If you’ve been keeping an eye on our lengthy and ever-expanding list of the best Black Friday smartwatch deals out there for the last week or so, you’re probably already familiar with Amazon’s seemingly unbeatable Galaxy Watch 7 discounts I told you about at the very beginning of the e-commerce giant’s Black Friday Week sale.
But there’s one extremely compelling holiday promotion that somehow managed to fly under my radar all this time, finally catching my bargain-hunting attention today. This allows Amazon shoppers to save a massive 145 bucks on a very interesting combo consisting of a 40mm GPS-only Galaxy Watch 7 in a green colorway and a nice backup fabric band.
These two items would normally set you back a combined $349.98, and it pretty much goes without saying that you’re looking at a completely unprecedented deal here that Amazon (and all other major US retailers) are unlikely to improve in the near (or distant) future.
This is without a doubt the best way to minimize your holiday spending for one of the greatest smartwatches available today sans meeting any special requirements or jumping through hoops of any sort. Of course, if you want to spend even less, you can always head over to Samsung’s official US website and check the company’s latest trade-in conditions.
At the time of this writing, the aforementioned entry-level Galaxy Watch 7 variant with a small 40mm case and no standalone cellular connectivity can be had for as little as $39.99 with the right device trade-in, which is a very big improvement from the previous such deal (which was also labeled as a Black Friday 2024 affair) I looked at last week.
Still nowhere near as affordable as a Galaxy Watch FE or Galaxy Watch 4 and arguably less versatile than the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, Samsung’s “regular” Galaxy Watch 7 comes with a decidedly impressive health monitoring tool kit, undeniably high-quality circular AMOLED display, and solid overall performance. No, the battery life is not great, but the prices are low enough to offset that disadvantage and make this value proposition incredibly hard to beat by the end of the year.
