Samsung announces extended software support for its newly announced Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Multiple outlets report that the company is offering five years of Wear OS updates, including five major OS upgrades, which are intended to keep the devices current through software changes over the support period. The updates also include five years of security patches.
The reports add that Samsung ties this support commitment to a timeline through 2031. The watches are described as launching on August 7 with Wear OS 7 and Samsung’s One UI 9 Watch software on top.
One outlet notes that older Samsung Galaxy Watch models previously had promises of four major OS upgrades and four years of security updates, while Samsung’s latest commitment expands that horizon for the Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2. Across the coverage, the key point is that Samsung’s confirmed support policy for these two current models is longer and explicitly includes both OS upgrades and security maintenance.
