Smartwatch Deals: Where to Find Discounts and Free Shipping

By Isabella Reed • November 12, 2026

Where to buy a smartwatch with free shipping and how to get a discount: Apple refurbished, Galaxy Watch credit, budget picks and Black Friday deal timing.

Smartwatch prices drop more often than most people think, but the best deal is rarely the first price you see. Brand stores like Apple and Samsung ship for free and run their own trade-in, refurbished and member programs, while smaller brands such as Runmefit, Mibro and Fitaos cut prices on whole ranges and set their own free shipping limits. This guide shows where each store ships for free, the real ways to get a smartwatch discount, and when prices are lowest in the run-up to Black Friday. For every watch store we track, see our watches coupons and deals.

Where Can You Buy a Smartwatch With Free Shipping?

These are the free shipping rules we found on each store's own site, alongside the offers we keep on BunnyCoupon:

Amazfit and Suunto did not show a free shipping threshold on their home pages when we checked, so confirm the delivery cost in the basket before you pay. Big marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart and Target also offer free shipping above a minimum order or with their paid memberships, and the threshold is shown at checkout.

How to Get a Discount on a Smartwatch

A coupon is only one of several ways to pay less. These are the methods the watch brands themselves offer:

• Member and status programs. Samsung's Offer Programs give up to 30% off to verified students and educators, military members and veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, government workers and employees of partner companies. Amazfit runs a Special Discount Program for the military, teachers, first responders and government employees.
• Trade-in credit. Apple and Samsung both take your old device as credit toward a new one. At Samsung, the old device has to be sent in within 15 days for the trade-in credit to count.
• Refurbished watches. Apple sells certified refurbished Apple Watch models with a one-year warranty (see below).
• Email sign-up offers. Amazfit and Mibro each offer 10% off a first order when you join their email lists, and Runmefit offers 15% off.
• Range-wide sales at smaller brands. Budget brands often discount whole ranges rather than single models. Runmefit has listed up to 50% off its smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Stacking rules differ by store. Samsung says its Offer Program discount can be combined with public and seasonal offers, but it is applied after any trade-in credit.

Is a Refurbished Apple Watch Worth It?

For many buyers, yes. Apple's certified refurbished watches come with a one-year warranty, free delivery and free returns, and the savings are bigger than on most new-watch sales. These were some of the prices on Apple's refurbished store when we checked:

Refurbished stock changes daily, and older models such as the Series 10 or Ultra 2 usually show the biggest gap. Remember that an Apple Watch needs an iPhone to set up and use. For Apple's other ongoing offers, including trade-in and Apple Card payments, see our Apple coupons page.

Galaxy Watch Deals: Samsung Credit and Trade-In

Samsung's watch offers usually come as credit or trade-in value rather than a straight price cut. The current offers on Samsung's watch page are:

• Galaxy Watch Ultra2. Up to $100 in Samsung Credit for other eligible products when you buy on samsung.com or the Shop Samsung app, until December 27, 2026, while supplies last.
• Galaxy Watch9. $50 in Samsung Credit on the same terms, until December 27, 2026.
• Galaxy Watch8 Classic. Up to $200 with instant trade-in credit, or up to $79 off without a trade-in.

Samsung Credit is only worth it if you were going to buy something else from Samsung, such as earbuds or a charger. Galaxy Watches are made for Android phones, so check compatibility before you order. More Samsung offers are on our Samsung coupons page.

Cheap Smartwatches Under $150

If you mainly want step counts, heart rate, sleep tracking and notifications, budget brands cost a fraction of an Apple or Galaxy watch. Prices on our pages when we checked:

• Fitaos. Rugged Smartwatch for $69.99 and the F06 Fitness Tracker Smartwatch for $79.99.
• Mibro. The AeroPace GPS running watch for $139.99, and up to 36% off the GS Pro2 fitness smartwatch until November 30, 2026.
• Runmefit. Up to 50% off across its smartwatch range, with a one-year warranty on its wearables.

Budget watches usually have shorter software support and fewer apps than Apple or Samsung, so check which phone app they use and what it tracks before you buy.

When Are Smartwatch Prices Lowest?

The biggest smartwatch discounts of the year usually arrive between early November and the end of December:

• Best Buy. Its 10 days of Black Friday deals run from November 19 to 28, 2026. Our Best Buy Black Friday post has the full schedule.
• Samsung. The Galaxy Watch credit offers run until December 27, 2026, so there is no rush to buy before Black Friday unless a bigger trade-in deal appears.
• Amazfit. Its home page invites shoppers to sign up for early access to holiday offers, and its Fit Promise lets you swap for another Amazfit through January.

For other stores' sale dates, see our Black Friday deals guide and the live offers on our Black Friday deals page. A good rule is to note a watch's price now and compare it on the sale day, because a real deal beats the price from a week or two earlier, not just the crossed-out price.

What to Check Before You Buy a Smartwatch on Sale

• Phone compatibility. Apple Watch works with iPhone only, and Galaxy Watch is built for Android.
• Warranty. Apple's refurbished watches, Amazfit and Runmefit all list a one-year warranty.
• Returns. Apple and Suunto advertise free returns. Check each store's return window on its own policy page before you buy, especially for gifts.
• Cellular or GPS only. Cellular models cost more and need a separate plan from your carrier.
• Final price. Add the watch to the basket to see shipping and any discount applied before you compare stores.

How We Checked

We took free shipping rules, discount programs and offers from each brand's own site: Apple's refurbished Apple Watch store, Samsung's watch page and Offer Programs page, and the Amazfit and Suunto home pages. Prices and offers for Mibro, Runmefit, Fitaos and Best Buy come from the offers we check on their official sites for our store pages. We check these sources again whenever we update this guide. Prices and stock change quickly, so confirm the final price at checkout.
