1. At first I had to figure out how to get my work email to play with Samsung.com. My company has access to Perks At Work, but I was signed into my own personal acct in Samsung.com. I created a new Samsung.com acct with my work email and it immediately noticed my work and gave me workplace related discounts.
2. I tried doing everything on a desktop browser and was seeing work related discounts but not all of the ones that others were seeing. Chat wasn't helpful and said there weren't any promo codes to be had.
3. I noticed others commenting to use the Shop Samsung app, so I did. I didn't immediately notice additional discounts UNTIL I actually clicked all the way through to "Checkout". Additional discounts show up on the final page. Also, I noticed that some of the links take you to a "pre configured" page which automatically adds the item to the cart, doesnt allow for trade in, and is a higher price. You need to go to the main selection page that lets you add the trade in, decline protection, etc ,to get the full discount in the cart at the end of checkout.
4. I ran a bunch of different permutations and was able to replicate (all with trade in of Watch 4) the $61.91 for Watch 5 44mm LTE, $111.55 for Watch 6 44m BT, $152.99 for Watch 5 Pro 45 mm BT, and $178.49 for Watch 6 Classic 47mm BT, before tax. Screenshots below.
5. Then I had to decide what to upgrade to. After some online research of the different models, I ended up choosing the Watch 5 Pro, because it fixes the major issues I have with my Watch 4 - The 5 Pro has the biggest battery of all the models, titanium shell for weight and ruggedness, and dual GPS. I like having my watch all day, but especially when outdoors hiking, biking, etc. The 5 Pro is the only one that has GPX track capabilities built in, which I already utilize on my phone when outdoors. The Watch 4 also never lasted a good day with GPS on, and barely lasted a day of use with everything turned off. I really wanted the rotating bezel of the 6 Classic, but the bigger battery of the 5 Pro won out. Interesting thing I did notice is that the Watch 5 Pro WITH the new D Band was SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive, I think it came out to $225 before tax and after trade in. By comparison, changing to the dual color sport band, I was able to get the price to the aforementioned $152.99. Just keep that in mind.

Not for the full trade in value. They'll give you less and it's typically to their advantage
I believe you can keep the band for watch trade-ins.
Can anyone confirm this?
I think what holds me back is battery life on wear OS or apple watch is just never great. The only exception appears ticwatch because of their really cool dual screen low power mode functionality, but the newest version of that phone doesn't have Google Assistant in the older version is still stuck wear 2 (which just lost support for assistant as well).
Unfortunately when my current watch hits the skids I might switch to something like amazefit, garmin... Or maybe I'll just keep getting use out of my LG toneflex neck band which has a dedicated assistant button and can take voice notes and read and send notifications etc

Galaxy watch 4 classic is now going for about $130 on woot. Ticwatch devices with the 4100 chipset are now like a hundred bucks on the resale market as well.

I got the Watch5 Pro in '22 at launch with a $195 trade + launch sale + EDU or work discount etc.
I'm two months in with the Galaxy Watch6 Classic and it's a lateral move to me. Less battery than the 5 Pro, but looks much better on the wrist to me–others will never notice.
Anyway, the Watch5 Pro battery is insane, it officially spoiled me.
I generally run AOD and continuous heart rate monitoring on my Galaxy Watches with the GW3 then these two.
I don't think my 6 classic has bad life but man I'd forget to charge the 5 Pro because it never needed it!
Anyway, the 43mm and smaller size watches simply don't look as good and have the smaller batteries.
If you're dying to get an immediate upgrade, though, excellent deal.

Ive been getting in on these prerelease deals as best I can afford. I knew I had done it the last two or three times and still have most of the extras like watches and Buds just laying around. And when I saw this deal I began to look for my leftover watches so I could trade in for a "5" and what do I discover?
That I already have one, maybe two, "5" watches along with their predecessors a "3" that I actually gave as a present. And just might have a "4" as well….maybe more?
I guess I need to unload a couple?
PS. It's now almost 130AM CDST. And while I had to pay $10 more due to trading in the "3" I was still able to order it for $82+ BUT time will tell if it goes through at Samsungs end…..
