Samsung Health gets a major redesign in Galaxy Watches!

After the unveiling of the Galaxy Watch9 and the Watch Ultra2 smartwatches that have been revealed to the public in the Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 event alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8 foldables, Samsung Health has been overhauled on the Galaxy smartwatches, just like the design overhaul on the Galaxy phones.

According to a report made by SammyGuru, Samsung has started rolling out the Samsung Health update that changes the user interface to a more modern interface on the Galaxy smartwatches to match the look and feel of the updated Health app on phones. However, not all features will work as the One UI 9 Watch update didn’t start rolling out yet to all the existing Galaxy smartwatches.

Here’s your first look of the renewed interface for the Galaxy smartwatches:

As a reminder, the following new features are available for the newest smartwatches:

• Vitals: This feature analyzes five important bio-signals, which are: heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen. Those key factors mentioned above are then compared against a baseline that indicates true resting.
• Heart Health Score: This metric, which is updated daily, takes the Vascular Load score and combines it with the body composition data, and gives you a unified score as an output. This output is then used to identify the user’s habit of user’s long-term well-being, which gives you an overall heart health.
• Daily Cardio Load: This feature analyzes your accumulated cardiovascular strain by combining daily load and maximum training capacity and gives you recommendations of optimal training targets and rest times.
• Fitness Index: Ensures exercise routines are working by analyzing metrics, such as: heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps against your peers. It comprises of body composition, strength, flexibility, endurance, and cardio. When those are taken into account, it delivers tailored content and personalized goals so that you can make continuous, targeted improvements.
• Hearing Health: Gives you personalized analytics by measuring the noise surrounding the Galaxy Watch. Those analytics give you recommendations to protect your ears, regardless of whether you’re in a loud, noisy place, such as festivals, or raising the music volume during the workout session.
• Upgraded capabilities: Antioxidant Index now gives you a clearer roadmap of a nutritional intake, with trend charts and daily history logs, and AGEs Index that now works in the background to capture automatic overnight measurements.

Galaxy Watch9 and Watch Ultra2 will get 5 years of OS upgrades!

Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Watch9 and the Watch Ultra2 series, which provide improvements and additions over the previous Galaxy Watch8 and Watch Ultra series. The latest smartwatches provide you with significant performance enhancements while also providing you with access to Gemini on your smartwatch running the latest One UI 9 Watch software.

Samsung has expanded software support for the newest Galaxy smartwatches revealed this year to include five years of OS upgrades, which makes your watch last longer while continuing to get further software updates, including the quarterly security upgrades. As per Sammy Fans, the Galaxy smartwatches will get continuous upgrades until July 31st, 2031.

Previously, Samsung has provided four years of OS upgrades for the older Galaxy Watch series, including the Galaxy Watch8 introduced last year. However, despite the Galaxy Watch4 having already completed its support lifecycle, it has received the One UI 8 Watch update and distributed to all countries last December.

This means that five generations of platform upgrades and five years of quarterly security upgrades will be released to the Galaxy Watch9, Galaxy Watch Ultra2, and future smartwatches, which increases longevity.

The Galaxy Watch9 and Watch Ultra provides Vitals, Heart Health Score, Daily Cardio Load, Fitness Index, and Hearing Health, while providing you with upgraded capabilities. Besides the new features that were introduced, you’ll also be able to experience more reliable health tracking than the previous smartwatches, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon Watch Elite SoC being in use, with AI as the first focus.

Galaxy Watch9 was accidentally mentioned in Canadian Samsung trade-in pages

It looks like that Samsung may have accidentally confirmed that the Galaxy Watch9 exists, because the trade-in offer program for the Galaxy watches in Samsung Canada has listed the upcoming smartwatch series eligible for the trade-in offer. This page is now deleted as of today.

Alongside the Galaxy Watch9, the older Galaxy smartwatches, such as the Galaxy Watch8, Watch7, and Watch6, are also listed as eligible for the trade-in offer. This upcoming smartwatch series is rumored to use the Snapdragon processor built for watches instead of the usual Exynos processor that is used even in the current Galaxy Watch8 series, to increase efficiency and to bring support for 5G.

The smartwatch models have been spotted for several versions (BT and 4G/5G), including the SM-L345U model that was spotted by Mohammed Khatri and the SM-L340 model that we’ve spotted. Earlier, the Galaxy Watch9 and the Galaxy Watch10 were teased during an interview with Choi Jong-min who criticized the Chinese smartwatches, calling them out on their weaknesses.

The following models have been spotted:

• SM-L340: Galaxy Watch9 (40mm, BT)
• SM-L345U: Galaxy Watch9 (40mm, 4G/5G)
• SM-L345N: Galaxy Watch9 (40mm, 4G/5G)
• SM-L350: Galaxy Watch9 (44mm, BT)
• SM-L355U: Galaxy Watch9 (44mm, 4G/5G)
• SM-L355N: Galaxy Watch9 (44mm, 4G/5G)
• SM-L710: Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (47mm, BT)
• SM-L715N: Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (47mm, 4G/5G)

The upcoming Galaxy smartwatches are expected to be unveiled on July 22nd of this year in a Galaxy Unpacked event where London, UK was chosen as the event place.
