If the Apple Watch is the de facto choice for iPhone users, I would say that the Samsung Gear Watch range is the first choice of Galaxy owners. It's also an expensive choice, which is why I'm excited about this deal.

For a limited time and within the limits of available stocks, Amazon has the Samsung Gear S3 Smart Watch (Frontier) for $ 179.99 when you cut the coupon on the page, which reduces the usual price by $ 49.01. The Gear S3 was originally selling for $ 350, which places it at $ 10 under the lowest price to date.

Let me note right away that the Gear S3 works with many other phones running Android, and even with iPhones, even if its features are limited. (You may receive text message notifications, for example, but you can not respond to them.)

The Gear S3 debuted a little over two years ago, raising the question: has a Gear S4 not already been replaced? Sort of: Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch Last summer, the Gear brand was defeated in favor of this new nomenclature.

But is the S3 too obsolete? Barely. Just like the 3 year old generation is now the best Apple Watch offer, here is a perfect Samsung watch for almost 50% of its original price.

I do not know him very well, so I'm going to direct you to Scott Stein Gear S3 Reviews for all important details. What you need to know: for better or for worse, it uses Samsung's Tizen operating system, and not Android Wear. This is an extremely attractive watch, compatible with Samsung Pay, LTE and Spotify broadcasts. And it has an average rating of 4.2 stars from over 3,000 Amazon customers.

At this price, I think it's a robbery.

Own the first 10 Star Trek movies for $ 30

I do not know how long this agreement will remain in effect (I noticed it for the first time on the weekend), but for a limited time, Vudu offers the Star Trek 1-10 Collection for $ 29.99. You have everything from Star Trek: the movie to Star Trek: Nemesis. Most of these movies sell for $ 10 each, which is worth $ 120.

Because I shared this agreement with you, I now have the right to classify the movies. Obviously, Wrath of Khan comes first, and I'm going to put Search for Spock side by side (much better than most people attribute to it) and The Travel Home, because the full three-film bow works very well .

First contact is also excellent, and I have a particular fondness for The Undiscovered Country. Star Trek: The movie, Generations and Insurrection are OK. But The Final Frontier and Nemesis: total misses.

Discuss.
