There are plenty of Prime Day smartwatch deals going around, and this one’s a dang good one. Following Samsung’s recent release of the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 7 Ultra, Amazon has cut 42% off the price of the Galaxy Watch 6 Bespoke Edition 44mm, representing $160 off the normal purchase price. This particular deal is also for the Watch 6 in Milanese Black, sporting the company’s comfortable Graphite band.
The Watch 6 features the user-friendly Wear OS, along with better health sensors and functionality than Samsung’s past-generation watches.
✅Recommended if: you don’t mind going with a previous-generation smartwatch for the sake of a great deal; you want something with a satisfying capacitive bezel; you need health features such as personalized HR zones and passive AFib detection.
❌Skip this deal if: you want something super lightweight; you need the industry’s best battery life in a smartwatch.
Samsung launched its next-gen Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra last week, but most casual smartwatch users will be content with the performance of prior generations. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Bespoke Edition 44mm, in particular, is a solid pick at any price point, let alone at this one.
On the downside, some of the GPS tracking and health sensors can be a little inaccurate, mainly including the BIA readings—though it hasn’t been FDA approved to reliably test blood pressure anyway. It also isn’t the most lightweight smartwatch available, and the Watch 6 battery life stagnated compared to previous generations.
Otherwise, the Watch 6 features a beautiful display, Bluetooth, and a fun-to-use capacitive bezel, along with super-fast charging and decent battery life. And if that isn’t enough, maybe $160 off will be.
