The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is on sale for just $160 as part of the Amazon Prime Day celebration. This is a discount of 46 percent and represents a record-low price for the smartwatch.
This is the company’s latest watch and was released back in February, so it’s nice to see a massive discount this early in the release cycle. We appreciated the Galaxy Watch 7 in our official review, calling it a “capable companion for Samsung phones.” It features an old-school design that recalls classic timepieces and not modern smart devices.

The performance is zippy, thanks to an upgraded processor, and the storage has doubled when compared to its predecessor. There are also many more sensors when measured against the Galaxy Watch 6. For instance, there are now 13 heart rate sensor LEDs. This leads to the ability to assess more complex health metrics, like sleep apnea detection. All of this is data viewable via the fun and intuitive Samsung Health app.
We also appreciated that this watch will automatically track workouts when you start, without asking if you’re exercising like with the Apple Watch. There are even some AI-assisted tools here that offer light coaching as you workout or engage in physical activities.
There are a couple of little quirks here. First of all, this watch is primarily for those already tied into Samsung’s ecosystem. If you use an iPhone, this might not be the best match. Also, the always-on display is a notorious battery hog. Still, this is a lot of smartwatch for the money.
