[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the original samsung ultra. I wanted something smaller and lighter. The new watch 9 is exactly that. Much faster and definitely lighter. It automatically knows when I'm in the water and does not "Go crazy" with random selections when in the shower etc. I like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Snapdragon chip has made all the changes I've been waiting for. Super fast and smooth. Well worth the upgrade from the Watch8.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received watch 9 and very impressed with the additional health features added. I am looking forward to see some improvement in the battery backup. So far it's good 👍
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a dedicated Galaxy Watch user since the Active 2, upgrading consistently along the way. Now on the Series 9, the Galaxy Watch firmly holds its ground as the gold standard for Android smartwatches. Blending a classic watch aesthetic with cutting-edge features from AI capabilities to comprehensive fitness tracking, it’s the ultimate lifestyle companion tailored perfectly for the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem. As a man in my 30s, prioritizing my health and fitness is key, and this watch delivers. It’s also an absolute lifesaver during my hospital shifts; it keeps me efficiently connected to notifications while I'm actively managing hospital administration systems. The Watch 9 features a new cushion design language, making it remarkably thinner and lighter than previous iterations, with a battery life that easily outpaces the competition. Its water and dust resistance offers great peace of mind, whether I'm powering through a sweaty, high-energy workout or caught in the rain. The AI fitness coach keeps me completely on track to maintain my well-being. Know that the Galaxy Watch 10 is on the horizon next year makes me incredibly excited for what Samsung will bring to us next!
Better functionality and performance than the Watc

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this watch (Galaxy watch 9) because of the extra vital health measurements, but was pleasantly surprised by the better performance. Glad I bought it. I wasn't sure about the switch to the fabric band, but like that too! It's a little louder to take off, but Samsung can't change physics....definitely more comfortable to sleep in.
