Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2

The Samsung 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.

The 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 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
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.

Samsung Galaxy Watch9

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. This
versatile watch turns personal biomarkers into actionable health insights, empowering users to
effortlessly manage their daily routines by simply wearing it.

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 help 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 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 are 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.

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.
