[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really haven't liked wearing a watch in the past, but my new Galaxy AI watch ultra is great. Much more convenient when walking around the office than carrying my phone around with me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my Galaxy Watch Ultra today in the mail. So far I am loving every min of having it on my wrist. It's so very sleek and nice looking. I love the fact that I don't have to have my phone with me, and knowing I can make calls, texts etc without the phone with me. I am still getting use to slot of the widgets and things like that but so far it's definitely a 5 star watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely worth the upgrade from the previous big model of the 6 I believe I had. I sleep with it every night! Its not as uncomfortable as you'd think or have been Led to believe! I love it. No need for an upgrade past this right now. Its the best!
There is an ongoing issue with this watch and Samsung Galaxy Ultra 2024 as well as Galaxy Fold 7 devices where the notifications for the watch are all delayed anywhere from 15 minutes to a copule of hours where upon getting the notifications the watch buzzes with like5-10 messages all at one time but LATE. This issue has been reported online as a software issue as I have rebooted and reset both the watch as well as phones and still same results after a few hours of the restart.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy Watch Ultra Review — Built for Clumsy People With Chaotic Lives (Hi, It’s Me)
Listen… I’m not out here crushing gym goals. The only time I break a sweat is at work or when I accidentally scare myself with my own reflection. But durability? Oh, that I need — because if something can be dropped, bumped, scraped, or yeeted across a room by accident, I will make it happen.
And the Galaxy Watch Ultra? This thing is basically shrugging at me like, “That all you got?” I’ve whacked it on doorframes, introduced it to the floor, and forgotten it was on my wrist while wrestling with my seatbelt. It still looks fresh like it just clocked in for its first day.
The screen is stupidly bright — like “I can see it in the sun without performing interpretive dance squints” bright. Battery life is great too. I’m not recharging it every five minutes like some needy Tamagotchi from 1999.
Notifications come through clean and fast, which is amazing because my phone is never where I left it. The watch is basically my wrist-based babysitter, tapping me like, “Hey, pay attention,” but in a polite, non-judgey way.
Honestly? I didn’t expect to actually love a smartwatch. But this one fits my life — which is roughly 70% chaos, 20% “oh no,” and 10% “did I just do that?” It keeps up, holds up, and never complains. If you need something tough enough for real life and classy enough to pretend you’ve got it together, this watch nails it.
