We live in an age of wearable technology, and one of the most popular smartwatches on the market is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. We’ve had the opportunity to test this bad boy out ourselves and truly enjoyed the experience. The Galaxy Watch lineup is well known for its performance benchmarks, comfortable fit, and versatile app selection, but it can be challenging to find Samsung Galaxy Watch deals. Fortunately, that’s where the Best Buy 4th of July Sale comes in.

And as a matter of fact, we’ve already locked our sights on a phenomenal 40mm Galaxy Watch 6 promotion. When you purchase the device now through July 7 at Best Buy, you’ll be able to take $90 off the normal price of $300. While Best Buy deals are always on our radar, this is one of the best we’ve seen for a Samsung smartwatch.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6

When it comes to smartwatches, you’ll want a device that can keep up with your lifestyle. From fitness tracking to battery life and overall usability, the Galaxy Watch 6 is outfitted with the right core peripherals for the job. That includes an Exynos W930 CPU that delivers max speeds of 1.4GHz, joined by a Mali-G68 GPU. Whether you’re cycling back and forth between numerous apps or you’re using one of the Galaxy Watch’s many health and wellness capabilities, the Watch 6 has plenty of power to get the job done.

Speaking of health: The Galaxy Watch 6 tracks everything from blood oxygen and calories burned to hours slept and laps swam. It’s one of the best wearables for honing in on our vitals, and the comfortable 40mm band will make you forget you’re even wearing a watch half the time.

You’ll also be able to use the Galaxy Watch 6 to access some of your smartphone features while you’re on the move. This includes texts, notifications, listening to music, and even the ability to call friends and family. Those looking for the best phone to wearable experience should use a Samsung Galaxy smartphone for ideal results.

As we mentioned, this deal expires on July 7. If you’ve been waiting for smartwatch deals to start cropping up, this is a promo you don’t want to miss. Take home the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 for just $210 while this deal lasts.

Best Buy cut the price of the Apple Watch 9 by $100

There are a lot of great smartwatches options out there, but if you're in the Apple ecosystem already, then it probably makes sense for you to go for one of the Apple Watches, which are some of the best smartwatches on the market. Of course, they do tend to be quite expensive, so if you're looking to save a bit of money, you could grab this deal on the Apple Watch 9 from Best Buy, which discounts the price down to $329 from $429. That's a solid $100 discount, plus you can get up to $235 in trade-in credit, although that's usually only reserved for the latest watches, and you're more likely to get around $100 for trade-in. Either way, you can bring the price down quite significantly.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch 9
There are a lot of great features in the Apple Watch 9, especially if you're a first-time Apple Watch user or if you have an older Apple Watch, like the Series 6 or 7. For example, fitness and health tracking is pretty substantial. It can track anything from blood oxygen levels to skin temperature, and it can even take an electrocardiogram, which is pretty impressive. As such, it's really great for an active lifestyle and is only really beaten out by the likes of the Apple Watch Ultra when it comes to things like hiking, diving, camping, and things of that nature.

Apple Watch SE and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are both on sale at Walmart

If you've been considering grabbing a smartwatch but have been holding out for a good deal, you'll be happy to know that Walmart has a couple of great discounts worth considering. For example, one great option is the Apple Watch SE, which lets you grab an Apple smartwatch for less than $200. Or, if you're an Android phone user, you may want to consider grabbing the Galaxy Watch 6, one of the best smartwatches on the market right now, especially with this deal from Walmart that knocks a solid $60 off the price. Whichever type of watch you're looking for, we've included both options for you to help save a little bit extra.
Apple Watch SE -- $189, was $249

If you're in the Apple ecosystem and want a smartwatch that's relatively cheap, then you'll want to go for the Apple Watch SE 2, which is not only cheap but still has some power in it. While it doesn't have the full suite of tracking that the Apple Watch Series 9 does, it comes with fall and noise detection, can track high or low heart rate, and can even track your cycle, which is a nice addition at this level. Battery life is also pretty great, and you'll get about two days to use it out before needing a recharge, although its recharge speed is a bit on the slower end, which isn't ideal.

Buy a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 while it’s on sale and get buds for $100

There is a lot to love about smartwatches, especially if you're the sort of person who wants to get away from having to look at a screen constantly. Luckily, there are a ton of smartwatches to pick from, but if you're in the Samsung ecosystem, then you probably want to grab yourself a Samsung Galaxy Watch, and the latest is the Watch 6. Of course, it is a bit pricey, usually going for $450, but you can get it today from Samsung for just $370, and you can even get up to $250 of trade-in value on top of that. As if that wasn't enough, if you buy the Watch 6 from Samsung, you can also nab yourself a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro for just $100, rather than the usual $230.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
When the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 came out, it felt like a bit of a letdown given that there wasn't a huge improvement over the Watch 4, but this time, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is quite an upgrade and the perfect time to jump in if you've been on the fence. For example, it has much smaller bezels, so you see more of the screen, and the overall watch is more comfortable to wear, while the sensor underneath has been redesigned to make better contact for more precise measurements. The new Watch OS, with Samsung's own One UI draped over it, is very snappy and has some pretty smooth performance, while the health tracking has also gotten a couple of solid upgrades, with a return of the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis sensor, which can tell you things like BMI and body water.
