Samsung’s next smartwatch series has popped up again in yet another big leak right before the official launch. As WinFuture first reported, the European prices for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 plus the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have now been disclosed, so buyers can get a better feel for what Samsung might charge when it shows off the wearables at its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.
This fresh info points to Samsung planning a small step up in cost across the more premium part of its smartwatch lineup, which is similar to the direction we’ve seen with several of the company’s other upcoming hardware releases this year.
Leaked Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 Pricing Details
Per the report , the Galaxy Watch 9 will come in 40mm and 44mm sizes, and in both Bluetooth-only models and LTE versions too.
The reported European prices look like this:
- Galaxy Watch 9 (40mm Bluetooth): €409
- Galaxy Watch 9 (40mm LTE): €459
- Galaxy Watch 9 (44mm Bluetooth): €439
- Galaxy Watch 9 (44mm LTE): €489
Compared with last year’s Galaxy Watch lineup, these numbers suggest an uplift of around €30–€40 , depending on which configuration you pick.
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might End Up at €749
Samsung’s rugged, premium type wearable is likely to cost a bit more this time, kind of again, slightly. WinFuture says the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Bluetooth model is set to land at €749 in Europe, and yeah that’s a €50 jump compared to what the first Galaxy Watch Ultra went for.
And unlike the regular Watch 9 line, the Ultra 2 is still expected to aim at people who actually go outside a lot, or folks who care about fitness, basically. It should keep using premium materials, stronger build quality, and more serious health tracking functions.
Bluetooth 6.0 and Basically the Same Setup
Pricing isn’t the only thing mentioned. The leak also repeats some hardware points.Per the report, both the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are expected to use Bluetooth 6.0, which should mean better connection stability, reduced lag, and better power efficiency than older generations.
Some earlier leaks also hinted at:
- Samsung’s newest wearable processor
- Wear OS paired with One UI Watch
- More refined health and training monitoring
- Battery life tuning or optimization
- New clock faces, plus a few extra software bits
While Samsung should improve the day to day feel of things, the design itself is probably going to stay pretty recognizable, more like evolution than a total reset.
Launch Expected on July 22
Samsung has already said that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will land on July 22, and it’s expected that during the event the company will show off a few things, like the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 8. Alongside that, expect the Galaxy Watch 9, and also the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, plus some added Galaxy AI capabilities, or maybe even a few tweaks that feel more “smart” on day one.
The smartwatch reveals are also expected to show up next to Samsung’s latest foldable phones, so basically the usual move where Samsung ties wearable momentum into its headline mobile launches.
Slight Price Increase Reflects Broader Industry Trend
If the rumored numbers on price are right, Samsung’s watches could end up tracking the same wider pattern the industry is using, which is small but steady increases for high-end consumer gadgets. Some reports point to rising component expenses, AI-focused hardware upgrades, and inflation as main drivers behind the higher expected retail prices.
At the same time Samsung should try to blunt some of that impact with trade in credits, early launch promotions, and bundle deals in major markets, so shoppers are not only hit with the sticker price.
Conclusion
As WinFuture says, Samsung’s coming Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are likely to show up with a bit higher prices compared to the earlier models. Galaxy Watch 9 may start at €409, while the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could hit €749 for the Bluetooth version. Of course, Samsung still has not confirmed anything officially, but this most recent leak, gives one of the clearest glimpses so far of what people should expect, right before Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22. That’s also when these new wearables are supposed to finally debut, in a more official way.
