How to buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watches bring a change for its wearables where naming conventions are concerned — the “Active” label is out in favor of “Galaxy Watch” and “Galaxy Watch Classic.” The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic is the stylish smartwatch we’ve come to know and love, with the rotating bezel and generally bulkier design, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is the smaller, sleeker version that active people will flock to.

Both watches are currently available for purchase, and regardless of which smartwatch you choose, you’re going to need to know where to buy them. Here’s how to buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic.

It should come as no surprise that Samsung is probably the place to buy your new watch, with an enormous array of strap styles and colors to choose from, including a custom option. Here are the prices for all of the watches.

Buying the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 42mm, with Bluetooth

$350 ($300 with trade-in), or $9.73 per month for 36 months (or $8.34 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 42mm, with LTE

$400 ($350 with trade-in), or $11.12 per month for 36 months (or $9.73 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 46mm, with Bluetooth

$380 ($330 with trade-in), or $10.56 per month for 36 months (or $9.17 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 46mm, with LTE

$430 ($380 with trade-in), or $11.95 per month for 36 months (or $10.56 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

You can score up to $50 off each of the models above by trading in an eligible smartwatch from a number of brands. We have noted the discounted prices with the top tier of trade-in above.

Pre-ordering the Galaxy Watch 4

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 40mm, with Bluetooth

$250 ($220 with trade-in), or $6.95 per month for 36 months (or $6.12 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 40mm, with LTE

$300 ($250 with trade-in), or $8.34 per month for 36 months (or $6.95 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 44mm, with Bluetooth

$280 ($250 with trade-in), or $7.78 per month for 36 months ($6.95 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 44mm, with LTE

$330 ($280 with trade-in), or $9.17 per month for 36 months ($7.78 per month for 36 months with trade-in)

The trade-in discounts are nowhere as good as they were when the watches first launched, but they’re still worth paying attention to.

How to buy from AT&T

AT&T is only offering the LTE-equipped models, but it’s a great place to score one for a monthly price.

Buying the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 42mm, with LTE

$400, or $11.12 per month for 36 months

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 46mm, with LTE

$430, or $11.95 per month for 36 months

You can get AT&T credit when you trade in an eligible smartwatch to AT&T. You can either use that credit to pay your bill or pay for other purchases from AT&T.

Buying the Galaxy Watch 4

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 40mm, with LTE

$300, or $8.34 per month for 36 months

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 44mm, with LTE

$330, or $9.17 per month for 36 months

Like with the more expensive Classic above, a trade-in can score you AT&T credit to use on your bill or other AT&T purchases.

How to buy from T-Mobile

Like with AT&T, you’ll only find the LTE models on offer here. But T-Mobile’s deals are tempting if you don’t want to be tied into AT&T deals for a full three years since T-Mobile offers two-year contracts instead. But the biggest reason to go for T-Mobile is the hefty bonus it gives you for adding a watch line to a qualifying contract. See the details below.

Buying the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 42mm, with LTE

 — $400, or $16.67 per month for 24 months (or $2.04 per month for 24 months when you add a watch line)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 46mm, with LTE

$430, or $17.92 per month for 24 months (or $8.96 per month for 24 months when you add a watch line)

Buying the Galaxy Watch 4

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 40mm, with LTE

$300, or $12.50 per month for 24 months (or free when you add a watch line)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 44mm, with LTE

$330, or $13.75 per month for 24 months (or $1.20 per month for 24 months when you add a watch line)

How to buy from Verizon

Tied into Big Red? Not a problem; You can still grab your watch with LTE already tuned to Verizon’s network. However, you’re more restricted on models for the Galaxy Watch 4, with only the 40mm model on sale.

You can also get an additional $180 with a trade-in, or buy one and get another for up to $300 off, or save $300 by buying it alongside an Android phone.

Buying the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 42mm, with LTE

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 have a headphone jack?
The top of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Samsung has just concluded its second Unpacked Event for 2023, where it unveiled its next generation of foldable smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip (customized for Samsung) and feature sleeker builds and brighter displays, among other improvements. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 also gets support for an improved S Pen and better multitasking abilities with support for up to four apps simultaneously.

Besides its productivity features, the Galaxy Z Fold's expansive inner screen also makes it an excellent device for entertainment and gaming. Samsung says the inner folding display gets as bright as 1,750 nits -- the brightest ever on any Galaxy Z Fold series device. This ensures the display delivers clear and well-defined output, irrespective of how challenging the ambient lighting may be. For purists looking to consume media on this large screen, one question remains: does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 have a 3.5mm headphone jack?

Samsung just announced 3 new Android tablets. Here’s a first look

Samsung has a fresh portfolio of tablets to take on the iPad lineup. These flagship Android slates span three size formats and price points. The new Galaxy Tab S9 trio is nearly identical in heft and footprint to the Galaxy Tab S8 series, save for a minor design tweak, a new chip, and fresh color options.

The pill-shaped camera island is gone, and we now have a floating lens look that's similar to that of the Galaxy S23 series phones. Plus, there’s an eye-pleasing beige color option to pick from this year. The rest of the package is a modest iterative upgrade at best.

It's time to loosen up those wallet and purse strings because Galaxy Unpacked has revealed a whole lot of expensive new tech you're going to love getting your hands on. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked July 2023 introduced us to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, and the reinvention of a popular brand, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is the sportier and cheaper part of Samsung's new watch line, and it's definitely worth considering.

The new Galaxy Watch 6 isn't a massive departure from the previous generation of Samsung's watch, but Samsung didn't need to do much to what was an excellent smartwatch. Instead, it's spent some time looking at what made the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 great, and it's made everything on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 just a little bit better. Here's everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6.
