Last year we were advising you to get a dumb watch, now we’re showing you a Samsung smart watch? It’s not that simple, and both have their place. Plus, this deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is pretty juicy, so we think you should have a look anyhow. Usually $430, the watch is now just $150. That’s a savings of $280, which accounts for 65% of the watch’s regular price. There’s not much time to get the watch, however, as this deal was already set to end in 13 hours while this article was being written. And that’s not even taking into account that the deal ends when it sells out. All of this is to say, if you’re interested in this deal, go ahead and tap the button below to see if its still being offered, as it very well might not be. If you see that it is, keep reading to learn more about the crew’s personal experiences with the watch.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

As stated before, even though we do love a good fitness tracker, showing off a smart watch isn’t our usual modus operandi around these parts. But, some deals are just too good to pass up. That’s why we’re taking a look at the expertise of our sister site, Digital Trends, and encouraging you to read our Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review. Our reviewer found the watch to be quite comfortable. For the larger screen, he wore the 44mm watch despite having a smaller wrist and had no problems wearing it comfortably. The watch is IP68 dust and waterproof as well, offering some of the best dust and water protection that electronic devices can have.

If this pulls your fancy then you need to tap the button below as soon as possible. If you’re still in luck, you’ll find the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 for just $150.

If you lead an active lifestyle, then having a watch that can keep up with you is important, especially if you want something that can integrate well with your phone and add extra features. Probably one of the best examples of that is the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is very much targeted to those who want a smartwatch that can keep up with a fit and active life. Of course, being a high-end Apple product, it's very expensive, and at full price, it's going to cost you a hefty $799. Luckily, there's a great deal right now you can pick up from Amazon that discounts it down to $740, which is just $10 more expensive than it was on Black Friday, so it's an incredible deal to find at this point of the year. Just be sure to clip the coupon on the page before buying it to get the full discount.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2
While the Ultra 2 can survive in extreme environments, such as at the top of the tallest mountain, most folk will likely use it for things like hiking, rock climbing, and things of that nature. To that end, it's well-suited to being on the go, such as with the Double Tap feature that allows you to control the watch one-handed, which is useful if you're clinging to a rock face or holding on to supplies. Screen brightness has also been boosted to 3,000 nits, so you'll be able to see it even in direct sunlight. As for the battery life, well, you can expect around 36 hours on normal usage or a more impressive 72 hours in low-power mode, although some features will be missing.
