This is a good watch in a lot of ways, but that's not what this review is about - this is about how fragile this watch is. I've had it for less than a week, and it's taken more damage than my galaxy watch 4 classic did in 2 years.
I slipped on some grease at work and fell against a wall. When I looked down, the frame of the watch has been noticeably scratched up, including a scratch on the screen. This is supposed to be a rugged, hardy watch for all occasions, especially things like outings in extreme conditions. It will not survive harsh treatment. For the price of the watch, a big part of which is supposed to be for how hardy it supposedly is, this is not just disappointing but outrageous.
The only reason I don't rate it even lower is because at least the watch works well. But paying this price only for the first incident in less than a week to damage it is infuriating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Ultra and Galaxy AI enable me to maintain constant connectivity, enhancing my productivity. The AI is particularly useful in assisting me with composing responses to work emails and text messages, identifying and correcting grammatical errors. Additionally, it offers suggestions for rephrasing sentences to improve their clarity and professionalism. Furthermore, the watch facilitates health monitoring and enables me to efficiently read and respond to messages. The combination of these devices empowers me to achieve exceptional productivity.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the way it feels and what it does. The problem is I have had it less than a week and the metal part around d the watch face already has scratches. I am not rough or careless with it. I just easily scratches. Very disappointing for this price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is awesome, better yet ultra!! Has updated tech for lifestyle situations, love the water resistance and action button. The watch makes summer rock
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra for a few weeks now, and I'm seriously impressed. The first thing that caught my eye was the bright, clear display—it’s super easy to read, even when I'm out in the sun.
The design feels solid and premium, and you can tell it’s built to last. I’m not worried about it getting scratched or damaged, even during outdoor activities.
The battery life has been a pleasant surprise. I can go a few days without needing to charge it, and when I do, the wireless charging makes it easy.
The fitness tracking features are top-notch. I’ve been using the GPS for runs and hikes, and it’s very accurate. The heart rate monitor and ECG are great for keeping an eye on my health, and I love that I can track so much from my wrist.
One of the best parts is being able to leave my phone at home. With the LTE connection, I can still make calls, send texts, and stream music directly from the watch.It’s perfect for when I want to go for a run or just be hands-free.
Overall, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has exceeded my expectations. It’s stylish, durable, and packed with features that make it a great fit for my active lifestyle. I’m really happy with this purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my watch for everything, from tracking my workouts to paying for my latte. I upgraded to the watch ultra from the previous generation model. The Galaxy AI features aren't supported on my watch yet but I am so excited for it as I'm learning about it on my Galaxy S22. The design of the watch is so refreshing moving from the frontier model. The accuracy of steps and heart rate are spot on. The hand gestures work very well. This is a great watch and I'm am happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been wearing the new Galaxy Watch Ultra for the last 3 weeks, from the moment of unboxing, I was impressed with: design and style, multiple health features such as sleep tracking, heart rate variability and monitoring, apnea and snoring monitoring, automatic multiple work out detections, dual GPS bands, body composition tracking, all this and more made better by the use/application of AI. Not to mention the new design of the snap in Watch bands and beautiful colors adds style and elegance to the watch. So all in all a very impressive watch.
