The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, one of the best smartwatches for Samsung or Android users, is on sale for $251.58 (originally $329.99) at Amazon, which is its best price ever, according to my favorite price-checking tools. (If you’re more of an Apple fan, the Apple Watch Series 8 and Series 7 are also discounted.)
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 was launched last summer with top-notch specs and features. Since its release, it’s been compared to the Pixel Galaxy 2 as a competitor for Android users. But with its current discount, it would be very hard to justify getting the Pixel Watch 2 over the Galaxy Watch 6, with almost a $100 difference in price.
The screen is one of the first things that stands out about the Galaxy Watch 6. It has a 1.3-inch, 2,000-nit bright AMOLED display with a digital bezel for quick scrolling through menus. This model’s battery lasts for up to 22 hours, which is notably less than the up to 50 hours offered by the previous generation.
With an Android smartwatch, you’ll be getting all the latest Wear OS features. Some features specific to the Galaxy Watch 6 are an accelerometer to measure your speed, GPS tracking, a heart rate monitor, a blood oxygen monitor, a temperature sensor, and others. The Galaxy Watch 6 also allows you to make or receive phone calls from your Android phone as long as you’re within Bluetooth distance (or anywhere if you decide to get the LTE version).
PCMag thinks the Galaxy Watch 6 is “excellent,” and called it the best Android-compatible smartwatch at the time of its release.
