The Galaxy Watch 8 is one of our favorite smartwatches for Android. It features Google’s Gemini voice assistant built in, which blows the Siri experience on the Apple Watch out of the water.
Right now you can get the Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm/BT) for $425 (CAD) via coupon code “GALAXY15FUTURE”. That’s $74 off and one of the best deals I’ve seen on Samsung’s watch. The coupon code can be used on other models, including the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. Here’s the top deals in Samsung’s latest sale.

The Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) have a lot of similarities. However, on the inside the watches have different hardware. Here’s what you get with each model.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is our favorite Android smartwatch, thanks to more detailed/actionable holistic insights and a more engaging tactile interface. It also adds ten hours to the overall battery life performance, along with a rotating bezel and an extra custom button.
The Galaxy Watch 8 is a great smartwatch, but we’re bigger fans of the upgrades on the Classic. Make sure to read our Galaxy Watch 8 review for our full thoughts on Samsung’s watches.
