The Ultra is an awesome device. But I've had nothing but problems since upgrading from the 5 Pro. If my phone dies or I turn it off, my number sync doesn't work and I'm not able to text with the watch on its own. ATT hasn't been any help. It's not the RCS issue, I don't use Google messages. Even standalone texting through Samsung messages will not work unless the phone is powered on somewhere.. I've tried everything I can think of and I'm very disappointed. Test this if you haven't.. I just want to text from my watch if my phone is off. It shouldn't be this hard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for reaching out with your candid review, Egan. We always love getting feedback from our customers. We see that you reached out to share your experience with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Samsung watches allow you to use number sharing to make that call with a Samsung Smart Watch. With this feature, your phone and smart watch can share the same phone number. You'll be able to make and take calls, get app notifications, and more, right on your watch. However, the process will be different depending on your network carrier. Check out the link attached for options to help troubleshoot this. If that does not help. Please reach out to us at Samsung Support and we'll be more than happy to take a further look and assist you with this. Thank you for being the best part of Samsung. -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003296/ 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
I like that it is very accurate in most of my workouts. Better battery life and screen size compared to the galaxy classic 6 that I had before. I would like more developments on the health apps but ovet great watch. May recommended also working on the water proof so I don't have to remove the watch each time I swim
