Samsung has launched its latest Galaxy Watch8 alongside the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 smartphones, and Sky Mobile is offering a deal that undercuts both Samsung and Amazon. The watch, described as the thinnest and most comfortable Galaxy Watch ever, features Galaxy AI, a revamped user interface, and a Super AMOLED screen.
Sky Mobile customers can get the 40mm Bluetooth model for £10 per month on a 36-month contract, totalling £360. This works out at roughly 33p per day, beating the £319 price tag from Samsung and Amazon for a similar model. However, it is worth noting that Sky's offering lacks 4G connectivity, unlike Samsung's £369 Bluetooth and 4G variant.
For those wanting a larger screen, the 44mm Bluetooth model is available for £11 per month, costing £396 over the contract term. While the commitments are long-term, the spread cost makes it attractive for shoppers who prefer not to pay a lump sum.
The Galaxy Watch8 has received a 4.8-star rating from Samsung customers, with no negative reviews so far. One five-star review described it as a “fab piece of technology” with a clear LCD screen and battery lasting over 24 hours. Another user praised its water resistance and reliable swiping function.
However, the watch may not be suitable for iPhone users, as one reviewer noted its limited compatibility with Apple devices. Overall, it is being hailed as a solid upgrade for fitness and tech enthusiasts, with faster performance and advanced health tracking features.
