At the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event in London, England, at 8 p.m. Thailand time, Samsung launched its top-tier rugged smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, reinforcing its leadership in the outdoor and extreme sports smartwatch market. This return addresses the bulkiness issues of the first model, offering fully upgraded specs that truly meet hardcore usage demands.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 retains its robust identity with a 47mm titanium case, impressively engineered to reduce thickness by 12% compared to its predecessor, making it much more comfortable to wear.
The Super AMOLED display has been significantly upgraded to a record-breaking peak brightness of 5,000 nits, making it easy to view even under bright midday sunlight, ideal for checking maps or data during activities.
Performance is fully optimized for extreme sports enthusiasts and divers alike. Like the Watch 9, the Ultra 2 runs on the Snapdragon Wear Elite processor with 2GB RAM, but surpasses it with 64GB storage and dual-band GPS for high accuracy in complex signal areas such as dense forests or valleys. Notable new features include Trail Run for analyzing trail running routes and Nutrition Alert, which calculates sweat loss and reminds users to hydrate appropriately.
A key highlight is the enhanced diving capabilities, featuring 10ATM/IP69K water resistance and EN13319 certification. The watch can automatically detect dives and record data such as depth, duration, and temperature, with support for a special Mares application launching later this year.
The standout feature for adventurers is the 800 mAh battery, 35% larger than the previous model despite the slimmer case. This upgrade caters to users needing extended multi-day activity without frequent recharging concerns.
The 47mm Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (4G LTE) is priced starting at 25,900 baht, with pre-orders open from 22 July to 13 August 2026.
