I wear my watch nearly constant, and I have concerns of the durability of the watch. Don't get me wrong. I love this watch. I am concerned about getting it wet, scratched, or worse. I didn't really see any info on moisture or water- resistance. I am NOT saying it doesn’t have those protections, I just don't have all of the info, which was not readily identified in the guide.
I replaced a Samsung Classic 4 watch with the Ultra and I love it, Battery life is very good. I can go 2 days on a single charge even with either cycling for 2 1/2 hours or swimming 1 1/2 hours each day. My old 4 watch would have to be recharged daily or twice a day if I was working out. I was worried about the size and thickness of the watch but it's not a problem. After wearing it for about a week I almost don't feel it when it's on my wrist. Sleeping with it is no problem either. I thought I might miss the rotating bezel on the Classic 4 watch but I really have not missed it. The Peakform band works great for swimming or cycling. Of note, you cannot use a flat charging pad with this watch. Due to the way the band is attached it will not lie flat on the charger. I'm sure I could find a curved charger stand but the magnetic "button" charger it comes with works fine. It does have the same minor irritating issue as my old Classic 4 watch of not recognizing that it's on my wrist. I found that "fogging" up the back of the watch with my breath before putting it on seems to solve that issue.
Love the watch - hate the bands that are offered. Not sure why it was designed with ripples which leave indentions on my wrist. All of the bands will do this since the bands all have ripples against the skin.
It is a wonderful upgrade from my previous Galaxy Watch. Plenty of nice features and the look is great. The Galaxy watch helped me in the past and this Ultra is not disappointing. The battery life is awesome. I pretty much wear it all the time and found it very accurate on sleep monitoring. I'm knocking down 1 star because of the following:
1- Despite the watch is capable to do so, related software in the USA does not allow measuring of blood pressure. This is essential in my opinion and a must have. I was very disappointed to learn this feature is not supported in the USA yet.
2- When the night mode is activated, the watch's face light can't be turned on unless night mode is turned off. This is also something needs to be worked on as the face light is mostly needed at night.
3- The watch does not allow customization of the back button on double clicking. I do understand that this is not possible as the button is dedicated to "back" on single click. But how about the settings allow to have the "back" feature on double click so the button will be free to customize on single click? Samsung can have "back" on default single click unless the user chooses to otherwise customize.
I do recommend this watch. It is stylish, durable, and lovely to wear. I wish the blood pressure feature gets activated on ASAP.
