Samsung’s older smartwatch lineups — including the Galaxy Watch 7, Watch 8, and Watch 8 Classic — are now seeing steep discounts during Fall Prime Day, making them an appealing option for buyers who don’t necessarily need the very latest model. If you’re willing to opt for last year’s tech, you can save big without compromising too much.
Current Best Deals
The 40mm Galaxy Watch 7 has dropped to about $159, with the 44mm variant close behind at $190 — both hovering just above previous all-time lows. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 8’s smaller 40mm model has finally hit its lowest price ever at roughly $220, and the slightly larger 44mm size is close to its cheapest at around $250.
For those eyeing the premium build, the Watch 8 Classic, with its 46mm case and rotating bezel, is available for about $350 — not far off its record low price of $335 seen back during Prime Day in June. If you’d rather get Samsung’s newest smartwatch, though, the Watch 9 is directly discounted to about $319 from Samsung’s store.
Is It Worth Waiting or Buying Now?
While newer models often offer upgraded hardware, features, or design tweaks, these older Galaxy watches are still very capable. If functionality and value matter more than having the bleeding edge, these deals may make more sense than spending extra for the latest generation.
It’s worth noting that not every price in this sale is a historic low. The 40mm Watch 8 manages that feat; others are “near” all-time lows. Buyers should double-check deal history if trying to snag the absolute best deal.
Bottom line: if you want solid smartwatch performance without breaking the bank, this Fall Prime Day could be your moment.
What this means: Samsung’s strategy of discounting slightly older models heavily demonstrates how competitive the smartwatch market has become, especially in a category where incremental updates are more evolutionary than revolutionary. For shoppers, it means excellent value if you buy smart — old isn’t always weak. For Samsung, it’s a balancing act: clearing inventory while keeping the brand’s reputation for innovation. If the next Watch model doesn’t bring substantive change, Samsung may turn more to pricing tactics to drive demand.
