Amazon Shocks with 50% Off the Galaxy Watch 7, While Samsung's Official Site Holds Firm at Full Price
Samsung is Apple's true rival in the smartwatch world, and if you're a Galaxy phone user, there's really no better pairing than a Galaxy Watch. While the premium Watch Ultra series is popular, Samsung also offers affordable models that hit hard on performance and functionality. The Galaxy Watch 7 is a feature-packed device designed for everyday use and it is now available at an all-time low price on Amazon: With a discount of 47%, the 40mm Bluetooth version is currently just $159, a dramatic drop from its usual $299 list price. This is a fantastic chance to pick up the newest Galaxy watch for a fraction of the cost, especially since Samsung's official store isn't running any promotion. See at Amazon Galaxy Watch 7 is a combination of state-of-the-art technology and sleek design with a great approach to fitness and wellness. At its core is Samsung's new Exynos W1000 processor which is a 3-nanometer chip that runs on five cores, subjecting app loading to new standards and offering lightning-fast navigation from menu to menu and notification to notification. You've got 2GB RAM to help make multi-tasking silky-smooth and 32GB of storage within, so you've got ample space for apps and podcasts if you want to go for a run without your phone. It comes with the rugged aluminum case and 5ATM water resistance and IP68 rating, which means it will hold up to pool swimming, dust, and everyday life. The 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display is sharp, colorful and legible from any angle. It also has great health and fitness features powered by Galaxy AI: One of the highlight features is the Energy Score which is a daily reading that combines sleep quality, previous day activity and your vital signs to report back on your physical readiness. You get a morning checkup every day on how ready you are to battle a tough day, marrying ease of use with advanced AI analysis. Whether monitoring heart rate, tracking sleep or receiving personalized wellness guidance, the new BioActive sensor array is poised to deliver. The new generation of the array involves sensors that utilize 13 LEDs and this results in enhanced accuracy when monitoring heart rate and SpO2, especially during high-intensity exercise. You can count on that data to be correct, particularly if jogging, cycling, or HIIT training are your thing. For those into exercising, the Galaxy Watch 7 also boasts an incredible over 100 activities to monitor: That ranges from running and cycling to swimming, yoga, and strength training. The new dual-band GPS system stands out here and gives you more precise and consistent route data in outdoor sports. The onboard sensors give you instant performance analysis and you can even set testable goals by contrasting your existing workout with previous sessions. The health monitoring doesn't stop with fitness: The sleep monitoring features are comprehensive with the watch measuring not only the amount of sleep and quality, but also oxygen saturation and snore detection during sleep. Thanks to Galaxy AI, you're given tailored sleep coaching and, for the first time, FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection. This all-time low price won't last long given the strength of the deal compared to Samsung's official store, so there's every reason to snap up one before stocks run out. See at Amazon

With the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 On the Way, Amazon's Practically Giving Away the Galaxy Watch7
When a red-hot new tech device debuts, like the Galaxy Watch8 that was just introduced last week at Samsung's Unpacked event, you have a choice to make: Do you really need to do the full upgrade to the absolute latest and greatest, or do you opt to score the inevitable deal on the previous model that was the latest and greatest until just a couple of days ago? Smartwatch fans, that time has come, because Amazon is obviously very keen on clearing out their inventory of the Galaxy Watch7 to make way for the Watch8, and they've just slashed the price on the Watch7 by 39% to just $200 for the 44mm Bluetooth model. The Galaxy Watch8 is probably going to be phenomenal, to be sure, but the Galaxy Watch7 was worth its full price before the Unpacked event, and it's the same smartwatch that's now a massive steal at a greatly reduced price. See at Amazon The Galaxy Watch7 is most definitely aimed at active types who enjoy a good workout. It's also the first smartwatch to feature Samsung's powerful Galaxy AI, which takes on the roles of stat compiler, health analyzer, and fitness coach. Galaxy AI tracks your workouts and compares them to previous efforts to show how well you're progressing toward your goal, whether that goal is overall fitness, weight loss, or a personal-best time. As a heart-rate tracker and sleep analyzer, the Galaxy Watch7's AI digs deeper than any previous Samsung smartwatch, giving you detailed analysis and even identifying signs of possible sleep apnea. Galaxy AI also uses your sleep and performance metrics to give you an overall energy level score to help you determine whether it's a good day for a workout or to take a rest day to recover. The Galaxy Watch7 debuted almost exactly one year ago, and reviewers and users alike raved about its overall performance, robust battery life, rugged construction, and flawless integration with the rest of Samsung's Galaxy family of smartphones, tablets, and wearables. Workout mavens, techies, and anyone just looking for a durable, reliable smartwatch were all pointed toward the Galaxy Watch7. What's changed about the Galaxy Watch7 in the year since then? Nothing except the price tag, now 39% lower at Amazon, so you get the same top-rated AI-powered smartwatch for $130 less. There are already great pre-order deals on the Galaxy Watch8, but the smart money says the Galaxy Watch7 is an unbeatable deal at just $200. See at Amazon

