Samsung Unveils the Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2

On August 7, 2026, Samsung Electronics Japan announced the release of its latest smartwatches, the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 (available in LTE and Bluetooth versions) and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 (LTE version). These new wearables promise to enhance users' health monitoring experiences with personalized insights, making health management easier and smarter.

Samsung Galaxy Watch9 - Your Daily Health Companion

Designed as a daily partner for continuous health management, the Galaxy Watch9 features an innovative air pocket structure for a comfortable fit on the wrist, ensuring it remains secure whether you're exercising or while asleep.

Equipped with the Snapdragon Wear Elite processor and a newly enhanced 390mAh battery, the Galaxy Watch9 boasts processing speeds that are 20% faster than its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch8, allowing for consistent health data tracking throughout the day.

The Galaxy Watch9 comes in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm, providing options to suit different wrist sizes. Key health features are integrated into the device through the Samsung Health platform, which focuses on five core elements: activity, mindfulness, nutrition, sleep, and vital signs. With real-time data visualization, users can quickly assess their health status and manage their wellness effectively.

Enhanced Sleep Insights

The Galaxy Watch9 provides comprehensive data on sleep quality via vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen saturation levels. By continuously monitoring these metrics, the watch helps users recognize health changes. The heart health score integrates activity, sleep, body composition, and stress trends into a single score for easy understanding of cardiovascular health.

Customized Workouts

For fitness enthusiasts, the Galaxy Watch9 tailors workout recommendations based on individual fitness levels. The fitness index evaluates activity levels and recommends setting appropriate fitness goals tailored to individual abilities. It effectively visualizes the day’s aerobic workload to support optimal recovery times post strenuous training.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 - The Ultimate Adventure Companion

The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is engineered for high-performance and rigorous outdoor activities. As the first in the Galaxy series to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform, it delivers superior processing speeds and precision GPS tracking. This model also touts a remarkable 800mAh battery, and an unprecedented 5,000 nits brightness display, ensuring visibility in bright outdoor conditions.

With a meticulous design that integrates the display, bezel, and body seamlessly, the Ultra2 remains comfortable even during extended use. Innovations include a lighter band that encourages optimal fit, making the watch 12% thinner compared to the previous Ultra model.

Real-Time Workout Tracking

The Ultra2 offers advanced tracking capabilities, including real-time information on altitude gain, cumulative ascent and descent distances that help users adjust their pace timely for more efficient workouts. Additionally, the Ultra2 excels in aquatic environments, automatically logging depth, dive time, and water temperature. It meets the EN13319 certification for diving equipment, along with IP69K and 10ATM ratings for ultimate durability.

Through a partnership with the renowned diving equipment brand Mares, a specialized application named Ultra2 Diving is set to transform the Ultra2 into a professional-grade dive computer, facilitating detailed analyses of diving metrics.

Hydration Assistance

The Ultra2 also introduces hydration notifications based on sweat volume, helping users manage hydration during prolonged exercise sessions effectively.

Special Launch Promotions

To celebrate the launch, Samsung is offering a special promotion where customers can purchase selected watch bands at a 30% discount when bought simultaneously with either the Galaxy Watch9 or Ultra2. This offer is valid from August 7 to August 21, 2026.
