The Galaxy Watch 9 Costco preorder is undercutting Samsung’s own listed price before the smartwatch reaches buyers on Aug. 7. According to Costco listings reported by The Verge, members can order the 40mm model for $339.99 and get two wireless fast chargers plus a $50 Costco gift card.
The offer applies to the 40mm Galaxy Watch 9 in cream or graphite. The Verge reported that the Costco price is $40 below the list price for the watch by itself from Samsung, making the warehouse club’s bundle one of the more aggressive preorder offers available for the new wearable.
What is included in the Galaxy Watch 9 Costco deal?
Costco’s preorder bundle includes the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 9, two wireless fast chargers for the watch and a $50 Costco gift card, according to The Verge. The listed price is $339.99 for Costco members.
The deal is notable because it lowers the upfront price while adding accessories and store credit. The Verge said the discount also offsets the $30 price increase from the prior generation.
Costco membership is required to buy from the warehouse retailer. The Verge noted that a one-year Costco membership costs $65, which it said is less than the value of the added items in the bundle.
What changes are coming with Galaxy Watch 9?
Samsung says the Galaxy Watch 9 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite chip designed with AI performance in mind, according to The Verge. The company is also touting new health-tracking features and improved battery life for the watch.
The Verge said it spent time with the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch 2 Ultra at Samsung’s July 2026 Unpacked event. That hands-on time came ahead of the watches’ early August launch, so the current details are based on preorder information and early impressions rather than long-term testing.
A smartwatch preorder bundle can change the buying calculation because buyers are comparing more than the device price. In this case, the $339.99 Costco offer sits below Samsung’s standalone list price for the 40mm watch and adds a gift card and chargers for people who already have, or are willing to buy, a membership.
The deal is limited by the details Costco lists: the 40mm size and the cream or graphite color options. The Verge did not report the same bundle for other sizes, colors or cellular configurations.
