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 who forsake iPhones. Samsung has just revealed its newest inclusions in the Galaxy Watch range — the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro — and as you might expect, both seem set to be exceptional smartwatches. If you’re looking for a new Android smartwatch soon, keep a close eye on these two new inclusions.
But how do you buy one of them? Right now, both of these smartwatches are available only as pre-orders, and both will release August 26, so if you want one on launch day, you’ll need to get it right now. Here’s how you can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
Pre-ordering 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 biggest bang for your buck by trading in a premium device like an Apple Watch, Samsung does allow for trade-ins of almost any smartwatch brand, 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. You’ll also get a Samsung Wireless Duo Charger with a travel adapter when you pre-order.

Pre-ordering from AT&T
As it’s a network carrier, AT&T is only offering the LTE models of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It’s also offering the watches on 36-month contracts, which makes them a tad more affordable if you’re a little worried about the size of monthly payments.

Pre-ordering from T-Mobile
Love the Uncarrier and can’t wait to get your Galaxy Watch on it? You can buy your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro from T-Mobile, and get another one for free as well, when you add a line. That’s a solid deal, and great if you’re looking to buy more than one (or just want a gift for later). For the Galaxy Watch 5, there’s a straight money-off deal that knocks down the monthly payments quite significantly when you add a watch line. For the 40mm Galaxy Watch 5 it’s $99 off, while for the 44mm variant it’s $149 off.
