Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Galaxy Watch 9 if you have a Galaxy phone and want the newest Wear OS watch with the longest software support: Samsung lists it at $379.99 for 40mm and $409.99 for 44mm, plus $50 for LTE (Oct 8, 2026). Reviewers liked its accurate workout GPS, health insights and bright screen. Skip it if battery matters, because reviewers found it lasts about a day and charges slowly, and the $299.99 Watch 8 looks and lasts much the same. It doesn't work with iPhones, and some health features need a Galaxy phone.
