My biggest frustration with Samsung watches is how much they lock features behind requiring Samsung phones.

On any non-Samsung Android phone, you can't use (via Google)...

ECG: Requires the proprietary Samsung Health Monitor app, which is restricted to Galaxy phones.
Blood Pressure Monitoring: Also locked behind the Samsung Health Monitor ecosystem.
Sleep Apnea Detection & Vitals Tracking: Advanced diagnostic and regulatory-cleared health metrics do not sync or function properly without a Samsung device.
Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications: Automated background rhythm alerts are unavailable
Samsung Pay / Tap to Pay: NFC payments through Samsung's wallet service require a Samsung phone.
Alarms & Reminders Sync: You cannot automatically sync alarms or native reminder lists between a non-Samsung phone and the watch.
Modes and Routines Sync: "Do Not Disturb" and focus mode states do not mirror back and forth automatically.
Camera Controller: The remote camera shutter app for your phone only works with compatible Galaxy devices.
Connected Device Diagnostics: Hardware checks via the Samsung Members app are exclusive to Samsung phones

I'm getting $120 with trade-in of a watch 7; although I'm not sure there's a meaningful gain in features going from the 7 to the 9.

I'd only do this if this was less than $100. It's showing $83 for me after selecting watch 7 for trade in.

The product link in this post is for informational purposes, but to buy at the Employee or Education price, you need to sign in from a different url. I've had my account here for a long time that I got when I was in school and had a .edu email address. https://www.samsung.com/us/shop/o...workplace/

Samsung only 2 of the same product every year for the discount. Did you get watches from Samsung recently?

Yes, it's an ecosystem lockin. Pixel watches are better in that regard.
