Gurugram, July 24: Samsung has announced that the newest additions its Watch lineup, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 are available for pre–order in India. Both models are designed to support 24/7 wearability and continuous health monitoring. They convert health data into actionable guidance across sleep, activity, cardiovascular health and recovery.
“Our goal is to harness the power of AI to create a future where healthcare is preventive, continuous, and tailored to individual needs. The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 embody this vision, offering advanced health tracking features that act as a reliable companion for users, providing proactive insights and timely alerts to support their health journey,” said Aditya Babbar, Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India
Galaxy Watch Ultra2 targets outdoor athletes
The Galaxy Watch Ultra2, Samsung’s most capable smartwatch to date, is aimed at users who spend significant time outdoors or participate in endurance sports. It combines rugged construction with specialised tracking modes for activities including trail running and diving.
The new Trail Run feature measures elevation, climbing progress and terrain impact to help runners manage their pace. Nutrition Alert, a new addition to the existing Sweat Loss feature, estimates hydration needs by measuring sweat loss relative to body weight.
Galaxy Watch Ultra2 also adds professional diving support. Rated IP69K, 10 ATM and EN13319 certified, the watch automatically records depth, dive time and water temperature when submerged. Through the Ultra2 Diving app (expected to be available later this year), developed with Mares—the world’s leading diving equipment brand—it also provides dive metrics including ascent and descent speed and safe dive time limits.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 features an 800mAh battery, representing a 35% increase in capacity over the previous Ultra model. It is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Elite platform and introduces a display capable of up to 5000 nits of peak brightness for improved visibility outdoors.
The watch retains its shock-resistant titanium construction while introducing a slimmer design; internal re-engineering has reduced thickness by 12% compared with the previous generation despite the larger battery.
Softer, lighter bands are designed to improve comfort during continuous wear. The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 will be available in a 47mm size in Titanium Silver and Titanium Gray.
Galaxy Watch9 focuses on everyday health
The Galaxy Watch9 is designed as Samsung’s everyday smartwatch, with an emphasis on comfort, long battery life and continuous health tracking.
The watch uses an aluminium case while retaining Samsung’s cushion-shaped design. A revised fit and interchangeable soft-touch bands are intended to improve comfort during extended wear.
The Galaxy Watch9 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Elite platform and includes a 390mAh battery in the 40mm variant and a 445mAh in the 44mm variant for day-long operation. Its display reaches up to 3000 nits of brightness, making it easier to view information in bright conditions.
The watch will be available in 40mm and 44mm sizes. The 40mm model comes in Graphite and Cream, while the 44mm version is offered in Graphite and Silver.
AI expands health monitoring
Samsung has added a new generation of AI-powered health features across both watches. Biosensors continuously collect lifestyle and biometric data, while AI models convert that information into practical health guidance.
The new capabilities build on Samsung’s preventive health approach by combining everyday health data with clinical research conducted with world-renowned universities and medical institutions. New features include:
· Vitals, which monitors a user’s health baseline during sleep and alerts them to significant changes.
· Heart Health Score, which provides a cardiovascular wellness score together with personalised lifestyle recommendations.
·Daily Cardio Load, which helps users manage workout intensity and recovery.
·Fitness Index, which offers a broader assessment of physical strength and fitness with personalised goals.
·Hearing, which alerts users to potentially unsafe noise levels and provides hearing reports.
These features are designed to help users better understand their health and make informed decisions based on long-term trends rather than isolated measurements.
New band options
Samsung is also introducing new bands for both watch families.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 receives a dedicated range designed for different outdoor activities:
· Marine Band for water sports and demanding outdoor conditions.
· Peakform Band, a hybrid-material option that balances elegance with athletic performance.
· Trail Band, a breathable fabric band designed for running and other endurance activities.
The Galaxy Watch9 gains a broader range of lifestyle-focused bands:
· Sports Band for everyday fitness and general use.
· Misty Band, made from soft silicone with a two-tone finish.
· Fabric Band, designed for lightweight comfort, including overnight wear.
