The same deal is highlighted by 9to5Toys, which notes bundles can bring the total savings up to $370 when paired with the new Galaxy Watch 9 or Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.

Samsung is also providing an additional $100 off on watches when added to the same cart as the phone, stacking with up to $70 in bundle savings. This combination can reduce the price of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 by up to $170, as detailed by 9to5Google.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
