Why You Can Trust CNET Best Galaxy Watch Deals: Free With Trade-In or Get $60 Off a Galaxy Watch 6, Up to $197 Off Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
Want a smartwatch upgrade? We've gathered the best deals on Samsung Galaxy 6 and Galaxy 5 models.
Smartwatches are great for activity tracking and staying connected during outdoor adventures. Having one in the same ecosystem as your phone makes for a seamless process. If you're a Samsung user, a Samsung Galaxy Watch is a great investment. The latest generation includes the Galaxy 6 and 6 Classic, and while they're shiny and new, they're also pretty expensive. That's why finding deals when you can helps make snagging one a little more affordable.
If you're looking for significant savings, opting for one of Samsung's older fifth-gen models is a great idea. They still hold up well and have a new skin-temperature sensor and improved battery life compared to the fourth generation. Because of that, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are excellent choices for budget-conscious buyers.
You can get quite a few good deals on Galaxy Watches, especially if you have an older smartwatch you can trade in or if you're willing to sign up for a new line at a major carrier. We've rounded up the best deals out there, and we'll keep this article updated to make sure the latest offers are at your fingertips.
