Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch7 introduces Galaxy AI right on your wrist and marks a major advancement for the smartwatch series. Equipped with one of the most powerful watch processors, these devices introduce a host of features. Such as enhanced health insights with Galaxy AI, optimized battery life for long-lasting power, upgraded BioActive sensors, and so much more. But surprisingly, we’re not here to talk about the new Galaxy Watch7, we’re actually here to talk about one of the best places to buy one: Best Buy.

On top of offering a $30 discount on all models currently, at Best Buy, you can trade in old devices to earn a little credit,  grab extended warranty and coverage options to protect your new device, or spring for great accessories — like a fabric band or Galaxy Buds3 wireless earbuds. If you’re a My Best Buy Plus or Total member you get even more perks. For example, your return window is extended to 60 days on most products, giving you more time to decide if the item is right for you. You also get free two-day shipping. My Best Buy Total members even get 24/7 tech support, so if you need help setting up your new smartwatch, someone is always there for you.

“Faster, smoother, brighter, and more intelligent than before, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is a brilliant smartwatch.”

Either way, you can shop the available deals or keep reading for a closer look at the Galaxy Watch 7.

Our thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy Watch7

Our mobile team loved their time with the new Samsung Galaxy Watch7, proclaiming it “doesn’t deserve to be dismissed or mistakenly viewed solely as a “small” update over the last models.” Part of that commentary comes from the fact that Samsung toned down marketing for its latest release, at least compared to previous generations. But there’s really no particular reason why they should have done that. It’s a fantastic device.

Andy Boxall gave it four stars in his Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 review, and in his closing statement, here’s what he said: “Faster, smoother, brighter, and more intelligent than before, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is a brilliant smartwatch. Yes, it looks the same as the Galaxy Watch 6, but if that bothers you, then you’re missing the fact that it’s an excellent design already and doesn’t need to change. Great design comes from continuity, and Samsung has rightly only updated the bands and colors here. What’s more important is that the technology inside has been refined and improved, making it a better product to own and use.”

Software improvements have also been made across the board, and Boxall says the experience is “the fastest and smoothest I’ve used on any Galaxy Watch.” The fluidity and responsiveness highlight the increased power of the new 3nm Exynos W1000 processor. Nothing is left to chance, here.

Personally, I’m more excited about the discounts Best Buy is offering right now.

What about the Best Buy discount?

Right now, Best Buy is offering $30 off all models of the Samsung Galaxy Watch7. That brings the price of the 40mm LTE version from $350 down to $320, for instance. If you only want the Bluetooth model, not the LTE version, that’s $270, down from $300. The larger 44mm models are also discounted, at $350 for the 44mm LTE and $300 for the 44mm BT. You can choose your color when you choose a model, too.

Don’t forget to trade in any old smartwatches you have. As long as you have an eligible trade you’ll get more money off your purchase. You might also opt for an extended coverage plan — two years is only $80 or just over $3 per month.

Regardless of whether you get any extras or not, these deals are certainly worth shopping.
