    This watch has nothing extraordinary in it or about it. It doesn't even worth $300. I don't know why it price is fixed between 419 and 600+. The previous model made more sense.

    One installed app from Samsung installed on my phone made the phone unusable. The watch needs a professional to set up. The sound is too low and gave no way to change the sound volume. I could not add mo/day/date to home screen. Most of the time the watch informed me that service was not possible at this time.

    This watch could be great if the battery lasted more than 10 hours. With AOD off and basic watch face the battery is completely dead in less than a day. It doesnt matter if you wear it or set it on the nightstand it still dies.

    Best Buy’s customer service at the store level has been deteriorating over the past 12 months. In 2008-2012, BB offered abhorrent service and they are returning to their old ways. The item purchased is fine. Best Buy’s service at the store assistant manager and manager levels is poor and disappointing!

    An ultra smartwatch that is distinct

    It was a matter of time before Samsung decided to release a watch that has it all and does it all. I decided to pick up the Galaxy Watch Ultra to have along side the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic that I picked up last year partly because aesthetically it complements the Classic as an activity watch. I know many people have compared this to another large tech company's offering, but this really is a distinct styling. I really like it. First, while it has a square-ish body, the fact that the face is physically round is something I really appreciate. The screen is large and bright, and works really well when I have worn it on hikes. The speed of the interface does feel slightly speedier than the 6 line, although I feel like both are very smooth and except for initializing the watch, I have not experienced any stutter in the interface. The OS is pretty much the same as previous iterations of WearOS on Galaxy. You have notifications to the left, tiles to the right, the app drawer comes from the bottom, and the shortcuts are above. This really is a great set up, and remains that way for me. Intuitive. The Ultra does not have a physical rotating bezel, but I can say the digital bezel on the Ultra feels incredibly responsive compared to the last digital bezel I had, on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. I will say the center physical button on the right hand side of the face is just a button. Had this been a crown that rotated to navigate it would have been a home run. Speaking of this button, it's made to be a specific action button, with a small selection of pre-defined actions you can choose from. For me the only one that makes sense is quick access to the exercise menu. I hope Samsung will expand this list in the future. The other two buttons above and below this action button function the same ways the two buttons have functioned on past models. You can configure these the same ways also. Health sensors seem to be modestly improved from previous models, I had no problem tracking my vitals during hikes, and as a daily wear, it gives me good feedback on heart rate and activity. The Ultra is also configured by default for cellular service. My mobile plan includes attachment of a wearable, so I have been able to use this functionality also. This has come in most handy with hiking. Having been near a cellular tower, I was able to leave my phone behind and just use my Ultra for notifications, directions, and streaming music. This was actually better than I thought it would be. I noticed the battery did get hit harder with this, but I was able to comfortably use my watch with cellular connected for the entire day of hiking. I usually charge pretty regularly anyway, so this didn't bother me. Fortunately I haven't had the need to use any emergency features, but I did test the siren feature, and it is LOUD. So if there is ever a need for detection if lost this thing will help. Overall the Ultra is a solid watch if you have a Samsung phone to pair it with. It won't work with an iPhone easily or directly, and with other Android phones it has some functionality, but is missing features. So consider this device a part of the Samsung ecosystem. Barring that, I wouldn't hesitate recommending the Ultra as a solid activity smartwatch that looks decent, but is definitely for sporty looks.

    Best galaxy watch yet

    I have been wearing this watch for a little over a week now. I wanted to take a few extra days to test out the battery life and some of the health apps. For background information, I currently own a Galaxy 4 and 5 pro watch. Each getting a little better over the previous version. I have not tried a 6 so I will compare to the two that I own. The Ultra looks far better and I believe it is from the squared off edges. The contrast of silvers and gray with the orange main button is a nice touch. Battery life is pretty darn good. I wear my watch about 16 hours a day and I do not charge it at night until I get down under 10%. I have made it over 4 days without charging. The screen is big and bright. Colors are sharp and crisp, font being easily changed to your liking and is very easy to read. Mine came with a gray band, which I prefer, however I am still not a big fan of the band. My wife likes and says the watch looks good. The vibration is on the weaker side, as well. I can feel it and I have no issues knowing which type of notification I am receiving. I just wish it was just a tad stronger. The basic health app does a great job and lets me know when I have obtained my workout or walking goals. Changing your goals is much easier, I feel, on this watch than my previous two. No issues being in the pool, either. I have paired this with the S23 Ultra and it was seamless. One other note is that most of the notifications are turned off for your apps so I had to go back through and reselect them. I guess this could have been avoided by copying my previous watch settings. This is my favorite watch so far, I am very impressed.
