The 47mm Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra in titanium silver is currently discounted to $499.99, down from $649.99. It features easy-to-swap detachable bands, so you can switch up your style to match your mood. Just a heads up, though: Older Galaxy Watch bands won’t fit this model, which might be a bummer if you’ve already got a collection. But for those who love adventure, the Ultra has a titanium body, an AMOLED screen that is said to stay bright even in direct sunlight, and military-grade durability that can handle just about anything—whether you’re tackling high altitudes, shallow waters, freezing temps, desert heat, or dusty trails. However, if you’re planning on intense water sports or deep dives like scuba diving, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 might be better suited for those needs.
The Galaxy Ultra is packed with health-tracking features that monitor everything from your heart rate and skin temperature to sleep stages and blood oxygen levels to provide you with an easy-to-understand energy score based on your overall fitness and sleep quality. You also get access to advanced health tools like ECG and body composition tracking, which adds a lot of value if you’re serious about staying on top of your health metrics. Plus, for fitness buffs, it tracks your workout routes and challenges you to beat your personal best. However, it does have its limits—it only works with Android phones, particularly those running Android 11 or later. Some of the more advanced features, like snoring detection and AI wellness insights, also require a Samsung phone, so iPhone users (and even non-Samsung Android users) might miss out on some perks or not get the full experience, according to this PCMag review.
Setting up the Galaxy Watch Ultra is reportedly pretty smooth, but you’ll need Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable and Health apps to access all the tracking features and insights. You can customize the watch directly from the device or through the Galaxy Wearable app. Battery life is decent, with Samsung claiming up to 60 hours, though in reality, it tends to last closer to 46 hours, depending on your usage. In comparison to similar models, this watch stands out for its durability and advanced health features, but if you’re not someone who’s going to push the watch to those rugged limits, the Galaxy Watch 7 (at $231.95, down from $299.99), could be a better fit.
