than the 46mm configuration, but you don't want to sacrifice on savings; you prefer a smartwatch with a larger screen for better overall functionality, and you don't mind compromising a little bit on comfort.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic joins many of our other favorite smartwatches today. In particular, we think it's the best classic design for a smartwatch, but that doesn't mean it's a trade off for functionality or features.

From its accurate GPS tracking and range of health and workout modes to its battery life and 3,000-nit brightness, it's a good watch that normally comes at a pretty high price.

In our tests of the watch, we found that, even when heavily using the AOD, the "Hey Google" wake word, and other battery-intensive features, the Watch 8 Classic still yielded a 25-hour battery life pace. All in all, it's not a bad pick, especially if you can score it at a discounted price like this.
