I was not sure if I would like this watch. The main reason was the size. But i've gotten used to it and i love the way it works. Easy to use and I can control most apps on my phone with a single press. I have not found a voice control feature, not sure if it has one, but this is the best watch i've owned. Fitness features sync perfectly with my phone as well. I can take off the watch while working out with my phone in my pocket and but the watch back on and track my workout without any thing being skipped. The voice to text and calls on the watch are clear with barely any background noise. Unless someone is yelling right next to me, my friends don't hear anything but me. I have not tried the cell reception feature for the watch to have its' own phone number.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch ultra is a great device. Daily worn in hands on work and mechanical opperations at home. Have hade absolutely no issues with the watch. The battery life blows competing brands out of the water. Much better function over others as well.
In my experience it's not easy to navigate, a little too touch sensitive, bulky and the battery doesn't last more than 1 day. My Garmin battery would last for 10+ days. I haven't tested the waterproffability yet but i found it it has a water seal function that sounds cool. Hopefully I'll enjoy it the more i use it but so far, not impressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My second of these exact watches. I got a new phone & decided to get a new eatch too. Nothing wrong with the old one after 2 years. Gave it to my son. I love all things Galaxy & dislike all things i!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is way better than my old watch however I love them both keeps track of steps does stress monitoring and all kinds of stuff that I didn't even know I needed this watch is battery also lasts for about 2 days which is pretty cool and that's with texts and all kinds of notifications and step counters and all kinds of stuff on
I am enjoying my Watch Ultra. I upgraded from a 5 pro. The screen is large and vibrant. The touch controls are seamless. The extra ram is noticeable as it powers through whatever you ask. The AI features on this one are vastly improved likely aided by the new processor and memory. I am getting 2+ days typically on a charge which is one of the core reason I chose the Ultra. My only complaint is it charges slow. Otherwise, I am love it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A luxury designed feature packed watch that is your personal Galaxy AI companion on the go! Indispensable fitness tracking features that keep you up to date on your progress and overall health. Never miss your most important notifications from following your favorite sports teams to your friends, co-workers and family. Incredible two day battery life that allows you stay on the go without the worry of having to top off when your trying to meet your goals. Just a wonderful watch I'd be happy to recommend to anyone looking for the ultimate smartwatch.
