Best Prime Day Samsung Galaxy Watch deals 2021: The best deals right now

Whether you have an eye for health and fitness or are just looking for a break from your phone, you’re going to want to check out Prime Day 2021. It arrives tomorrow, June 21, but the biggest Prime Day deals have started early. That’s right, Prime Day weekend is the best time to grab yourself some solid deals.

One of the handiest pieces of wearable tech on sale at Amazon’s annual event is the Samsung Galaxy Watch. We love Samsung’s range of smartwatches for their stellar battery life, ease of use, gorgeous design, and accurate fitness-tracking measurements. Keep reading to know what to expect for Prime Day Samsung Galaxy Watch deals this year.

The Best Samsung Galaxy Watch deals happening now

What Prime Day Samsung Galaxy Watch deals to expect

There are more than a few Samsung Galaxy Watch variants, so you won’t be surprised to learn that you can expect a wide range of discounts in the Prime Day Samsung Galaxy Watch sales category.

If you’re fitness or health-focused and looking for a watch to keep count of your steps, strokes, or calories, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, which should be heavily discounted. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for something to manage texts and emails — an alternative to pulling out your phone — the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 might be more your speed.

At the same time, don’t write off discounts you will probably see on older Samsung Galaxy Watches, like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active. You can find incredible deals on older models in the Prime Day Galaxy Watch deals.

What Prime Day Samsung Galaxy Watch deals we saw last year

If you were looking to track your workouts with a new Samsung Galaxy Watch, 2020 was a banner year. Last year we saw the 44mm Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 with GPS and Bluetooth reduced to $50 from its original price of $270. We’re not kidding. It dropped by $220 — that’s more than 80% off!

At the same time, there were significant discounts on the 42mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 with GPS, Bluetooth, and unlocked LTE. In different deals, we saw it discounted from $430 to $280, from $600 to $290, and from $480 to $382. That’s a wide chasm of difference, but the key takeaway is that if you see a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 in the $280 range, feel free to jump on that Prime Day Galaxy Watch sale.

Should you buy a new Samsung Galaxy Watch on Prime Day?

Is a new Samsung Galaxy Watch something you need? If the answer is yes and you’ve just been waiting for the right time to pull the trigger, then you should definitely snag a new Samsung Galaxy Watch on Prime Day; it’s unlikely you’ll find it cheaper anywhere else. Using our guide to the best smartwatches will help you figure out the best one for you.

We’ve compared prices in the past, and it’s unlikely that the Samsung Galaxy Watch will be significantly discounted further for Black Friday or at any other time, so don’t hold off if you’re thinking you might find a better deal at a different sale.

Now, if you’re less certain that a new Samsung Galaxy Watch is for you, you might want to consider a few things before jumping into Prime Day Samsung Galaxy Watch sales. First, think about your budget. Before you get enticed into splurging on a new smartwatch, figure out exactly what you can afford to spend, then stick to that number. Just as importantly, keep your eyes open for really significant price drops in Samsung Galaxy Watch sales. What we don’t want to happen is for you to get enticed by great-looking Samsung Galaxy Watch deals, which are ultimately only for 10% or 15% off, and then spend more than you wanted.

We want you to come away from Prime Day with great tech, not regrets.

Garmin Vivoactive 5 -- $250, was $300

One of the cheapest and best options for a fitness watch from Garmin is this deal on the Vivoactive 5, which our reviewer Mark Jensen found to be great "if you’re someone who likes to keep an eye on their heart health and stress levels while also getting in some casual runs." A lot of that is due to its sports apps and sensor suite, which will let you know a significant amount of information from Pulse Ox to heart rate. The AMOLED display is also pretty gorgeous to look at, and while using it is generally easy, there is a learning curve the first time due to the fact that Garmin uses its own OS. Battery life is also excellent, with around ten days of usage, which gets knocked down to five days if you have the always-on display, although that's still quite a significant amount of time.
