Samsung’s smartwatch lineup just got its biggest refresh in years. Alongside its new foldables, the company unveiled the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9 series in India, bringing Gemini AI to a Samsung wearable for the first time.
What’s New This Generation
Launched at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is being positioned as the company’s “most powerful and advanced Galaxy Watch ever,” while the Galaxy Watch 9 is billed as “the ultimate everyday health companion,” according to Digit’s official launch coverage.
Both watches run on One UI Watch with Wear OS, and reportedly mark Samsung’s first integration of Google’s Gemini AI directly into a smartwatch, enabling smarter health insights and voice-driven features right from the wrist.
India Pricing Breakdown

| Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 | LTE (single config) | 64,999 |
| Galaxy Watch 9 (40mm) | Bluetooth | 37,999 |

How It Compares to the Competition
Samsung’s ₹64,999 price tag for the Watch Ultra 2 undercuts the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which retails above ₹89,000 in India, giving Samsung a meaningful pricing edge in the premium rugged-smartwatch segment, as highlighted by The Mobile Times. That positions it alongside rivals like the Garmin Fenix 8 Solar and Google’s Pixel Watch 3 Pro, but at a noticeably friendlier price than Apple’s rugged flagship.
The Watch Ultra 2’s rumored upgrades include a refined titanium case, an expanded sensor cluster for advanced sleep and health tracking, and a bigger battery — a meaningful step up for outdoor and fitness-focused users.

Which One Should You Buy?
For everyday fitness tracking and health monitoring, the Galaxy Watch 9 offers strong value starting under ₹38,000. But if you want Samsung’s most rugged, feature-packed wearable yet — and don’t mind paying a premium — the Watch Ultra 2 is the clear pick this generation.
