Samsung Unveils Galaxy Watch Ultra2 in Kenya with AI-Powered Health Tracking

Samsung Electronics East Africa has introduced its latest smartwatch lineup, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 ushering in a new era of intelligent health tracking designed to seamlessly fit into the everyday lives of Kenyan consumers.

The new wearables combine advanced wellness capabilities with rugged durability and sleek design, offering users deeper insights into their physical and mental well-being simply by wearing them. With the largest battery and brightest display ever seen on a Galaxy Watch, alongside the powerful Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform, the devices are built for round-the-clock wearability.

Manish Jangra, Head of Mobile Experience at Samsung Electronics East Africa, emphasised the company’s dedication to the region’s tech-savvy consumers. “At Samsung, our priority is to build technology that seamlessly adapts to the active lifestyles of our consumers across East Africa,” said Jangra.

“The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 combine advanced wellness intelligence with rugged durability and effortless style. Whether you are running on the track, tracking your sleep, or managing a full day at the office, these devices act as the ultimate life companions. We are ensuring our Kenyan customers enjoy complete peace of mind wherever their journeys take them.”

At the core of the new smartwatch experience is the revamped Samsung Health app, now equipped with AI-driven capabilities that transform raw biometric data into personalised, actionable guidance. By continuously synthesising information captured by the watches, the app delivers tailored insights into daily physical performance, sleep quality, and recovery.

Advanced AI algorithms embedded within the Samsung Health interface provide users with predictive recommendations, helping them better understand their body’s readiness for the day. This makes health tracking more intuitive and personalised than ever before.

The Galaxy Watch9 features significant battery upgrades, with the 40mm variant housing a 390mAh battery and the 44mm variant equipped with a 445mAh battery ensuring extended usage between charges.

Under the hood, both smartwatches are powered by the new 3nm Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, which brings dedicated on-device AI capabilities for faster processing and improved energy efficiency. The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 takes durability and endurance a step further with an upgraded 800mAh battery and an IP69K-rated titanium build, designed to withstand extreme conditions.

On the wellness front, Samsung Health introduces several intelligent features, including: Energy Score – Helps users gauge their daily readiness. Daily Cardio Load – Optimizes workout intensity and recovery. Updated Vitals feature – Tracks overnight bio-signals against baseline rest for proactive health management.

For users running One UI 9 on their Galaxy smartphones, managing device health is now easier than ever. The new Warranty and Care menu, accessible directly from the settings hub, provides real-time self-diagnostics and instant warranty status checks.

To support fitness enthusiasts, both smartwatches come with a complimentary 60-day free trial to Strava. This allows Kenyan runners to tap into a global fitness network of over 195 million active members logging performance data, exploring popular local running trails, and sharing achievements directly from their wrist by selecting the Samsung offer in the Strava app settings.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 also expand Samsung’s connected AI ecosystem in East Africa, operating seamlessly alongside the broader Galaxy series across work, fitness, and home environments.
