The new Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is already marked down at Best Buy! For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase both the 40mm and 44mm version of the Watch 7 in Silver, Dark Gray, or Green for $300. At full price, this model sells for $330.

While smartwatch deals are relatively common, a brand-new product rarely gets the discount treatment so quickly.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7

The Galaxy Watch 7 is one of Samsung’s latest wearable releases, and it’s absolutely packed with features and customizations. It’s also one of the nicest-looking watch faces we’ve seen from Samsung. A 1.3-inch or 1.5-inch (for the 44mm band) AMOLED screen delivers up to 3,000 nits at peak brightness, making it easy to see the display in just about any environment. It also has 5ATM water resistance and an IP68 rating.

Powered by the 3nm Exynos W1000 processor and Samsung’s One UI Watch, the Watch 7 delivers zippy performance across the board. Expect fast UI navigation and little to no loading times for apps and related services. This bodes well for those of us who plan on using the many health and fitness-tracking features built into the Watch 7. Samsung also upgraded the BioActive sensor and made several tweaks to enhance the onboard health tech.

While we do wish the Watch 7 could hold a couple days’ worth of battery life, we’re satisfied with the nearly full-day performance of this model. Other noteworthy features include:

Advanced sleep tracking tools
Four years of Samsung updates
The ability to use the Watch 7 as a camera shutter for a Samsung Galaxy phone

We’ve had the opportunity to review both the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra and loved both wearables. It’s hard to say how long this Best Buy discount will last for the Watch 7, though, so now could be the best time to save. Take $30 off the price of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 when you order through Best Buy.

‘Bonus’ Best Buy deals save you up to $96 on essential Microsoft Surface accessories

The Surface Pro 8 with the new Surface Slim Pen 2.

If you're interested in the best 2-in-1 laptops, you'll certainly have heard of Microsoft's Surface line. They're pretty powerful, but they do come with a catch — unless you get a great bundle you're going to have to supply the stylus pen and keyboard separately. Eventually, getting these accessories will feel like an "essential" upgrade to your device. And that's where Best Buy comes in.

Every day Best Buy has a "Deal of the Day," which is exactly what it says on the tin, but they also have bonus deals of the day if you look harder. And both the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 and the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard are included in these bonus deals today. You can save $26 on the pen (taking it from $130 to $104) or $70 on the keyboard (taking it from $350 to $280) if you take advantage of these deals before 1:00 a.m. ET. That's a combined savings of $96. Tap the button below (and scroll down) to see today's bonus deals or keep reading to see how these accessories are a big bonus for your tablet.

Buy a budget Samsung Galaxy A26 or A36 phone, get bonus discounts

The Samsung Galaxy A36's color options.

We're in the midst of a big boom for budget phones. The Google Pixel 9a, which seems to be facing some delays, is nonetheless coming out soon. Not long ago, the iPhone 16e arrived. If you want one of the best budget phones, now is a great time to buy. But what if you want more than just a phone? What if you want a full tech package? That's what we're seeing when you order a budget Samsung A-series phone — either the Samsung Galaxy A26 or Samsung Galaxy A36. You can get the phone ($300 and $400, respectively), get trade-in credits that can cover as much as half of the phone's cost, and save up to 60% on a pair of Samsung earbuds or a Samsung smartwatch. Tap the button below to check it all out yourself or keep reading for a more detailed analysis.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ is extra affordable today (if you know where to look)

Someone holding the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus.

If you're looking for a top-tier tablet, complete with a stylus pen, then you know you might have to pay big. But that's not really the case if you're getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ and S-Pen with this deal. Usually the 256GB Wi-Fi-enabled machine would cost $1,000, but you can get yours today for just $700. That's a savings of $300 if you act now. Tap the button below to get one of the best tablets at a much more affordable price than usual, or keep reading to see why this tablet might be worthy of your tech repertoire.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ has a large 12.4 inch screen, a QHD (2800 x 1752 pixel) resolution for crispy handheld viewing, and 12GB of RAM that make it more powerful at multitasking than many of the best budget laptops. This version comes with 256GB of on board memory too, which Best Buy classifies as "Medium," but if you browse around enough you'll see enough 64GB and 128GB devices to know that it's closer to "Medium-High" for a tablet (if Best Buy had such a category).
