I absolutely love everything about the watch. The technology is amazing. The screen is absolutely amazing. But it has been irritating and burning my wrist where the sensors go and I can't seem to find out why. Really sucks to be honest.
I have owned Galaxy watches in the past. I've had both LTE and BT versions. Even though this Ultra model is remarkably larger than the previous ones, it has been a real pleasant addition to my technology arsenal.
It was very easy to set up, both to communicate with my smart phone and with my cellphone provider. Being an LTE model, I can leave my cellphone at home and still communicate with everyone. I can upload music to the watch and play it there. I haven't tried uploading audiobooks but that's next for me.
I regularly use the timer, alarms, calendars, and more. As large as the watch is, I consider it quite light-weight.
Based on my usage, the battery lasts a good long time. When charging it at night, I don't fully charge it knowing that it will have sufficient charge to carry me through to the next evening. Thus I might charge it to 90-95%.
Excellent. I was worried about not having the bezel (I upgraded from a GW3) but I couldn't be happier with this! Definitely the best watch Samsung has put out so far.
This could be so great, but Samsung misses the mark
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch Ultra is more than a smartwatch—it's a rugged, intelligent companion built for high-performance lifestyles. As someone who balances entrepreneurship and fitness, I use it daily to track my cardio sessions, monitor sleep quality, and stay connected during long workdays. The titanium build and 10ATM water resistance make it ideal for outdoor runs, even in Miami’s unpredictable weather.
What truly elevates the experience is Galaxy IA. It provides personalized insights like Energy Score and Wellness Tips, helping me optimize recovery and performance. I especially appreciate the advanced heart rate tracking and dual-frequency GPS, which keep me on pace whether I’m biking through Brickell or managing logistics for my business.
Battery life is impressive—lasting multiple days—and the customizable Quick Button adds convenience during workouts. Whether I’m reviewing sleep data or taking calls on the go, the Galaxy Watch Ultra fits seamlessly into my routine. It’s not just durable—it’s smart, efficient, and built for those who push limits.
Got this to replace my samsung 5 watch. So far its been a great upgrade. Better battery life, Very easy to swap bands. Better health app functions, gps seems better.
