TL;DR<\/p>\n
The Google Play Store is showing a promotion for the Galaxy Watch 8 with a limited-time $20 discount.
\nHowever, Samsung\u2019s existing lineup of smartwatches isn\u2019t available directly on the Google Store just yet.
\nThis discovery comes ahead of the expected release of the Galaxy Watch 9 at Unpacked this month.<\/p>\n
We loved the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> and what it brought to the table in terms of features and overall comfort. While you\u2019ve been able to buy the smartwatch from several retailers in the US, including Samsung\u2019s own store, the wearable has now landed in an unlikely place.<\/p>\n Listings for the Galaxy Watch 8 are popping up under the \u201cDevices from the Google Store\u201d section in the Play Store, as flagged by the folks at 9to5Google<\/a>. Google is also offering a $20 discount on the smartwatch, with the promo running until July 14.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve spotted this promotion on one of our devices, so it doesn\u2019t seem like an accident on Google\u2019s part. As the screenshots below show, both the 40 and 44mm variants of the smartwatch are on sale. So far, we\u2019re not seeing the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic<\/a>\u00a0here.<\/p>\n For now, the Galaxy Watch promo and listing are visible on the US Play Store, though we can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s available in other markets. However, we\u2019re not finding any direct mention of Samsung\u2019s smartwatches on the US Google Store page.<\/p>\n While a $20 discount certainly sounds appealing, we\u2019ve seen cheaper deals on the smartwatch<\/a> recently, so you\u2019re likely to get a better price elsewhere. A quick look at Samsung\u2019s online store reveals the same 40mm LTE variant of the Galaxy Watch 8 listed at $339.99<\/a>, taking $60 off the asking price compared to the Play Store\u2019s much smaller $20 discount.<\/p>\n Without any official confirmation available from either company, it\u2019s hard to speculate on the nature of this partnership. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come just ahead of the expected launch of the Galaxy Watch 9 at Unpacked<\/a>.<\/p>\n Google is no stranger to selling third-party products on its store, though the selection of items has lately been limited to accessories and a small collection of smart home hardware.<\/p>\n Will you buy Galaxy Watch models from the Google Store?<\/p>\n 2 votes<\/p>\n Yes, provided it is available for the best price.<\/p>\n 50%<\/p>\n No, there are enough places to buy them from already.<\/p>\n 50%<\/p>\n This has the potential to be a major development in Google\u2019s retail business. Samsung is among the most prominent producers of Wear OS smartwatches, so the availability of Galaxy Watches on the Google Store may benefit both parties.<\/p>\n As for consumers, where it\u2019s sold shouldn\u2019t matter as long as it\u2019s available for the right price. We don\u2019t see Google moving the needle too much with this minor $20 discount, though.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Galaxy-Watch-8-Play-Store-Sales.jpeg\"\/ "\\"Galaxy")
