Samsung Electronics Indonesia has officially launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9, introducing substantial upgrades in battery capacity, processing performance, and artificial intelligence-driven health monitoring features as part of its latest smartwatch refresh cycle, according to company disclosures.
Design and Battery Enhancements in the New Samsung Smartwatches
The newly unveiled wearable lineup features noticeable physical refinements designed to improve daily wearability without sacrificing power durability. According to Ilham Indrawan, Head of MX Product Marketing Senior Manager at Samsung Electronics Indonesia, the devices offer a significantly slimmer profile while housing a much larger energy source.
“Kalau teman-teman yang sudah menggunakan Watch Ultra kemarin, sekarang rasanya jauh lebih ringan. Secara desain, secara ketebalan hanya 12 persen lebih dibandingkan generasi sebelumnya,” ujar Ilham Indrawan di Jakarta. He noted that the new design is 12 percent thinner than the previous generation, making it feel much lighter on the wrist. Despite the reduced thickness, Samsung managed to pack a significantly larger power reservoir into the chassis. “Jadi lebih ringan, tapi kapasitas baterainya bahkan kita berikan lebih besar lagi, sampai dengan 35 persen lebih besar dibandingkan generasi sebelumnya,” according to Ilham Indrawan, who confirmed a battery capacity increase of up to 35 percent compared to older models.
Processor Performance and Enhanced GPS Tracking Capabilities
Beyond physical design adjustments, Samsung has integrated advanced hardware architecture to boost overall processing speed and location-tracking precision. The company has incorporated the Snapdragon Wear Elite chipset into both the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9 models, according to Ilham Indrawan.
This new silicon integration directly improves device responsiveness and location accuracy, which is especially critical during outdoor fitness routines such as trail running. According to Ilham Indrawan, the performance boost ensures that users receive precise positional data even in demanding environments. Furthermore, the devices now support GPX file uploads. This functionality allows users to view pre-mapped routes and elevation profiles directly on the watch face, even when operating in areas with limited cellular network coverage.
