Moved up from a Watch 5 Pro. The 5 Pro was fast, but this Ultra is even faster. Beautiful display. Unfortunately, the same issue I saw with the 5 Pro is still present with this model: it misses most of my floor climbs. I routinely do 12 - 15 floors every day, but it only records 3 - 4 most days. Fitbit is much better at recording these accurately. Other tracking functions appear to be good. About the same battery life as the 5 Pro, but it seems to charge a little bit more slowly. Disappointed that the magnetic clasp band from the 5 Pro wasn't available on the new one. Had to replace it with a third party product. Overall an impressive watch and I do recommend it.
I have had my Galaxy watches in the past, but nothing compared to this one tho, the screen is a bit larger, battery does last 2 days depending on quantity of notifications received.

It’s great to hear from you, William! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

If you're experiencing battery drain or decreased battery life, it may be due to certain apps increasing consumption. If your watch is paired with a Samsung phone, use the Samsung Members app to perform a diagnostic check on the battery; if it passes, the battery is likely in good condition. Additionally, ensure all your apps and the watch software are updated, as some apps with bugs may cause excessive battery usage.
