Wear OS is the best smartwatch platform for those with Android devices and for obvious reasons. If you’re looking for the best smartwatch on Wear OS, you might hear a lot of debate, but I think most of us will agree that it is Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. The biggest downside of that smartwatch, though, is its hefty price tag.
Thankfully, if you’re patient, you can encounter offers and discounts here and there, affording you the chance to get the device for cheaper. Today, Samsung is presenting us with a trade-in deal that will give you the chance to get the smartwatch for up to $400 less just by trading in an older smartwatch.
Samsung Will Shave Up to $400 Off the Galaxy Watch Ultra Price Tag with a Smartwatch Trade-in
If the Galaxy Watch Ultra has been very attractive to you, but its $650 price tag has been keeping you away from pulling the trigger on it, you’re certainly not alone. That’s a lot of money to spend on a smartwatch, and for most, it is a lot more than can be justified. Its price won’t always be that high, so you can be patient and wait for discounts. However, the longer the wait, the sooner its successor will be around to entice you instead.
Why not try and get it right now? Samsung will give you the opportunity to get the best Wear OS smartwatch in the market at up to a $400 discount. All you need to do is trade in an eligible smartwatch. The best part is that Samsung will offer a minimum of $100 in credits for any smartwatch that isn’t on its list, which is hardly a negligible amount.
