Today’s Tech Deals: Galaxy Watch Ultra Steals the Show, Plus Savings on Galaxy S25, Surface Pro, and Galaxy Book 5
The Android universe is buzzing with fresh deals, and leading the pack is an exceptional opportunity to snag the Galaxy Watch Ultra. If you’ve been eyeing this flagship wearable, now’s the time to strike. You can currently secure any color and band combination for a straight $230 off the list price. This deal stands alone, offering impressive savings without requiring any trade-ins. But that’s not all – the savings deepen if you bundle the Galaxy Watch Ultra with the purchase of a new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra. These smartphones are also enjoying their own standalone cash discounts, potentially saving you up to $300 on top of the bundle offers.
Beyond wearables and smartphones, the spotlight extends to the laptop arena. Microsoft’s most budget-friendly Surface Pro Snapdragon X Elite Copilot+ PC is currently discounted by a substantial $350. Simultaneously, Samsung’s brand-new 2025 Galaxy Book 5 360 AMOLED touchscreen Copilot+ PC has hit a new all-time low price, offering $200 in savings. Let’s dive into the details of each of these enticing deals.
Galaxy Watch Ultra: A Deal Worth Watching
The previous Galaxy Watch Ultra deals during the Discover Samsung sale were, to put it mildly, underwhelming. However, Samsung has dramatically upped the ante. The company has reinstated the direct $230 price reduction on its premium wearable, bringing all colors and band configurations down to one of the most attractive prices we’ve seen to date. While more elaborate bundle offers might shave off a few extra dollars, this standalone discount is hard to ignore.
Currently, you can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra for $419.99 with free shipping directly from Samsung. This represents a significant $230 discount from the original $650 price. To claim this discount, simply select your preferred color and band style/color combination on the Samsung website. Then, scroll down to the "Samsung Trade-in" section and choose the option "No, Get $230 Samsung Instant Savings." This will automatically apply the discount to your order during checkout. No trade-in or bundles are required.
While Amazon may offer select colors of the Galaxy Watch Ultra at the same $419 price point, you won’t enjoy the same level of customization as offered directly through Samsung. Choosing Samsung gives you the freedom to select your preferred case color and band style, offering a personalized experience for a small premium.
And as mentioned earlier, the Galaxy Watch Ultra can drop even lower, to as low as $377.99, a $272 discount, if bundled with a Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra purchase directly from Samsung. This is particularly advantageous for individuals already planning to upgrade their smartphone.
Galaxy S25 Series: Still Delivering Straight Cash Discounts
For weeks, we’ve reported on the significant price reductions on the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra smartphones. While substantial discounts were available during the pre-order phase and again during the Discover Samsung sale, certain color options are beginning to sell out. However, considerable standalone cash discounts remain available directly from Samsung. You can now purchase the most affordable unlocked S25 Ultra model with a $300 discount, while the S25/+ variants are discounted by $150.
Though the pre-order deals may have included more appealing add-on accessory offers, today’s discounts are still impressive and represent excellent value. Plus, purchasing through the following method unlocks access to the Samsung-exclusive colorways, provided they are still in stock.
To take advantage of these discounts, navigate to the listing page of your desired Galaxy S25 model on the Samsung website. Select your preferred storage capacity and color. Then, scroll down to the "Samsung Trade-in" section and select "No, Get $300 Samsung Instant Savings."
While the prices on add-on gear are not as attractive as during the pre-order period, solid deals are still available. Buying a new phone through Samsung also give you the opportunity to purchase discounted accessories. For example, the regularly priced $250 Galaxy Buds Pro 3 are available for $146.99 when you buy a phone. You can also get $100 off the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Watch Ultra for $377.99.
Microsoft Surface Pro 11: A Powerful and Portable Bargain
Amazon is currently offering Microsoft’s Surface Pro 11 Copilot+ PC for $1,049.99, with free shipping. This represents a substantial 25% discount from its original price of $1,400. This deal marks one of the lowest prices we’ve seen to date for this particular model. While an Amazon-exclusive configuration with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD has been available for slightly less in the past, this is the lowest price we’ve tracked this year.
This Amazon-exclusive Surface Pro 11 Copilot+ notebook features 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It represents the base configuration of the Snapdragon X Elite model and is the most affordable variant available. The standard configuration includes a 512GB SSD and currently retails for $1,199.99 at Best Buy, down from its usual price of $1,500. However, the remaining specifications are identical, including a dedicated NPU for Copilot+ features and a vibrant 13-inch OLED panel with touch input support. Additional highlights include an all-day battery life, a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard, and more.
As an alternative, ASUS’ Vivobook S 15 OLED notebook is currently priced at $800. This model is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chip and is discounted from its original price of $1,300.
Samsung Galaxy Book 5 360: A 2-in-1 at a Great Price
Samsung is now offering its latest 2025 Galaxy Book 5 360 2-in-1 Copilot+ PC for $1,149.99 with free shipping. This represents a direct $200 discount on this fairly recent notebook, which debuted earlier this year in January with a price tag of $1,350. This is the first discount we’ve tracked for this 15.6-inch variant of the Book 5 360 2-in-1 notebook. Amazon is matching this price for this variant today, making it easier on your wallet.
In summary, today’s tech deals provide excellent opportunities for consumers looking to upgrade their smartphones, wearables, or laptops. Whether you’re seeking the cutting-edge features of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the power of the Galaxy S25 series, the portability of the Surface Pro 11, or the versatility of the Galaxy Book 5 360, there’s a deal to be found. Act quickly, as these deals are often time-sensitive or subject to limited availability.
