This watch is great for the most part. It has a lot of features that separate it from the galaxy pro 5 I traded in. I wish the run tracking was better. Periodically, it asks if i have finished my workout while I am running a sub-8 mile pace. Which should not happen. I have the auto detect turned off for workouts. This is a very important watch function for me, so I would love to see it fixed.
Coming from Watch 4 classics. Don't really miss the rotating bezel for improved water resistance. Love the battery life, fluid and responsive OS navigation, extremely accurate sleep and exercise tracking, and how it looks. I just wish it had a sleep cycle alarm. :(

I had the Watch 6 classic prior to this, and I was nervous reading some of the reviews regarding battery life. My watch 6 only really ever got a day, maybe a day and a half of use, so I was skeptical this would last. I'm happy to say the other reviews weren't correct, and the battery life in the Ultra is amazing. I get 3 days with regular use before I have to charge it. Overall, this is a great watch, however, I'm giving it 4 stars, due to not getting full functionality unless you also have a Samsung phone. I have a Sony Xperia, and the amount I spent on this watch, I should get full functionality. So be warned if you have anything other than a Samsung phone.
Good hardware but design is poor. The watch has a central high point which causes the watch to pivot. which causes movements dropping heart rate measurements ulnless you wear it too tight for comfort.
While i would love to give this a better rating it doesnt seem much different than my old galaxy 6 classic watch
