Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent Smartwatch with Great Features I’ve been using Samsung smartwatches for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The design is sleek and modern, with a clear, vibrant display that looks great indoors and outdoors. The battery life is solid, and it easily lasts me more than a day with regular use. What I appreciate most is the smooth integration with my phone—notifications, calls, and messages come through seamlessly. The health tracking features are also very accurate, especially the heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, and workout detection. Overall, it’s a reliable, stylish, and feature-packed smartwatch that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a powerful wearable.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a significant upgrade and easily the best Android smartwatch on the market right now. Samsung nailed the 'Ultra' concept by delivering exceptional premium build quality with its tough titanium case and large, stunning 47mm display. The 3,000-nit screen is incredibly bright and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. The performance is blazing fast thanks to the new Exynos W1000 processor, making the Wear OS experience fluid and responsive—there is zero lag. Health tracking is robust, with excellent features like Sleep Apnea detection and the useful Energy Score providing actionable insights into recovery. The inclusion of dual-frequency GPS and an improved heart rate sensor is great for outdoor adventurers. The only area that prevents a perfect score is the battery life. While it's better than a standard Galaxy Watch, averaging about 2 days of use with all features enabled (like AOD) is good, but falls short of the true multi-week endurance offered by some competitors. Also, at its premium price point, some users might find that the titanium casing is prone to minor dings from everyday bumps. This watch is a massive success for anyone who wants a rugged, feature-packed smartwatch with an unparalleled software experience.

Package Contents Samsung has hit a home run with their Ultra Titanium smartwatch. The watch comes in a well made package with all that you need to get up and running. It comes with a USB-C to smartwatch charger. It's well made and has a flexible cable. It's typical of smartwatch manufactures to include a short charge cable and Samsung isn't any different in this. It would be good to see Samsung include a 6ft. charge cable in the future with their watches, but I expected Samsung to be similar to others by including a 3ft charge cable. I'm happy to see that Samsung has moved forward by using a USB-C cable. Mine came with a grey watchband which matches the grey color that is seen around the outer part of the watch. The silicon band is just soft enough to be comfortable to wear all day and strong enough to endure during exercise and hiking trips for a long time. It has a metal clasp that I expect to be able to take some abuse for yeas of me exercising and mountain bike riding. Construction The first thing I noticed about the watch is it's construction. It is built incredibly well. The watch case is not only super strong, it looks great. Samsung has put a lot of time in designing the watch case to look amazing on the wrist. I have the 47mm version which fits my writs perfectly. It's watch face is large and easy to read. I also like the tick marks around the bezel. I think it adds to the overall look of the watch. It was easy for me to connect the watch band and I didn't have any problems disconnecting the band due to the push button release. The release buttons are metal and blend in with the main part of the watch. There are three buttons on the side of it. The main center button is metal and is somewhat protected due to a raised part of the watch case but unfortunately the buttons to either side of it are not as protected. It would have been nice if it was similar to the center button regard this. It's not that big of a deal as I don't expect to be hitting that part of the watch against anything. Use The touch screen is very bright and clear. The resolution of the screen and brightness stood out to me. It's also very responsive. I didn't have any problems with the touch sensitivity. The watch's batter lasts me around 50 hours. I will be adjusting settings to try to get more hours out of it before having to charge. I really like the brightness of the screen and health app related settings, so I'm not expecting to get a week out of the battery, but I should be able to extend it to 70 plus hours by making a few adjustments. Charging the watch is simple using the included magnetic charger and I feel that it charges quickly. I've used the Ultra watch to track my running sessions and I've worn it out riding my mountain bike. It was comfortable through out the runs and bike rides. While doing that I was sweating and that didn't cause any problems with the watch tracking the sessions. Final Thoughts I like that Samsung has stepped it up with the Ultra Watch. The construction is nothing short of amazing. I like the feel and really like the very bright high res display. I think Samsung has done a great job with the design and construction of it. I had no problems connecting the watch to an Android phone. I would like to see Samsung support connecting to tablets and not just phones, but that isn't going to be a problem for most as most people, like me, will be connecting the Ultra to their phone. I would also like to see the next iteration of the Ultra to have a case that is all metal instead of the perimeter part of the case being plastic. That part of the case, for the version I have, is grey. If I want to change the band and use an orange band or some other color, it will look a bit strange. That wouldn't be a problem if the whole case was metal, but that's a small complaint about aesthetics. Overall, I really like the watch and like to see where Samsung is going with their smart watches.

