The Samsung Galaxy Gear from last year showed a lot of promise, but failed to impress the customers due to a variety of plaguing issues such as limited compatibility and steep pricing. The folks at Best Buy are now trying to solve one of these issues by offering a refurbished model of the smartwatch for just $99.99.

Refurbished isn’t brand new but a partly used or unused one which is usually returned by customers after being unsatisfied with the device. It’s completely functional of course, so nothing’s different in that regard.

The catch however is that this deal is applicable only today i.e. the 26th of March as part of Best Buy’s deal of the day promotion. So you won’t get the smartwatch for the same price tomorrow. Earlier last month, Best Buy was offering the brand new Galaxy Gear for just $150, so there seems to be a clearance sale going on.

This is an excellent discount for a smartwatch which was retailing at $299.99 during launch back in September 2013. So if you’ve been unconvinced by Samsung’s first Android based smartwatch due to the pricing, this deal should make it more attractive.

The Galaxy Gear is available in Jet Black, Lime Green, Oatmeal White, Wild Orange, Rose Gold and Mocha Gray colors, so customers have a wide range of colors to choose from.
