Amazon's October Prime Day ends tonight (Oct 9), but there's still plenty of time to pick up a new smartwatch at an impressive discount. Right now you can get the Galaxy Watch 6 for $169 at Amazon — almost half the original price with $160 off. 

It's not the latest model (that'll be the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7), but it still has a lot of the brand's health and tracking features, and until recently, it easily held it's place among the best smartwatches

The Galaxy Watch 6 boasts an IP68 rating for water resistance and can last up to 40 hours between charges, easily surpassing the Apple Watch's 18-hour battery life. 

The e-retailer is sold out of every size except the 44mm band, so this is one deal you'll want to jump on before it's gone. Plus, it's pretty much visually identical to the newer Galaxy Watch 7, with customizable watch faces and swappable bands.

The Galaxy Watch 6 looks a lot like the Galaxy Watch 7, but it currently a lot cheaper. You don't get some of the new AI-backed health and wellbeing insights or sleep apea detection, but the Watch 6 has almost everything else, including a bright display, good battery life, and a comprehensive array of sensors to track your activity and sleep. 

In our review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, we called the wearable the "most polished Samsung smartwatch yet” and highlighted its “thoughtful design and wellness upgrades.” 

It's not new anymore, but it's hard to ignore this incredible almost half price discount. But, if you're keen to jump straight to the latest watch, the Galaxy Watch 7 is down to $260 right now for Prime Day. 

And while it might look similar to the Galaxy Watch 6, there's a new BioActive sensor for improved measurement accuracy, and the watch gained authorization from the FDA for the new sleep apnea detection feature.

The Galaxy Watch 7 adds AI-powered insights to Samsung's popular smartwatch. There's a new Energy Score (like the Oura Ring's Readiness Score), and improved workout tracking, with performance comparisons to help you reach your exercise goals. And the FDA-authorized sleep apea detection can help flag up potential sleep disturbances to bring up with your doctor. 

Of course, both watches play best with Samsung's phones, but they do work on any Android smartphone. But if you're after more choice, there are still plenty of Prime Day smartwatch deals around. 

And if you're an iPhone user, the top option is the Apple Watch. We weren't expecting too many discounts during this sale event, but incredibly, the Prime Day Apple Watch deals even included money off the Apple Watch 10 — which only launched two weeks ago!
