Galaxy Watch Ultra Hands-On: Rugged Design with Sleep Apnea Detection for $650
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the biggest shake-up of Samsung\'s smartwatch line we\'ve seen in years. It\'s not only the most expensive Galaxy Watch ever at $650, but it has a bold new look, sleep apnea detection and some promising workout tools. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, unveiled Wednesday alongside the new Galaxy Ring, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Watch 7, brings many of the Apple Watch features to the world of Android smartwatches at Samsung's Unpacked event.
The design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra is quite polarizing, and unlike the regular Galaxy Watch 7, it won't fit all wrists. Ultra married the classic round screen of Samsung in a square 47 mm case. After watching it personally and playing for an hour, I was still not sure of the feeling of designing ultra \ 's \ "squircle \". It doesn't strain my 152mm wrist and feels light thanks to its titanium construction, but it's bulkier than similarly sized rugged smartwatches I've worn. I will have to spend more time before making a final decision. . The Mobvo TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro and Google Pixel Watch 2 have plenty of health and wellness features, but they're not positioned as outdoor watches. Garmin's cross-platform watch is designed for outdoor use with long battery life and plenty of fitness tracking tools, but it lacks key connectivity features like built-in LTE. In fact, Apple appears to be the biggest inspiration for Samsung's 2024 Galaxy Watch lineup. The entry-level $200 Galaxy Watch FE has similar features and pricing to the $250 Apple Watch SE. Then the Galaxy Watch 7 of the $ 300 was launched with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Watch 7 has a lot of the same features as a more expensive watch ultra, but looks and the feeling that it is the most similar Galaxy Watch 6. The Watch 7 comes in two sizes and has plenty of health features, just like the $400 Apple Watch Series 9.
The $650 Galaxy Watch Ultra is an outdoor watch with a titanium case, long battery life, and looks similar to the $2,800 Apple Watch Ultra. The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7 can now book. They will be delivered on July 24.