The Galaxy Watch 8 Pissed Me Off, but I'd Still Recommend It
CNET's expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. The Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 needs to be kicked to the curb. I'm not expecting an Olympic endorsement deal anytime soon, but after 20 years of running (four half marathons, multiple 10K and 5Ks), I'd hope to graduate beyond "beginner." Not according to Samsung's latest watch. Either it's using a rigid set of criteria to assign training plans, or it's gaslighting me on purpose to tap into my competitive streak. Whatever the case, Running Coach left me questioning its usefulness and cast a gray cloud over my running experience. Something seemed off, so I checked in with Samsung and am still waiting to hear back. Running Coach aside, the $350 Galaxy Watch 8 ($50 more than last year's Galaxy Watch 7) gets a lot of other things right, and I still recommend it to anyone looking for a solid Wear OS smartwatch. One of the biggest surprises: Gemini. This is the first smartwatch to come with Google's AI assistant built in, and the voice assistant actually feels useful on the wrist. It's also one of the most comfortable watches I've ever worn (though not the most stylish). It has nearly every feature I could hope for, including a screen that's blindingly bright and new health sensors for more accurate health tracking. 8.2 / 10 SCORE Galaxy Watch 8 $350 at Samsung Pros Dual sizing options that fit well on smaller wrists Comfortable, lightweight design Gemini assistant is fast and genuinely helpful New health sensors offer more accurate insights Bright display is visible in direct sunlight Cons Price is $50 more than the Galaxy Watch 7 Squared frame isn't for everyone Health features require manual setup Running Coach accuracy is questionable so far Proprietary straps limit options from third parties 40mm model tops out at 30 hours battery life Galaxy Watch 8 8.2/10 CNET Score $350 at Samsung From feature-rich smart rings (Samsung's Galaxy Ring included) to budget smartwatches like the $80 Amazfit Bip 6, the competition for your health data is getting fierce. In a crowded landscape, Samsung positions the Galaxy Watch 8 as a high-end alternative with the goal of long-term success: slowing the hands of time, promoting healthy aging and delivering more meaningful measurements. The result is a mature smartwatch that goes above and beyond the basics, offering new metrics for cardiovascular health, a skin-based antioxidant index, improved bedtime guidance, and yes, a personal running coach that promises to get you "marathon-ready." I swear I'm not bitter. Most of these tools rely on Samsung's advanced BioActive sensor, which is available only on the Series 8 models (and the Ultra), and one of the main reasons why you'd consider upgrading. It's also worth noting that none of these features are medical-grade devices and therefore should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. After wearing the Galaxy Watch 8 for less than a week, some of the new features still feel like works in progress while others show real potential. Paired with a Galaxy phone, the Watch 8 feels like a confident, integrated health and fitness companion with a voice assistant that might actually talk you into keeping it on. The Galaxy Watch 8 is available now for preorder for a base price of $350 for the 40mm model, and $380 for the 44mm version. Add $50 more for LTE on either size. Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 starts with a 12-minute assessment to build your training plan. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 Running Coach As a longtime runner, I was genuinely excited about the new Running Coach — a virtual coach that would give me personalized training plans and real-time feedback to whip me back into racing shape. The setup involved filling out a brief questionnaire on my phone about my running and workout habits. Then it asked me to record my longest run in the last three months, which happened to be a 5K. I'm a no-frills runner; I usually have about 30 minutes to squeeze in a jog, which means getting out the door without searching for a headset or curating the perfect playlist. So the idea of needing headphones just to hear the Running Coach felt like a drag. A quick "turn up the volume to max" command to Gemini saved the day. Fortunately for me, the watch plays the prompts through its speaker, which, while not particularly loud, was loud enough for me to finish the assessment without headphones. The test started with a short warmup, then moved into intervals: a normal pace, an all-out sprint, then back to normal, followed by a cooldown to gauge how quickly my heart rate recovered. In total, it took about 14 minutes. The voice was definitely robotic — not exactly the tough-love human sounding coach I had imagined. Now Playing: Gemini on the Galaxy Watch 8 Made Me a Believer 02:58 I was still recovering from intense travel and a lingering ACL injury, so I wasn't expecting a gold star. But with an average pace of 9:45 per mile, I figured I'd at least score higher than level one. Being labeled a beginner and assigned a plan to "build up to a 5K" felt borderline insulting, especially considering I'd just told it that I'd already completed one. Looking