Samsung's newest Galaxy watch is here, after a whirlwind launch earlier this mont the brand's 'thinnest ever watch' is out. The Galaxy Watch8 is soaring in popularity thanks to smooth phone syncability and fitness stats.

We've untapped a way to get this brand new model for less. Despite being brand new, Samsung is offering a much cheaper price to shoppers, if they do one thing as they buy the Galaxy Watch8...hand their older model in.

The £319 launch price drops to £199 for those who click the 'trade in' option. Launching with a snug design, powerful processor, and the usual sleep and health tracking this model could catch keen shoppers' attention.

Not to forget Samsung's brand new One UI experience. This aims to give wearers a seamless app integration between devices. To find this, scroll down to the 'want £120 off?' window and click 'yes please', and it's here were options will show for the trade-in discount. Anyone who trades in an older Samsung watch and Apple will get as much as £120 off, with brands like Fitbit £50.

There's an option for Garmin wearers too. The Samsung listing shows a maximum price drop of £60 - which cuts the Watch8 price to £259. All of these prices depend on the age and quality of the watch handed over, which is something for shoppers to keep in mind.

The biggest £120 trade-in discount makes the model £200 cheaper than Apple's rival flagship wearable - the Watch Series 10 in aluminium. The competitor model starts at £399 on the Apple store but can be also be found at retailers includingAmazon.

Another option for Apple fans is Sky Mobile, it offers a cheaper way to split the newest Apple model into smaller payments. Currently it's priced at £13 per month on a 36-month contract.

Samsung fans don't miss out either, the olderGalaxy Watch 7 is priced at £9 per month on a 36-month device plan. When broken down to a price-per-day, that's 30p.

The Galaxy Watch8 is the cheaper, and smaller model of Samsung's newest wearables, and it doesn't have everything its sibling the Galaxy Watch Classic has - like a Rotating Bezel which makes it easier to use the screen. Although, the added features of the Watch Classic come with a bigger£443 price tag.
