The Best Samsung Galaxy Watch for Most People Is 41% Off Right Now

Apple users will naturally gravitate to Apple Watches, but it’s not so simple for Android folks. Depending on whether you have a Pixel or a Samsung phone, there’s a better smartwatch choice for you. If you have a Samsung, a Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best choice, and the best model for most people is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (though it works with any Android phone).

Right now, you can get the 44mm LTE Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 for $196 (originally $329.99). It’s only $1 more than the 40mm Bluetooth version and the lowest price this bundle has reached, according to price tracking tools.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 came out in 2024, receiving an “excellent” review from PCMag for its accurate heart rate measurement, detailed sleep monitoring data tracking, AI health insights, and overall smooth user experience. It offers a Super AMOLED screen of 44 mm or 40mm. This sale covers the LTE version, which means you’re not dependent on wifi to use the internet and can receive calls or listen to music without keeping your phone nearby.

The main downside with this smartwatch (and most Galaxy watches) is the battery life. It lasts about 22 hours, depending on use, according to PCMag’s tests (it can last up to 28 hours if you don’t use the GPS). This means you’ll likely need to charge it during the day to use sleep tracking. However, the watch does charge pretty quickly, reaching max battery in 88 minutes.

If you care about fitness and sleep tracking, it’s hard to beat the Wear OS, especially at the current price. You can have metrics from its Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Oxygen Monitor, Pedometer, Barometer, Temperature Sensor, Gyroscope, and others, and they’re accurate. If you can’t get over the battery life issue, consider the ONEPLUS Watch 2 for $489, which can last up to 100 hours.
