Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in London is now less than 24 hours away. The event starts July 22 at 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST, and thanks to months of leaks, the full wearable lineup is effectively confirmed. Here is the final rundown of every wearable launching tomorrow.

Galaxy Glasses: Samsung's Smart Eyewear Debut

  • Price: $379–$499
  • Camera: 12MP Sony IMX681 with autofocus
  • Chip: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1
  • Software: Android XR with Gemini AI as the primary interface
  • Audio: Bone-conduction speakers, directional microphones
  • Frames: Gentle Monster and Warby Parker partnerships
  • Weight: ~50 grams
  • Display: None (audio-first; display model planned for 2027)

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2: Sensor Powerhouse

  • Price: $699
  • Battery: 800mAh (35% larger than original Ultra)
  • Display: 480 × 480 px, 5,000-nit peak brightness
  • Chip: Snapdragon Wear Elite (3nm) — first non-Exynos Galaxy Watch
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 6.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, 5G RedCap (US and South Korea)
  • Durability: IP69K rated
  • Experimental sensors: AGEs, antioxidant levels, vascular load

Galaxy Watch 9: Snapdragon Comes to Standard

  • Battery: 382mAh (40mm, up 23%) / 445mAh (44mm)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 6.0, ultra-wideband

Pre-Order Strategy

Reservations are still open at Samsung.com for a $30 credit with no obligation. Pre-orders open immediately after the keynote. Shipping begins August 6. If you reserved, the $30 credit applies automatically when you complete your order.

What This Means for Buyers

Tomorrow is decision day. If you are an Android and Galaxy ecosystem user, the Galaxy Glasses at $379 are a direct Meta Ray-Ban alternative with deeper Google integration. The Watch Ultra 2 at $699 is the most sensor-dense smartwatch ever made — but "experimental" sensors mean limited clinical validation. The Watch 9 at $349 offers the same Snapdragon chip in a lighter, cheaper package. If you are not in a rush, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 arrives in September with its own blood pressure feature.
