The watch has a lot of features, but the battery life is terrible. The battery life is at best the same as my Galaxy watch 6. So now thinking about just returning this and getting the watch 7. I upgraded for the battery life but it is no difference then my wife's watch 7. I do think it is the screen brightness of the ultra that destroys the battery. I don't necessarily need 3000 nits. I would rather save the cost difference if I'm getting the same battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the new Ultra watch, crystal clear glass, fast response, more complications on the watch faces. More accurate measurements. I just wish the screen won't dim . I like the colored screen however it dims after few seconds as soon as I put my hand down. Other than that. It's beautiful.
Watch looks and feels premium. Love how it looks on my wrist. Used it in the pool at gym while doing laps. Flawless! Battery lasts 2 plus days so no problem there! Love Samsung products!
