[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything have to do with Galaxy AI features is the principal reason of my choices combined with my Galaxy S 25 ultra.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my ultra for fitness. It is accurate and reliable. It has numerous exercises and I can even group them together.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very limited in what I know of AI. That being said I have an easy time using my Samsung devices.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my watch to track my steps, and sleep. I use my watch to take calls. I have not used the AI on the watch, but i will look into it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned many galaxy watches over the last 6 plus years, and of them all, the Watch Ultra is the best.
I got into galaxy series watches with the Galaxy Watch Active, which was a great watch, it just didn't work well for me as it was very limited in its features and the battery would only last about 7 to 12 hours, feature useage dependant.
I have also owned a Watch 6, Watch 6 Classic, and a Watch 7 before the Ultra and the Watch 8 on pre-order.
After getting the Watch 8, I decided the Ultra was still more my speed still so I gave the 8 to my girlfriend and I kept wearing my Ultra. The 8 is nice, but the Ultra is my thing.
The battery lasts for days instead of hours like my first watch, obviously feature use dependant as each feature uses more power.
I love the sleep apnea monitoring since I have issues with my breathing when sleeping, so It helps me track my patterns. It also has an A-fib detection, which can be very helpful thing if you have heart rate issues, which I also have. So far, I have yet to find something I don't like about the Ultra, but I doubt I will anyway, so..
When it comes time to retire my Ultra, my only hope is that Samsung has a newer Ultra model for me to move to.
I'll include a picture of my watch, but it has an aftermarket band and housing on it.
