Snag the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 LTE for Just $270 Before Time Runs Out

The 44mm LTE model is discounted to a new low, offering premium features without the premium price.

The big holiday sales event may be over, but this Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 deal is here to put other smartwatch offers to shame. Last week’s sales saw the 40mm Galaxy Watch 8 model sell for $250 (that price is still live, too). But this deal laughs in its face and instead sells the larger 44mm configuration with LTE connectivity for just $270.

This deal is available in a single color, so you’ll need to like the silver finish. You also need to make sure that you place your order soon, because this deal ends in a couple of days or sooner if stock runs out.

The Galaxy Watch 8’s larger size makes it ideal for those with bigger wrists or anyone who prefers a larger display. LTE support means you can use it without your phone, perfect for runs or other activities where carrying a device isn’t convenient.

Alongside the phone-free connectivity, this model also includes sleep tracking and activity monitoring despite its thin and light design. It lasts a full day on a single charge, so you won’t need to carry your charger everywhere.

Note that Woot only offers this smartwatch with its own 90-day limited warranty, something that might put some buyers off. If you’d rather have a more traditional Samsung two-year warranty the same watch is available at Amazon for a premium price of $330. That’s $100 off the regular price but the price will only last for a few more hours at the time of writing.
