I am still exploring all of the Galaxy Watch’s features, but it has already been very helpful in keeping me on time for appointments and reminders. I typically track my day on my Galaxy phone, which I keep on silent during business hours, causing me to miss calls, appointments, and scheduled meetings. With the Galaxy Watch, I no longer miss these important notifications.
On my 2nd... coming from the watch 5 pros im very disappointed. The fist one i wore just shy of 30 days. It didn't track my sleep metrics or anything once. I ensured all sensors were on no luck. I sent it back as a defective item. Got my watch 5 pro back and the straps were no longer with it. I got another ultra because I want to upgrade and like the samsung system. First night watch worked perfectly recorded sleep and energy score. Second night nothing recorded... Will wait to see if it works tonight. I really hope so or I'll be trying a whole new brand out if I return this one as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Watch overall performance is good, would be a good idea to improve on a few things like the home button that actives each time the hand wrist is folded.
I find the watch Large but great for a person of many years love all the new features still learning. Watch bands are very wide if you have a small wrist like myself
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.
