The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) didn’t have an especially tempting deal price over the holidays, with the Galaxy Watch 8 easily found for hundreds less. But its price has slowly zig-zagged down from $599 in November to $530 for Cyber Monday, and now $499 on Amazon ($150 off)<\/a> for the new year, an all-time low.<\/p>\n

I reviewed and appreciated the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024)<\/a> for its three-day battery life, rugged titanium design, and fast performance. The 2025 model<\/a> is unchanged in performance and specs, except for its doubled storage space (64GB vs. 32GB). And while the base Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> is a better purchase for most people, only the Ultra lets you avoid daily charging.<\/p>\n

Samsung is offering an “exclusive” Ultra (2025) price of $429 ($220 off)<\/a> on its site, but its best deal prices don’t always show up for everyone, so Amazon’s $499 price is the best from mainstream retailers that we can guarantee is available. Otherwise, you can take a chance on a “Renewed” Galaxy Watch Ultra for only $249 (42% off)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2705Recommended if: You prefer the Watch Ultra’s bulky titanium aesthetic to the Watch 8 Classic<\/a>‘s steel rotating bezel and more “traditional” style, or to the Watch 8’s lightweight squircle imitation. You prefer having battery leeway for intensive activities like streaming music over Wi-Fi or frequent dual-band GPS activities.<\/p>\n

\u274cSkip this deal if: You’re concerned about your smartwatch being too heavy; you’re okay to wait until August for a fully new version; or you can accept daily charging for the Watch 8’s much-lower price.<\/p>\n

Currently, the Galaxy Watch 8 is $279 ($70 off) on Amazon<\/a>, meaning you can save another $220 by choosing it over the Ultra (2025). You’d lose out on the third button, titanium frame, doubled storage, and extra capacity, but you can still get a 1.5-inch, 3,000-nit display and the same performance and four years of software support.<\/p>\n

Another alternative is the OnePlus Watch 3<\/a>, which beats the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s battery life by several days, while offering similar premium perks like a large, bright display and titanium case \u2014 though you’ll get fewer, slower updates and no LTE connectivity. At $298 ($51 off) on Amazon<\/a>, it’s much more affordable.<\/p>\n
