Samsung's all set to unveil its first Ultra-branded smartwatch, but we hope the company is also thinking about the best way to reveal the watch's price and some fancy discounts to help prospective customers from having a stroke.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra will be unveiled in Paris next month at Samsung's next Unpacked event. Recently, a rumor suggested the Galaxy Watch Ultra would be priced at around $700 in the US, which would make it considerably costlier than the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
If you were hoping that rumor would turn out to be false, you will be disappointed. European prices for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch 7, and Galaxy Buds 3 have leaked online, and they reveal that the Galaxy Watch Ultra will be just as expensive in Europe.

Listings for Samsung's upcoming wearables have been spotted on various retail websites, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra could cost somewhere between €689-€699. That's not too far off from what the first Apple Watch Ultra retailed for when it launched in 2022.
Getting the best versions of Samsung's upcoming wearables is going to be a costly affair
The Galaxy Watch 7, meanwhile, is listed with a €319 price tag for the 40mm Bluetooth variant and €349 for the 44mm Bluetooth variant. The Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are listed for €229 and €319 respectively.
Now, these listings may have placeholder prices that may not be completely accurate. But with less than a month to go for these products' official launch, those placeholder prices are likely close to the real thing.
In short, you should be ready to dole out some serious cash if you want the best versions of the wearable devices Samsung is launching in July. Even the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to cost $100 more than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and earlier models, so you may want to start saving up.
