Galaxy Watch 9 price leaks bring slightly disappointing news for anyone saving up to buy Samsung's new watch. Galaxy Watch 9 plus Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 haven't reached market yet, but their European pricing has already slipped out. Those numbers say you'll be pulling more money from your pocket this time around.
This report comes from Germany's Winfuture, a name known as quite reliable in leak territory. They claim these are final prices. Official unveiling happens Wednesday, July 22, at Galaxy Unpacked. Interestingly, Galaxy Z Fold 8 series pricing leaked earlier too, telling same story there, every model costs more. Meaning Samsung is walking a price-hike path across its whole lineup this time.
Now to numbers. All four Galaxy Watch 9 versions arrive €30 euros above their predecessors. Cheapest model, meaning that 40 millimeter Bluetooth version, will sell at €409 euros. Wanting an LTE modem costs 50 euros extra, while a bigger 44 millimeter case adds another 30. Full breakdown works out like this: 40 millimeter Bluetooth at €409 euros, 40 millimeter LTE at €459 euros, 44 millimeter Bluetooth at €439 euros, top 44 millimeter LTE at €489 euros.
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 delivers a bigger blow. Its price lands at €749 euros, €50 euros above previous Ultra. One more thing: this watch comes only in an LTE version, no cheaper Bluetooth option exists.

So what does extra money actually buy? According to leaked details, Watch 9 design sees no major change. Ultra 2 shows one new element though, a freshly marked bezel, believed to possibly rotate. Inside news sounds quite promising however. Both watches are expected to carry far larger batteries, alongside Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. Oldest complaint about smartwatches has always been battery, so improvement there makes swallowing higher prices somewhat easier.
Where does this leave an ordinary buyer? If bigger batteries plus that new chip genuinely change daily use, accepting 30 extra euros feels fair. But anyone holding a Watch 8 has no rush to switch, since looks stay nearly identical. Older models dropping in price after launch could turn into a nice opportunity instead.
Final word: these remain leaks; nothing has come from Samsung's mouth. Everything clears up at that July 22 event. Until then, treating these prices as near-certain seems safe, because Winfuture's past leaks have rarely missed.
