How to buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro

Android smartphones can’t use our favorite smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 7, but the existence of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch range is an excellent alternative for those who forsake iPhones. The newest inclusions in the Samsung Galaxy Watch range — the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro — are now available for purchase, and as you might expect, both are exceptional smartwatches. If you’re looking for a new Android smartwatch, these two watches should be the first on your list to consider.

So how do you buy one? Pre-orders have ended, and people will now have received the brand-new watches they pre-ordered. But even if you missed the pre-order rush, there are plenty to still grab. Here’s how you can buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

Buying from Samsung

You can get up to $240 off when you buy from Samsung and trade in a smartwatch. Only the top flagship smartwatches will get $240, but you’re guaranteed to get at least $125 from an eligible trade-in. That’s not a bad deal if you have an old smartwatch gathering dust in a drawer. You’ll also get the chance to grab special golf-themed editions of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro when you buy from Samsung.

$450 upfront, $18.76 a month for 24 months, or $112.50 every two weeks for two months.

$500 upfront, $20.84 a month for 24 months, or $125 every two weeks for two months.

$280 upfront, $11.67 a month for 24 months, or $70 every two weeks for two months.

$310 upfront, $12.92 a month for 24 months, or $77.50 every two weeks for two months.

$330 upfront, $13.76 a month for 24 months, or $82.50 every two weeks for two months.

$360 upfront, $15.01 a month for 24 months, or $90 every two weeks for two months.

Buying from AT&T

As it’s a network carrier, AT&T is only offering the LTE models of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It’s also offering the watches on 36-month contracts, which makes them a tad more affordable if you’re a little worried about the size of monthly payments.

There are trade-ins available, but you’ll be trading them in for an AT&T promotional card rather than directly trading it for the watch. As such, the only limit is on the value of the device you’re trading in, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max will net you a $650 card you can use to buy your device outright or pay your monthly bills.

$500 upfront or $13.89 a month for 36 months.

$330 upfront or $9.17 a month for 36 months.

$360 upfront or $10 a month for 24 months.

Buying from T-Mobile

Love the Uncarrier and can’t wait to get your Galaxy Watch on it? You can buy your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro from T-Mobile, and get another one for free as well when you add a line. That’s a solid deal and great if you’re looking to buy more than one (or just want a gift for later). For the Galaxy Watch 5, there’s a straight money-off deal that knocks down the monthly payments quite significantly when you add a watch line. For the 40mm Galaxy Watch 5, it’s $99 off, while for the 44mm variant, it’s $149 off.

$500 upfront or $20.84 a month for 24 months.

$330 upfront or $4.12 a month for 24 months ($13.75 a month without the $99 discount).

$360 upfront or $6.20 a month for 24 months ($15 a month without the $149 discount).

Buying from Verizon

Verizon is offering some fairly tasty deals. Not only can you spread your purchase across 36 months, reducing monthly payments, but you can also save up to $180 by trading in a smartwatch whether you’re adding a new line or upgrading an existing one.

$500 upfront or $13.88 a month for 36 months.

$360 upfront or $9.99 a month for 36 months.

$330 upfront or $9.16 a month for 36 months.

How one bad decision is ruining all of Samsung’s new phones
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 in cream, blue, and black.

This summer’s Galaxy Unpacked event was the usual great fun. We got a new Galaxy Z Fold 5 with an improved hinge and more powerful chip, plus the Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a cover screen that’s large enough to see what’s going on. These were joined by the return of a much-loved design in the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, with some refinements to make it even more classy, plus a standard Galaxy Watch 6 and a full new lineup of Samsung tablets.

However, Samsung’s latest product lineup also confirms the road I’ve feared the South Korean gadget maker has been on for at least a few months now. Samsung is getting more serious and less fun and whimsical in its product designs, especially when it comes to color choices.

I’m buying a new Samsung folding phone, but not the one you’d expect

I bought the original Samsung Galaxy Fold, which I still have today, and I absolutely loved its futuristic design, multimedia ability, and feeling like I was right on the cutting edge of consumer mobile tech. I purchased the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021 and upgraded to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in 2022 — so surely I’ve already pre-ordered the Galaxy Z Fold 5, right?

Ordering the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6? Don’t miss this exclusive deal
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, with a red dial.

If you watched Samsung's Unpacked event a couple of days ago, you've seen the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and all their great improvements on the previous generation. Of course, they're both going to cost a pretty penny, but luckily we have an exclusive deal from Samsung that will get you an extra $50 at checkout; you just need to use our link. On top of that, Samsung has its own pre-order bonus, which adds a free fabric band with any purchase, plus you can get up to $250 off with eligible trade-ins.

Why you should pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
The most visible changes to the new lineup of Galaxy Watches are the larger screens across the board, with the smaller frame having a 1.3-inch screen and the larger frame having a 1.5-inch screen. So, whether you go for the Watch 6 40mm, or the 44m Watch 6 Classic, you're still getting the 1.3-inch screen, which makes life a bit easier when picking which watch to go for. Another big bump is in the processing power, with the new Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic sporting the Exynos W930 processor, and Samsung claims it's 18% faster than the Watch 5 processors and will give you an overall snappier performance.
