Black Friday is still weeks away, but some great tech deals have already started rolling in. We\u2019ve already been spotting solid discounts on both everyday essentials and big-ticket upgrades. It\u2019s also a great time to grab a brand-new smartwatch, especially if you\u2019ve been on the lookout for something that offers a nice blend of connectivity, plus health features.<\/p>\n
Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm, Bluetooth, Graphite) is 11% off on Amazon, bringing the price down to $339<\/a>. Some other color options are discounted, too, but the prices may vary. This is also one of the latest smartwatches in Samsung Galaxy\u2019s lineup, so this kind of early discount is unexpected, and it\u2019s likely not going to last too long. Snag it up for less while there\u2019s still time.<\/p>\n See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n A Healthy Mix of Health and Connectivity Features<\/p>\n Samsung has stuck with its classic round dial here, just like in past models. It\u2019s not too bulky, though, and gives off a sleek, premium look when on. The screen itself is quite bright, which makes it easier to use even in bright daylight, and the fit is snug so you won\u2019t have to keep adjusting it throughout the day.<\/p>\n On the health front, you\u2019re getting a bunch of useful features. The watch tracks your heart rate, steps, and now includes Vascular Load monitoring to keep your stress levels in check. Wearing it while sleeping gets you Advanced Sleep Coaching that offers insights into your sleep quality. You will be able to understand your patterns and build better sleep habits. There\u2019s also Bedtime Guidance which suggests an ideal doze-off time based on your current routine for energized, most productive days.<\/p>\n Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the Running Coach that provides real-time feedback on your performance. You also get an Energy Score first thing in the morning. This feature takes your previous day\u2019s sleep, activity, and heart rate data and gives you an insight into how ready your body is for the day ahead.<\/p>\n The battery life is solid, and the watch supports fast charging, meaning when running low on power, it will be back up and running in no time. Even better, when you have it connected to your phone, you\u2019ll enjoy instant access to notifications, calls, and apps right on your wrist.<\/p>\n
