Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is at its lowest price ever in this early Prime Day deal
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra has been out for nearly a year and it's one of the best smartwatches you can get. A sequel is likely to launch soon, but if you're looking for a bargain — this early Prime Day deal is for you. Right now you can get the Galaxy Watch Ultra (47mm/LTE) for just $399 at Amazon. That's the lowest price we've seen yet, knocking $250 off the normal price. Samsung's high-end smartwatch is under $400 for the first time ever with this early Prime Day deal, but only for the Titanium Gray and Titanium White models. The Titanium Silver variant is also on sale, but only for $180 off. It's the cheapest price we've seen for the 47mm watch. It boasts a sportier and more durable design than the Galaxy Watch 7 and it's one of the best smartwatches for tracking workouts. Similar to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is the high-end luxury watch in the company's smartwatch range with a number of upgrades over the Galaxy Watch 7 including longer battery life, a more durable design and an extra button. The watch is already cheaper than the best Apple Watch, which is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 available for $649 on Amazon; $250 more than the Galaxy Watch Ultra is going for in this deal. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the one that changed my mind about smartwatches, and I wear it near daily, especially when tracking walks and running stats. It's far sportier than the main Galaxy Watch and includes dual-band GPS tracking and active sensors. While it might not match the sports tracking of the best Garmin watches, the Galaxy Watch Ultra offers a lot more smart features, and if you want a sporty Wear OS device it's the standout option, especially at this knockdown price.

Samsung could charge monthly FEE for top gadget owned by millions – and you'll miss perks if you don't pay
CUSTOMERS could be charged a monthly fee if they want to get their hands on Samsung's latest update. The latest software in the tech giant's smart watch line introduces unrivalled health features, but also an update that could alienate millions of its existing users. 1 Samsung's new update could see customers charged a monthly fee Credit: AFP The tech company is exploring the introduction of a premium subscription model, comparable to Garmin's Connect Plus and But who will be affected? Well, with only one month until its official release, Samsung has yet to announce who will have to pay to access this functionality, and also how much it will cost. READ MORE IN TECH Pak told CNET: "We believe wellness isn't just one thing. It's activity, nutrition, mental health, and sleep combined. "What we really think we can do is bring this data about sleep, nutrition, activity and stress, and really contextualize it for the user," Pak added. Samsung first launched its smartwatches with the Samsung Galaxy Gear in September 2013 . This watch update comes one year after the tech giant unveiled the Galaxy Watch 7, which retailed at £289. Most read in Tech The update will debut with the imminent release of the Galaxy Watch 8 series next month, but is currently undergoing a trial phase. The One UI 8 Watch Beta Programme will be launched in select countries and will be accessible to those with compatible older watches. Available in both the USA and The update, once released, will give users a variety of health features, including a non-invasive Antioxidant Index check, Bedtime Guidance, AI Running Coach, and Vascular Load. The reason behind having such innovative and unrivalled features is that the company aims to make a more proactive health monitor to help stand out in a market full of like-for-like fitness trackers. Who gets these features? The soon-to-be-released update and watch form part of Samsung's goal of making clinical-level insights accessible at home. While the features will make an official debut with the arrival of the new Galaxy watch in July, it will be available on some older models. The compatibility for each device will depend on whether it has advanced LED sensory, which will be essential to power these premium functions. Therefore, more complex features, Vascular Load and Antioxidant Index, will be available only on any watch after and including Galaxy Watch Ultra, with the AI Running Coach available on the Galaxy Watch 7 or later. How much does it cost? It is not known how much this may cost. The Sun has approached Samsung for a comment.

Shoppers race to buy Galaxy watch for £69 as warned of 'limited availability'
Shoppers will save £360 on this Samsung Galaxy watch through this fast selling Wowcher deal. The vast majority of people these days have smart watches as they allow users to track their health and fitness, as well keep an eye on notifications and control their music without having to pick up their smartphone. While these high tech gadgets are practical for day to day use, many of them come with a hefty price tag - especially newer releases that are equipped with a swathe of new features. While many of us would like the latest and brightest devices, some of us simply can't afford to part with the cash. For those who are wanting to buy a new smart watch and don't mind it being refurbished, Wowcher currently has a cracking deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro LTE 45mm Smart Watch. Priced at £429 when it was released, savvy shoppers can now snap up the watch for only £69. It should be noted that the Watch5 Pro was first released in 2022 and it is currently no longer available on the Samsung website, reports the Express. This means Wowcher is one of the few places that is still selling the smart watch. As a refurbished device, the watch has had a previous owner and has been worked on by experts to bring it back to its 'just out of box' spec. With a 'Grade C/Fair' condition rating, the retailer states the watch is: "A working product in average cosmetic condition. May have very noticeable scratches and show wear and tear." For those happy to spend a little bit more on a higher grade watch, the Watch5 Pro can also be purchased for £99 at a 'Grade A/Very good' rating. This means: "Expect only minor cosmetic blemishes visible on close inspection - overall appearance is close to pristine. All features work perfectly." Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro LTE 45mm Smart Watch £429 £69 Wowcher Buy Now Product Description While the Watch5 may not have all the same features as the newer Galaxy Watch7's, it is still compatible with the Samsung phones released this year. Additionally, the watch is said to offer 'exceptional durability' and a 'premium build' as it boasts a titanium case and a sapphire crystal AMOLED display. As a fitness tracker, the smart watch also comes with a variety of health features, such as a 3-in-1 BioActive sensor to track the user's heat rate, body composition and ECG, as well as help with sleep analysis. Along with workout tracking, the watch also comes with a built-in GPS to help keep its wearer on an accurate path. With an impressive battery life of 80 hours on a single charge (around two to three days of use), shoppers will also be able to have access to their texts, calls and any other important notifications. For those wanting one of the flagship Samsung watches, Amazon has dropped the price of the Galaxy Watch7. Normally retailing at £319, shoppers can now snap up the high tech watch for £279 in a limited time deal. With Galaxy AI, the watch is said to understand the user's body better and start the day with an energy score. Alternatively, shoppers can buy the Fitbit Versa 4 Smart Watch from Argos for £179. Available in pink, black or blue, this smart watch is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. With a six day plus battery life, shoppers will be able to track over 40 exercises and their sleep with the thin, lightweight device. Back to the Watch5 Pro, some customers left reviews of the device on the Samsung website before it was discontinued. One person said: "This watch strikes the perfect balance between style, functionality, and performance. "Whether you're tracking your fitness goals, staying connected, or simply looking for a stylish timepiece, this smartwatch is a fantastic choice. It's a worthy addition to Samsung's ecosystem and an excellent option for smart watch enthusiasts." However, another reviewer wasn't as impressed, as they said: "Bad battery, disconnects from phone a lot, notifications don't come up." In terms of Wowcher, the website has received a lot of high praise on Trustpilot for its refurbished tech. One five-star reviewer said: "Purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro at an unbeatable reduced price. As a MacBook user for over a decade and a half, I am impressed with the quality of the product." Another said: "I have just ordered a brand new 7" screen smartphone at an unbelievably low price - lower than a replacement LCD screen on my current mobile. Looking forward to its delivery." However, one Wowcher customer who ordered a refurbished Apple Watch was left disappointed. They explained: "When it arrived, it was battered, scratched and in an unacceptable condition. The battery health was 'severely depleted', making me question what level of refurbishment had actually been done." To buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro LTE 45mm Smart Watch, click HERE.
