[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always owned a samsung watch for as long as I can remember. This year I was so pleased with the design change and the snapper response of this watch the new Galaxy AI features. Adding additional sensors help keep my heart monitoring even through my toughest workouts. Also I love brightness in sun making it easy to see. Great watch highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who routinely looks towards new tech toys, I was excited to swap out my Watch 5 Pro with the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Similar to swapping my S22 to the he S24 Ultra I wanted to see what Galaxy AI features might be ported into the watch. So far nothing AI has been added into the watch for user access, however the telemetry of the new sensors help predict, with a grain of salt, similar to Garmin's body battery.
The case is a little more bulky, not that much more in the weight department. And TBH, I don't use all the whizbang features and go with a more minimalist approach. I need to turn on workout tracking and general body tracking when I need it. I don't use AOD and with other other always on features such as Bixby and Google Assistant (currently has an issue draining battery) turned off with the display brightness turned down, I'm seeing the same battery life as before. About 3ish days of use. I workout 5x a week, 30-45 min mostly calisthenics and body weight focused so I use the "other workout" or "stretching" as my primary. I have it monitoring for walks and rowing, but it doesn't pickup walks since the last update.
If you don't need the multi sport or other stuff and don't have a great trade, I'd stay with the larger 7 and skip this unit. If you are looking solely for fitness and don't care about messages or notifications, Garmin makes a far superior product, or Suunto.
Super bright and easily seen in daylight. I was hesitant to order goung from the Watch 5pro, since I really enjoyed that watch, but Iam so glad i did. The watch works incredibly well, the night mode showing the watch face in red is a nice touch as well. I am very glad I traded up from one great watch to another.
Great product but only one thing. Someone please tell Samsung that the term for features and actions should be named "Compilations" and not "Complications". Please and thanks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great watch so far, improved health sensors, like the new design more that I thought, haven't try any Galaxy AI stuff yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI for health features has been great so far, display is very nice, wish it was a little larger even! Time will tell but the watch has been excellent