Love this Watch, its my daily commuter watch and love the look and functionality of the watch. Feels rugged and well built. Plenty of great looking watch faces built in and available to download from the store. changed out the watch band a few times and love how the mechanism works to remove the bands very easy and intuitive. battery life is pretty good as well, I can get at least 2 days on a charge but leave the always on display all the time.

The smart watch offers a durable titanium build, a bright and clear display, and solid battery life that lasts several days. The health and fitness tracking features are comprehensive and reliable, making it great for everyday use and active lifestyles. The user interface is smooth and easy to navigate, and it integrates well with the Android ecosystem. Overall, it's a stylish, high-performance smartwatch that my son loves it.

What a great watch for Samsung phone users! Great watch face options, good health tracking, and seamless integration/hand-off with my Ultra 25 phone. Battery life is better than my Apple Ultra 2, but nowhere near my Garmin Fenix. I use Garmin Fenix for multi-day hikes and my Samsung Ultra for my daily around-town wear. It looks much nicer than the Fenix. The included Google data plan is awesome. Overall, a wonderful smart watch that rivals the the Garmin offerings and, IMHO, blows away the Apple Ultra in functionality and integration.

Trying to capitalize on the “Ultra” name from its competitor aside, the Galaxy Watch ‘Ultra’ is taking the place of the ‘Classic’ from previous generations. Sadly this does not also take the amazing rotating bezel from the classic series. But that would be my only complaint. The screen is amazingly bright and crisp. I’ve had a galaxy watch of one form or another since the Galaxy watch 3. And my favorites have been the classic with its nice large diving watch kind of style and the nice rotating bezel making for easy use when wearing gloves. Sadly that feature as I said isn’t here but we get an even larger screen here and a larger battery as well for longer time between needing to drop it on the charging puck. As pictured I received the Titanium Silver model with its slate gray/blue body and marine band, it really looks amazing. If you’ve owned any Samsung watch from the last couple of years feature wise it’s not all that different here, you still have all the same sports and exercise features, maps and media playback, but with the larger screen replying to messages on device is much easier with its full keyboard and swipe typing capabilities. A 3rd button joins the 2 familiar buttons from before with this new one being partially programmable for different features, from exercise selection, a flashlight (turns the face white and ramps the brightness to max, kind of handy with how bright the ultra can get, an instant water lock button if you swim often, or a stop watch for those that run laps, or do other competitive timed events. I myself am not a big fitness freak, one look at me could tell you that, but I appreciate the reminders to get up and move around because my job has me at a desk for most of my day, and the little buzz is a good reminder to go stretch my legs and move for a bit. Keeps you from getting sore when stuck in an office. My favorite feature of all however is GPS and navigation. I ride motorcycle and don’t really care to have my phone on a mount on the bike because If something goes bad on a ride, I rather not also have to replace a $1000+ phone on top of medical bills and bike repairs, so I use my watch for gps navigation. Also it keeps the oled screen of the phone safe in a pocket from direct sunlight. I can just wear the watch face on the inside of my wrist so it’s facing down while I ride, but I can quickly turn my wrist to check the map, and the turn by turn instructions can go to my earbud via Bluetooth. And since the whole watch is cellular connected I can easily just leave my phone behind altogether if I don’t need to for wherever I am going because I am still connected and reachable. I’d dock points for copying the name, but honestly the moment the competitor chose that name I knew Samsung would do it too, they both keep taking each others ideas year after year. This is no different, but with Samsung even if you don’t decide to fork over the extra money for this model you get most of the features aside from the action button in the others this year. Just a little smaller screen and less battery. If your using an android, and want a watch for fitness or fun, or just to be able to leave the phone behind to keep yourself from doomscrolling TikTok the Samsung watch is a great choice.

