I've owned Galaxy the S3 Frontier, Watch 5 Pro, and Watch 6 Classic. While they've been great smartwatch complements to my Galaxy phone, they've lagged with accuracy in the fitness/health areas as compared to Garmin devices. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a clear step above, and now provides near-Garmin accuracy with heart rate monitoring, GPS, and altitude measurements. Keep improving Samsung - and make pairing possible with other devices power meters, heart rate straps, etc.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing features including galaxy ai. I can't to also receive my galaxy buds pro.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this watch and the new features. Battery life is not as good as I had hoped, but I have not tried the power savings modes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy Watch Ultra is an INCREDIBLE improvement on what was already a great platform. Screen quality is top-tier, battery life is excellent (4+ days with AOD active), and it's very comfortable for being a big watch.
Would love to see Samsung come out with some metal band options that match the metal finishes of the watch itself!
Great watch, missing AOD and Energy Score features

I am thoroughly impressed with this watch!
However...
The user interface changes are a bit baffling. I am not allowed to have always on display enabled, AND turn off touch screen to wake up. This is highly infuriating because of accidental screen wake ups.
I do greatly appreciate the addition of the body battery energy score. However this does not calculate and update throughout the day as many other smartwatch softwares do. It would be very helpful for it to calculate silver times throughout the day so you can compare your body energy score with how you actually feel and know where to improve.
I implore Samsung development to allow a more highly customizable always on display feature. Where I can choose how much of the screen to use for and always on display, whether it be just a clock and date, or any other features that I want to use on my always on display. And then I would like to be able to click a button to turn on the watch fully and interact with my full watch screen as required. I would like and always on display light option where I can always look at the time no matter what without having to touch the screen or press a button to wake it up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the galaxy watch 5 pro since that came out and didn't care about a rotating bezel on the 6. I do alot of out door activities so I need a very strong watch. The galaxy watch ultra addresses any issue I had with the 5pro. More accurate sensors for health monitoring. Quick access to workouts with the action button. New GPS, amazing. The way that my ultra works with my phone S23ultra to use Galaxy AI is really impressive as well.
Also, the battery life is just as good as my 5pro was. Night mode also a great feature on the ultra face.
I could keep going, but to sum it up I really can't think of anything I would change at this point. Really happy with my upgrade.
