The Apple Watch SE and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are both on sale

When it comes to smartwatches, two of the best brands on the market are Apple and Samsung. The Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy lineup are both made up of numerous models with attractive designs, exciting features, and pretty reasonable prices. But it’s our job to watch out for the latest and greatest smartwatch promos, and as luck would have it, both the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are on sale at Best Buy!

Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen with GPS, 40mm) — $162 $250 35% off

Sleek and stylish, the second generation of the Apple Watch SE brings several meaningful changes to the table, including an enhanced processor, improved battery (up to 18 hours on a full charge), and an incredible selection of apps to choose from. The SE 2nd Gen also comes with 32GB of storage and a WR50 water resistance rating, which means the watch can be submerged in up to 164 feet of water for short periods.

We tested original Apple Watch SE, and reviewer Andy Boxall said, “The Apple Watch SE misses out on some of the flashier features on the Series 6, but keeps nearly all the important ones, along with the same design, at a lower price.” We also recommend checking out our list of the best Apple Watch deals for even more Apple discounts.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (with GPS, 47mm) — $260 $430 39% off

We see a lot of Samsung Galaxy deals, but this smartwatch offer had us triple-checking our contacts prescription. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is a work of art, from its comfortable wear and regal-looking appearance to its bright, colorful 47mm screen. It’s also one of the best smartwatches on the market when it comes to health and fitness features.

We tested the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, and reviewer Andy Boxall said, “The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic has superb styling, all-day comfort, comprehensive health tracking, and more. It’s the smartwatch to buy for your Android phone.”

We’re not sure how long this sale is going to last, but we’d recommend buying either smartwatch sooner rather than later. Save $88 on the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen with GPS, 40mm) and $170 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (with GPS, 47mm) when you purchase today. And before you go, may we suggest a quick look-through of our best smartwatch deals, just to make sure there’s not another model with a low price that you’re interested in.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 is on sale for just $40, but with a catch
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G lock screen

If you need a new phone but you're on a tight budget, you probably didn't think to look at Samsung Galaxy deals, as these include the brand's flagship smartphones. However, there are also some extremely affordable options like the Samsung Galaxy A14. The smartphone is on sale for only $40, following a $60 discount on its original price of $100, but it's locked to a Straight Talk prepaid plan. If you're fine with that restriction, then you better hurry as we're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy A14
The Samsung Galaxy A14 scored 4 out of 5 stars in our review, which is surprisingly high for an entry-level smartphone. It "offers a lot of bang for your buck" as a member of Samsung's affordable Galaxy A-Series, and it all begins with the first thing that you'll notice -- a 6.6-inch LCD touchscreen with 1080p resolution. You shouldn't expect it to challenge the display of a flagship model like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but it's still a pretty nice screen for browsing social media, playing mobile games, and watching streaming shows.

Get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 at up to $1,000 off with this offer
The open Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a beast of a phone with a steep price tag, but you can currently get it with an up to $1,000 discount from Samsung through its enhanced trade-in credit program. Trading in even the two-generations-old Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will get you the maximum value, which would drop the price of the 256GB model of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 from $1,900 all the way down to just $900. You're going to have to be quick though, as there's no telling how much time is remaining in this fantastic promotion from Samsung Galaxy deals.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2025 will take place on January 22, but if you'd rather have a foldable smartphone over a traditional device like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25, you won't regret going for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. With a rating of 4 stars out of 5 stars in our review and one of the top spots in our list of the best folding phones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a highly recommended purchase. Gone are the days of durability issues, as it features a fantastic design with an improved hinge, an IP48 resistance rating against water and dust, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 to protect its screen.

Samsung Unpacked 2025, where the Samsung Galaxy S25 is expected to be unveiled, is coming up, which is probably why we're seeing Samsung Galaxy deals for the outgoing generation of flagship smartphones. Here's your chance to get the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at $100 off, which slashes the price of the 256GB model to $1,200 from $1,300, and the 512GB model to $1,320 from $1,420. You can save even more if you trade in your current device. With stocks probably already running low ahead of the launch of the next batch of Samsung Galaxy devices, you better hurry with your purchase if you're interested in this offer.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most powerful Android phones ever built, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip and 12GB of RAM enabling extremely smooth performance and supporting various Galaxy AI tools. Two of the device's most useful AI features are Circle to Search by Google, which is a visual search tool for your photos and any images you see online, and Generative Edit, which can remove certain elements from photos and fills in the blanks. The smartphone ships with Android 14 pre-installed along with One UI 6.1, and of course, it also comes with the S Pen stylus that hides into the bottom of the device.
