Newest Samsung Galaxy smartwatch is down to £179 – but Amazon is selling a ‘fantastic’ cheap alternative for £24

AMAZON is offering some fantastic tech deals on Android smartwatches right now, and I’ve found two worth checking out.

First up, there’s the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch6 for £179. On the other hand, you can opt for a more affordable 43mm alternative for under £24, which is wowing customers with its stellar battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Watch6, £289 £179

The first option that piqued my interest on Amazon was this offer on the Samsung Galaxy Watch6.

It’s seen a healthy 38% slashed off its asking price, dropping from a tall £289 to a much more wallet-friendly £179.

That’s a remarkable offer, especially considering this model held the spotlight in the Galaxy Watch series until just this month when the Galaxy Watch7 took the lead.

Samsung’s smartwatches offer top-tier features tailored for both health and fitness enthusiasts and everyday convenience.

You can monitor your sleep with advanced sleep-tracking features that analyse your patterns and offer personalised sleep coaching to form healthier habits.

It also boasts a BioActive sensor, which measures your body composition to tailor detailed fitness plans for your needs, and supports more than 90 types of workouts.

Perhaps the best feature of the Galaxy Watch6 is its integrated PPG sensor, which constantly tracks your heart rate and alerts you to any abnormalities.

Out of over 70 reviews, the Galaxy Watch6 clinched a stellar 5-star rating from 51 users, with an extra 7 granting it a solid 4 stars.

A delighted 5-star reviewer praised: “This watch is very light to wear and is very comfortable particularly when you are sleeping.”

They added: “Once you have set the watch to your preferences, it records all your exercises whether auto-recorded or input manually.”

You can find more Samsung smartwatch deals available this week, with Amazon slashing over a dozen models.

Ruimen Smart Watch, £39.99 £23.99

My next find was an Android smartwatch from a relatively unknown brand, presenting a more affordable alternative.

The Ruimen Smart Watch, initially priced at £39.99, was already a cost-effective alternative to the Galaxy model.

But, you can now snag the Ruimen for only £23.99, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers.

Granted, the Ruimen may not be on the same level as Samsung, but it boasts some comparable features.

Plus, it’s the No. 1 best-selling smartwatch on Amazon right now, so it’s certainly hitting the mark with buyers.

Much like the Galaxy Watch6, it tracks your daily activities like steps, distance, and calories burned.

It even comes with comparable sports optical sensors for 24-hour heart rate monitoring, keeping you informed on your heart health.

By syncing the watch with its dedicated app, you’ll gain access to detailed body monitoring data, and 100 sports modes.

Better still, it’s got a leg up on Samsung’s model, which has left users let down with its 24-hour battery life. While the Ruimen powers through for several days on a single charge.

It boasts a 4.6-star rating on Amazon, earning praise for its impressive performance, long-lasting battery, and overall quality.

Of the almost 6,000 5-star reviewers, one dubbed it “fantastic”, adding: “I had a Fitbit previously but this smartwatch is so much better. There are so many functions on it from tracking your sleep levels to your stress levels.”

Another wrote: “For a budget buy it’s not too dissimilar to the Samsung Watch6. One advantage it does have is a bigger face which makes the navigation around the installed apps a lot easier.”

They continued: “The screen is very bright and crystal clear. All in all, probably the best bargain buy I have ever had.”

I’ve also squared off the Apple Watch against the Samsung Watch in my handy guide, offering insights to help you determine the best fit for your needs.

Amazon has been rolling out a slew of tech deals ahead of Prime Day this month, and we’ve been highlighting the top ones for you.

This week, I came across a top-brand Chromebook, slashed from £300 to just £179. Shoppers are raving about it, calling it ‘small, compact, and speedy.’

Our resident deal finder, Rhys Malhado-Thompson, highlighted an Android smartphone, marked down from £300 to £170.
