Amazon drops over $100 off Samsung Galaxy Watch Active smartwatch

By Kelly Kaliszewski September 27, 2019

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is geared toward those leading an active lifestyle. It automatically tracks up to six exercises and is capable of tracking up to 39 more and monitoring sleep and stress. The watch syncs with your phone and Galaxy Buds and is compatible with Android and iOS.

Smartwatches are one of the most popular tech items around. With so many different brands and types of smartwatches, it can be difficult to know if you are getting a deal or not. Amazon has

slashed the price on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active,

which makes getting a deal on a smartwatch a no-brainer.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is built to military standards and is water and dust resistant. The water resistance is a great feature for swimmers as you can wear it swimming and it will track your laps. Dust resistance is great for running or any other outdoor activities.

As with other smartwatches, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active has the main features of your smartphone: Calendar, text messages, calling, etc. What sets this watch apart from its competitors is the fact that it is designed to compete with other fitness wearables. Thus, the ability of this watch automatically switches into sleep mode or automatically begins tracking activity is a major plus.

Many users have noted that they miss the rotating bezel that is a main feature of the Samsung Galaxy Watch but that is notably missing from the Active model. Because the user interface is designed to be used with that rotating bezel, its absence on this model is noticeable. However, if you’ve never owned a Samsung Galaxy Watch and are looking for a great smartwatch that doubles as an activity tracker, you will not miss the rotating bezel.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is also significantly smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Watch which most users seem to like. It is reportedly more comfortable to sleep with and many users report forgetting that it is even there. This is a plus for an item that you will be wearing around the clock.

alaxy Tab A7 Lite

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, a tablet that offers a balanced combination of performance and price, is currently on sale from Best Buy for just $130 instead of $160. That's $30 in savings on a device that will give you amazing value, but you'll only get it if you're able to take advantage of this offer. There's no telling when it will expire, but since affordable tablet deals like this usually don't last long, it's highly recommended that you push through with your purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
With nearly 2,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars on Walmart, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is one of the retailer's most popular tablets simply because of its low price. It's equipped with the MediaTek MT8768T processor and 3GB of RAM, which is on the low end for tablets, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. The device won't challenge the best tablets in terms of performance, but it's enough for basic functions like browsing the internet, checking social media, and watching streaming shows. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite's 8.7-inch display featuring 1340 x 800 resolution is large enough so that you can see all the details, but still compact to keep the tablet portable.
