Samsung Electronics Japan has officially launched two new smartwatches, the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2, available for purchase starting today, August 7, 2026. Offered through SoftBank's online shop and various physical locations, these smartwatches aim to provide a personalized health management experience, setting a new standard in wearable technology.

Samsung Galaxy Watch9: Your Daily Health Companion

The Samsung Galaxy Watch9 is designed as an everyday health partner. With its innovative air pocket structure, the watch and its band fit comfortably around the wrist, suitable for any occasion from workouts to sleep. Equipped with the Snapdragon Wear Elite and an upgraded 390mAh battery—20% more than its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch8—this watch enhances processing speed and ensures stable health data recording throughout the day.

Key Health Features

Focused on delivering a comprehensive digital health experience, the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 integrates five primary elements: activity, mindfulness, nutrition, sleep, and vital signs, into a singular platform known as Samsung Health. By capturing and visualizing bodily signals, users can promptly assess their health status and manage it effectively day by day. Vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen saturation can be monitored consistently, allowing for personalized benchmarks and real-time health insights.

Insights During Sleep

With the Sleep Insight feature, users can easily view major health metrics during their sleep, helping maintain optimal health through continuous monitoring and personalized feedback. The heart health score creatively synthesizes data on activity, sleep, body composition, and stress trends, providing users a comprehensive understanding of their cardiovascular health.

Tailored Workout Support

For fitness enthusiasts, the watch assesses current activity levels against fitness indices, helping set appropriate exercise goals tailored to individual capabilities. After intense workout sessions, it visualizes aerobic exercise loads to assist users in understanding their training balance and recovery times.

Pushing Limits with Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 targets high-performance athletes and outdoor adventurers seeking durability in a smartwatch. This watch is the first in the Galaxy series to utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform, improving processing power and GPS tracking accuracy.

Outstanding Display and Battery Life

The Ultra2 features an impressive 800mAh battery, which represents a 35% increase compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The watch sports a brilliance of up to 5,000 nits, making it exceptionally visible in bright sunlight—a first for smartwatches globally. Meticulously designed for comfort, it integrates a cushion design that allows for seamless display and body parts while reducing thickness by approximately 12% compared to its predecessor.

Real-time Outdoor Experience

Equipped with advanced functionality, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 delivers crucial information like elevation data and distance during outdoor activities, enabling users to fine-tune their training intensity on-the-go. Enhanced with diving capabilities through a collaborative app developed with Mares, the watch captures critical dive metrics, positioning it as a functional dive computer with certifications necessary for underwater activity.
