The 4.5-star Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is now cheaper than the Apple Watch SE 3
I loved the Samsung Galaxy Watch last year: it's sleek, slim, ideal for runners — and now it's cheaper than any Apple Watch.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is currently cheaper than the Apple Watch SE 3, according to a report. Reviewers have praised the watch for its slim, squircle-shaped chassis that securely fits on the wrist, making it an excellent choice for workouts. The device also features an onboard running coach with over 160 training plans, from beginner 5Ks to long-distance races. Its bright 3,000 nit screen is ideal for checking notifications, messages, and workout stats. Samsung's sleep tracking is also highly regarded.
Currently, the 40mm Bluetooth-only model is available for £219 at Currys, which is £50 less than the cheapest Apple Watch SE 3. The LTE-enabled version of the 40mm is also on sale for £269, saving £50. The larger 44mm Bluetooth-only model is priced at £249, and the 44mm LTE version is £299. These discounts are not available for all sizes and models, but the 40mm Bluetooth-only deal is highlighted as the best offer.
Despite the release of the newer Samsung Galaxy Watch 9, the Watch 8 remains a compelling option due to its lower price and comprehensive features. Samsung phone users will particularly benefit from the watch's ability to function as a camera viewfinder and interface with Samsung apps. Runners of all skill levels will appreciate the extensive coaching plans and secure fit on the wrist.
Additionally, anyone interested in staying fit and managing notifications without their phone will find the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 to be a valuable investment.