closer at the plan, I saw it had me walking for 30 minutes during the first week, with a goal of running 0.93 miles in less than 10.5 minutes by week four. Both of which I'd already done during the initial assessment. Meanwhile, a colleague who isn't a runner and walked the entire test got the same training plan I did. That raised some serious questions. How "personalized" can this really be if two people with vastly different running backgrounds are given the exact same plan? For now, the experience has left me skeptical — and has definitely taken some shine off a feature I was really hoping to love. It's possible the coach will recalibrate my training plan as it gathers more running data, but it's also just as likely that Running Coach itself needs to step up its game with future updates. The Galaxy Watch 8 has a new BioActive sensor that unlocks advanced health metrics like vascular load and antioxidant levels. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 Antioxidant Index Samsung's new Antioxidant Index, which measures carotenoid levels in the skin, is arguably one of the most interesting features on the Galaxy Watch 8, and one of the most confusing. I didn't know much about antioxidants beyond a vague association with fruits and vegetables. So I had to go down multiple rabbit holes just to understand what exactly it was measuring in the first place. Carotenoids are one type of naturally occurring antioxidant, found in veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes and leafy greens. According to the National Institutes of Health, antioxidants help the body clear out potentially harmful free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules typically caused by stress, poor diet, smoking and pollution). When those free radicals build up over time, they create oxidative stress, which has been linked to long-term health issues like heart disease, cancer and premature aging. So, keeping healthy levels of antioxidants in your body is one of the keys to prevention. The Galaxy Watch 8, Classic and Ultra use new optical sensors to detect these carotenoid levels in your skin. It doesn't take the measurement from your wrist because, according to Samsung, there's too much interference from blood vessels and ambient light. Instead, the watch asks you to remove it and place your thumb on the sensor for a few seconds. After that, you get a score between 0 and 100, which falls into one of three categories: very low, low or adequate. The Antioxidant Index on the new Galaxy Watches. This was my score at the event using a demo unit that wasn't set to my data. Once back at home, I scored a "low" on my own device. Joseph Maldonado/CNET My first score was "low" (67/100). Not terrible, but also not great. Apparently, even a healthy diet can't offset the stress, sleep deprivation and general chaos of my overnight travel and a three-day product launch in a new city. To get more context, the watch connects you to the Health app on your phone. To improve my levels, it suggested I eat "half a pear today." Not a full pear. Not five blueberries. Half a pear. Going further down the rabbit hole will lead you to more background on what the feature does and generic advice about antioxidant-rich diets (leafy greens and sweet potatoes). It also mentions it can take up to two weeks of consistent habit changes to see a significant difference in your overall score, so chugging a green smoothie (or eating half a pear today) will do little to move the needle if I were to test the very next day. Samsung Health gives you some general insight into what your Antioxidant Index means, and how to improve it. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Despite the initial learning curve, I have to step back and acknowledge how impressive this tech is. It's wild that a watch can estimate antioxidant levels using light-based sensors without requiring a lab or a blood test. That's no small feat. What the Galaxy Watch struggles with right now is translating that science into something meaningful. I wish it had at least a weekly reminder built in to use it. Maybe after a few months of consistent use, I'd start to see clearer trends and better correlations. But I think it'll be up to Samsung to make those connections easier to understand and easier to care about. But for now, I probably wouldn't buy this watch for this feature alone. The Galaxy Watch 8 comes in two sizes: 40mm (pictures) and 44mm. It also comes in a silver and graphite aluminum finish. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 design The Galaxy Watch 8 has a brand-new design that, for me, was definitely an acquired taste. At first glance, it looks like the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7 had a baby — and not the cute kind. The new squircle frame feels unnecessary, and without a bezel (rotating like the Watch 8 Classic or static like the Ultra), the transition from the squared-off frame to the circular screen feels abrupt, like it's missing a piece. That sharper transition also means the screen is more exposed, making it more vulnerable to bumps and drops. Then there's the band situation. Samsung has moved away from the universal strap system, swapping it for the proprietary lug system similar to what it introduced on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. That limits your options for watch bands, especially if you were hoping to bring your favorite third-party band along for the ride. But when you dig into the "why" of these design changes, they start to feel less like an arbitrary redesign and more like a calculated decision aimed at comfort and accuracy. The Galaxy Watch 8 is thinner, lighter, and less bulky than previous models. The 40mm version I tested is one of the most comfortable smartwatches I've worn. I usually dread wearing smartwatches to bed, and this one I almost forgot I had on. The squircle frame and lug system allow the strap to sit flush against my skin, reducing gaps and creating a snug, more secure fit. The squared off frame and new lug system (bands) allows the Galaxy Watch 8 to sit closer to the skin, making it more comfortable to wear and improving sensor accuracy. