Samsung launched its new watch alongside the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 smartphones.
Samsung has added a new addition to its Galaxy smartwatch range and the deals are flying. On July 25, the tech giant launched the new Galaxy Watch8, released alongside its Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 phones.
It’s said to be the thinnest and ‘most comfortable Galaxy Watch ever’, coming packed with Galaxy AI features, a revamped user interface (UI) and super AMOLED screen. Prices start at £319 from Samsung and Amazon, but we’ve found a more affordable deal elsewhere.
At Sky Mobile, shoppers can spread the cost of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 for £10 when opting for the 40mm Bluetooth model. This works out at roughly 33p over a 30-day month.

To get this deal, shoppers can sign up for a 36-month contract, totalling £360 over the minimum term. This is a cheaper alternative to the £369 price tag of Samsung’s Bluetooth and 4G model at Samsung, but bear in mind Sky’s offering doesn’t have 4G capabilities.
Shoppers can also go for Sky’s deal on the larger 44mm Bluetooth model for £11 – a total cost of £396. While Sky Mobile’s smartwatch deals come with long-term commitments, they’re ideal for shoppers looking to bag the latest tech without having to fork out hundreds in one fell swoop.

One five-star review said: “Fab piece of technology. Great device, clear LCD screen for everything. Battery lasts 24 hours and more! Love it.”

The Galaxy Watch8 is yet to receive a negative review from Samsung shoppers.
It won’t be for everyone though, as this user said: “The product looks sleek but the only disadvantage I see is it’s not very compatible with iPhone as it’s Samsung.”
While another glowing review said: “Amazing watch. The Galaxy Watch8 offers a refined design, faster performance and advanced health tracking features.
“With a brighter display, better battery life, and seamless integration with Galaxy devices, it’s a solid upgrade for fitness and tech enthusiasts.”
