When I first seen the watch on line, I was like, Man I don't like the square body, however once I recieved the watch and started wearing it, was I wrong, I absolutely love the look. Sure it is a little heavier than the Classic 6, does not bother me in the least.
I tried out the sleep apena feature and as my wife thought it let me know that I need to speak to my DR about sleep apena.
Overall the features are great, battery life for me is a little better than the Classic 6, I consider myself a moderate to heavy user.
So, was it worth the money, you bet, with the trade for the Classic 6. If your on the fence, go for it....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like the design, features and battery life! Would like to see a rotating bezel on the next version.
I've had the watch less than a week. My initial impression is that this is a very good watch with a lot of features I have yet to explore. Surprisingly comfortable on the wrist. The watch is very useful for my daily 5 mile+ urban hike I go on every day. I would like to have better battery life without having to utilize battery saving features. Perhaps Samsung can improve that with some software updates. Give me a month and I'll update.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned several galaxy watches, typically getting the Classic or highest level model available. Battery life has always been a struggle, especially for me as I use the watch as a Golf GPS watch.
The galaxy watch 4 classic would drain to about 50% after a round of 18 holes. The galaxy watch 6 classic would either die before I finished a round or would have less than 15% remaining at the end of a round. This Galaxy Watch Ultra only uses about 15% for a full 18 hole round of golf, and this is without putting any power saving options on or using the app in standalone mode.
Yes the watch is a little bulky, but I don't have dainty wrists and if you want a beefy battery the device will have to be bigger.
It has detected moderate to severe sleep apnea for me and I will be mentioning it to my doctor.
This watch's sensors seem to be far more accurate as well. I have much more reliable sleep data.
Honestly not having to worry about the battery life and being able to have every sensor and feature turned on is really what makes this the best.
I have not utilized any Galaxy AI features but am intrigued by AI in general, so we will see how useful it can be.
Comfortable to wear all day, battery has lasted more than 2 days at a time. After 2 full days I still have about 30-35% left on the battery. Watch is much faster than the previous generation. Only complaint I have is the standard silicone watch band does not tuck in like previous generations, but you can buy aftermarket bands. Does not work with previous generation bands either. Overall a great watch, and I got a great trade in value for my Watch6 classic, so I only came a couple hundred out of pocket for the ultra.
