[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Totally love this watch. All of the features and the programs are awesome. I haven't used the AI feature yet but my Galaxy phone AI is the one system I use every day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Galaxy Watch every day, and for the most part, it’s a great device. It’s comfortable, packed with features, and works well for daily tracking. But there’s one issue that really matters to me — the battery life.
In my experience:
If I barely use the watch, I might get a day and a half of battery.
With normal or active use, it rarely lasts more than a single day.
Yes, this is with a brand-new watch, so it’s not a wear-and-tear problem.
Because of this, I often end up going back to my Garmin, which lasts much longer on a single charge. I don’t want to worry about my watch dying when I’m out somewhere unfamiliar or when I might need help. The Galaxy Watch has great phone-free features, but they don’t mean much if the battery is dead.
For me, this limits my ability to leave my phone at home and truly take a break from life — which is something I really wanted from this device.
If Samsung can significantly improve battery life, this would be an amazing all-around watch. But as it stands, the daily charging requirement is a real drawback for anyone active or on the go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This timepiece is exceptional. Its durability is a significant advantage, and I particularly appreciate the innovative gesture controls, such as the ability to change songs with a pinch of the fingers or answer calls with a flick of the wrist. Overall, it's an outstanding watch that exceeds expectations.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the features of my watch. I like that it works even when it's not connected to my phone. I also like that I can use all of my phone apps on it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is a solid piece of equipment with good features, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. On the downside, the battery life is somewhat short and tends to run out faster than expected. Additionally, the bezel edges can get damaged relatively easily with daily use, and the strap also tends to get stained. Apart from that, it’s quite a well-rounded watch in terms of functionality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it, it looks amazing and I'm able to use it to talk on while I'm away from my phone. Has an amazing image quality for a watch as well.
