It's my first smart watch from the Samsung brand I buy. I am satisfied with my team. The only thing is that it has very intrinsic applications from its operating system and they do not work with other Android systems.
Just upgraded from my Samsung Watch 5 to the Ultra. In some ways it's not much better, and in other ways the 5 is better. I have three main reasons for getting a smart watch: basic time features (clock, alarms, timer, stopwatch), notifications (like text messages and emails), and basic health sensors (like step count and heart rate). For health monitoring, the Ultra has more sensors, sure, but none of them are a reason to upgrade for me. For notifications, I want to go back to the 5. On the Watch5 I could choose a single app to use a different sound for its notifications than the sound used for the other apps. Love this feature. I hoped that the Ultra would go a step further and let me choose unique sounds for more than one app. But instead, the feature is gone and all notifications sound the same. For the time-related features, nothing is changed. I would love to see some improvement in the alarms and timers, but this never happens.

I wasn't sure I'd like the weight, it's much heavier than the 6 Classic. I was pleasantly surprised as it well balanced and the weight isn't noticeable. It works well and is very quick responding to everything. The next version needs a physical bezel or crown or something beside the touch screen.
The new galaxy watch ultra has amazing features. The fit and aesthetic is really good. The size is perfect for my wrist and I love the new watch strap system it's now a lot more easier to wear and this watch feels more lighter than the classic model. I do wish this watch still had the rotating bezel like the classic model. But other than that the touch features work flawlessly and the screen typing is a breeze. And I also love the new action button which makes it easier to access priority apps and navigate throughout the screen.
