Galaxy Watch 7: Price, availability and how to pre-order

Samsung not only announced new foldable phones and wireless earbuds at its Samsung Unpacked event on Wednesday, but it also announced a new lineup of wearables: the Galaxy Watch 7 ($299.99), Samsung Ring ($399.99), and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra ($649.99). While you’ll have to wait until July 24 for official availability, all of the wearables are available for pre-order now in the US.

The new wearables target a broad audience, from casual users to outdoor athletes. The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a sleek wearable that’s also a more discreet health tracker, while the Galaxy Watch 7 is a more capable smartwatch with new sleep apnea detection capabilities. However, it’s not as feature-packed as the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, which, as my colleague Victoria Song wrote in her hands-on impression , is essentially an Android version of the Apple Watch Ultra. Samsung says it’s designed for the active outdoor type, and it’s its most rugged watch yet, replacing the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro as Samsung’s premium smartwatch.
