Argos shoppers dash to get latest Galaxy Watch for a price Amazon can’t match
Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch 7 is an accomplished smartwatch with enough fitness tools and clever features to satisfy any Android phone owner, but with an RRP of £289, it could be a little out of reach for some.
That’s not the case this week, as Argos is not only running a discount on the newest Galaxy Watch model by selling it at £214, but also offering a further 10 percent off, seeing the once £289 smartwatch dip right down to just £192.60.
All you have to do is add the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 to your trolley on the Argos website. Then when you go to pay, either by signing in to your account or entering your delivery details as a guest, you can advance to the pay screen where there’s an option to enter a promo code.
Type RED10 into that box, and Argos will slash 10 percent off the watch to get the total down to £192.60.
When you visit the listing page, it says the watch is the number two best seller in smartwatches and that the item is “popular”, with other shoppers “looking at this right now”, presumably hovering over the buy button. £214 is already ‘Our Lowest Price’, according to Argos, so the 10 percent off takes it even lower.
A quick look on Amazon sees this watch is £214 in a “limited time deal”, so Argos has the better price. Amazon price tracker site Camelcamelcamel also confirms £214 is the cheapest Amazon has ever sold the Watch 7 for, so Argos’s price is very good indeed.
You can pick up the Galaxy Watch 7 40mm version in cream or green colour. With in-built GPS it works well for tracking runs and swims, and also can track scores of different sport and gym sessions, with a heart rate sensor and temperature sensor providing in depth stats for you to look back on.
It also tracks your sleep, and combines all the data to give you an Energy Score every day that provides an overview of your ongoing health.
The watch also does all the smartwatch things you’d expect, like delivering notifications to your wrist, letting you reply to messages, taking calls, and running apps such as Spotify and Uber.
The Galaxy Watch 7 pairs best with a Samsung phone, but will work with any modern Android phone. If you’re thinking of buying but don’t have a Samsung phone, you might want to consider a different product such as a Google Pixel Watch, or a cheaper Fitbit band, if that better meets your needs for a lower cost. You also might not really need a smartwatch or tracking device at all!
It’s not clear how long this ‘red’ sale is on at Argos but if you are tempted to go for the Watch 7, this price should be jumped at.
