It can be hard to invest a ton of money in a wearable, but the good news is you don’t need to, because there are some great options if you’re on a tight budget. This Samsung Galaxy Watch FE features everything you need, plus it also has an LTE connection to keep you connected while you’re on the go. And while it retailed for $250, it can now be had for much less from Woot, with a steep discount that knocks it down to $135.

Even at its original price, the Galaxy Watch FE was a stand-out Wear OS device. And now that it’s even cheaper, it has become a no-brainer. Not only are you getting a watch that’s feature-packed, but Samsung has also promised four years of OS updates for this device, which means you’ll be getting support for years to come.

The watch comes in just one size at 40mm and features a bright and vibrant AMOLED screen. It also features a wealth of sensors for health and wellness tracking, which is great if you’re looking to get some insights about your daily movements. The watch can even track your stress levels and sleep quality too.

You can even use Samsung Pay at compatible terminals to make purchases without pulling out your wallet. And as mentioned before, the software experience is only going to get better as time passes, since Samsung will be updating this watch for years to come. Overall, for the price, you’re not going to find a better Wear OS device.
