Samsung has introduced two new smartwatches in the Philippines: the Galaxy Watch9 for everyday health tracking and the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 for people who enjoy sports, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
Both watches are available for pre-order until Aug. 13. They come with new AI-powered health tools through Samsung Health that help users keep track of their sleep, exercise, heart health, and recovery. Instead of simply counting steps, the watches give tips based on a user’s health data.
Galaxy Watch9
The Galaxy Watch9 is designed for people who want to build healthier daily habits. It can track heart health, fitness level, daily exercise, sleep, and signs of sleep apnea. Samsung said the watch provides personalized advice to help users sleep better, exercise more effectively, and recover after workouts.
The watch is powered by the new Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, which delivers faster performance while using less power. It also has a slimmer design, a brighter display that reaches up to 3,000 nits, and battery life that can last throughout the day.
