Samsung has launched the Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 in India alongside its latest foldable smartphones. The new smartwatches bring improved performance, brighter displays, AI-powered health features, and longer battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2
The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is designed for users who enjoy outdoor activities and fitness tracking. It comes with a rugged titanium case, a brighter display, and a larger battery than its predecessor.
Samsung says the smartwatch features its biggest battery yet at 800mAh, which is 35% larger than the original Galaxy Watch Ultra. It also has a 1.52-inch Super AMOLED display with up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness for better outdoor visibility.
The watch introduces a new Trail Run mode that tracks elevation, climbing progress, and terrain impact. It also gets a Nutrition Alert feature that estimates sweat loss during workouts and provides hydration guidance.
For divers, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 comes with IP69K, 10ATM, and EN13319 certifications. It can automatically track dive depth, duration, and water temperature. Samsung says more diving features will be added later this year through the Ultra2 Diving app developed with Mares.
