Amazon slashes price of Samsung Galaxy Watch to rival Samsung in flash deal

Amazon is taking on Samsung with a significant price cut on the Galaxy Watch in a deal exclusive to Prime Members. The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic, originally priced at £369, has been slashed to £237.

This discounted price is available for Amazon Prime members or those who sign up for a 30-day free trial of Prime, with further discounts available on the standard Galaxy Watch7 (now £244, was £319). According to Samsung, the Watch6 Classic takes inspiration from the 'iconic design' of diving watches and features a 1.3" AMOLED display protected by Sapphire Crystal glass to prevent scratches.

Available in either silver or black, this stainless steel watch has an IP68 and 5atm water-resistance rating, along with a rotating bezel for easy selection of apps and functions. It also offers heart rate, blood pressure and sleep monitoring, as well as tracking over 90 different workouts including running, walking and cycling.

Additional features include making calls, sending texts and streaming music directly from the watch. The watch's fast-charge feature can power up to 45% battery life in 30 minutes, while a full charge provides up to 40 hours of use, reports the Express.

It's compatible with smartphones running Android 10 or above and offers 16GB of storage for ample app space. For shoppers who prefer to spread the cost, Sky Mobile offers both the Galaxy Watch6 Classic and Galaxy Watch7 for monthly payments of £13 and £9, respectively.

Yet, it's important to note that these premium prices come with a 36-month contract tie-in. The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic has garnered a 4.5-star rating from 393 Amazon reviews, with 89% of those being four or five stars.

A customer shared: "Samsung at its best. Lovely watch, does far more than I would have imagined.

"[It] syncs great with my Samsung phone and apps, comfortable wear, good battery life – I've got over two days, use with the screen constantly lit. Glad I took the plunge and bought one, looks great as well."

Another buyer added: "What a fabulous smartwatch. The strap is comfortable and soft and the movement of the bezel is smooth and effortless. I like answering calls and talking without having to open my mobile phone.

"This watch is a godsend if you are into health and fitness, and the easily accessible health apps are at your fingertips. Some might find the watch to be heavy on the wrist, but I find it to be OK."

However, despite their five-star review, the same buyer added: “On the negative side, the battery isn’t lasting as long as I thought it would. I am charging it at least twice a day, which is disappointing. I’m certainly enjoying wearing this watch, and I think it is a good price.”

But more happy customers have hailed the Watch6 Classic as ‘versatile’, ‘well built’ and ‘great for sports and health tracking’, with others noting its ‘great’ battery life.
