Get $50 off these Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Buds bundles
TL;DR: Best Buy’s Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Buds bundles are $50 off, taking the 44mm bundle to $379.98 and the 40mm bundle to $359.98.
The average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day. New Yorkers who walk to the subway on the daily might beat that, and people who religiously watch their step count probably hit 10,000.
Yesterday, the Health app on my phone told me I had 990 steps for the day. At 6 p.m. I knew it’d be bad because I’m stuck at home, but it just made it obvious how not active I’ve been for the past month of quarantine.
I’ve heard that the iPhone step counter is pretty accurate, but it certainly doesn’t give me any motivation to take a walk. However, anyone I know who has a fitness tracker or a smartwatch is dedicated to getting moving and beating that step goal — the energy a lot of us need during this super sedentary time. Non-iPhone folks, Best Buy is offering $50 off its Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Buds bundle. The 44m bundle comes in Aqua Black with a sale price of $379.98 and the 40mm bundle comes in silver.
The Galaxy Buds are generally regarded as the AirPods for Team Android. But how do they actually stack up? These troupers can last a whole hour longer than the AirPods on one charge, not to mention the fact that they can charge wirelessly from any of the Galaxy S10 phones. There’s no immediate pairing like there is with Apple’s W1 chip, as the Galaxy Buds require two apps to connect. The second app does have a “Find my Buds” feature, so you’re not screwed like you are if you lose an AirPod.
The Galaxy Watch Active2 is such an improvement over the first gen that the writer behind Mashable’s official hands-on review dubs it “Samsung’s best smartwatch to date.” The digital rotating bezel is too cool for its own good, the display is sharp, and the sensors are doubly sensitive to improve sleek tracking, workout detecting, and heart monitoring.
Get the 44mm Aqua Black bundle for $379.98 (regularly $429.98) or the 40mm Silver bundle for $359.98 (regularly $409.98).
