Amazon cuts up to $250 off Garmin watches as Galaxy Watch 8 falls to $259.99
Amazon cuts up to $250 off Garmin watches; Galaxy Watch 8 drops to $259.99, its best price since Prime Day.
TechRadar reported that the retailer's fall sale covers a range of top-rated Garmin watches, including models with GPS tracking, a large AMOLED display, fitness analytics, long battery life and an ultra-durable design. The watches are packed with premium features that usually carry an expensive price tag, and the Amazon sale addresses that cost. The article said 12 of the best Garmin watch deals are available at Amazon, all with discounts and limited-time pricing. Amazon's Garmin discounts are positioned for fall outdoor activities such as running, biking and hiking, the report said, letting shoppers buy a companion device while saving money.
Android Authority reported that the Galaxy Watch 8 is Samsung's smaller mainline smartwatch, designed for users who want a full-featured wearable without a bulky case. It has a round AMOLED display and a slimmer design than earlier standard models, with a polished look intended to work for workouts and daily wear. The 40mm Bluetooth model runs Wear OS 6 with Samsung's One UI 8 Watch, the report said, giving users access to apps on the wrist, Bluetooth calling and smart voice features tied to Galaxy AI and Gemini.
Health and wellness features include fitness tracking, sleep tools, heart rate monitoring and newer health insights, according to Android Authority. The watch works with Android phones through the Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health apps. Battery life is rated at up to 40 hours with the always-on display turned off, or around 30 hours with it on, powered by a 325mAh battery. Amazon shoppers give it a 4.4-star rating, the report said.
The Galaxy Watch 8 deal saves $40, or 13 percent, from the $299.99 recommended retail price, Android Authority reported. The publication noted that the watch has been cheaper before, but only during Prime Day, making the current price the best since that event. For the Garmin sale, TechRadar described the discounts as limited-time offers but did not specify an end date.
