very nice watch, but I returned it. Unable to see the screen when wearing polarized sunglasses.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Mike, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. As we strive to be innovative and make improvements on the design and functionality of our products, your feedback is invaluable. Your Galaxy Watch Ultra screen has a polarizing filter that can clash with your polarized sunglasses by blocking light waves and making the screen appear black. Angling your head or the watch, increasing brightness, or using voice commands are temporary fixes while wearing your sunglasses. If you have any questions for us or if you would like any further assistance, please let us know by contacting Samsung Support. Thank you for being a cherished Samsung customer. - Debra

Great improvement overall, love the look and feel. Even though appears to be bulk, it's light weight and technology pov it's way ahead from my expectation and experience.
I had the watch Ultra 2024 and it was very buggy with some apps and froze at time. I decided to upgrade for more storage and a slightly bigger display. The processor sensors and battery life are so much better with the daily use of this device than it's predecessor.
