Amazon just knocked £300 off the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, and it’s now better value than last year’s Black Friday event

There’s still a few weeks to go until the retail event of the year comes around again, but you and I know that Amazon always has some early Black Friday deals up its sleeve – and if you’re in need of a smartwatch upgrade, Amazon just knocked £300 off the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Yes, you read that right – while the Galaxy Watch Ultra is no stranger to a good price cut, this early Black Friday deal is pretty historic, bringing it down to £299 (was £599).

Not only is this a record-low price for one of the best smartwatches, and half the original RRP, it turns out that this deal is better than last year’s Black Friday offer.

If you’ve been stuck using an older model like the Galaxy Watch 7 and you’re after a more advanced wearable, the Galaxy Watch Ultra offers upgrades across the board.

It brings a lot of extra features to the table, including the Quick button, allowing you to kick-start a workout straight away, and thanks to its dual-frequency GPS your workout logs will have added accuracy. Additionally, there’s an emergency siren that will let you signal for help if you find yourself in trouble in the outdoors.

As for the design, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is tough as old boots, packing a robust titanium casing that’s fully dive-proof with IP68 and 10ATM ratings, so you can rest assured that the Watch Ultra can survive all kinds of conditions and impacts which models such as the Galaxy watch 7 couldn’t – although that does mean it’s on the chunkier side, which is something to consider if you prefer a wearable that’s light on the wrist.
