Upgraded from Galaxy Watch 6 and I very much like the new style and finish of the Ultra. The watch UI is very snappy and smooth. I had some initial challenges with battery life, but once I started over with new watch (no recovery from prior backup), turned off Google Assistant and LTE, I got 3-4 days of battery days consistently now. Apparently, I was not affected by the Bluetooth bug for which Samsung is rolling out a fix. I hope Samsung will put some effort into fixing some of the promised features, e.g. pairing sensors to the watch and explaining how to use the currently useless AGEs information.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch Ultra has impressed me with its robust design and comprehensive features. The battery life effortlessly lasts for days, exceeding my expectations. Navigating the intuitive interface is a breeze, even for a first-time smartwatch user. The health and fitness tracking capabilities are extensive and provide valuable insights into my daily activity. Overall, I highly recommend the Galaxy Watch Ultra to anyone seeking a premium smartwatch experience.
Really dont like the design. The 44mm Watch 7 is the same size without the box around it. The Ultra should have went with a garmin style design. Maybe next year!
For my FEMALES as well! Been seeing all these "manly" reviews, but on my goodness. It's so nice. It's kind of big for my small wrists, but that doesn't bother me. I run with it, workout with it, heck I could possibly sleep with it (I wont lmao).
Tracks steps good, the battery is the battery, still working on trying to get that "2 day" battery but I know it can take a little while to get there with the watch being high speed and "ultra". I use this so I won't be carrying my phone everywhere but it's so cool :)
I think this is the best watch yet, I have had every Samsung watch that has came out since 2013. Samsung continues to improve with every new device. It is very convenient for me to send a quick txt while in work meetings. The inclusion of multiple apps and addition of some not previously available. The overall look of this device versus its predecessors. It is a more appealing sleek design.
I've been using my Galaxy Watch Ultra for a few weeks now, having upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Compared to the Classic, the Ultra looks bigger but still maintains that modern tech look. I've noticed increased battery life, and the screen is more visible outdoors. It weighs a bit more than the Classic, but it's still comfortable to wear. The new strap mechanism makes it easier to swap out straps, though you'll need to buy new ones because they are not compatible with the Classic's straps.
Before buying the watch, I thought there wouldn't be much difference in software or speed, but I was wrong. The Ultra is faster, loads apps quicker, and I haven't experienced any lag when opening apps. We finally have a voice assistant activated by saying "Hey Google," making this a true smartwatch. I can make calls and send messages with just my voice without pressing any buttons. I highly recommend it if you are interested; it's definitely a good-looking watch.
