If you’re serious about your fitness, sleep habits and overall convenience, investing in a smartwatch can be a smart move. Samsung makes some of the best Android smartwatches<\/a> out there, and the latest Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> doesn’t fall short. This one is a serious upgrade from the previous generation models, and right now, you can snag one for less.<\/p>\n

Amazon is currently offering a limited-time preorder bundle that includes the Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm) and a $50 Amazon gift card for $350<\/a>, that’s the same price as just the watch itself at Samsung<\/a> — which means the $50 gift card is essentially thrown in for free. The watch officially releases on July 25, and this deal is valid through July 24. If you’ve been planning to upgrade, now’s the time to lock it in. <\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 goes beyond the basics and recently earned a CNET review score of 8.2\/10<\/a>. It impressed our editors with a handful of standout features, including the Antioxidant Index, which checks the carotene levels (a type of antioxidant) in your skin with just a press of your thumb on the sensor, and Vascular Load, which measures strain on your heart while you\u2019re asleep.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also get a built-in Running Coach that can analyze your performance and give real-time feedback to help you train better. And if you\u2019re someone who takes sleep seriously, you will appreciate upgraded sleep coaching and bedtime guidance. These features recommend an ideal bedtime window after monitoring your circadian rhythm and sleep pressure for three days. <\/p>\n

Even better, the watch offers a new, slimmer and more lightweight cushion design that still keeps that classic minimalist look. There\u2019s a lot to like about this upgrade, but just make sure you grab the preorder bundle in time to get the best value.<\/p>\n
