The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic got a massive 50% discount in time for Christmas

We just found one of the best Samsung deals of the year. We don't usually get 50% off anything. But Samsung's latest and greatest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, is now available at half price in the USA.

In short, Samsung offers a $250 discount on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic as long as you choose the “No” trade-in option. And why would you consider a trade-in anyway?

With a trade-in, you get $250 off at most under select criteria. Meanwhile, this no-trade-in deal guarantees $250 off, no more and no less.

This $250 deal is even better than the offer Samsung USA had on Black Friday. Back then, the company offered a $200 discount.

Buying the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for $249 is a steal, even now that everyone is rolling out their holiday offers before the end of the year.

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is considered by many to be the real flagship smartwatch of the year. The Watch Ultra is technically superior because it has some titanium case components and is rated higher for deep diving.

However, the Watch Ultra is a relaunched 2024 model, whereas the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a brand-new 2025 design. It's also the only 2025 model with a physical rotating bezel.

In any case, if you decide to buy the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, you should also check out Samsung's bundle offers. You can save 55% on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

The 55% bundle price cut is also pretty great if you need to pair your new smartwatch with wireless earbuds while you're out for a fitness session without your phone weighing you down.
