Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Watch9 series alongside new folding phones on July 22, according to a rumored event date. The company has not confirmed how many smartwatch models it will release at this gathering. Leaked model codes from a Chinese certification database point to two distinct devices entering production.
Leaked model codes and charging specs reveal details about the upcoming wearable lineup
The Galaxy Watch9 and a potential successor to the Ultra line appear in the 3C certification records under model numbers SM-L3550 and SM-L7150. Industry analysts currently associate SM-L3550 with the standard Galaxy Watch9. They link SM-L7150 to the upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
Both certified devices support 10W charging speeds. This matches the charging capability of the current Galaxy Watch8 series and does not represent an upgrade for battery replenishment times. Full hardware specifications remain unconfirmed at this stage.
The new wearables will launch with a recently updated Samsung Health application. The app organizes user data into five main sections: Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Vitals. A new Vitals metric tracks overnight bio-signals like heart rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen to detect variations from resting baselines.
The software update introduces additional analytical tools for health monitoring. Users can now view a Heart Health Score derived from body composition data. The app also features Daily Cardio Load tracking and a Hearing Health feature that monitors ambient noise exposure levels.
Samsung has not released official pricing or availability details beyond the rumored July 22 event date. The company typically unveils its new smartwatches during the same launch window as its latest foldable smartphones. The standard Galaxy Watch9 is expected to maintain a price point similar to its predecessor, though official details remain unconfirmed.