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Samsung says this tighter fit allows its sensors to work more effectively by minimizing interference from motion, sweat and outside light. What's clear is that Samsung is prioritizing precision over aesthetics, even if it means alienating longtime Galaxy Watch owners who value the classic circular design or easy strap-swapping. Personally, I don't wear a smartwatch for looks. While design matters, I'd rather have accurate, reliable health data and a better fit than a slick design that compromises on function. Galaxy Watch 8 and Gemini AI My history with voice assistants on smartwatches has been… rough. I've probably spent more time yelling at my wrist than actually getting anything done (looking at you, Bixby and Siri). But with Gemini, I'm officially a convert. The new Galaxy Watches are the first smartwatches to debut Google's Gemini AI assistant out of the box. Joseph Maldonado/CNET I've been hardwired to cater to voice assistant limitations, so speaking naturally was probably the hardest adjustment for me when using Google's Gemini. No awkward phrasing, long pauses or shouting required. What I got back was useful, bite-size summaries that were read aloud instead of just dumped as a string of links I'd never open on a watch screen. It's also smart enough to handle vague prompts and context. For example, I asked for "that famous bridge shot in Brooklyn that's all over social media," and Gemini immediately pulled up the right landmark. From there, I just said, "show me photos," and it displayed images of the bridge without having to repeat its name. A simple "take me there" command then brought up directions automatically. Gemini does require an internet connection to work (Wi-Fi or LTE), so Bluetooth-only watch users will need to have their phone nearby. It can even draft a text for you in a different language. The Galaxy Watch 8 runs on Wear OS 6 and Samsung's One UI 6 Watch, both of which bring welcome design changes. You'll find new action tiles, a cleaner interface, more watch faces and a refreshed Now Bar at the bottom of the screen for quickly jumping back into timers, workouts or anything else running in the background. Galaxy Watch 8 Bedtime Guidance The Galaxy Watch 8 has a new Bedtime Guidance tool that uses a three-day analysis of your circadian rhythm and sleep pressure (sleep debt you've accumulated) to recommend an ideal bedtime window. It factors in heart rate, HRV, skin temperature, and even environmental cues like room temperature or brightness. The goal: Improve your sleep quality, recovery and energy throughout the day. The Galaxy Watch 8 calculates your ideal bedtime window based on your past sleep patterns, circadian rhythm and accumulated sleep debt. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET As someone who wasn't sold on the Galaxy Watch's original Sleep Coach feature (which felt more like a checklist of generic bedtime advice), I was skeptical about the new bedtime guidance. But this is one I'd actually consider sticking with. It's not that I don't know how many hours of sleep I should be getting, but hearing a science-backed reason for why I should go to bed at a specific time makes me more inclined to listen. In my case, the watch recommended 11 p.m. As I write this, it's currently 10:57 p.m., so I guess I'd better wrap up this review. It'll be interesting to see how my energy levels shift if I actually follow the guidance for a week. I could also see this being helpful for shift workers or anyone traveling across time zones who doesn't know how best to reset their sleep schedule. I'll report back in a longer-term review. The Galaxy Watch 8 has a slightly larger battery than last year's models, but I didn't notice a bump in usage time during my four days of testing. Joe Maldonado/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 battery and storage Let's set expectations: Just because the Galaxy Watch 8 looks like the Ultra doesn't mean it matches the Ultra's three-day battery life, it's not even close. Samsung says the Watch 8 has an 8% larger battery than the Watch 7: 325mAh vs. 300mAh on the 40mm model, and 435mAh versus 425mAh on the 44mm. In theory, the larger batteries paired with the efficiency gains coming with Wear OS 6 should mean at least a few extra hours of use compared with last year's models, but the reality is that all these new health and AI features offset any gains. In my six days of testing, I had to charge the Watch 8 four times, averaging about 30 hours on a single charge with all features turned on: always-on display, notifications, at least one GPS workout a day, and full night sleep tracking. That's right on par with what my former colleague Lexy Savvides reported in her Galaxy Watch 7 review from last year. How it would fare now running Gemini, is a question for another day, but worth considering if you happen to see a dip in your Galaxy Watch 7 after the Gemini update. The Watch 8 offered to switch to low power mode when it got to 15%, but I'm an all-or-nothing kind of gal, so I