Samsung has taken a whole new design to their watch series in this release from the traditional “rounded” style to the alternative “square” styling. This new look is aggressive and moves Samsung into the non-conservative look. While this look is designed for sports and ruggedness, it still pairs really well in a suit and tie in the “Titanium Silver” color as tested. When not in a formal setting, this watch has a number of sporty and gym bound features to support all of the various activities out there. One notable key feature added is the gesture controls and potentially life-saving tools for health-related criteria as a part of it’s bioactive sensor upgrades/changes. While one of these has been available outside of the US for some time now, it is great to see here in the US; noting from my use of a Galaxy Watch Classic 5. This is the Samsung Health Monitor; it does require initial and continued calibration to ensure accuracy to a Pulse Ox/Blood Pressure tool. One highly noted health and safety feature added is the sleep apnea detection helps to record sleep patterns and breathing patterns to pass onto your physician and recommend you to see a doctor if need be. This will not change pre-diagnosed findings in an individual of having Sleep Apnea. This is one of Samsung’s current highly noted goals in tracking your own wellness via a wearable. The ”quick button” is customizable, limited to what Samsung feels is the most important and hopefully this will change in the future in one their next feature updates. AS. Of now, it can be set to default to start your workouts or custom to specific workouts, water lock, flashlight, or stopwatch (not in any particular order). The other buttons are still customizable as well. Energy. So far this watch under heavy use if finding itself to last a little over a day, but the watch does need time to calibrate itself to the user. The watch charger uses the current standard of USB-C to charge itself and rapid charges. Energy Score, refers to YOU, looking at your daily activity, sleep, and heart rate data points, and includes tips on wellness. Currently, I have this setup on one of the recommended service providers tied directly with my phone service and have not had any issues or complaints with connectivity. The watch easily switches to WiFi and Bluetooth connection as needed and when selected to. Rugged. Overall this watch does have added thickness compared to my other Galaxy watches and uses a much wider band with dual pin-holes for closure. The included Marine band fits nicely on your wrist while having sweat release areas to let your wrist breath more easily. There are additional bands to purchase if needed to suit your style, use, and need. Overall, Samsung has a way to keep their watch looking classy while being able to support their user in various ways. I can highly recommend this watch as even during my time with it, there’s always something new to learn from the watch itself, through a tip, my exercise routines, and even my sleep patterns.

This is a great all around watch. Its a little bulkier than previous samsung watches I've owned. It has many functions on it and its my favorite samsung watch I've owned. The battery takes awhile to charge if you let it get down too low. The battery life is fairly decent. I usually go about 2.5 to 3 days without charging it.

I've spent the last few years using a Garmin watch exclusively. Before that the only experience I had with a Wear OS based watch was a Fossil watch and it was a terrible experience. That said, I was pleasantly surprised for the most part with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, but also a little let down at the same time. For starters the build quality on this thing is impeccable. Without pulling up the specs I can tell you that it has an extremely bright display with amazing colors. The body is solid metal with the exception of the ring on the face and the three quick buttons. The band is ok, its neither great nor bad. It could get a little uncomfortable after a while, but it worked really well while working on, having flex as well as holes in it for breathing. It would have been nice if there was a better retention device on it for holding the excess length as it can get flappy, come out of the restraint and just look floppy. The weight of the device is a little on the heavy side, feeling ever so slightly heavier than my Garmin, but nothing you would really notice. The backside of the watch with the sensors extrudes a bit which caused a bit of discomfort over time paired with the weight, and if the watch was not tight enough, it would hit my write bone when moving a lot (running mainly). The problem arises from the fact that there wasn't an adjustment that was just right with this band to keep it just tight enough, but not too tight. For this I would recommend a new wristband. Battery life on this is much better than I thought it was going to be. My previous experience with the Fossil watch had me at less than a full day of battery life. The Galaxy Watch Ultra lasts me 2.5 days on average. In battery saver mode I can make it 5 days (according to the battery metrics, I haven't tried it). That said I did make a tweak to the display settings so the watch face wasn't on all the time, but instead only when I twisted my wrist to look at it. This setting worked very well and only on a few occasions did it not understand I was trying to read the watch. The software for the device is very good. I didn't experience and hitches or slowdowns when using the watch. It just did what I asked it to. It feels very responsive and fluid with the animations. The included Samsung apps are nice, with good apps for tracking your sport activities (walking, running, swimming, hiking, etc), more accurate steps/stair monitoring (it was comically bad on my Garmin), and a plethora of health apps that I simply lack the know how to utilize. I will say that the Sleep monitoring app is a little redundant because with the battery life the way it is, you're most likely going to be charging the watch while you sleep, so you're going to missing data every third day. The customization of the watch I feel is a little disappointing though. While it offers a wide range of stock clock faces, I couldn't find one that was just right for me. I ended up settling for the default watch face as it has the most customization available, but it still didn't do what I wanted. As an example, I am in the military and in my job we express direction in mils, but the watch only supports degrees. Same thing with location, where it will give you you're location but only in lat/long while I need MGRS. There was also only 2 watch faces that I could find that had the compass on the watch face itself. Additionally on the customization side, you're very limited on what you can bind your buttons to. That was one of the marketing pushes for the watch with the Quick Action button and the two other buttons. With my Garmin I used the Quick Button to get my location and altitude. I had to download an app to do that from the store, but I found out that I can't bind that app to the button. You also can only bind one action to each button. It gives you the option in the software to be able to set a long press, short press, double press to the buttons, but you can only bind one of those. So say I want a quick press to bring up "My Exercises" but a long press to open up the compass, I can't do that. I feel like that is low hanging fruit for Samsung that would make the watch a lot more accessible for people. Finally on that topic, volume control. There is no easy way to turn up or down your watch while its playing audio. There is the drawer that has sound control, but its on/off and vibrate. If you're in an app that has audio playing, you have to use the app to control the volume level. I found this rather annoying as I would be playing music from the watch and have to get through multiple clicks in order to turn it down when I needed to. I really wish they would have made the ring on the face rotatable so that it could be utlized by apps to various things like volume, or with the compass a means of declination. Overall though I do enjoy this watch and will be replacing my Garmin with it for day to day use. Because of the battery life I won't be able to for my longer field expeditions, but it works great as a daily watch.

