You can save up to $480 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra by trading- n an eligible device. If you don’t have a device to trade in, you’ll still save $80 on the watch, making it just $650. And, as a today-only deal, when you buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (with or without a trade-in), you will receive a free Marine watch band with your purchase (an $80 value).
Also: You can get up to 63% off a new Galaxy Ring with this Samsung trade-in program. Here’s how
Samsung accepts trade-ins from top brands like Garmin, Apple, and themselves. Some popular watch models, like the Apple Watch Ultra or Ultra 2, will nab you $400 in trade-in credit. If you have a more basic model, Samsung isn’t backing out. An Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) can grab you as much as $225 in trade-in credit — an insane offer considering the Watch SE has sold for as low as $169 during select sales and was released in 2022. Even extremely outdated models will get you a pretty penny. An Apple Watch Series 1 or 2 can snag up to $150 in credit.
The Watch Ultra runs the Samsung-powered Google Wear OS 5.0 with One UI Watch 6.0, meaning it still looks like a Samsung smartwatch but also supports Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Wallet, Google Play Store, and more Google apps.
Its operating system is optimized for the round watch design with a virtual rotating bezel. The watch offers fall detection, messaging, phone calls, and more. It also supports advanced fitness data such as VO2 Max and running dynamics data.

In addition, Samsung’s Galaxy AI is present in the form of wellness insights that combine into a daily score to help guide you to optimal performance, including healthy sleep levels.
This deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra will last all week during the Discover Samsung Sale, but the free watch band is only available when you purchase the device today, March 5.
This Galaxy Watch Ultra offer is listed as a Deal of the Day for March 5. While savings on this watch may last through the duration of the sale (which ends on March 9), the free Marine band offer will not.
