The Samsung Galaxy watch has been rated highly on Amazon

Shoppers looking to upgrade their smartwatch are snapping up a Samsung model that’s currently nearly £100 off, with many saying it’s so good they’ve ditched their Fitbit for it. The popular wearable has gained attention thanks to its mix of fitness tracking, health insights and smart features that help users keep a closer eye on their daily wellbeing.

Now, the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is available for £139.99, down from £239, on Amazon, offering buyers 41% off their purchase in the spring deal. Buyers say the watch has been ‘extremely useful’ for monitoring everything from sleep to activity levels, making it a handy companion for anyone trying to build healthier habits.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is designed to help users understand their body better and plan their day with the help of Galaxy AI. One standout feature is the Energy Score, which analyses sleep, heart rate and daily activity to give an overall picture of how ready people are for the day ahead.

Sleep tracking is another key feature, offering a daily sleep score, sleep heart rate monitoring and personalised Sleep Coaching. By analysing nightly patterns, the watch provides tailored tips to help users improve their rest and develop better bedtime routines over time.

For fitness enthusiasts, the Galaxy Watch7 includes advanced workout tracking. Users can build custom routines with warm-ups, cooldowns and rest breaks, while also comparing results against previous sessions to stay motivated. It can even track water-based exercise using WaterLock Mode.

Another popular option available is the Sekonda Black Silicone Strap Fitness Tracker Smart Watch for £40 at Argos. With similar features to the other, this one is also water and dust resistant and comes with a magnetic charging cable.

Or there is the Garmin vivoactive 5 Smart Watch for £209 on the Currys website. It can track steps, distance, calories and sleep, and it has a battery life of up to 11 days, the site says.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch7 has been bought more than 300 times in the past month and has also been rated a high 4.4 out of five stars from Amazon. One person said: “I love it. I had a Samsung watch five or six years ago and went back to a Fitbit, but this watch is amazing.

“Looks good. Does everything. Needs charging every day, but it’s a high-performance watch. It’s no different to charging my phone every day. I will be getting my husband one when it’s on sale again.”

Another added: “The watch is extremely useful for vital signs (and) monitoring.” A third wrote: “Ease of set up – connectivity – fitness tracker – watch quality – and durability (is) outstanding. I would definitely buy another, well worth the money.”

Some people removed a star, like this person who said: “Great watch and looks good, only negative is battery life.” Another commented: “Enjoying it so far, have to charge every day but no worries.”
