Pre-Order the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 Now and Get a $50 Amazon Gift Card.
Samsung just announced a slew of new products at its July Unpacked event , including the highly anticipated Galaxy Watch 9. It’s now available for pre-order , and Amazon is making the launch even sweeter by offering a free $50 gift card for both the 40mm and 44mm models. With the bonus, the price of the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 is reduced to $329.99 (originally $379.99), while the 44mm version is down to $409.99 (originally $459.99), making this a great deal for those who can use an Amazon gift card.
This isn’t a direct discount, but it’s a great pre-order bonus for those already planning to purchase Samsung’s latest everyday smartwatch. The Galaxy Watch 9 features a thinner 8.6mm case and an AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 3000 nits. It runs on an updated Qualcomm SW6100 chip, delivering improved CPU and GPU performance, with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The watch is IP68-rated for water resistance up to 50 meters, and has undergone military-grade durability testing, making it even more robust than before.
The Watch 9 adds new AI-powered health tracking features , including vital signs, a fitness index, and an updated running coach, as well as the ability to start listening to instructions as soon as you raise your wrist to talk, without the need to enter a passcode. Updates also include a fitness feature that is said to measure flexibility and increased durability for water sports like diving. Battery life has also been improved: the 40mm model has a 390mAh battery and is rated for 30 hours of use with the always-on display turned on, while the 44mm model has a 445mAh battery. This is larger than the Galaxy Watch 8, which has 325mAh and 435mAh batteries, respectively.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 is scheduled to launch on August 7, but Amazon’s $50 gift card offer may disappear sooner. Since this is a pre-order promotion rather than a cash sale, it’s only worth it if you were already considering the Watch 9 and can use the gift card. While it’s not a mandatory upgrade for Galaxy Watch 8 owners, the thinner design, brighter display, new processor, longer-lasting batteries, and expanded health and fitness tools are all notable improvements.