The watch has a lot to offer, especially if you're trying to keep track of all of your vitals and workouts. The price was a little high compared to the rest, but I really like to watch. I like how you can change the faces and how they show a lot of information on one face. I also get a lot of compliments on the fluorescent band.

The Samsung Bespoke Galaxy Watch Ultra in Titanium Gray feels like a very well-built watch. The titanium body gives it a premium, sturdy feel on the wrist, and the overall design looks clean and modern without being too flashy. It definitely feels like something that can handle daily use and a bit of rough handling. Feature-wise, it covers pretty much everything you’d expect: fitness tracking, heart rate, GPS, notifications, LTE for staying connected without your phone, and plenty of customization options with watch faces and apps. The screen is bright and sharp, and navigation through the menus is smooth. Overall, it’s a solid smartwatch with excellent build quality and a good mix of smart and fitness features. Not necessarily a “must-have” upgrade if you already have a recent smartwatch, but if you want something that feels premium and durable, this one fits that well.

The construction feels more solid/sturdy from prior galaxy watches i have owned. The ultra model does not have the tactile scroll wheel for the face, which I thought I would not miss but its absence is very noticeable in my day to day use. The battery is larger and lasts longer than prior and current models, has new health features, but so does the classic variant. I have not integrated to an LTE contract, so maybe that will make the watch more functional, but i advise to weigh the pros/cons and use cases in relation to other models, since the quality, build and features of this watch might be a draw for some, but certain functionality of other watch models might be more practical for others. Also there is a restocking fee since this is an LTE model only, so plan to either stick with it or pay the restock fee for a return. I will do the latter but likely consider moving to a different model with a scroll wheel when this watch runs its course. Seems like an odd thing to fixate on but the missing scroll wheel has dramatically changed the way I used to interact with the watch, from answering calls, snoozing/dismissing alarms, moving along various menus/setting screens, setting input values, etc. Still gave the watch a 5 star rating since the build quality and feature improvement is objectively good, and the rest is my own specific, subjective dislikes.

Got this watch to replace my Watch Classic. Major upgrade. The screen is bright and easy to read in bright sunlight. The watch has some weight but is not too heavy to be cumbersome. I love the "oversized" look of the watch face and the general aesthetic of the design. I opted for the white band which compliments the darker watch bezel design that I ordered. Flipping between apps and screens is very snappy. I am able to get several days on a charge using factory watch face settings. I am still using the factory watch face. I tested the apnea feature. The feature requires two nights of solid data, but it took me three nights to get the data. The first night I didn't wear the watch high enough on my arm (too close to the wrist). This is clearly shown in the instructions, but I wanted to test it out being that it is a little uncomfortable wearing it higher on the arm. Luckily you only need to do it for two nights. It did detect that I have mild apnea (which I suspected I did), so I am going to wait a month and test again. Once you get usable results from the test, the watch turns the feature off so you will have to re-enable if you want to test again. Overall I am extremely happy with this watch.

Health & Fitness: Offers comprehensive tracking including body composition, ECG, sleep apnea detection, and advanced running metrics. While accurate, some reviews note that serious athletes might find the battery life limiting, as it often requires daily charging (roughly 30-40 hours).

Original price tag of $650 is too expensive, but it was on sale of $399 at the time of purchase. Great deal to buy. I had 5 year-old Samsung Watch. I need to replace this one. This Galaxy Watch Ultra provides good health tracking, bigger screen with more information, and perfect water resistance, enough battery life. And orange color band is a hitch. Love it, but I can tell it is worthy when it is quite on sale.

