Samsung is teasing significant upgrades for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 9, positioning it as an "AI-powered health companion." The device is highlighted as a health-first, always-on gateway, offering new insights into heart health, "all-new internal components," and enhanced battery life.

Samsung confirmed its Galaxy Unpacked event will occur on July 22 in London, U.K. The teasers emphasize AI integration for "meaningfully integrated into everyday life," promising true support for users. A teaser video showcases an electrocardiogram, and the company promises "increased accuracy" for its health metrics, benefiting both heart analytics and activity tracking such as rest, movement, and sleep, with enhanced "AI-driven insights."

Further details revealed by enhancing an image suggest a titanium build, a "personal health coach," and Gemini raise-to-talk functionality. The Galaxy Watch 9 will also feature Vitals, a metric combining heart rate, variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen, to improve daily energy scores. A "Heart Health Score" will also be introduced, analyzing sleep, stress, activity, and body composition. Reservations have begun for the new devices.
