Apple users have Apple Watches, but it’s not so simple for Android users. Depending if you have a Pixel or a Samsung phone, there’s a smartwatch that will work seamlessly better with your phone. If you have a Samsung, there’s no doubt that a Samsung Galaxy Watch is the option. For most people, that watch is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (and yes, it works with any Android phone). Right now, you can get it for $289.99 (originally $379.99), the lowest price it has been according to price tracking tools .

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 came out in 2024 to an “excellent” review from PCMag for its incredibly accurate heart rate measurement, detailed sleep monitoring data tracking, AI health insights, and overall smooth user experience.
You get a Super AMOLED screen of 44 mm or 40mm , the latter running for $259.99 (originally $349.99) right now. This LTE version means you’re not dependent on wifi to use the internet and can receive calls or listen to music without depending on your phone.
The main downside you’ll see with this smartwatch (and most Galaxy watches) is the short 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 overnight or during the day, making the sleep tracking hard to use. 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 its 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. However, if you can’t get over the short battery, consider the ONEPLUS Watch 2 for $245.34.
