Kick off 2025 with a feature-packed smartwatch that just received its first significant discount of the year. Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8, which was awarded TechRadar's best smartwatch by our expert judges and TechRadar readers, is on sale for $279.99 (was $349.99) at Amazon.

That's just $40 shy of the record-low price we saw during Black Friday and the first significant discount of the new year.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, released in July of last year and is listed in our best smartwatch guide as the best Samsung wearable you can buy. The Galaxy Watch 8 features a sleek, lightweight design and an on-wrist Gemini assistant that can help you complete tasks and answer questions. The Samsung Watch also offers advanced health features, including heart rate monitoring, sophisticated sleep tracking, body composition analysis, and an onboard running coach.

Keep in mind that while today's discount on the Galaxy Watch 8 isn't a record-low price, it's still an impressive deal for a newly released, highly in-demand smartwatch. I've listed more of today's best smartwatches below, including the all-new Apple Watch 11 and the best-selling Fitbit Versa 4.
