Consider me to be a converted fan. I came from a Classic 6 which was perfection. I ridiculed the square look of the Ultra, until I tried it. It's amazing in person even if the pictures online might look silly. Battery life is nearly 4 days for me... could not be more thrilled with this one.
Battery life is short. Daily charging is required.

I love the way this watch looks and feels. The large screen is easy to read and I like the addition of the round middle button. Gives it a more traditional look.
I owned the galaxy watch 4 and traded it in for the 8 ultra. The battery life is a vast improvement. It has more features and a larger screen. Surprisingly, as big as it is, the watch is not heavy. This version is leaps and bounds above the past watch. I highly recommended it
