Anyone wavering on whether or not to buy the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic just got rewarded for their hesitation. Best Buy is offering a $100 promotional e-gift card to Galaxy Watch 8 Classic buyers<\/strong><\/a>, but only for a limited time. Add in the trade-in credit for your old smartwatch, and it’ll become a bit more tempting!<\/p>\n

Best Buy is matching Samsung’s enhanced trade-in credit for certain watches, meaning you’ll get a $250 rebate<\/strong> for a good-condition Galaxy Watch 6 Classic<\/a> or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro<\/a>, cutting the Classic’s price in half, while the Galaxy Watch 7 saves you $200. You can also trade in brands like Fitbit, Garmin, Google, Apple, or Oura.<\/p>\n

Amazon is also offering a $100 gift card with the Classic through August 5<\/strong><\/a>, but we don’t see the same trade-in offers, so it’s only the right fit if you don’t plan to send in your old smartwatch. Meanwhile, Samsung also offers $100 instant credit on its store<\/strong><\/a> plus the same trade-in deals as Best Buy, but that gift card is obviously limited to other Samsung devices.<\/p>\n

Having reviewed the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic<\/a>, I really appreciated how its rotating bezel gives me exact controls for easier navigation, as well as its key upgrades over the Watch 6 Classic<\/a> like faster performance and a brighter display.<\/p>\n

But it’s on the heavy side, and its unconventional new design may not be a fan favorite. Plus, there’s unfortunately no 1.5-inch option like the Watch 6 Classic offered. These may be deal-breakers for this otherwise-tempting deal.<\/p>\n

At the very least, the Classic is an aesthetic upgrade over the thinner-but-boxier Galaxy Watch 8<\/a>. But if you are interested in the baseline model, Samsung will give you a $50 e-gift card to buy the Watch 8 instead, with up to $200 in trade-in credit. With the right watch to swap, you’ll only spend $150 on one of the best Android watches<\/a> available, with that extra cash as a bonus.<\/p>\n

Is it worth upgrading to the Galaxy Watch 8 or Watch 8 Classic<\/a>? If you own a Galaxy Watch 7<\/a>, the Watch 8 truly isn’t that big of a jump, aside from the brighter display and some fresh health tools, such as the antioxidant index<\/a> and vascular index.<\/p>\n

But if you’re coming from a 2023 Galaxy Watch or earlier, you’re getting a wide array of new upgrades that’ll improve your smartwatch experience immensely.<\/p>\n

Once this Galaxy Watch 8 Classic deal ends, you’ll have to wait until Black Friday to hope that Samsung discounts it by $100 to match this deal’s value. That’s definitely not a guarantee!<\/p>\n
