Shopping the Cyber Week sales can be challenging, especially if you want a new smartwatch, but this deal makes life much easier.
If you were considering a new Android-compatible smartwatch, I’d highly recommend the Galaxy Watch FE right now as one of the best budget smartwatches for most people. It’s certainly the cheapest Samsung model I’ve seen this Cyber Week, discounted down to the lowest price it’s ever been.
It only comes in one spec but a few different colours, which makes things easier to price up and compare. The watch usually costs £199 in the UK, but Amazon has dropped the price to just £154.88 for Cyber Week.
That’s a 22% saving, which isn’t the biggest discount figure but it does bring this smartwatch to its lowest price ever.
A few other retailers, such as John Lewis and Currys, have the watch at £169. The latter offers 4 months of Apple TV+ which could make it more valuable overall.
But if you want the Galaxy Watch FE at its outright best price, this Amazon deal is for you. Beware of other listings on Amazon in the £110-£120 range, which are all listed by third-party sellers without many ratings. We suggest sticking to the genuine deal!
Over in the US, there’s a good deal on Samsung’s entry-level 2024 smartwatch. The Galaxy Watch FE usually retails for $199.99, but it’s down to $152.98 in the Cyber Week sales. This isn’t as good as the $126.71 Cyber Monday price, but still a decent discount.
However, if you want to get one of these deals, you’ll need to be quick. Amazon has marketed them as ‘Limited time’ deals, though stock could sell out before the price changes.
In our review, we said the FE has a “sleek and classic” design and “particularly impressive” activity auto-detect and sleep tracking. It might be a repackaged Galaxy Watch 4 but deals like this make it far more tempting.

This smartwatch isn’t too big or heavy, weighing just 26.6g. The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE only comes in one 40mm size.
While big smartwatch fans may be disappointed, the 1.2-inch super AMOLED sapphire crystal display is a decent size and large enough that taps don’t feel finicky – though the bezel is one of the thickest around
You’ll be fine to use this watch both in the rain and in the pool, thanks to its IP68 and 5ATM water resistance ratings.
There’s a wide range of health and fitness tracking options available on the Samsung Galaxy FE, but it’s worth saying off the bat that you’ll get the most out of the features if you have an accompanying Samsung phone.
