In all the years that Samsung has been developing and marketing flagship smartwatches, the new Galaxy Watch Ultra is perhaps the most exciting yet. It takes the core features of the company's smartwatch and elevates them to a whole different level.
For the success of its Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung relies heavily on the success of previous generations of Samsung watches, which are known for their high quality and technology. Now with a few key design elements and new AI-based features, Samsung can easily make its Galaxy Watch Ultra that much more special.
For example, the Galaxy Watch Ultra comes in three color options, including a Titanium White finish that we're just in love with, but overall it's the "tip of the ice cream" in premium sports watches.
For health enthusiasts, the new flagship offers unique "health experiences" powered by Galaxy AI, which are actually also available on the more budget-friendly Galaxy Watch 7, but we'll talk about that in a moment.
The new flagship in smart watches also features Samsung's unique BioActive sensor, as well as a new 3-nanometer processor, which makes the device's operation extremely fast and precise.
Samsung's usual two buttons allow you to cycle through options in the same way as always, and are used in conjunction with the powerful AMOLED touchscreen. However, we now also have a quick button that can be programmed to automatically start workouts, switch to other segments or skip to the next training profile, and the Multisports innovation is perfect for disciplines such as triathlon, for example.
But what is the difference between the Galaxy Watch Ultra and the other innovation of the Koreans Galaxy Watch7. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is made with higher-end materials such as titanium, has an added shortcut button and longer battery life.
But the software and fitness tracking features are the same for the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7. The flagship also has three special straps designed specifically for the Galaxy Watch Ultra. These include the Marine Band (good for water activities), the Trail Band (good for outdoor activities) and the Peakform Band (a strap for everyday use).
As for the Galaxy Watch Ultra battery, we can say that although the watch has more features, it lasts longer than its predecessors. With the power saving mode activated, the watch can easily run for over 100 hours without interruption.
As for the size, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is available in only one option with a diameter of 47 mm and of course with LTE support. Everything described so far is "packaged" and at a price that we can define as attractive. It's lower than its main competitors, but it's still Samsung's most expensive smartwatch to date.
In case you decide to have this watch on your wrist, know that if you are a person with an active lifestyle, you definitely won't regret it. This is the best such device of any kind available in the market.
In conclusion, we will say that the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is a beast among smartwatches. The build quality is excellent, it's packed with outdoor-focused features, and it's great for casual adventurers and true smartwatch fans alike. It doesn't look like any Samsung Galaxy Watch before it, but its Ultra look is flagship, just like the iconic Galaxy S24 Ultra... Comparisons between competing watch models are inevitable, but our opinion is that they are basically similar visually, however Galaxy Watch Ultra can do so much more.
Galaxy Watch Ultra is easier and more ergonomic to use, more comfortable on the wrist and has a more impressive list of features. Samsung's improved sleep and recovery calculations, boosted by Galaxy AI, also make the watch damn good at what it does. And last but not least, you'll know from the first glance that Samsung's buttery-smooth AMOLED screen and refresh rate definitely set it apart from the rest.
Whether you like it visually or not is a matter of opinion and personal taste and judgement, but what is not a matter of opinion but a fact is that this watch can withstand all kinds of external conditions and impacts.
