Samsung is about to release a new series of Galaxy Watches, so if you own an old model and wish for an upgrade, you could wait until Galaxy Unpacked and see what trade-in offers Samsung has in store for you. Or you could turn that old and unsupported Samsung smartwatch into a Galaxy Ring today.

In the USA, Samsung’s trade-in program for the Galaxy Ring supports not only other smart ring brands but also smartwatches. In other words, if you want to get rid of an old smartwatch that Samsung no longer supports with firmware updates, you can exchange it for a hefty discount on Samsung’s smallest wearable.

Ignoring the Galaxy Watch 4 and later models, Samsung accepts the following models and offers these trade-in discounts for Galaxy Ring buyers.

  • $80 discount on the Galaxy Ring when you exchange the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active 2, or Gear Fit 2.
  • $90 discount on the Galaxy Ring when you trade-in the Gear S3.
  • $100 discount on the Galaxy Ring when you exchange the Galaxy Watch 3.

The Galaxy Ring starts at $399, which means you could replace your aging, unsupported Samsung smartwatch with this ultra-small health and fitness tracker for only $299.

For newer Galaxy Watches, Samsung offers bigger discounts on the Galaxy Ring (up to $150), so check out the company’s e-shop for all the details you need.

As usual, regardless of whether or not you use the trade-in program, you can buy the Galaxy Ring from Samsung in the USA through a one-time payment, a 24-month Samsung Financing plan, or in four installments — one every two weeks.

The Galaxy Ring is available in eleven sizes, and if you don’t know your ring size, Samsung will ship you the official Sizing Kit for free. Battery life is rated for up to six days on a full charge, but the battery capacity differs slightly across the full range of Ring sizes.

All eleven Galaxy Ring sizes are available in Titanium Silver, Titanium Gold, and Titanium Black. You can pick your favorite finish no matter which smartwatch you trade.
