Grab a Galaxy Watch 7 for only $49 and get a free wrist strap

If you're not a fan of the Galaxy Watch Ultra for aesthetic or pricing reasons, then the Galaxy Watch 7 is the next best thing. It does almost everything the Ultra does, and it is much more affordable, especially if you pre-order it and take advantage of Samsung's fantastic trade-in offers — in some markets, at least.

The Galaxy Watch 7 starts at $299, but Samsung offers trade-in values for older smartwatches of up to $250, which means you could upgrade to the 2024 smartwatch by exchanging your old device and paying $49 — or slightly more, depending on what you exchange and which Watch 7 variant you want.

Here are Samsung's fantastic trade-in values for old smartwatches in the US, available when you pre-order the Galaxy Watch 7:

• Save $100 when you trade-in the Galaxy Watch, Watch Active / Active 2, Gear Fit 2, or Gear S3.
• Save $150 when you trade-in the Galaxy Watch 3.
• Save $175 when you trade-in the Galaxy Watch 4.
• Save $200 when you trade-in the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, Watch 5, or Watch 6.
• Save $225 when you trade-in the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
• Save $250 when you trade the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

Samsung also offers enhanced trade-in values if you want to exchange a non-Galaxy wearable device. The company can cut up to $250 off the Galaxy Watch 7 when you exchange an Apple Watch, up to $200 when you trade-in Garmin wearables, and up to $100 for Fossil, Fitbit, and other brands.

Now, if you plan on pre-ordering the Galaxy Watch 7, Samsung has another surprise in store for you. Regardless of whether you use the trade-in program or not, you'll get a 2nd wrist band for your Galaxy Watch 7 when you pre-order the device.

The blue fabric band is available for $49 when bought separately, but if you pre-order the Galaxy Watch 7 now, you can have it for free. Hit the button below for more details.
