“Samsung is committed to helping people live better. We want to make the shift from reactive treatment to proactive care as seamless as possible. By integrating everyday devices with our global scale, we’re building a deeply connected health experience,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President and Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “The new Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 represent a massive leap forward in Samsung’s health vision. By continuously tracking health data from the wrist, these new watches act as a vigilant health companion, turning daily vital signs into proactive, actionable insights and providing timely alerts.”

Galaxy Watch Ultra2: Fueling Ambitions and Enabling Peak Performance Through Unrivaled Hardware and Specialized Sports Tracking

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is Samsung’s most powerful and advanced Galaxy Watch ever. It is built for extreme outdoor adventures and high-performance seekers who demand long-lasting performance, reliable durability, precision tracking and continuous health monitoring in extreme conditions.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2’s dedicated tracking modes for outdoor sports help users excel and safely push their limits. The Trail Run feature tracks detailed elevation, climbing progress and terrain impact so users can better pace themselves and reduce injury risk. It also provides real-time hydration guidance through Nutrition Alert, a new addition to the existing Sweat Loss feature. By estimating sweat loss relative to body weight, it provides guidance on when and how much to hydrate, helping users achieve their running goals.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 also supports professional diving. Rated IP69K, 10 ATM and EN13319 certified, it’s not just dust- and water-resistant—it’s dive-ready. The moment the user enters the water, it can automatically track real-time diving data such as depth, time and water temperature right from their wrist. Moreover, users can access advanced diving features, including ascent/descent speed tracking and safe dive limits, by using the exclusive Ultra2 Diving app expected to be available later this year. Developed with Mares, the world’s leading diving equipment brand, these features significantly enhance the watch’s diving capabilities.

To power these pro-level sports health features, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is built with unprecedented hardware performance. It is equipped with a massive 800 mAh battery—a 35% increase in capacity compared to the previous Ultra model. Powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, it establishes a new benchmark in power, speed and highly accurate GPS tracking for the Ultra line. The expanded display provides the world’s first smartwatch with 5,000 nits of brightness, making crystal-clear visibility possible even under intense sunlight.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 retains its shock-resistant titanium casing while introducing enhanced comfort and stability for a broader range of users. Despite the larger battery, advanced internal engineering reduces the device’s thickness by 12% compared to the previous generation. Combined with lighter, softer bands, the watch delivers improved comfort for continuous wear and more accurate biometric tracking.

Galaxy Watch9: Everyday Wellness With All-Day Comfort and a Lasting Battery

Galaxy Watch9 is designed as an everyday health companion for users who want to build healthier habits through effortless, continuous activity and sleep tracking. It transforms personal health data into actionable insights, helping users better manage their daily routines simply by wearing the device.

To maximize comfort, Galaxy Watch9 features a lightweight yet durable aluminum casing that preserves Samsung’s signature cushion design while providing a closer fit on the wrist. Paired with interchangeable soft-touch bands, the watch is built for continuous day-and-night wear, enabling more consistent health monitoring.

Powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, Galaxy Watch9 delivers improved speed and efficiency for smooth health tracking. It also features a long-lasting battery and a bright display for easier viewing in different lighting conditions.

AI-Powered Health: Comprehensive and Actionable Health Insights

At the heart of Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 are Samsung’s AI-powered health features. The Galaxy Watch BioActive Sensor continuously captures biometric data to better understand a user’s health and lifestyle. The watches then translate this information into proactive recommendations, helping users understand not only what is happening in their bodies but also what steps they can take.

The new capabilities advance Samsung’s preventive healthcare vision by combining everyday health data with years of clinical research conducted alongside leading universities and medical institutions. Together, these features provide meaningful guidance across key areas including sleep, activity, cardiovascular health and recovery.

Among the new health features are enhanced Sleep Apnea detection, Vitals monitoring, Heart Health Score, Daily Cardio Load, Fitness Index and Hearing protection tools, giving users more personalized insights into their overall well-being.

Purpose-Built Band Collections

Samsung also introduced a new range of interchangeable watch bands designed to suit different lifestyles.

For Galaxy Watch Ultra2, users can choose from Marine, PeakForm and Trail bands, each tailored for specific activities including diving, outdoor adventures and everyday wear.

Galaxy Watch9 also receives an expanded lineup of Sports, Misty and Fabric bands, offering greater comfort and style for workouts, daily routines and even sleep.

Samsung Care+

Samsung Care+ provides additional protection for Galaxy Watch users through accidental damage coverage, extended warranty support and access to certified repair services. Users can also conveniently manage their coverage and service options through the Warranty and Care menu on compatible Galaxy smartphones.

Together with the new Galaxy Z series, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 further expand Samsung’s AI ecosystem, bringing connected health experiences across multiple Galaxy devices and helping users manage their wellness more intelligently throughout the day.
