"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
The new 47 mm Galaxy Watch Ultra2 in Titanium Gray.
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 exclusive Trail Run[3] 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[4], 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 provides detailed trail running data on its 5,000-nit, crystal-clear display
Galaxy Watch Ultra2 also supports professional diving. Rated IP69K, 10 ATM and EN13319 certified[5], 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 [6], by using the exclusive Ultra2 Diving app expected to be available later this year. Developed with Mares[7], the world’s leading diving equipment brand, these features significantly enhance the watch's diving capabilities.
Once a user enters the water, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 automatically tracks real-time diving data such as depth, time and water temperature.
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,[8] making crystal-clear visibility possible even under intense sunlight.
Galaxy Watch Ultra2 retains its shock-resistant titanium casing to help ensure rugged durability, while also introducing enhanced comfort and stability for a broader, more diverse range of users. Despite a significantly larger battery, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 achieves an innovative slimmer design[9] that transitions seamlessly from rugged outdoor and sports activities to everyday lifestyle use. Advanced internal re-engineering significantly reduces the device’s thickness by 12% compared to the previous generation. Coupled with lighter and softer bands that reduce weight, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 delivers 24/7 wearability, highly precise biometric data tracking and exceptional comfort.
Galaxy Watch9: Everyday Wellness with All-Day Comfort and a Lasting Battery
Once a user enters the water, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 automatically tracks real-time diving data such as depth, time and water temperature.
Galaxy Watch9 is the ultimate everyday health companion, designed for wellness-conscious users who want to build healthier habits through effortless, continuous activity and sleep tracking. By simply wearing it, this versatile watch turns personal biomarkers into actionable health insights, empowering users to effortlessly manage their daily routines
To maximize its role as a health companion, Galaxy Watch9 is backed by powerful hardware and an incredibly comfortable design. It features a lightweight yet durable aluminum casing that preserves Galaxy Watch’s signature cushion silhouette, refined specifically for a closer, more natural fit on the wrist. Combined with a wide range of interchangeable, soft-touch bands, Galaxy Watch9 helps ensure unmatched all-day comfort — enabling the continuous, 24/7 wear required to capture accurate and consistent health data.
This exceptional wearability is powered by next-generation internal innovations. The new Snapdragon Wear Elite platform gives Galaxy Watch9 a massive boost in speed and efficiency for lag-free, seamless health monitoring. Its efficient 390 mAh battery[10] delivers dependable, around-the-clock tracking from day to night. Furthermore, a brilliant 3,000-nit display supports effortless readability and crystal-clear visibility under any lighting condition, making it easy for users to check their health status at a glance.
AI-Powered Health: Comprehensive and Actionable Health Insights
At the core of Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 is Samsung’s AI-powered health features. Galaxy Watch’s BioActive sensor captures continuous biometric data about a user’s lifestyle habits to develop a deep understanding of their health. Galaxy Watch then translates this complex biometric data into simple, proactive recommendations, helping users understand not just what is happening in their bodies, but what to do next.
The new capabilities — available on both Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 — advance Samsung’s preventive care vision by combining everyday data with years of rigorous clinical research conducted with world-renowned universities and medical institutions. Built on this foundation, Galaxy Watch is designed to deliver more accurate and meaningful health guidance across key pillars including sleep, activity, cardiovascular health and recovery.
- Sleep Apnea feature[11]: Backed by new FDA clearance and AI algorithms, delivers deeper insights into breathing disruptions during sleep.
- Vitals[12]: Proactively monitor a user’s personal health baseline during sleep and provides seamless alerts for significant deviations.
- Heart Health Score[13]: Provides an effortless understanding of cardiovascular wellness through a simple, actionable score and personalized lifestyle recommendations.
- Daily Cardio Load[14]: Optimizes training through tailored guidance on workout volume and estimated recovery needs.
- Fitness Index[15]: Delivers a holistic view of your physical fitness with personalized goals to improve everyday performance.
- Hearing[16]: Protects your long-term hearing health with alerts for unsafe noise levels and detailed reports.
With these features, users can gain access to intelligent, personalized insights that empower them to seamlessly manage their long-term wellness journey and reach their goals.
Galaxy Watch features include Vitals to alert users to significant health deviations
