Samsung's new flagship smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9, cost more than their predecessors, the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra, most likely due to the hardware upgrades they offer and rising memory chip costs.
To help offset the higher price, the company is bundling a few complimentary perks with both wearables.
Buyers of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9 get 60 days of Strava and two months of iFIT subscriptions at no additional cost. Considering that Strava and iFIT Premium subscriptions normally cost $11.99 and $15 per month, respectively, you are getting benefits worth $53.98.
Strava, as well as iFIT, offer apps for Galaxy Watches (Wear OS). The Strava app can track various physical activities and sports, including walking, running, hiking, and swimming, and record their time, distance, and heart rate, among other things.
The iFIT app, on the other hand, syncs your health data, such as heart rate, with equipment supporting iFIT, such as treadmills from NordicTrack.
Samsung says that to activate Strava’s free trial on your Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 or the Galaxy Watch 9, “users can open the Strava mobile app, go to Settings and tap the Samsung offer.” As for iFIT, the brand says that to activate its free trial on the two wearables, “users can open the Samsung Health app on their mobile phone and tap promotion in the Settings menu.”
