It's designed for activities like trail running and diving, and features a durable build. It incorporates the new Snapdragon Wear Elite platform , which improves GPS performance and accuracy. In addition, Samsung has worked to reduce its thickness for greater comfort during everyday wear.
Galaxy Watch 9: health and well-being in everyday life
The Galaxy Watch 9 is presented as the perfect companion for those who want constant monitoring of their health. It includes advanced sleep tracking features powered by artificial intelligence, as well as detailed monitoring of heart rate, stress, and recovery. All of this comes with a high-brightness display and a battery that offers improved autonomy compared to the previous generation.
Artificial intelligence and the Galaxy ecosystem
Both watches share the same BioActive sensor and use Samsung's AI to convert biometric data into personalized recommendations. They integrate with the new Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Flip8 foldable phones, as well as the first Galaxy smart glasses, creating a connected ecosystem that offers a more complete experience.
Prices and availability in Spain
The new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9 will be available in Spain starting August 7th . Samsung has announced pre-order promotions and benefits for Galaxy ecosystem users, including discounts and additional perks for those upgrading their device.
