Prime Day 2025 is here from Tuesday, July 8 to Friday, July 11, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools.
If you're in the Android world and have been waiting for a solid smartwatch deal, this might be the one to look at. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (44mm, LTE) is now down to $246.99 for Prime Day, slashed from its usual $379.99. And according to price-trackers, this is the lowest it's ever been. But the real headline here is the LTE version—you can leave your phone at home and still take calls, stream music, or respond to texts straight from your wrist. For Android users, especially if you're already part of the Samsung ecosystem, that's a huge perk.
Functionally, this watch is built for people who move. The IP68 rating, 5ATM water resistance, and military-grade durability mean it's not just a “wear it to the office” kind of device. The 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display of the Galaxy Watch 7 is bright and easy to read even in direct sunlight, and under the hood, Samsung's new Exynos W1000 chip makes navigation feel smooth. On the software front, it runs on Wear OS 5 with Samsung's One UI 6 on top, so you get useful extras like widget controls and on-watch photo editing if you're paired with a Samsung phone. The health-tracking features are where this watch really goes all-in with features including FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection, body composition analysis, a new AI-powered Energy Score, and, of course, the usual lineup of heart rate, blood oxygen, ECG, and auto workout tracking, according to this PCMag review.
But there are some fine-print caveats: Many of the more advanced features, like snoring detection and full wellness summaries, require pairing with a Samsung phone. And while the LTE freedom is great, battery life takes a hit. Expect a full day, maybe a bit more, but don't skip your charger at night. That said, for under $250, this is one of the most feature-packed smartwatches in its class, especially if you're already living the Android life and want something stylish that doesn't shy away from rough use.
