Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Watch9 Launch with AI Health Tracking

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9, its most sophisticated smartwatches to date, alongside a trio of new folding phones. The Watch Ultra2 targets the sport watch sector with multi-activity tracking, including professional dive tracking developed with Mares, a Trail Run feature with elevation and terrain impact data, and a Nutrition Alert system. It has a 47mm case, 800 mAh battery (35% larger than predecessor), Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, brighter screen, and more accurate GPS. The Watch9 is a sleeker everyday device focusing on health habits, with aluminum detailing, 40mm and 44mm cases, 390 mAh battery (up to 40 hours), and no numbered bezel. Both share a BioActive sensor for health data analysis, described as a 'gateway to AI-driven health intelligence.' Samsung expanded its smartwatch band collection in silicone, hybrid, and fabric. The Ultra2 offers 60 hours of battery life. Strava and iFIT trials are included. Jonathan Bell reported for Wallpaper*.
