I've had the watch 4 classic for a couple years and it's time to upgrade. I wasn't sure about this watch because of the design, but after checking it out and comparing it to the watch 7, I'm glad I went with the ultra. It's absolutely amazing! I don't miss the rotating bezel as much as I thought i would and there are so many accessories you can find online to add to is already awesome build. I found this hefty band, bezel cover and scratch guard in the picture
Best smart watch I've ever owned. Upgraded from a Watch5 Pro, which I thought was a great watch. However, the Ultra has a faster processor and more memory and storage and is noticeably quicker in performing all tasks. Not as thick as the Watch5 Pro and more stylish with the same size battery and about the same amount of time before needing to charge.
Samsung Pay seems to work more reliably on the Ultra than the Watch5 Pro and the finger tap to perform actions works well and is a useful shortcut.
Quick button is a nice feature to launch frequently used apps. I use it to select my workout routines and then long press to end them; very convenient when exercising and avoids multiple taps or clicks to access your app.
It also comes with 4G (need to add a number-sharing plan with your service provider), which allows you to leave your phone at home when going for a run or bike ride without losing any of the functionality in terms of location and mapping your route.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this upgrade and probably won't need another smart watch for at least several years.
The watch is beautiful, the operating system is great but the battery is terrible and the charging is very slow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
