Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 is easier to recommend now it starts at $260
The Verge • 4/9/2026 – 4/10/2026
Summary
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 is currently available for $289.99, a $60 discount from its original price, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung. This price is the second-best this year and $50 shy of its all-time low. Woot is offering the 46mm international Bluetooth-enabled Classic model for $259.99, a $240 discount, but it comes with a 90-day warranty instead of Samsung's standard one-year coverage. The Galaxy Watch 8 is considered one of the best Android smartwatches, especially for Samsung phone users.
