Here’s a chance to land Galaxy Watch Ultra at $250 ($400 off orig. price, ‘excellent-refurb’)

Samsung Galaxy S26 pre-order day has arrived with the next-generation of Galaxy devices set to go up for pre-order this afternoon – all of the details on the best deals are right here. But we wanted to highlight this deep deal on Galaxy Watch Ultra while you can pick up the originally $650 wearable down at $249.99 shipped. Details below.

Over at Best Buy you’ll find the 2024 Galaxy Watch Ultra in a few different colors sitting down at $249.99 shipped. These are “Excellent – Refurbished” units courtesy of the official Cellfee storefront on Best Buy. This is a highly-rated third-party seller, but we are also talking about a sizable $400 off the original price here:

These listings say that “all sellers have agreed to match the Best Buy Return Policy” which gives you a minimum if 15 days to scope it out and ensure it is up to your standards. The listing does specifically state there is a 1-year parts and labor warranty on these units, but it’s hard for us to confirm this. Either way, you’re looking at a giant discount and you’ll have at least 15 days to check it all out before you decide to keep or return it – several reports seem to suggest these units landed in solid quality. 

Largely the same as the newer 2025 update, save for the new blue color option and some additional RAM, the latest model is currently starting at $530, or $120 off at Amazon and on the official Samsung site.

How to get the best deals on Galaxy S26 pre-orders ahead of this week’s launch

  • Score a FREE $30 credit towards bonus accessories – these usually include phone cases, Galaxy Watch models, and likely the new Galaxy Buds 4, among other things. 
  • Up to $900 in trade-in value – Samsung is promoting up to $900 off the new S26 devices with trade-ins. If this works anything like last year, you won’t actually have to Reserve to see this sort of value, but again, it’s hard to say for sure. Chances are the $900 off only applies to the most expensive S26 Ultra, and only with a relatively new device to flip, but there will nonetheless be a chance to save hundreds on all of the S26 devices with trade-ins directly from Samsung.com
  • Up to $150 off Galaxy S26 devices – Samsung has already said it will also be offering $150 cash discounts on Galaxy S26 devices but it does not appear to be promoting this on its Reservation page here in the U.S. We can’t say for sure if this will actually be the case when pre-order day arrives, or if it is indeed tied to Reservation sign-ups, but you likely don’t want to miss out here if it is.
