Lowest price I've found if you're thinking of upgrading the Galaxy Watch. Trading in the 7 gets you $250 off original price, 6 is $225 and it just goes down the older the model. I've been hoping Samsung would replicate the deal from last year but it doesn't look like it will happen.

Editing to add, an employer OR education offer program shaves off another $10, making the price $89.99

The Galaxy Watch8 40mm is being framed as a modest upgrade best for speed and a brighter screen, but the trade in promo is the real story here. The Watch 7 and even the Watch 4 line are described as feeling much faster in everyday use, with less lag when opening apps and switching screens. The main drawback is the trade in math, which is repeatedly described as confusing because the sale price can disappear at checkout and the effective discount looks far smaller than advertised. The squircle design also draws criticism for looking bulkier and less appealing, making this feel like a limited upgrade unless the pricing works out.
The trade-in discount can be applied at payment time after the reset and condition checks.
Documenting the reset process with video, photos, and IMEI details can help protect against trade-in declines.
Trade-ins can be resolved quickly when credits do not apply correctly, including manual approval after a short chat.
The Galaxy Watch8 upgrade experience can feel much faster than older models with very little lag.
The checkout math can remove the sale price when trading Watch 7, making the upgrade cost far higher than expected.
The effective trade-in value can end up closer to about $150 rather than the displayed $250, which makes the deal feel deceptive.
Trade-in denials can happen when the watch is not reset correctly, even when the sender believes it was reset.
The Watch8 design is criticized as bulkier and uglier, with a squircle-style border that wastes space.
