What to look for in phone and smart watch deals
Phone and smart watch deals at The Good Guys cover Apple, Samsung, Google, Motorola, Opel, Nothing and Ryze. The right deal comes down to three decisions: ecosystem, budget and features. Apple Watch works only with iPhone. Samsung Galaxy Watch works best with a Samsung Android phone. Garmin and Fitbit pair with both iOS and Android, so they suit buyers who do not want to commit to one phone brand.
On features, 128GB of storage covers most everyday users, 5G is standard across most current flagship and mid-range models, and real-world battery tests are a better guide than mAh figures alone. The widest sales run during EOFY, Black Friday and Boxing Day, and a prior-generation flagship bought on sale often delivers more useful capability than a current-year mid-range model at the same price.
Phones and smart watches on sale by brand
Mobile phones and smart watches serve different but often complementary roles, and finding the right combination starts with how each device fits your daily routine. A phone and smart watch bundle offers genuine value when both devices come from the same ecosystem, because they share data, notifications and features more directly than cross-brand pairings.
The mobile phones buying guide covers the key decisions across operating system, screen size, storage and camera quality. For wearables, the best wearable tech guide compares smartwatches and fitness trackers side by side, helping narrow down the right device for health tracking, daily notifications or sport use.
Pairing | Compatibility | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
iPhone and Apple Watch | Apple Watch works exclusively with iPhone | Buyers who want deep integration with iOS notifications, Apple Health, Apple Pay and Siri. This is the most tightly integrated phone and watch pairing available |
Samsung Galaxy phone and Galaxy Watch | Works best when paired together on Android | Android users who want health monitoring, sleep tracking and call handling from the wrist via the Galaxy Wearable app |
Garmin watch with any smartphone | Pairs with both iOS and Android | Users who want dedicated sport and fitness tracking without committing to a specific phone ecosystem |
Fitbit tracker with any smartphone | Works across iOS and Android | Users who want straightforward step, sleep and heart rate tracking at accessible price points |
For households where age-appropriate features and usability matter as much as raw performance, the best phones for kids and best phones for seniors guides cover specific recommendations.
What features should you check when buying a phone or smart watch on sale?
The most relevant features in any phone and watch sale depend on how the devices will be used day to day. A Samsung phone and watch bundle suits Android users wanting health data shared across devices. An iPhone and Apple Watch sale suits those already within the Apple ecosystem who want notifications, payments and fitness data in one place.
Feature | What to check |
|---|---|
Operating system | iOS (Apple) or Android (Samsung, Google, Motorola). Determines app availability, update frequency and ecosystem compatibility |
Storage capacity | 128GB covers most everyday users. 256GB or more suits those who store large numbers of photos, videos or apps locally |
Screen size | 6.1 to 6.3-inch screens suit one-handed use. 6.7-inch and above suit media consumption and split-screen use |
5G connectivity | Standard across most current flagship and mid-range models. Confirm compatibility with Australia's 5G network coverage areas |
What determines performance, battery life and connectivity in a phone or smart watch?
Smartphone performance is driven by the processor and the amount of RAM, which together determine how quickly apps open, how smoothly multitasking runs and how long the phone receives software updates. Apple uses its own A-series chips across iPhone models. Samsung and Google Android flagships use Qualcomm Snapdragon or their own processor designs.
Smartphone battery life is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), but actual daily runtime depends heavily on screen size, usage patterns and software efficiency. A large-screen Android phone with a bigger-capacity battery may deliver similar real-world runtime to a smaller iPhone with a noticeably lower rated capacity, because processor efficiency plays as large a role as battery capacity. Checking reviews for real-world battery tests is more reliable than comparing mAh figures alone.
Smart watch battery life varies considerably by model and feature usage.
Smart watch | Rated battery life |
|---|---|
Apple Watch Series 10 | Up to 18 hours of standard use |
Samsung Galaxy Watch models | Up to 40 hours with always-on display turned off |
Garmin sport watches | Up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, depending on GPS and health sensor usage |
Connectivity factors worth comparing:
5G support: confirms the phone works on Australia's 5G networks; available across most current flagship and upper-mid-range models from Apple, Samsung and Google
Wi-Fi standard: Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E support faster, more reliable wireless speeds in congested environments
Bluetooth version: Bluetooth 5.0 and above provides a more stable connection between phone and watch, earbuds or car audio
NFC: required for tap-to-pay via Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay; standard across current flagship models
Getting the best value from phones and smart watches on sale
Phone and smart watch prices in Australia cover a broad range, from entry-level Android and prepaid smartphones through to current flagship iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models paired with premium watches. A phone and watch bundle sale can reduce the combined cost of buying two devices separately, particularly during sale events.
Motorola covers the more accessible end of the phone market, with reliable Android handsets at entry-level and mid-range price points. The wearables range includes options from Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung and Apple across a wide price span, so there are practical watch and tracker options at most budget levels.
Price tiers for phones and smart watches on sale in Australia:
Device | Tier | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
Phones | Entry-level | Entry-level to mid-range Android models from Motorola and Samsung; reliable for calls, messaging and standard app use |
Phones | Mid-range | Upper-mid-range Android and older iPhone models with stronger cameras, more storage and better build quality |
Phones | Premium | Current flagship iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S-series with the latest processors, pro camera systems and premium displays |
Watches | Entry-level | Fitness trackers from Fitbit and Garmin covering steps, heart rate and sleep tracking |
Watches | Mid-range | Mid-range smartwatches with GPS, SpO2, health monitoring and notification support |
Watches | Premium | Premium Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch and Garmin models with ECG, advanced sport modes and extended battery life |
The smartwatch as a gift guide covers why smartwatches suit a range of recipients and what to look for when buying one as a present, including key features and ecosystem compatibility.
