Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Now Costs the Same as the Entry-Level Apple Watch SE 2025
Samsung must really have a thing for rehoming or recycling used electronics, because they’re dropping yet another enormous trade-in deal, this time on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Max out the $400 trade-in credit offer and get the top smartwatch in the entire Galaxy family for just $250 — the same price as Apple’s third-tier Apple Watch SE.
This rugged 47mm smartwatch comes in three colors, with three types of interchangeable bands available. All three bands and the extremely durable titanium face are designed to make the Galaxy Watch Ultra your ideal wearable for hardcore workouts on land or in the water, and any outdoor adventures you’re brave enough to undertake.
Fitness First
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a true beauty, but it’s hardly a vanity purchase. This is the smartwatch you want on your wrist if you’re a lover of the active life. Swimmers, divers, kayakers, and other aquatic fans will appreciate the 10-atmosphere waterproofing. If you’re going off the beaten path in search of the ideal rock face to climb, the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s turn-by-turn navigation and improved GPS will guide you back to civilization.
All of the fitness metrics and readouts you need are collected and shown on your Galaxy Phone, with incredibly precise heart-rate tracking that’s aided by Galaxy AI, which filters out the physical movements of your body for a better reading. VO2 Max and even estimated sweat loss are measured. Runners and bikers can use the Galaxy AI-aided tracking of their last run or ride and compare it to their current one to keep track of their performance.
You Need Rest…
…but the Galaxy Watch Ultra is seemingly inexhaustible, with the longest-lasting battery life of any Samsung Galaxy Watch yet. This means your smartwatch is on the job even while you sleep, measuring the quality and restfulness of your slumbers and keeping a watchful eye out for signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea.
Galaxy AI is the key to the personalized suggestions and Wellness Tips your Galaxy Watch Ultra delivers to you, as it takes the readings gathered by your watch and synthesizes them into actionable advice delivered to your phone.
We’re not sure what happens to all of those devices sent to Samsung as part of all of these amazing trade-in offers. All we know is, the credits given back are extremely generous, enabling Samsung to sell top-level wearables like the Galaxy Watch Ultra for as little as $250. Round up your trade-ins and upgrade yourself to one of the best fitness smartwatches on the market today.
