Summary

  • Samsung’s next smartwatches are tipped to cost about 10% more in Europe, with Galaxy Watch 9 models rising by €30 to €50 and the Watch Ultra 2 LTE listed at €749.
  • Germany-based pricing from WinFuture puts the Galaxy Watch 9 40mm Bluetooth at €409, the 40mm LTE at €459, the 44mm Bluetooth at €439, and the 44mm LTE at €489.
  • The increases suggest Samsung is betting buyers will accept higher prices for improved features and performance, though the report says U.S. pricing cannot be directly inferred from the euro figures.
  • Samsung is also expected to lift prices on some foldables, and the company may have to justify the broader increases at its July 22 Unpacked event.
