Reliable leaker Billbil-kun has published the final European pricing for Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 ahead of their July 22 Unpacked debut, confirming another round of price increases across the lineup.

Why Prices Are Rising

The €30 hike on the base Galaxy Watch 9 mirrors the industry-wide trend driven by rising DRAM costs, which has also pushed up pricing on the Pixel Watch 5 and other 2026 wearables. The Watch Ultra 2 is expected to run Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, while the standard Watch 9 continues with an Exynos processor.

Pre-orders open July 22 at 3 PM CEST, immediately following Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in London. Devices are expected to begin shipping on August 6.
