Samsung is having a busy period, launching a new range of folding phones this summer, as well as introducing the Watch8 to its smartwatch line-up. However, the release of the new watch has led to a price drop for last year’s model, the Galaxy Watch7, which remains highly competitive in 2025.
The Watch7 can be purchased directly from Argos starting at £239, but there’s an opportunity to acquire the watch for pennies per day if bought through Sky. The website offers the 40mm version of the Galaxy Watch7 for a monthly fee of £9.
This deal is based on a 36-month contract, meaning customers will pay a £95 premium compared to buying the watch outright. However, the contract carries a 0% interest rate with no hidden mid-contract price increases.
Samsung markets this smartwatch more as a fitness and wellness companion than a traditional smartwatch. While it still displays time and phone notifications, it also provides comprehensive activity and biometric tracking.
Runners and cyclists will value the improved dual GPS system for more precise tracking during outdoor activities – perfect for uploading to Strava or Komoot. The included heart rate sensor, ECG, and blood pressure monitor all contribute to daily health and fitness monitoring, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Sky is selling the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 for £9 a month which comes to 30p a day – perfect for those looking to track their own fitness goals.
Samsung has also developed an algorithm that utilises data to provide users with an ‘energy score’. By analysing heart rate and sleep data, it can give owners a rough idea of how energised they might feel on any given day, aiding them in deciding whether to go for that run or not.
If you’re not so bothered about all the additional health tracking features and just want a basic smartwatch, the Nothing Watch Pro 3 might be up your street. It’s available at Amazon for £99.
Alternatively, some shoppers swear by the Amazfit Active 2, which has plenty of the same fitness tracking features for a smaller price tag. It’s on sale at Amazon for £109.90 instead of the usual £129.90.

Reviews for the Galaxy Watch7 are beginning to flood in on Amazon, with the device earning a 4.3-star rating so far. One customer titled their review ‘best smart watch on the market at the moment’, as they said: “Value for money, it’s a no-brainer, especially if you find it at a discounted price.”
Another customer wrote: “Great piece of kit. I’ve previously owned many watches, including Apple watches. I have to say this is the best of the lot. It works great as a health tracker, too. I love the health app, too.”
Meanwhile, a third user added: “The strap is really comfortable and big enough for a large-wristed chap like myself.”
However, some purchasers say the timepiece is hampered by disappointing battery performance. They said: “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, the battery life lasting 2 days is just rubbish, so fed up with the charging hassle,” reads one review.
Another agrees, stating: “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 recharge.
“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.”
