Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Shane, and today we’re diving into the unboxing and first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. If you’re interested in this watch, I’ll provide some links in the description where you can check it out. The retail price is $650, and it comes in three stunning colors: white, silver, and the gray color we’ll be exploring today. Additionally, there are three band options: the Trail Loop with a softer material, the Marine Loop (included here), and the Peak Form band, which combines soft touch and rubber finish. Each band comes in various colors, including orange, gray, white, and an extra green option for the Marine Loop.

Unboxing Experience

Opening the box, the anticipation builds as we reveal the contents. The first thing you’ll notice is another box within the box, containing the watch band. Finally, we get to our Marine band, which has a silicone finish, perfect for an active lifestyle. The watch itself is perched on top, exuding an air of sophistication with its titanium gray color and orange accents. This initial impression sets a high bar for what’s to come.

Design And Build Quality

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is crafted from titanium, making it both lightweight and durable. The 47 mm watch face is substantial, giving it a bold presence on the wrist. The quick button, not a rotating crown like the Apple Watch Ultra, allows for easy access to your preferred functions. The band connection system is intuitive and secure, with a satisfying click that ensures the band is firmly in place. The orange accents provide a striking contrast to the gray, making the watch stand out even more.

Features And Specifications

This watch is packed with features. It boasts LTE connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, making it a versatile companion for any activity. The new processor is a game-changer, improving battery efficiency and providing a smoother user experience. No one likes a sluggish smartwatch, and Samsung has addressed this with the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

The Marine band is designed for durability and comfort. It fits snugly on the wrist and can be adjusted for various wrist sizes. The watch’s weight, with the band on, is 92 grams, making it a bit beefy compared to other models. For comparison, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic comes in at 85 grams.

Initial Setup And User Experience

Setting up the Galaxy Watch Ultra is straightforward. After booting up, the watch quickly pairs with your phone via the Galaxy Wearable app. The setup process includes configuring the quick button, which can be customized to perform various tasks, such as accessing exercise metrics, stopwatch, water lock, or even a flashlight.

As a left-handed person, I appreciate the customization options for wearing preferences. The action button is positioned on the right, preventing accidental presses during activities like push-ups. The new AI features, such as the energy score, provide valuable insights into your health, suggesting when to rest or increase activity based on collected data.

Advanced Features And Functionality

The Galaxy Watch Ultra offers sleep tracking, including advanced features like detecting sleep apnea. The suggested replies feature allows for quick responses to messages, and the new pinch gesture controls make interacting with the watch more intuitive.

Emergency options have been enhanced, with a new siren feature for alerting others in case of danger, fall detection, and SOS services. These features provide peace of mind, especially during outdoor activities or when traveling alone.

User Interface And Performance

Navigating the Galaxy Watch Ultra is a breeze. While it lacks the physical rotating bezel of previous models, the touch navigation along the edge of the display is smooth and responsive. The quick panel provides easy access to various modes, such as sleep, theater, driving, exercise, relax, backup service and work. The settings menu offers a range of customization options, from battery saver mode to always-on display toggles.

The flashlight feature, configured to the quick button, is incredibly handy. The watch’s brightness is impressive, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight or under harsh studio lighting. Connectivity options include Bluetooth for pairing headphones, location toggles, and the find my phone feature.

Comfort And Wearability

Despite its size, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is surprisingly comfortable. The rectangular design and the way the band attaches create a gap that reduces pressure on the wrist. During workouts, including my daily 500 push-ups, I experienced no discomfort or wrist fatigue. This comfort factor is a significant improvement over previous large smartwatches.

Battery Life And Efficiency

Battery life is a crucial aspect of any smartwatch, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra does not disappoint. Starting at 70% battery after setup, nearly a full day later, it had only dropped to 40%. This suggests a battery life of about three days with all features enabled, including the always-on display. For those who prefer extended battery life, disabling the always-on display could potentially extend it to a week.

Comparison And Final Thoughts

Comparing the Galaxy Watch Ultra to previous models, such as the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, highlights the improvements in comfort, performance, and battery efficiency. The new processor and user interface enhancements make this watch a pleasure to use. The design, initially perceived as bulky, grows on you, with its titanium gray color and orange accents adding a touch of elegance.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a worthy competitor to other high-end smartwatches, offering a blend of style, functionality, backup service and advanced features. Its robust build quality and intuitive interface make it a standout choice for those seeking a reliable and feature-rich smartwatch.
