Optus Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 deals: Score a bonus Galaxy Watch 6
Optus is sweetening the deal on the Z series by giving away:
- A bonus Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm) with either of the folding phones, valued at up to $649. Your colour options are either gold or graphite. You can choose the 44mm variant for an additional $50.
The caveat is that you'll also need to sign up to a watch plan from Optus ($10 a month) for at least 24 months.
However, if you're looking for the latest smartwatch for cheaper, you'll still end up saving money despite the watch plan.
