Galaxy Watch owners might fancy upgrading to something better, thanks to the latest discount
If you’re a fan of the Galaxy Watch, you might want to check out online deals this weekend. Samsung has just announced a massive discount on its top-tier wearable, making it much more budget-friendly than before.
At its launch last year, the new Galaxy Watch Ultra carried a hefty price tag of £599. However, there’s good news for tech fans as the Korean tech giant has now reduced the price by £100, bringing it down to a more affordable £499.
That seems like a more reasonable price point and it’s even £300 less than its rival, the Apple Watch Ultra. For the uninitiated, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is packed with features that you won’t see on the less expensive models. The price will still be out of reach for some, Amazon is currently running a discount on the rival Apple Watch Ultra.

The device also introduces a Quick Button, allowing swift access to your favourite apps and functionalities with just a tap. No more endless menu scrolling to start a workout or begin a run thanks to this feature, which complements the large, vivid display.
Worth mentioning are some other features: an integrated alarm for when you need urgent help, a special night mode with a red and black screen for better visibility in darkness, and highly accurate GPS for exact location tracking.
Battery life on this premium Galaxy Watch is equally notable, with the capability to run up to 100 hours before needing to recharge.

As well as what the tech experts at The Express think, it’s also popular with everyday wearers.

Considering the price, the band should be better quality.”
