If you’re in the market for a smartwatch, ZDNET’s Kerry Wan says you won’t want to miss out on the best WearOS deal happening now. Right now, Samsung is offering its base model Watch FE for just $99 with an eligible trade-in. That’s right. The Galaxy Watch FE–>, which sells for $199 can be yours for only $99 (that’s 50% off) when you trade in any smartwatch in any condition.

“That’s easily one of the best trade-in promotions I’ve seen, so much so that I upgraded my mom’s Galaxy Watch 2 without hesitation. It’s a new Samsung smartwatch for $99, folks,” Wan said.