How do you buy a phone or smart watch on sale?
Decide between outright purchase and a phone plan. Outright is typically cheaper for users keeping a phone for three years or more. The mobile phones buying guide covers the trade-offs.
Choose your ecosystem. iPhone pairs naturally with Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy pairs with Galaxy Watch, and Google Pixel pairs with Pixel Watch.
Match storage to usage. 128GB suits light users; 256GB or more suits media-heavy use, photography and gaming.
Check 5G compatibility on Australian networks and confirm dual-SIM or eSIM support if needed.
For smart watches, check phone compatibility, GPS, ECG and health tracking features against your use. See the best wearable tech guide for current picks.
Compare current sales across Apple, Samsung, Google, Motorola, Opel, Nothing and Ryze.
Confirm trade-in options and delivery at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is more to explore across The Good Guys sales range, from TVs and laptops to fridges, dryers and vacuums.
The best time to buy a phone or smart watch on sale in Australia is generally during EOFY, Black Friday or Boxing Day. These events produce the widest range of sales across iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Apple Watch models.
When to consider buying outside peak sale periods:
When a current model is superseded by a newer release, the previous version typically drops in price
Stock movement events at individual store level can produce localised sales outside the main national sale periods
Black Friday phones and smart watches on sale in November bring some of the broadest sales of the year, particularly on prior-generation iPhone and Galaxy models, with sale pricing typically extending through Cyber Monday into early December.
Boxing Day phones and smart watches on sale in late December cover a broad range of models and are often the strongest window for sale pricing on prior-year stock.
EOFY covers phones and smart watches on sale from Apple, Samsung, Google and Garmin across the range.
The back to school period from mid-January through February brings additional sale activity across The Good Guys, with deals covering laptops, tablets, headphones and home essentials alongside the wider phone and smart watch range.
Compatibility is the first thing to confirm when comparing smart watches on sale. Apple Watch requires an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Watch works best paired with a Samsung Android phone, and Garmin and Fitbit work across both iOS and Android.
Health sensors vary by model rather than by brand range, so confirm ECG, SpO2 and GPS availability on the specific model before buying. Check battery life at standard use, because always-on display and GPS features reduce runtime considerably from the advertised figure. Watch face size and strap compatibility also affect daily comfort, with most brands offering multiple case sizes and interchangeable strap options.
Current flagship phones from Apple and Samsung do not always include a charger, cable or earphones in the box, so factor in accessory costs before comparing sale prices across models.
The Good Guys can assist with trade-in valuations, device setup and data transfer at the point of purchase. Manufacturer warranties generally run for 12 months. Check the warranty information for the selected device. Visit your nearest store to speak with our friendly team.
Ecosystem is the biggest factor for most buyers. iPhone integrates closely with Mac, iPad and Apple Watch through iMessage, AirDrop and shared iCloud, while Samsung Galaxy pairs natively with Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds and SmartThings home devices.
Google Pixel runs the cleanest version of Android with seven years of committed software updates, and works smoothly with Google Home and Fitbit. Camera differences matter at the premium tier: Apple's iPhone Pro and Samsung Galaxy Ultra remain the top picks for low-light and zoom photography, while Pixel produces strong computational results at lower price points.
Phone prices in Australia cover a wide spread depending on processor capability, camera system and software support window.
Entry-level options from Samsung's Galaxy A range, Motorola and budget Pixel models cover everyday use including messaging, navigation and standard photography.
Mid-range models add better cameras, faster chipsets and longer software support, with Samsung's higher Galaxy A tier and Pixel's non-Pro line as common choices.
Premium flagships from Apple's iPhone Pro range, Samsung's Galaxy Ultra and Google's Pixel Pro sit at the top, with the most capable camera systems, fastest processors and longest software update commitments.
For most users, yes. Apple supports its iPhones with around six years of software updates from release, so a 12 to 24-month-old iPhone still receives security patches and full iOS feature updates. Samsung Galaxy S models now come with seven years of committed software support, making last year's Galaxy S a strong value option during sale events.
The biggest year-on-year differences sit in camera processing and battery efficiency rather than core performance. Unless those features are critical, a prior-generation flagship on sale often delivers more useful capability than a current-year mid-range model at the same price.
Prior-year iPhone models during sale events often represent the strongest value in the range. Apple supports iPhones with iOS updates for six or more years, so a one-year-old model at a reduced sale price retains full software functionality for several years after purchase.
Buying a phone outright during a sale event and pairing it with a SIM-only plan is often more cost-effective than a 24-month carrier contract, particularly for users who keep a phone for three years or more. Comparing the outright sale price against the total contract cost (monthly fee multiplied by term) gives a direct comparison. See all iPhones, including iPhone 16 Series, iPhone 17 Series and iPhone 18 Series.
The brand mix shifts as stock moves, but the phone & smart watch range at The Good Guys typically covers Apple, Samsung, Google, Garmin, Fitbit, Motorola, OPPO, Nothing, Ryze and Spacetalk.
