Who needs the Galaxy Watch 8? The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 just hit a new record-low price.
SAVE $269: The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is marked down to $180.99 at Best Buy, dropping this smartwatch from its usual $449.99.
A premium Samsung smartwatch has had one of the most impressive price drops we’ve seen lately among wearables. As of July 30, Best Buy has the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (43mm, LTE) on clearance for just $180.99 — a steep $269 discount that undercuts nearly every other retailer right now.
This deal is for the LTE-enabled stainless steel version, giving you the freedom to make calls, send texts, stream music, and access notifications without being tethered to your phone (service plan required). It’s the perfect pick for anyone who loves the timeless design of a traditional watch but wants the smarts of Samsung’s latest wearable tech.
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s rotating bezel makes navigating apps effortless, while its durable crystal glass and sleek 43mm build keeps it looking sharp for any occasion.
Under the hood, you’re getting a powerful suite of health and fitness tools: automatic workout detection, tracking for 90+ exercises, personalised heart rate zones for optimised training, and advanced sleep coaching that can even detect snoring and guide you toward better rest.
There’s also continuous heart rhythm monitoring, a bioelectrical impedance sensor for body composition readings (BMI, muscle mass, body water, and more), and seamless connectivity across Galaxy devices. Swap out the included fabric band in seconds for a new look thanks to Samsung’s easy one-click system.
When we first reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 at launch back in late 2023, we were already impressed with all the features you get, whilst still being cheaper than competitors even then (like the Google Pixel watches). While its battery life doesn’t raise the bar, and some pushy automatic alerts can be annoying, the $181 price tag definitely helps see past them.
