Fitness watches aren’t always known for being polite, but I do know of one that is actually thoughtful and effective when it tells you to take a movement break. Normally $499.99, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is currently on sale for $369.99 as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
As my colleague Beth Skwarecki shares in her in-depth review, this fitness watch’s alerts are customizable and gentle in its nudges. This is huge for anyone who has stress dreams over closing their rings.
Overall, the Galaxy 8 Classic is a well-designed watch that not only looks stylish, but also communicates information in a way that actually makes sense. For instance, heart rate zones come with a note about what they’re based on. Similarly, the built-in running coach unlocks two workouts at a time, so that you can do them out of order or skip one guilt-free.
If you’re not sure whether to get the regular Galaxy 8 or the Classic, the biggest difference is that the Classic comes with a rotating bezel that helps you navigate the menus. For loyal Samsung users, that rotating bezel makes the Classic a fan favorite.
