In case you’re wondering, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Galaxy Watch at that price. Then again, Amazon last hosted the deal about a month ago. At present, it’s not the only seller to host this tempting deal, though. If you’re more of a Walmart fan, get your 40mm wearable from there, as it also sells the smartwatch at $71 off.
This Apple Watch Series 9 alternative lacks Apple’s double-tap gesture, but it compensates with nap detection and a better battery life. Aside from that, the Samsung option is much more affordable than the Apple watch, especially through Amazon’s ongoing deal.
Aside from these, the Samsung wearable features a BIA sensor. This one breaks down your body composition for a more detailed overview of your general fitness levels. In addition, the wearable is equipped with a temperature sensor for women’s cycle tracking and safety features, such as Fall Detection.
As hinted, the smaller-sized Galaxy watch lasts more than the Apple wearable per single charge. As we’ve noted in our review, you can easily get through a day and a half between charges, all the more so if you don’t interact with your watch too often. When the juice runs out, a quick 30-minute charging session tops your wearable to about 42%, reaching full charge in just under an hour and 20 minutes.