I have used various smart watches in the past from Samsung, Apple and Google and this is the best I've used on the Android side that's for sure. This is an LTE connected smartwatch which means you can sign up for a cell plan which connects to your phones plan so you can leave your phone at home and take it out and have service for phone calls, texts and GPS for like Location services without bringing your phone with you. This is a 47mm case which I find a tag big I prefer a smaller watch like the pixel watch but I like the durability of it so it's a trade off. Specs Sapphire crystal glass Samsung Exynos W1000 SOC Titanium frame 32GB of storage 2GB ram I have used other recent watches with older Exynos chips and the battery life was mediocre. After using this for about 5 days I can tell this will last longer. As far as performance goes it's snappy. I am using the default watch face but there is plenty to choose from in the Galaxy gear app. I am using this with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This watch can detect workouts fairly quickly and end them quickly as well which is nice if you don't start one manually. There is also a new action button as well which I set up to start walking exercise workout and that's great they added it. As far as workout monitoring and etc I find it accurate enough no complaints

The Galaxy Watch Ultra has exceeded my expectations during the time that I’ve been wearing it. Its case is visually appealing, and the contour fits comfortably on my wrist. The placement of the buttons is perfect, making it easy to navigate through the watch’s features. The digital bezel allows for smooth scrolling and quick access to various functions (making one certain button useless). And battery life, when working right, is nothing to scoff at. Overall, my experience with the watch has been overwhelmingly positive. Let’s get into what I want to highlight. The design of the watch case is aesthetically pleasing. At 47mm, its large pebble shape takes up nearly my entire wrist. Despite the size, the display resolution is perfect. Not only does it enhance the visual appeal but also provides a comfortable, ergonomic fit. I wear it all day and night with no discomfort. Its titanium housing is unbeatable, but it comes at a premium cost. And although I’m not a huge fan of the band design, it is durable, and I appreciate how easily the bands snap into the case, making it convenient to switch them out. Taking the band off my wrist is a minor annoyance, as the prongs (yes, two prongs) sometimes don’t like to let go. The battery power of this watch is great with its 590mAh capacity. With power-saving mode off, I’ve had it last nearly 60 hours, which is great for me because I’m not too interested in having to remove, charge, and attach the watch each day. However, sometimes encounter an issue with potentially some background processes. It seems the watch’s battery life can vary, lasting either two-and-a-half days or less than twelve hours. I’ve experienced both. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is quite resilient. Its titanium build is hardly beatable. Also note that it has a 10ATM rating, which allows it to be used in various water situations such as showering and swimming for 10-30 minutes, depending on the water pressure or depth. I've had no issues in these situations. The action button on the watch is a new feature and could have been useful with different input types, but Samsung seemed to have dropped the ball here. You can only assign four functions to the action button: Samsung Health (although you can set the exercise), stopwatch, flashlight, and water lock. This limitation makes the button feel underutilized and barely saves me any time, and so I’ve found little use for it. As for LTE capability, it is largely useless to me personally. Unless you don’t keep your phone with you or have a significant distance between you and your phone during workouts or exercises, you won’t find much use for it. It’s nice to have the option, but it’s not a necessity. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is certainly impressionable. Its battery life is strong but sometimes inconsistent, and I would recommend fine-tuning all the features if you want to maximizing battery life. The action button’s limited functionality feels underdeveloped, and LTE is nice but not a necessity. Overall, my experience has been very positive, and, despite a few drawbacks, I fully intend to continue using this fantastic watch.

I'd been running the Watch 5 Pro for a few years and loved it, but lately it was draining faster and just slow to respond between pages. I noticed that some of my overnight statistics like O2 didnt seem right, and decided to upgrade to this Ultra to see if the sensors were really that much better. I'm getting much more accurate sleep statistics, O2 sensing appears to be much more stable (and above 90 everynight) The user experience, page/app switching is much faster than the 5 Pro. The battery life with GPS, wifi and bluetooth, no Always on Display, but a face with a compass on is around 2.5->3 days, might be better with a watch face with less complications. I was worried that it was going to look too big and bulky as I have cyclists wrists, but it doesn't look too big and you certainly dont feel any bulk. Even though the watch is bigger than the 5 Pro, you notice it a lot less, it is quite comfortable. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger and don't look back. I absolutely love my Ultra.

Great Watch, but watch requires third party app for the temp sensor, when watch was bought, I thought it was a thermometer type sensor but recently realized it's a sensor for skin/object temps. But overall, it's a great watch and was worth it.
