If you’ve been considering jumping on the smartwatch trend, now is the perfect time to do so. I was a bit late to the game myself, but I can honestly say I can’t imagine my day without mine. From receiving helpful notifications to setting timers, tracking workouts, and monitoring sleep—especially since mine are notoriously bad—smartwatches have become an essential part of my daily routine.
Right now, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 is available at an incredible price. You can find the 40mm Bluetooth version for just $199.99, saving you $100, at Amazon and Walmart. Prefer a larger display? The 44mm model is also on sale, starting at $229.99 with the same $100 discount.
While the Galaxy Watch 7 may not be as flashy as other Samsung wearables, its understated and simple design is what makes it so appealing. It features the classic circular face and slim profile that fans love, offering a more minimalist look compared to the rugged Galaxy Watch Ultra. It’s comfortable enough to wear overnight and during workouts, making it a versatile choice for everyday use. As highlighted in a recent review, it comes packed with useful features like heart rate monitoring, an Energy Score to assess recovery, and FDA-approved sleep apnea detection.
One of the standout features of the Galaxy Watch 7 is its AI-powered wellness insights, which offer personalized tips to help you reach your health and fitness goals. It also boasts a 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor capable of measuring metabolic health, including an experimental AGEs metric—though these features can be hit or miss based on testing. Naturally, it also offers all the basic smartwatch functions: streaming music, sending texts, and taking calls when your phone is nearby.
Despite its sleek design, the Galaxy Watch 7 delivers around 24 hours of battery life with the always-on display active. If you opt for the larger 44mm version, you might get a few extra hours. The watch runs on Wear OS 5, with expectations of an upgrade to Wear OS 6 later this year, likely via a software update.
These deals could also hint at an upcoming Galaxy Watch 8, as Samsung typically announces new devices at its mid-July Unpacked event. With the possibility of a refreshed lineup of foldables and wearables, now might be the perfect time to upgrade or try out a smartwatch for yourself.
