I like the watch for the most part, the screen is sweet. I am thinking about returning it for 2 reasons, no rotating bezel, and cannot use the app Facer....what a shame.

Same issue as the watch 5, heart rate is a total fabrication most of the time. It's funny, you can look at the heart rate app, your heart rate fluctuates up... down.... and all around, but take a peek under the watch and the green light isn't even on, lol. When you choose monitor continuously, it monitors when you're walking, but not when your at rest or it deems you to not be active enough. Nothing worse than fake data. Aside from that, it's an ultra in name, certainly not in battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey DSilver! We appreciate you taking the time to share your insightful feedback on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. We aim to provide our customers with the best experience possible. The Watch Ultra features enhanced heart rate monitoring that allows you to customize your training for optimal results, tailored specifically for you. If the step or heart rate tracking features are not working properly on your watch, the watch band or strap may be too loose or the watch's software might need updating. However, a simple reboot may solve the problem. If the watch is too loose, or the sensor is dirty, it may have difficulty tracking your steps and heart rate. Make sure to clean the watch and make sure it's properly fitted to get the best results. Another possible solution would be to reboot the watch. Press and hold the Home key (Power key) and Back key simultaneously for 7 seconds, until the watch displays "Rebooting..." When the watch has finished booting, test the step and heart rate trackers. If you are still having challenges after rebooting your watch, check for software updates on your watch and the Galaxy Wearable app. As far as your battery, we recommend always making sure that your watch is up to date with the latest software available. Your Samsung smartwatch isn’t all cogs and gears - it’s wires, processors, data chips, and software! And just like with any other smart device, the watch's software and apps will need to be updated every so often. Luckily, you can update both whether or not you have a phone! If your watch is paired with a Samsung phone you can use Samsung Members to perform a diagnostic on your watch battery. If it passes the test, you'll know the battery is in good condition. Check out the link attached for additional options to help optimize your watch's battery life. If any of what you are experiencing persists, please reach out to us at Samsung Support so that we can further assist you. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus

The Samsung Watch looks great and works well overall, but it has its issues. Setting up the wireless or cellular connection is harder than it should be—it’s just not user-friendly. Also, while the features are good, they feel a bit outdated and could use some serious upgrades. It’s a nice watch, but it could be so much better with some improvements.
