Very happy with my new Ultra watch. The biggest improvement for me over the Watch 6 and Watch 5, is that the Ultra now accurately records each (pool) swim length. The previous watch versions would often randomly miss a length, or add an extra one (for example, if I paused in between laps to adjust my goggles, the old watches would sometimes interpret that arm movement as swimming and increment the length counter). Otherwise, I'm very happy with the better battery life and the bigger more rugged construction. No complaints at all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Samsung Watch Ultra may not be for everybody.. but why not?? I suppose if your cornered/jailed in that other fruity ecosystem, or you have an itsy bitsy wrist, this watch may not be a perfect fit. Otherwise, it checks all of the boxes. It runs Google's and Samsung's latest operating systems, the new watch faces are informative and captivating, the screen face is bright and gorgeous, and the health and wellness information it provides... Just WOW! And man is it built rugged... Ready for anything outdoors, including the pool or swimming marathons. You can't go wrong with this watch. It should also hold it's value well. I couldn't be happier with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don't get me wrong, i am a Samsung girly ,but when I say Samsung STEPPED IT UP 👏👏 I mean it!! I had the watch 4 classic for several years and decided,it's time to upgrade .this watch ultra is everything I need and more ; my favorite part ? The sleep apnea monitor !! And the O2 sensor and the hr monitoring .really ,I just love the health side of it !! I will be looking forward to future updates !!
Coming from a Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, the 7 Ultra is about the same battery life or a little worse the previous generation. Even with always on display off, wake wrist display off, and auto brightness off. With brightness around 25% i only get 2days. My 6 Classic got 3days. Very disappointed and yes watch is up to date.

Didn’t care for the watch. It was missing so many features compared to the competition.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for working out riding bike, monitoring my activities. The use of the Galaxy AI on this watch and other Samsung devices are amazing!
