Samsung's entry-level Galaxy Watch 7 has returned to its best price to date
I jumped on the smartwatch bandwagon a bit late, but now I can't go a day without mine. Beyond delivering helpful notifications, it's perfect for setting timers, tracking workouts, and monitoring my sleeping habits (which are terrible). If you haven't yet joined the smartwatch party or you're looking to upgrade, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 7 is down to $199.99 ($100 off) in the 40mm / Bluetooth configuration at Amazon and Walmart. If you prefer a larger display, the 44mm model is on sale at Amazon starting at $229.99 ($100 off). The Galaxy Watch 7 adds a faster processor and a new 3-in-1 BioActive sensor. It's an iterative update, but it's more comfortable for sleep tracking than the Galaxy Watch Ultra. While the Galaxy Watch 7 isn't as flashy as other Samsung wearables, its more simplistic approach is part of its charm. It retains the signature circular design and slim profile of prior models, which remains a stark contrast to the adventure-ready Galaxy Watch Ultra. It's comfortable to wear while sleeping and working out — as our own Victoria Song noted in her review last year — and it comes with a selection of welcome features, including heart rate tracking, an Energy Score for gauging recovery, and FDA-approved sleep apnea detection. One of the new marquee tools of the Watch 7 is its AI-powered wellness insights, which provide personalized suggestions to help you hit your health and fitness goals. There's also a 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor that can measure metabolic health thanks to an experimental advanced glycation end products (AGEs) metric, though both features were rather hit or miss in our testing. Of course, the wearable also offers a range of basic smartwatch features, such as the ability to stream music, send texts, and take calls when your phone is nearby. Despite its slimmer design, the Watch 7 offers around 24 hours of battery life with the always-on display enabled, though if you upgrade to the 44mm Watch 7, you can eke out a few additional hours. Samsung's wearable also runs Wear OS 5, as of now, though we're expecting the Gemini-powered Wear OS 6 to arrive via an update later this year. All that being said, the timing of these deals could indicate that a Galaxy Watch 8 is on the horizon. Samsung typically holds an Unpacked event in mid-July, and this year it may introduce a refreshed lineup of foldable and wearable devices.

Amazon shoppers call Galaxy Watch 7 deal 'no-brainer' thanks to £75 voucher
Amazon has cut a big chunk off the Galaxy Watch 7 for a limited time Shoppers have been clamouring to try and grab a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 deal on Amazon thanks to a pretty hefty price drop. The Galaxy Watch 7 is one of Samsung's best watches on the market - and perfect for Samsung users who want to track steps, answer calls and track their health. At the moment, Amazon is selling the device for £319, but there's a good voucher attached to it - you can save £75 when you get to checkout, making the price £244, which is a cracking deal for the watch. But it might not be around forever, so make sure you act fast. The Galaxy Watch 7 comes with a new and improved Dual GPS system. Location tracking is super accurate—even in dense environments, like woodlands or city centres. It allows shoppers to lift the lid on the different stages of every evening's sleep, get to know what makes them tick, and learn about how you can improve your overall wellbeing. Shoppers can also get closer to how their body responds to exercise, rest and sleep. It comes with a next-gen BioActiveSensor, subtle changes in heart rate are detected to make sure every activity and sleep cycle is logged accurately. And if you're looking for some alternatives, Currys has the Apple Watch Series 10 for £409. Or if you want a budget option, the Galaxy Fit3 for £43 on Amazon. Shoppers have also been raving over the device. One shopper said: "I am liking it so far. Other than GPS features in exercises, i have tried everything I think. "With AOD on, Bluetooth on, Location on, 7 apps notifications allowed, Gestures on, Adaptive brightness on, Sleep tracking on, Heart sensor measures continuously: Getting about 2.2 days of battery life. "From the battery usage screen, after using the whole battery, it shows AOD used about 50-60% of it. I haven't tried it with AOD off yet, but hopefully, that will put it to 3 days. Value for money, it's a no-brainer, especially if you find it at a discounted price." However, some shoppers complained about the battery life. One shopper added: "It's a decent smart watch in the sense it does everything you could want and more. It's like having my Samsung phone on my wrist, but that's where the problem starts. "Just like my phone I have to charge this every single day. The battery life is so poor. How can a watch for £12 on Tiktok last for over a week yet a watch for over £200 isn't even lasting a day? Come on Samsung".
