I review smartwatches for a living, and I recommend this Amazon Prime Day deal
Don't want an Apple Watch? This is the best smartwatch deal you can get
If you’re on Android, and especially if you use a Samsung Galaxy phone, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is probably going to be the best smartwatch you can buy. And whether you live in the UK or the US, you can get it for a knockdown price right now thanks to the Amazon Prime Day smartwatch deals.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is top of our list of the best smartwatches as the best watch for most people, provided you’re not already using an iPhone. It’s a great watch that's reasonably priced, and boasts advanced health and fitness features, good sleep tracking features, great communication tools, and a wealth of apps courtesy of the Google Play store.
Right now, you can get the larger 44mm model of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 for under $175 in Amazon’s US deals, a huge discount of 44%. The smaller 40mm model is also on sale in the US for $151, a 46% discount.
In the UK, it’s a similar story, with the 44mm Watch 5 getting a 31% discount that brings it down from £289 to £199, the lowest price it's ever been. If you want the smaller 40mm model you’re out of luck, but the Galaxy Watch 4’s 40mm model is also a great watch, and it's down to £149 right now – again, the lowest price it's ever been.
