First Look at Samsung's $380 Galaxy Watch 9

This is the Galaxy Watch 9. From the outside it looks almost identical to the Galaxy Watch 8, but what you need to know is that it's been re-engineered from the inside out so it has a much bigger battery and it also runs on the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. The watch has three different bands that you can choose from. It comes with this kind of sport strap here. There's also a soft touch silicone band that is kind of more stylish and comes in a variety of colors including pale blue and green. One kind of neat feature about this watch is if you choose a photo to put on screen, as I've done here, it will actually move the numbers around to fit around whatever photo you've chosen, so that doesn't overlap with, for example, my cat's beautiful face. One new feature that I am particularly interested in this fitness index right here. And this is great if you're just kind of like trying to understand where your body is currently at, because it doesn't just look at things like your height and your weight. It can take into account, like, you know, your entire body composition. And as you can see here, if you were like to run triathlon, I would not participate in a triathlon, but if you'd kind of like choose, you can choose that to be your focus and it will give you exercise goals and tips, will help you reach the required fitness to partake in such a sadistic mission. This watch is less for ultramarathon runners, people who are already super, super into sports, and it's more for people who are kind of starting out their fitness journey, want to understand things like body composition, beginner fitness stats, how they're sleeping, all of those kinds of things that you might want to think about if you're getting fitness for the first time.
