Samsung's Black Friday looks different depending on which side of the Atlantic you are on. In the UK it has published a code and an end date. In the US it leans on trade-in credit, which makes the real price depend on what is in your drawer. And for the Galaxy Ring there is no offer at all yet, only forecasts. This page separates the three: what is confirmed for the Galaxy Watch 9, what last year's Watch 8 costs today, and how much weight to put on the Ring numbers going around.

The short version
Samsung's UK Black Friday offer is confirmed and already running: £50 off the Galaxy Watch 9 with code BFW at Samsung.com until 1 December. In the US the Watch 9 is being sold with trade-in credit rather than a clean price cut, and last year's Galaxy Watch 8 is about $273 at Amazon. Nothing has been confirmed for the Galaxy Ring, and every Ring price you will read this week is a forecast.
Galaxy Watch 9
The Galaxy Watch 9 went on sale on 7 August. US prices are $379 for the 40mm and $409 for the 44mm in Bluetooth, with LTE at $429 and $459. The UK price is £349.
| Region | Offer | Dates | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK | £50 off with code BFW, so £299 for the 40mm | 28 Oct to 1 Dec 2026 | Samsung UK newsroom, 30 Oct |
| US | Trade-in credit, or a smaller instant credit with no trade-in | Live in early November | PhoneArena's running deals page |
The UK offer is the simple one: a code, a fixed saving, and an end date. It applies at Samsung.com and Samsung Experience Stores. In the US Samsung prefers trade-in credit, which is only a discount if you have a watch to hand over and Samsung values it well. PhoneArena reports up to $250 that way, or a $50 credit without a trade-in. We could not open Samsung's US offer page to confirm those figures ourselves, so check them at checkout. Amazon and Best Buy usually answer with a plain price cut in Black Friday week, and that is the one to wait for if you have nothing to trade.
Galaxy Watch 8: the cheaper way in
The Gadgeteer found the 40mm Bluetooth Galaxy Watch 8 at $273.36 in Silver and $274.98 in Graphite at Amazon on 11 November. Our Watch 9 review concluded that the two are close: the case is the same shape, a month of testing on the Watch 9 still ended in a daily charge, and the health scores are the same generation. If the Watch 8 falls further in Black Friday week, it is the better value for most people with a Galaxy phone.
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
The Ultra 2 is £649 in the UK and is the Samsung watch that lasts two days. Samsung's UK announcement names only the Watch 9, so there is no confirmed Ultra 2 offer. A trade-in deal in the US is the most likely form any saving will take.
Galaxy Ring: forecasts only
The Galaxy Ring lists at $399.99. Samsung has announced nothing for it. Two deal sites have published expectations, and they disagree widely, which is a good measure of how much anyone knows.
| Who | Forecast | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Memeburn, 3 Nov | About 35 percent off, near $259 | Last year's prices and October's sale |
| Techtracker | $50 to $75 off | Select retailers |
Two things make a deep Ring discount plausible. It has been on sale since 2024, and the Galaxy Ring 2 is expected in early 2027, so stock needs to move. The same fact is the reason for caution: buy a Ring now only at a price you would be content with after the new one is announced. It still needs a Galaxy phone to be worth having, and our Galaxy Ring vs Oura Ring 5 comparison covers who should buy the Oura instead, which has its own Black Friday offer.
Galaxy Fit 4
The Galaxy Fit 4 has passed through the FCC and leaked in three colours, with no price and no date. It is not a reason to wait this month. If you want a cheap Samsung band today, the Fit3 at about $60 is in our under $100 guide.
Buy now or wait
- UK, want a Watch 9: the £50 code is confirmed through 1 December. There is no need to wait for the 27th.
- US, have a watch to trade: price Samsung's trade-in now. It is the largest saving available.
- US, nothing to trade: wait for Black Friday week and a straight retailer cut, or buy a Watch 8 near $273.
- Galaxy Ring: wait. Nothing is confirmed and the forecasts point down.
