The Apple Watch SE and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are both on sale

When it comes to smartwatches, two of the best brands on the market are Apple and Samsung. The Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy lineup are both made up of numerous models with attractive designs, exciting features, and pretty reasonable prices. But it’s our job to watch out for the latest and greatest smartwatch promos, and as luck would have it, both the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are on sale at Best Buy!

Sleek and stylish, the second generation of the Apple Watch SE brings several meaningful changes to the table, including an enhanced processor, improved battery (up to 18 hours on a full charge), and an incredible selection of apps to choose from. The SE 2nd Gen also comes with 32GB of storage and a WR50 water resistance rating, which means the watch can be submerged in up to 164 feet of water for short periods.

We tested original Apple Watch SE, and reviewer Andy Boxall said, “The Apple Watch SE misses out on some of the flashier features on the Series 6, but keeps nearly all the important ones, along with the same design, at a lower price.” We also recommend checking out our list of the best Apple Watch deals for even more Apple discounts.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (with GPS, 47mm) — $260 $430 39% off

We see a lot of Samsung Galaxy deals, but this smartwatch offer had us triple-checking our contacts prescription. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is a work of art, from its comfortable wear and regal-looking appearance to its bright, colorful 47mm screen. It’s also one of the best smartwatches on the market when it comes to health and fitness features.

We tested the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, and reviewer Andy Boxall said, “The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic has superb styling, all-day comfort, comprehensive health tracking, and more. It’s the smartwatch to buy for your Android phone.”

We’re not sure how long this sale is going to last, but we’d recommend buying either smartwatch sooner rather than later. Save $88 on the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen with GPS, 40mm) and $170 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (with GPS, 47mm) when you purchase today. And before you go, may we suggest a quick look-through of our best smartwatch deals, just to make sure there’s not another model with a low price that you’re interested in.
