Ahead of its debut barely a week from now, Samsung is officially teasing the Galaxy Watch 9 with its returning circle-on-a-square design, new health insights, and an “all-new inside.”

In a trio of videos posted on its newsroom, Samsung teases its next Galaxy Watch as a “health-first, always-on gateway for advanced, personalized AI.” This is referring to the Galaxy Watch 9, but Samsung is also preparing to launch a new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 on July 22.

The first teaser simply shows heart rate tracking before jumping over to a circular design that says “Coming soon to your wrist” before the squircle chassis of the Galaxy Watch 9 shows up.

A second teaser is all about activity tracking, where Samsung says that “all-new internal components and enhanced battery life” improve the tracking experience.

We’ve edited the two together for easy viewing.

The last teaser is the most descriptive of the bunch, with a lengthy paragraph – that repeats over and over again – describing basically everything new on the smartwatch refresh. The highlights here include:

Titanium build
Longer battery life
“Brand-new processor”
“Personal health coach”
Gemini raise-to-talk

That “brand-new processor” is referring to Snapdragon Wear Elite, making this Samsung’s first Galaxy Watch release using a Snapdragon chip in place of Exynos. There are also some Samsung Health features mentioned here, such as calorie tracking and various health tracking metrics pulled from the Watch’s data.
