The Galaxy Watch is part of a huge freebie bundle worth more than £500
Samsung fans considering an upgrade to the newest smartphone can bag a free smartwatch worth more than £300 if they upgrade their old device. But the mega offer won’t last long.
Available to anyone looking at Samsung’s newest Galaxy S26 lineup, anyone who buys a new handset from Sky Mobile will get the accessory for free. Including S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra shoppers.
Galaxy S26 shoppers will get the Galaxy Watch 8, worth £319, added to their order for £0 alongside the S26 handset they pick. Monthly costs for the mobiles begin at £30 for the entry-level model, climbing to £38 and £45 for the S26+ and S26 Ultra, respectively, reports the Mirror.

Each handset also includes a 100MB data allowance for mobile usage, though more demanding users can buy additional data for extra charges. The Galaxy Watch 8 can be claimed, after the Sky checkout, within 30 days.
It’s not the only free device on offer, as the Galaxy Buds4 Pro are also added in for free, bringing the total freebie deal to a huge £538 combined. One condition is that customers must pay a £12 upfront charge and commit to a 36-month contract to access these rates. There is also the offer to upgrade to a fresh device after 24 months without additional expense.
Get a free Galaxy Watch8 with the Galaxy S26
Samsung is giving away a free Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro when shoppers order a Galaxy S26, S26+ or S26 Ultra or Sky Mobile.
Meanwhile, Samsung shoppers can also get a free laptop worth £399 through a competing Galaxy S26 offer at Mobiles.co.uk. Shoppers ordering one of the new S26 handsets from the Currys-supported website can receive a complimentary 14″ Chromebook Go, which carries an RRP of £399 – but this deal ends on May, 6.
For Samsung mobile shoppers, both Amazon and Samsung currently list the standard Galaxy S26 model at £879. Samsung’s newest S series has earned rave reviews from technology experts following its February debut, with the most powerful variant, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, getting extra attention.
As Harriet Morphy-Morris laid out the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s best features while reviewing the model. She said: “The S26 Ultra’s built-in Privacy Display, with a simple tap of a button, lets users keep information on their screen hidden from nosy eyes. Out of all the device’s upgrades, this is the selling point.
“Its charging speed is another point to highlight, whizzing to 75% in just 30 minutes. Another favourite feature (on paper, as I’m yet to try it out properly) is the Horizontal Lock, a filming setting which keeps the video stable and steady – no more need to pack a gimbal.
“The AI is one worth mentioning, and two of its biggest additions come to photography with the S26 Nudge. This scours phone text so users don’t have to. It’s particularly helpful with photos; instead of endlessly scrolling to find an image to send to a friend, Nudge will pull a suitable one from the camera roll.”
However, apart from these top new features, the device is pretty similar to the previous Galaxy S25 Ultra, so those with a stripped-back budget may want to consider this option instead. As Harriet explained: “Apart from the standout AI, Horizontal Lock (a lifesaver for content creators), and of course the Privacy Display tapped under the hood, the outside of these devices is nearly identical to previous Galaxy Ultra models – excluding the pre-order exclusive Pink Gold and Silver Shadow colours.“
