Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Review

 

Wear OS gets some design personality ; Strong GPS and HR accuracy ; Ultra-bright and clear display ; Comprehensive sleep tracking

Navigation crying out for rotating bezel ; Inconsistent battery life ; Not a good fit for smaller wrists ; Exclusive features for Samsung phones

Despite the odd quirk, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra brings a refreshing premium touch to the Wear OS ecosystem.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: Technically Samsung’s best watch yet

 

A powerful, slightly flawed smartwatch

Tough titanium exterior ; New programmable Quick button ; Tons of features

Battery could still be beefier ; Screen is no larger than 44mm Galaxy Watch

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is a beast of a smartwatch. The build quality is excellent, it’s packed with outdoor-focused features, and promises to be great for casual adventurers and serious Samsung fans alike. However, it's too big, perhaps too...

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: Replica or rival?

 

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is Samsung's answer to the Apple Watch Ultra but is there method in the firm's choice to fly close to the sun?

Durable design ; Rich array of smartwatch and health features ; Big, bright AMOLED display

Some GPS accuracy issues ; No offline mapping support ; Inconsistent battery performance

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is one of Samsung’s nicest smartwatches that offers some good fitness and outdoor features but as far as being Android’s answer to the Apple Watch Ultra, it’s not quite there yet.

Why I’m glad the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra looks inspired by Apple

 

The Apple Watch Ultra influence is clear in leaked renders of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Here's why I think Samsung's design team has been smart

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review

 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is Samsung's attempt to challenge Apple's Watch Ultra with a collection of premium features and tough, premium design. The...

Rugged, premium design with titanium, sapphire glass and ceramic.

Quite expensive at launch.

There are a few things that keep us from giving this watch an excellent score. The most obvious one is the absence of the rotating bezel, as the touch bezel just doesn't cut it. We believe the rotating bezel would have been an excellent addition to the...

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: a surprising success | Digital Trends

 

Don't dismiss the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra as a meaningless Apple Watch Ultra clone. I reviewed the new watch, and it surprised the heck out of me.

Bold, unique design ; Surprisingly comfortable ; Quick button is great ; Big and bright display ; Excellent activity/sleep tracking ; Sleep apnea feature works well ; Two-day battery life

No rotating bezel or crown ; Limited use for water activities ; Slow, slow, slow charging ; Very expensive

“The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is one of the most eye-catching smartwatches available in 2024, and it's a joy to use.”

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em

 

After Samsung announced the $649.99 Galaxy Watch Ultra on July 10th, I saw a few posts floating around on Threads. The gist was the same. Each post had two images: on the one side, there was the Apple Watch Ultra, and on the other, the Galaxy Watch...

Longer battery life than the regular Galaxy Watch ; Double pinch is useful ; Adds dual-frequency GPS and sleep apnea detection ; Cheaper than the Apple Watch Ultra

Where is Samsung in this? ; The squircle chonk doesn’t fit small wrists ; Sleep apnea feature is limited to Galaxy phones ; AGEs metric is baffling

This truly was a bittersweet review to write. I can’t deny the Galaxy Watch Ultra fills a void for Android users who want a smarter Garmin alternative. (For a reasonable price, too.) I can’t fault Samsung for trying something different now that it has...

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

 

Samsung's premium outdoor fitness watch has basic navigation features and measures your metabolism.

Attractive! Accurate. Durable. Advanced health insights like body composition and AGEs index. Has navigation features like Track Back and compass.

Weirdly hard to navigate. Not all features are available on non-Samsung phones. AGEs index is puzzling. Other trackers still have better features, software, and algorithms (for now).

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Review

 

Battery lasts more than a day ; Detailed sleep and health insights ; Customizable Quick Button ; Responsive touch and gesture controls ; Durable titanium build ; Big and bright display

Single bulky size option ; Not suitable for water sports ; Slightly inaccurate sleep time measurements ; Expensive

Although it's pricey, the highly customizable Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra provides the enhanced durability, tracking abilities, and AI-based recommendations that serious athletes and adventurers need.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Review: The Best WearOS Has To Offer, Spared No Expense - SlashGear

 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is a top-tier high-end WearOS smartwatch that has one feature the Apple Watch doesn't -- but do you need it?

Premium materials and build quality ; Significantly improved GPS tracking ; New powerful Exynos processor ; Excellent activity and sleep tracking ; Two-day battery life (Decent for a smartwatch used this much)

Considerable Price Point ; Large and bulky with only one size ; Lacking advanced recovery metrics ; AGEs data has potential, but for now, it's confusing ; Two-day battery life (expected more of a device this expensive)
