Samsung is in the midst of an exciting period, having launched a fresh range of folding phones this summer and introducing the all-new Watch8 to its smartwatch collection. However, the arrival of the new watch has triggered a price drop for last year’s model, with the Galaxy Watch7 still performing admirably in 2025.
While you can bag the Watch7 for as low as £239 if purchased directly from Samsung, there’s an opportunity to acquire the watch for mere pennies per day if bought via Sky. A quick visit to their website reveals the 40mm version of the Galaxy Watch7 available for just £9 per month.
This deal spans a 36-month contract, which does mean that customers will end up paying a £95 premium compared to buying the watch outright. However, the contract comes with a 0% interest rate and guarantees no unexpected price increases mid-contract.

Samsung markets this smartwatch more as a fitness and wellness ally than a conventional smartwatch. Of course, it still displays the time and phone notifications, but it also offers comprehensive activity and biometric tracking capabilities.
Runners and cyclists will value the enhanced dual GPS system for more precise tracking during outdoor activities – perfect for uploading to apps like Strava or Komoot. The included heart rate sensor, ECG, and blood pressure monitor all contribute to daily health monitoring, helping users maintain their fitness and wellbeing, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Samsung has introduced an innovative algorithm that calculates an ‘energy score’ for users by analysing heart rate and sleep data. This feature aims to guide you on how energetic you might feel on any given day, aiding your decision on whether to hit the pavement for a run or take it easy.

For those who prefer a more straightforward smartwatch without the extensive health tracking bells and whistles, the Nothing Watch Pro 3 could be just the ticket. It’s currently up for grabs on Amazon at a wallet-friendly £99.
On the other hand, the Amazfit Active 2 is also making waves among consumers, offering many similar fitness features but at a more affordable price. You can snag this gadget on Amazon for £109.90, down from its regular price of £129.90.
The Galaxy Watch7 is garnering positive attention with reviews trickling in on Amazon, where it boasts a 4.3-star rating. One satisfied customer titled their feedback ‘best smart watch on the market at the moment’, adding: “Value for money it’s a no brainer especially if you find it on a discounted price.”
Another user praises the device, saying: “Great piece of kit. I’ve previously owned many watches, including apple watches. Have to say this is the best of the lot…works great as a health tracker too. Love the health app too.”
A third reviewer comments on the comfort and size suitability, noting: “The strap is really comfortable and is big enough for a large wristed chap like myself.”
Nevertheless, certain purchasers claim the timepiece falls short due to disappointing battery performance.
“So far it’s been a good watch. Light, stylish and with all the features you can expect from a modern smartwatch. But as I mentioned on the title, the battery life lasting 2 days is just rubbish, so fed up with the charging hassle,” states one customer review.
Another user echoes this sentiment, commenting: “It is not so much the battery drain which is the issue for me as I can squeeze 2 days use out of it (with a lot of the features switched off). The major issue I have is the time it takes to re-charge. My watch was at 37% this morning, when I put it on the charger it told me that it was going to take over 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully charge. No use for me.”
