Samsung’s End of Financial Year sale began May 28, discounting much of its Galaxy Watch lineup—including the Watch 8 range and Watch Ultra—and bundling a free band with eligible models.
35% off is available on selected Galaxy Watch deals, with the standard Watch 8 also getting a free Athleisure band; the LTE version is listed at AU$519.35.
46mm Galaxy Watch 8 Classic targets buyers wanting a larger, more premium model, adding a rotating bezel, stainless steel case, 64GB storage and a 445mAh battery, plus the same free band offer.
Galaxy Watch Ultra remains Samsung’s rugged flagship, with a titanium build, 3,000-nit display, 590mAh battery and outdoor features like Dive Mode and an emergency siren; its free PeakForm band requires code LS-WEOFY26.
The promotion highlights Samsung’s push to keep its Android smartwatch range competitive in 2026, leaning on health tracking, dual-band GPS and AMOLED displays as key selling points.
