Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Overview

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is a beast of a smartwatch. The build quality seems excellent, it’s packed with outdoor-focused features, and promises to be great for casual adventurers and serious Samsung fans alike. It’s unlike any Samsung Galaxy Watch before it, but very much like a certain other watch with Ultra in the name...

Hands on: Behind the derivative design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra lies a smartwatch that brings much-needed pedigree to the Samsung and Wear OS smartwatch line-ups. With a good price point, it’s a grown-up smartwatch for the fitness-oriented Android crowd.

Hands on: The Galaxy Watch Ultra seems just more premium enough than the Galaxy Watch 7 to justify the higher price. Between the athletic design and longer battery life, the Galaxy Watch Ultra may truly be the Apple Watch Ultra for Samsung users.

By Tom's Guide on July 10, 2024

Hands on: At the end of my hands-on, neither the Galaxy Watch 7 nor the Ultra blew me away. In each case, I hadn’t really seen anything truly new. But, that’s also my reviewer privilege speaking. Of course I wish the Galaxy Watch Ultra felt a bit more unique — at least in terms of design — but it’s like I said: there wasn’t really an Apple Watch Ultra equivalent for Android. Now there is. So long as Samsung’s Ultra holds up in testing, that’s ultimately a good thing.

Hands on: Like the Apple Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Watch Ulta has a night mode for readability in the dark without blasting blue light in your face. Its peak brightness is 3,000 nits in direct sunlight. I wore the device while snapping photos, and it felt more comfortable than I imagined.

By Gizmodo on July 10, 2024

Hands on: The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a clearer upgrade, particularly if you’re looking for a more durable model for outdoor adventures. It can’t quite compete with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in terms of specs, but it definitely beats it in price.
