In the ongoing technological cosmos, a star has fallen. Samsung has formally ended support for its Tizen-powered smartwines and has shifted its Galaxy Watch range fully to the (Android-based) Wear OS. And, to coincide with this shift, Samsung is offering the kind of new technology special that smartwatch aficionados might marvel at: Trade your Galaxy Watch in for up to $100 in credit. It’s like a new galaxy of opportunity has opened up.
The Galaxy of Samsung smartwatches is shrinking. Samsung has announced it will end support for Tizen, the operating system that keeps older Galaxy Watches tethered to a Galaxy of apps and features. Anything already available predating the Galaxy Watch 3 is now unmoored in space, no longer updated and unable to receive new Tizen-based apps in the Galaxy Store. There’s never been a better time to upgrade.
The latest Galaxy Watch, the Galaxy Watch 6, is bursting with more features than ever, thanks to One UI Watch, based on the Tizen roots from before and from Wear OS, coming together to make a galaxy of a watch that’ll take your user experience a million stars closer.
Device | Credit Estimate |
---|---|
Galaxy Watch 3 | $100 |
Galaxy Watch | $100 |
Galaxy Watch Active 2 | $100 |
Galaxy Watch Active | $100 |
For this dual constellation of upgrade themes, those travelling this path – let’s call it the road to Galaxy Watch 6 – have plenty of reasons to forsake their S4 Classic and embrace a newer version of Samsung’s smartwatch dominion.

With competitor galaxies, like Best Buy’s upgrade-and-get-Galaxy/wsatch 3 offer orbiting at a distant $15, Samsung’s hundred-bucks of upgrade credit catches the light in the centre of the galaxy. Suddenly, Samsung’s upgrade path looks like a whole universe unto itself.
Don’t toss your old Galaxy Watch out an airlock before you see this story. In a rare convergence of higher trade-in values and the leap in tech that comes with the Galaxy Watch 6, this is a chance to take your smartwatch into a whole new galaxy-far, far away from what has been possible before now.
Now, as we remain grounded here on the Earth, and as we look up at the night sky, our eyes are teased once more with the openness of a Samsung-built door, this time to our very Universe. For unlike the tardiness of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the very Galaxy of which Samsung’s watch is named is a spinning and living cosmic entity. A Galaxy is, as we know it, a surging, breathing star with billions of planets, nebulae, star eggs, and moons orbiting it both above and beyond. Our Galaxy is a living, expanding, spiralling Sun encircled with hundreds of billions of cosmic siblings. A Galaxy is another Universe so young and undiscovered that it’s still evolving. When you upgrade your Galaxy Watch, you aren’t merely purchasing another gadget to add to your collection. You are buying into the non-stop dynamism of human ingenuity and exploration that exists both in our Universe and beyond.
Join Samsung and stretch your imagination to the limits of possible technologies with the Galaxy Watch.