declined. The good news is that it recharged in just about an hour, which makes it less likely for me to forget on the charger as I'm running out the door. It's unclear whether the 44mm model or the Classic will give you noticeably more battery life, but if you want to go a full three days without recharging, the Ultra is still your best bet. The storage and processor also remain the same as last year's Watch 7 and Ultra, with 32GB (the Classic and Titanium Blue Ultra got bumped to 64GB of storage). All three models are powered by a five-core Exynos W1000 (processor) which handles everything smoothly, from general tasks to running Gemini, with zero complaints on speed or responsiveness. They also have the dual-frequency GPS using L1 and L5 bands that Samsung debuted on last year's models. The full Galaxy Watch 8 line-up: Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and the two sizes of the Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm and 40mm). Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Should you buy the Galaxy Watch 8? Calling the Galaxy Watch 8 an "ambitious" smartwatch feels a little cliché, but in this case, it actually fits. Sure, some of the features are still a work in progress, but they point to where Samsung is headed: turning these smartwatches into true health companions that will help bridge the gap between the doctor's office and your day-to-day. But not everyone needs all of these new features (at least not right now), and I wouldn't buy this watch for the health tools alone. Most people will be enticed by its more "boring" upgrades: it's brighter screen, lighter, more comfortable fit and a built-in AI assistant that finally makes wrist-based voice control feel useful instead of frustrating. Plus, the processing power and battery life to make it shine. If you already own a Galaxy Watch 7, you're probably OK skipping this upgrade cycle, unless you're drawn to the new shape or improved sensor accuracy. You'll still be getting many of the same software upgrades on older models, including Gemini and Bedtime Guidance. And if you prefer the freedom of universal watch bands, the Watch 7 may be a better buy for now. Having two Watch 8 size options (40mm and 44mm) is definitely a plus if you have smaller (6") wrists like me. But if you're leaning toward a larger face and miss the rotating bezel, you'll want to consider the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which I'll be reviewing soon too.

Time to see a doctor? Watches to track sleep disorder
Your smartwatch knows when you are sleeping, knows when you're awake and if you have a recent model, it could soon detect signs of a common sleep disorder. Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration has for the first time approved smartwatch software from Apple and Samsung to detect and analyse bedtime breathing disturbances. The analysis could indicate whether their users show symptoms of moderate to severe sleep apnoea, which medical professionals tentatively welcome. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a potentially serious disorder in which a person stops breathing for short periods repeatedly during the night, resulting in disrupted rest. About five per cent of Australians are estimated to suffer from the disorder, according to Neuroscience Research Australia. But the condition is widely under-diagnosed, specialist sleep physician David Cunnington said, and bringing it more attention could prompt sufferers to seek medical help. "There are many more people in the community than have been diagnosed, which is why anything that will increase people's awareness of it and will give them a notification that it may be going on is going to be helpful," he told AAP. Sleep apnoea is typically diagnosed during a one-night sleep study, Dr Cunnington said, but more advanced wearable devices could potentially collect data over longer periods and help medical professionals assess the severity of a condition. "For me, as a sleep physician, I'm absolutely interested in whatever data people are collecting from their wearables and smartwatches," he said. "If I'm trying to look at how people respond to treatment or what other factors might be impacting things, that's where longer-term data from a wearable can be really helpful." The software on Apple Watches is not approved to diagnose the disorder but to "identify patterns of breathing disturbances suggestive of moderate-to-severe sleep apnoea" in adults. Notifications from the app, which will analyse a user's breathing over 30 days, are designed to prompt a conversation with a medical professional. Apple will issue sleep apnoea software updates for three Watch models from Wednesday, while Samsung has already begun updating its Health Monitor app with sleep-monitoring software for compatible devices. Samsung's software will monitor a user's sleep for four consecutive hours over two nights, after which the feature will turn off automatically. The software was not designed as "a medical device", Samsung Electronics Australia wearables head Kylie Mason told AAP, but to alert wearers to potential health issues. "That's the cool thing about smartwatches: they're getting all this data and allowing you to talk to GPs," she said. "They're not there to diagnose things or provide technical medical analysis - that's not our job - our job is to show you trends in things happening with your health." The company's sleep apnoea software is available in Galaxy Watch 7 devices and later models in Australia, and will feature in the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 when it launches in August.
