If you’re based in Canada and you’re looking to purchase Samsung’s latest flagship Galaxy S5 smartphone, you might be in for a little treat.

The handheld device will make a global debut on April 11 and Canadian carrier Rogers is one of establishments that will be offering the device for sale. But it’s also adding a little surprise for eager customers.

Rogers will be awarding Samsung’s latest smartwatch, the Gear 2 Neo for only CAD$49 / $44 / €32 if you purchase the Galaxy S5 from it.

Of course, this involves you jumping onboard with the carrier for a two-year contract for the Galaxy S5, which will be yours for CAD$249.99 / $229 / €165.

Given the fact that Rogers listed the full price of the Gear 2 Neo as being CAD$219.99 / $202 / €146, you’ll be able to save up a fair amount of money (CAD$177 / $162 / €117 to be precise).

Anyway, if you’re interested in picking up a smartwatch as well, you should know that they are the latest trend in tech today. The Gear 2 Neo has a 1.63-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels and is IP67 certified (meaning it dust and water resistant).

The watch is also equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 LE, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Heart Rate Sensor and a battery capable of getting it through 2-3 days of typical usage on a single charge.
