The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 launched in 2023 with top-notch specs and features, with its main rival being the Pixel Watch 2 for Android users. Fast-forward to 2025, both of these smartwatches have held strong as good options for people in those ecosystems, Samsung and Google, respectively. If you’re a Samsung user (or just Android) and are looking for a deal on a solid smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is just $180.99 (originally $449.99) after a nearly 60% discount from Best Buy. For reference, this model is $329.99 on Amazon right now.
The Galaxy Watch 6 has a 1.3-inch, 2,000-nit bright AMOLED display with a digital bezel for quick scrolling through menus. If you’re looking for the bigger 47mm screen with LTE, that option is also available on Best Buy for $240.99 ( originally $479.99).
With an Android smartwatch, you’ll be getting all the latest Wear OS features. Some features specific to the Galaxy Watch 6 include an accelerometer to measure your speed, GPS tracking, a heart rate monitor, a blood oxygen monitor, a temperature sensor, and others. The Galaxy Watch 6 also allows you to make or receive phone calls from your Android phone, regardless of being Bluetooth distance or not.
PCMag thinks the Galaxy Watch 6 is “excellent,” and called it the best Android-compatible smartwatch of 2023. Yes, that’s almost two years ago, but for the price, it’s still a solid option for Samsung users. The biggest downside will be the limited battery life of about 22 hours, depending on your use.
What do you think so far?
If you like to track your body composition, calendar, daily activity, heart rate, sleep, stress, weather, or workouts, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will do that for you on a budget. If you want the latest option, the Galaxy Watch 8 is also currently discounted despite just being released this month. But if you’re not attached to the Samsung ecosystem, I highly recommend the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro.
