Two standout budget smartwatch deals, one clear verdict
Budget smartwatch deals are limited-time price cuts that make already affordable wearables even cheaper, giving buyers access to key fitness, health, and smart features without paying flagship-level prices. Here, the question is simple: are the CMF Watch 3 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 worth grabbing at their new Prime Day prices? In short, yes. The CMF Watch 3 Pro falls to USD 61.75 (approx. RM290) for Prime members from a USD 99 (approx. RM465) list price, its lowest Amazon price in months. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 40mm drops to USD 229.99 (approx. RM1,080) from USD 349.99 (approx. RM1,640), beating its previous yearly low. Both discounts are steep enough that, if you were already smartwatch-curious, this is the moment to buy rather than wait.
“Amazon has cut the price to USD 61.75 (approx. RM290) from the USD 99 (approx. RM465) RRP, a 38% discount relative to the recommended retail price.”
CMF Watch 3 Pro: ultra-cheap fitness and calls
For Prime Day smartwatch sales, the CMF Watch 3 Pro price is the headline-grabber: USD 61.75 (approx. RM290) for Prime members instead of USD 99 (approx. RM465), a 38% discount and the lowest Amazon price since a January flash sale. This is squarely in “impulse buy” territory if you want a low-cost smartwatch for calls, GPS tracking, and workout logging. The watch has a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, a lightweight round build, and a Light Green finish. You get Bluetooth calling and dual-band built-in GPS, plus more than 130 sport modes and AI-assisted fitness and running guidance for structured training.
On the wellness side, it tracks heart rate, SpO2, stress, sleep, naps, and adds an Energy Score for an at-a-glance view of your daily readiness. Battery life is rated at up to 13 days with typical use, or about 10 days with heavier use, and it works with both Android and iOS via the Nothing X app. If you want a cheap daily wearable that still covers calls and GPS, this is one of the most aggressive budget smartwatch deals around.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: premium Wear OS at a midrange price
The Galaxy Watch 8 discount is where midrange value meets premium features. The 40mm model drops to USD 229.99 (approx. RM1,080) from a USD 349.99 (approx. RM1,640) RRP, a 34% cut that beats its previous lowest price of USD 259.99 (approx. RM1,215) this year. That makes it the cheapest this watch has been all year and an easy highlight among Prime Day smartwatch sales.
You get a compact Wear OS smartwatch with a thinner aluminum, cushion-style case and a 1.34-inch sapphire crystal display. Inside are 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi‑Fi, Dual GPS, NFC, plus a mic and speaker for calls and contactless payments. Health and fitness coverage is extensive: heart rate, ECG, SpO2, skin temperature, sleep apnea insights, vascular load, body composition analysis, GPS workout tracking, Running Coach, real-time feedback, and structured plans. Galaxy AI adds Energy Score, sleep coaching, and bedtime guidance. With 5ATM, IP68, and MIL-STD-810H ratings, about 30g weight, and a 325mAh battery for all-day use, this looks and feels like a true flagship discounted into reach.
Which watch fits your budget and lifestyle?
Both watches offer significant savings compared to their regular retail prices: a 38% discount for the CMF Watch 3 Pro and a 34% cut for the Galaxy Watch 8 40mm. In practical terms, the CMF Watch 3 Pro is the value pick for buyers who care more about battery life, basic smart features, and wide fitness tracking than deep integration or advanced sensors. It gives you calls, dual-band GPS, and multi-day stamina for far less than most competitors.
The Galaxy Watch 8 suits those who want a more complete smartwatch: Wear OS apps, higher-end health tools like ECG and body composition, and a premium build with strong water and durability ratings. It costs significantly more than the CMF, but still undercuts many flagships thanks to the current Galaxy Watch 8 discount. Either way, this pair shows how the budget smartwatch segment can deliver strong value alternatives to premium models when you buy at the right time.
