In a move that demonstrates its dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction, Samsung recently improved the trade-in values of older Samsung Galaxy Watches. As the company introduces its new Galaxy Watches powered by Wear OS, Samsung needs to make it easy for consumers to trade in their older Tizen-powered Galaxy Watch models and join the transformation. Take a look at these new wearable technologies and see how Samsung is revolutionising the smartwatch experience.
Good tidings if you’re a Samsung fanatic on a budget, as the company has just hiked the trade-in for owners of certain models of its own proprietary-Tizen-run Galaxy Watches up to as much as $100. Models eligible for the discount include the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch 3, Galaxy Watch Active, and Galaxy Watch Active 2. The caveat is that you’d need to switch over to either the Galaxy Watch 6, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic or, why not, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro – Samsung’s latest entry to a must-have gadget.
Tizen OS is being phased out and, in a selection of its own devices, Samsung is going with the Wear OS flow. The last day for Tizen-based watches will be May 2025, with support for Tizen OS services and apps no longer available. But in a clear expression of Samsung’s wearables’ ambitions for the future, there will be a new era of functionality with a Galaxy Watch ecosystem under the Wear OS name.
Samsung has streamlined the process for its Galaxy Watch fans, with an easy promo on its website where you can check what price you can get for trading in your Tizen-powered watch and explore the newer, more advanced models. This not only makes the latest Galaxy Watches more accessible but also shows Samsung providing value and support for their customers.
The latest wearable tech from Samsung, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, is available from today. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic are beautifully designed, and what you’d expect of cutting-edge wearable technology. Prices start at $299.99 and $429 respectively, but the improved trade-in program clearly makes some of the handsets more affordable.
It’s designed to be hard-wearing but still high-spec, and there’s definitely a market for such a product, especially since it’s fairly well-priced – especially if you use the trade-in credit. This is the watch for a very outdoorsy professional.
This directive makes most sense as a response to Samsung’s recent strategic reworking of its trade-in programme for the Galaxy Watch – but also as a statement of intent about what kind of obsession fits the near future of wearable technology. By smoothing the path between Apple WatchOS-powered models and Samsung’s Wear OS-powered offerings, the phone-maker is not only expanding an already-large list of pros-and-cons for those who are tempted to take the plunge. It’s also indicating what kind of product can take root and flourish in the years ahead.
And make no mistake: the word Galaxy refers to much more than Samsung’s watches, a mere third of its so-called ecosystem that comprises smartphones, tablets, and a whole host of accessories. The Galaxy ecosystem is fundamentally about offering a unified, multidevice experience that supports multiple use patterns among users who, for the most part, possess a wide range of individual needs.
Samsung’s trade-in deal for its second generation of Galaxy Watch, which offers $50 towards the purchase of the newer model, demonstrates a willingness on the part of the company to invest in being a leader in every part of a customer’s tech journey – not just buying a device, but helping them find a better way to use it or get rid of it when the time comes. The future of Galaxy, then, is not just a better way for us to relate to our tech, but connect with one another too.
