■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Costco is offering Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 at $339.99—$40 below Samsung's list price—with over $50 in bundled accessories ahead of the watch's August 7th launch.

The Costco preorder deal includes the 40mm Galaxy Watch 9 in cream or graphite, two wireless fast chargers, and a $50 Costco gift card. The combined value of accessories and discount effectively brings the total package cost well below the standard retail price. This represents the strongest preorder incentive for the Galaxy Watch 9 announced so far. The discount helps offset the $30 price increase Samsung implemented in the generation-to-generation transition, making the new model more competitive for early adopters. The deal applies to both color options and is available for Costco members. Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 launches August 7th with the company's latest Wear OS updates and improved battery performance.
