Samsung Guarantees 5 Years of Galaxy Watch 9 Support Through 2031

Summary
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 are slated to receive guaranteed software and security updates through 2031, giving the new lineup a full five-year support window.
That written guarantee stands out because Google advertises only three years for its watches, while Apple typically delivers roughly three to six years but does not formally guarantee it.
Older Samsung models do not match the new policy: Galaxy Watch 8 and the first Ultra are set for four years of support instead of five.
Price sharpens the comparison, with the Galaxy Watch 9 starting at $380 versus Apple Watch Series 11 at $400, as rising component costs make longer support a bigger selling point.
