Google has started selling the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 on its online store in the US. Some users who open the Google Play Store application on Android phones encounter a promotional area showing Galaxy Watch 8 along with Pixel Watch 4 and Fitbit Air in the “Devices in Google Store” section. Redirection through this section takes users directly to the purchase page in the Google Store. Thus, the purchasing process can be completed in a shorter time by using registered payment information. It is a remarkable development that Google includes Samsung’s new smart watch alongside its own hardware products.
When purchasing via Google Store, Galaxy Watch 8 is offered in two different case options: 40 mm and 44 mm. There is a price tag of $ 399.99 for the 40 mm model and $ 429.99 for the 44 mm model. In addition, Google also offers a $20 discount during shopping. Despite this, the price after the discount appears to remain above the levels offered by other major retailers in the USA.
Galaxy Watch 8 is sold at lower prices in different stores
Different stores offer more advantageous options for users who are considering purchasing the Galaxy Watch 8 through the promotional area in the Google Play Store. While Amazon lists the smartwatch for $ 289, it also adds a two-year warranty service. Similarly, on Samsung’s official online store, the Galaxy Watch 8 is available for the same price of $289. This table shows that despite the campaign offered by Google Store, it lags behind its competitors in terms of price.
Galaxy Watch 8 is among Samsung’s most current smartwatch models. It offers a comprehensive smartwatch experience to Android users with its advanced health tracking, exercise features, sleep analysis and Wear OS-based software experience. However, before making a purchasing decision, it may be useful to consider the new model that is expected to be introduced soon. With the announcement of the new product, there is a possibility of wider discounts on the current model.
Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on July 22, 2026. The company is expected to introduce Galaxy Watch 9 at this event. The pre-order process is expected to start on the same day as the event, and general sales are expected to open on August 5. The new model is expected to come with improved features in health, fitness and general life tracking, as well as offer new software functions based on Wear OS.
After the Galaxy Watch 9 becomes official, it seems likely that there will be new discounts on the price of the Galaxy Watch 8. For this reason, especially for users who make a price-oriented purchasing plan, it may be a better approach to evaluate the current campaigns together with the price changes that may occur after the announcement of the new model. Although it is noteworthy that the Google Store added the Galaxy Watch 8 to its product range, other sales channels in the US market offer more advantageous options for now, considering the current prices.
