Unveiling the New Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and Ultra2: Your Health Companions

Samsung has officially launched two groundbreaking smartwatches, Samsung Galaxy Watch9 (available in LTE and Bluetooth models) and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 (LTE), on August 7, 2026. These devices are now available at selected au +1 collection retailers and the au Online Shop. With these new models, Samsung aims to redefine personal health monitoring while enhancing user experience through cutting-edge technology.

Samsung Galaxy Watch9: Daily Health Partner

Designed to be a consistent health companion, the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 features an innovative air pocket structure that ensures a snug fit on the wrist, making it comfortable for users throughout the day, whether working out or sleeping. Powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, it boasts a powerful 390mAh battery—20% more than its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch8—offering improved processing and reliable health data tracking.

Available in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm, the Galaxy Watch9 serves as an all-in-one health coach through its Samsung Health platform. This tool integrates five essential health elements—activity, mindfulness, nutrition, sleep, and vital signs—helping users better understand their health through easily visualized signals from their bodies.

Sleep Insights

During sleep, the device tracks key health metrics, displaying vital signs such as heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen saturation. This individualized monitoring builds a personalized baseline for users, allowing them to recognize changes in their health status more promptly. Additionally, the heart health score integrates data from activity, sleep, body composition, and stress trends into a single metric for easy assessment of cardiovascular health.

Fitness Support

Tailored workouts are another highlight, as the watch offers optimal training suggestions based on the user’s fitness level. The fitness index evaluates the user’s physical condition by analyzing body composition and exercise history, helping set achievable goals. It also visualizes aerobic exercise load on days of intense training, easing the understanding of recovery needs.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2: Adventure-Ready

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is designed for top-tier performance and durability, optimized for high-intensity sports and outdoor activities. This smartwatch, featuring the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform as well—promises fast processing and precise GPS tracking, with an impressive 800mAh battery that is 35% larger than the previous Ultra model.

Enhanced Display

Users will appreciate the Ultra2’s maximum brightness of 5,000 nits, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight. The watch is not only sleek with its new cushion design—integrating the display, bezel, and body seamlessly—but it also marks a 12% reduction in thickness compared to earlier models. The lightweight band, utilizing the air pocket design, is 26% lighter than prior versions, improving overall comfort and fit.

Real-Time Tracking for Adventurers

This model introduces real-time tracking features, providing precise elevation data, ascent progress, and cumulative elevation gain/loss. This helps users manage their training intensity effectively. The Ultra2 excels in water performance too, automatically recording depth, dive time, and water temperature, and it meets various standards including EN13319 for diving gear.

Users can also benefit from a joint application developed with the renowned diving brand, Mares, turning the Ultra2 into a professional-grade dive computer, capable of providing detailed ascent/descent rates and safe diving times.

Hydration Tracking

Additionally, the Ultra2 integrates a new hydration notification feature during workouts, calculating recommended fluid intake in real-time based on sweat levels to ensure optimal hydration throughout extended exercise sessions.

The Perfect Combination

By leveraging the unique strengths of the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 for daily health management and the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 for extreme fitness adventures, Samsung's next-generation smartwatch series offers users a smart, personalized health experience designed for all lifestyles.

Upcoming Promotions
