The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and the more affordable Galaxy Watch7 will be available for pre-order in Malaysia starting 10 July 2024, with general availability starting 24 July 2024. Unfortunately for the Samsung Galaxy Ring, it will not be coming to Malaysia anytime soon. That isn’t to say that it will never come here but rather, the sale of the ring will be limited to specific markets initially. Hopefully, we’ll get an announcement on it sooner rather than later so stay tuned.

Pokdepinion: I would go for the Ultra just for the bigger battery honestly. Everyone wants a smartwatch that can last as long as possible, and if it can go easily more than a day, even better so we don’t have to charge it so often. Given that it’s so feature-packed however, it might still be a tough challenge.
