Samsung is dishing out free smartwatches worth £289 – here’s how to claim

Samsung’s free watch offer is only available for a few weeks

Consumers on the market for a new phone can get a free Galaxy Watch7 when they purchase a Galaxy A56 device. The phone is built with a handful of features designed to make life easier and save customers time, all while coming with a budget price compared to other handsets.

The Galaxy A56 costs £499 and has 256GB of storage space. Its top features include a ‘Circle to Search with Google’ function, which allows users to circle, highlight, or tap an object or text onscreen to get Google Search results.

There’s also an ‘Auto Trim’ feature, where owners can create their own filter or add a retro film effect to photos and videos. It also has a long battery life with the ability to go for up to 29 hours without a recharge.

Meanwhile, the ‘object eraser’ feature improves pictures by removing unwanted distractions in the background. The Galaxy A56 is available in four colours, including light grey, dark grey, pink or green.

When shoppers buy the Galaxy A56, they will be offered the chance to get a Galaxy Watch7 free of charge. Worth £289, it is powered by Galaxy AI and tracks a wearer’s heart rate, workouts, and sleep.

Samsung’s free smartwatch offer ends on Tuesday, June 24. It’s also available to buy outright on Currys, where there are a number of customer reviews. A buyer described it as ‘comfortable and (a) light fit’ but noted a drawback with the charger: “I’m disappointed that the charger isn’t USB but USB-C, so I had to buy an adapter, but this wouldn’t put me off buying again.”

For customers on a budget, alternatives are on sale for less than £100, including the Fitbit Inspire 3 Fitness Tracker for £69.99 at Argos. It tracks workouts, running, hiking, cycling, swimming, heart rate, sleep cycles and daily steps.

Elsewhere, Amazon offers a Huawei Watch Fit 4 for £149. It tracks a variety of different workouts, including outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, hiking, skiing and trail running. It also has a 10-day battery life, and a GPS feature for runners.

Back to Curry’s Galaxy Watch7 reviews, another praised the watch’s ‘good battery life’, describing the device as a ‘great product’. A third customer had problems with the battery life and sent it for a repair, explaining: “I had to send it back as battery discharge was ridiculous. I got it back and had a software update. It’s a bit better but not as good as the Watch 5.”

An additional shopper said: “My first ever Samsung watch, such a really good watch as I can’t really say anything bad about it. But I wish it had longer battery life. Such a good product though.”

There are also reviews for the watch on Samsung’s website, with one buyer commenting: “Battery life lasts 3 days. The display is good. I would recommend it to anyone, I love it.” Another said: “I’m very pleased with the watch but the strap could be a bit bigger as it is to small for me.”
