Android smartphones can’t use our favorite smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 7, but the existence of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch range is an excellent alternative for those ditching the iPhone. Samsung has just revealed its latest additions to the Galaxy Watch range – the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro – and as you might expect, both look to be exceptional smartwatches. If you’re in the market for a new Android smartwatch soon, keep a close eye on these two new inclusions.
But how do you buy one of them? Both of these smartwatches are currently only available for pre-order, and both will be released on August 26, so if you want one on launch day, you’ll need to grab it right away. Here’s how you can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
Pre-order from Samsung
You can get up to $180 off when you pre-order from Samsung and trade in a smartwatch. While you’ll get the most bang for your buck by trading in a premium device like the Apple Watch, Samsung allows trade-ins for almost any brand of smartwatch, though you’ll only get $75 for it. That’s not a bad deal if you have an old smartwatch gathering dust in a drawer. Pre-order will also get you a Samsung Wireless Duo Charger with Travel Adapter.

Pre-order from AT&T
