Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and Ultra2 Launch

On August 7, 2026, Samsung Electronics Japan officially launched two new smartwatches: the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2. These devices, available at Docomo shops and online, signify a major step forward in personal health management. Both models are designed to offer users tailored health insights and reliance on advanced technology for superior everyday functionality.

Samsung Galaxy Watch9: Everyday Health Companion

The Samsung Galaxy Watch9 has been crafted to support daily health monitoring. It features a new air pocket structure that ensures a firm fit on the wrist, making it comfortable to wear throughout daily activities and even during sleep. With the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform and an enhanced 390mAh battery—20% bigger than the previous Galaxy Watch8—this smartwatch combines powerful processing capabilities with reliable health data tracking.

Design and Health Features

Available in both 40mm and 44mm sizes, the Galaxy Watch9 integrates five essential elements of digital health through Samsung Health, which serves as an all-in-one health coach, encapsulating activity tracking, mindfulness, nutrition, sleep, and vital statistics. This comprehensive approach allows users to visualize their health signals clearly and make informed adjustments in their daily lives.

Among the standout functionalities, sleep insights provide vital sign tracking, including heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, enabling users to monitor their health status comprehensively. Additionally, the heart health score feature combines multiple aspects—activity levels, sleep patterns, body composition, and stress—into a single metric, clearly presenting cardiovascular health status.

Workout Support

For fitness enthusiasts, the Galaxy Watch9 evaluates the user's fitness level and tailors workout suggestions. By assessing body composition and exercise history, it helps set individual health targets. The watch also monitors daily workout loads and offers insights on cardio exertion alongside recovery times, ensuring optimal training outcomes.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2: Performance Meets Adventure

Designed for high-intensity sports and outdoor activities, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 delivers top-tier performance combined with exceptional durability. For the first time in Samsung's series, it utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon® Wear Elite Platform, accessing rapid processing and precise GPS tracking capabilities. Its battery capacity, rated at 800mAh, is 35% larger than its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, while its display boasts a remarkable brightness of 5000 nits, ensuring clarity in bright outdoor environments.

Innovative Design Features

The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 emphasizes a seamless design with a cushion structure that integrates the display, bezel, and body for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear. Notably, it is thinner by 12% compared to previous models while maintaining a lighter build with the new air pocket band structure.

Unique features, tailored for adventure, include real-time elevation data and progress tracking for uphill journeys, allowing precise control over workout intensity and pace. Notably, with an IP69K and 10ATM rating, the watch is built for water activities, including automatic logging of underwater metrics.

The Ultimate Diving Companion

In collaboration with Mares, a prominent diving equipment brand, the Ultra2 allows divers to transform their watch into a professional dive computer with the Ultra2 Diving app. This innovative tool provides advanced metrics, aiding serious diving expeditions and enhancing safety.

During workouts, features now include hydration reminders based on sweat levels, ensuring users can maintain proper hydration over extensive exercise sessions.

To celebrate this launch, Samsung is running a promotional event where customers purchasing the Galaxy Watch9 or Ultra2 from Docomo shops can receive a discount coupon for watch bands. The campaign runs from August 7 to August 23, 2026, promoting accessibility to Samsung's health-centric technology.
