Should You Buy Now or Wait?

If you{"'"}re considering the Galaxy Watch 9 or Ultra 2, the current trade-in deals represent the best pricing available through August. Amazon{"'"}s $50/$100 gift card promotions expired on launch day (August 7), and seasonal discounts (Black Friday, Prime Day) aren{"'"}t expected until November.

The main reason to wait: the Pixel Watch 5 launches August 13 at $399 with significantly faster charging, and the Garmin Fenix 9 arrives in September. See our Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 battery review, compare Galaxy Watch Ultra prices, or browse all smartwatches.
