Overview
- The reported price list, published Monday by WinFuture and shared by multiple outlets, shows increases of about €30–€50 versus last year across Watch 9 40mm/44mm Bluetooth and LTE models and the Watch Ultra 2.
- Example figures from the leak include the Galaxy Watch 9 40mm BT at €409, 40mm LTE at €459, 44mm BT at €439, 44mm LTE at €489, and the Watch Ultra 2 LTE at €749.
- Samsung has not confirmed these prices or explanations for the rises, and outlets say the company will likely provide official details at its July 22 Unpacked event in London.
- Some analysts and reports link the increases to higher component costs, notably greater demand for memory chips driven by AI workloads, though that causal link remains speculative.
- The leaked euro prices originate in Germany and may not map directly to U.S. retail prices, but outlets expect roughly similar absolute increases for U.S. models, which would raise costs for buyers and trade-in choices.
