Summary
Australia sales opened on Aug. 14 for Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9, with the lineup split between a rugged A$1,299 flagship and a lighter mainstream model starting at A$649.
Both watches share the same Qualcomm SDW6100 chip, BioActive sensor array and headline health features, making durability, battery life and display brightness—not health tracking—the main reason to pay A$650 more for the Ultra2.
The Ultra2 offers a 47mm titanium case, 5,000-nit display, 60-hour battery and EN13319 dive certification, while the aluminum Watch9 delivers up to 30 hours in 40mm and 44mm versions.
Samsung’s launch promotion runs through Sept. 9, adding up to A$210 in trade-in credit, A$100 in add-ons credit for the Ultra2 or A$50 for the Watch9, plus a bonus band with code LS-GETBAND.
The new watches are Android-only—requiring Android 13 or higher—and Samsung is keeping the older Galaxy Watch8 Classic in the range at A$899 for buyers who prefer its design.
