Amazon Prime Day is just a few days away, but the e-commerce giant has launched a surprisingly good offer on one of the best Galaxy Watches, setting the stage for the big event. Believe it or not, the Galaxy Watch 8 can be yours for just about $250 instead of nearly $380.

This brings the 44mm model down to its lowest price so far, by the way. Most promos for this wearable typically hover around $60, making this a truly rare and exciting savings opportunity.

$130 off (34%)

The Galaxy Watch 8 with an 44mm case is now on sale at a seriously low price. You can currently buy the US variant with an included two-year warranty for $130 off at Amazon, making it one of the hottest early Prime Day deals.

With this generation of smartwatches, Samsung decided to shake things up a bit. The design is no longer circular but more 'squircle,' providing a better fit and less wobbling on your wrist.

As my colleague said in the Galaxy Watch 8 review, the improved fit allows you to get better readings, so this model is a more reliable fitness companion than its predecessors.

And if you're passionate about sports, you might particularly like the new personal running coach feature. It evaluates your fitness level after a short run and gives you insightful guidance to improve your overall condition.

On top of that, the wearable boasts exceptional automatic workout detection. It picks up your activity as soon as you start working out, so you don't need to remember to manually start tracking the workout every time.

With insightful sleep metrics and a detailed breakdown of your sleep stages, heart rate tracking, and dual-band GPS, this Galaxy Watch is a pretty solid choice for many.

And while its successor is getting released in just about a month (the Watch 9 should be unveiled alongside the Z Fold 8/Z Flip 8 on July 22), I think this 34% discount makes the Galaxy Watch 8 a fantastic option for Samsung phone users.

If you're tempted by this promo, I suggest you act fast. Amazon is only selling the model in Graphite at such a huge discount, which suggests it might not last too long.

$90

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
