jiyen235, 14 Aug 2024Again, why didn't they release an Ultra alongside the ... moreRevisionism hard at work. Apple knew very well that Ultra is a Samsung moniker. They knew very well that orange straps were used on Samsung's "sporty" watches. It looks nice, so they stole it. That doesn't mean you get to claim it as yours, Apple. Stop being weird.

We were promised the Galaxy Watch Ultra would monitor blood glucose levels in an effort to prevent diabetes . But this function is missing and if present none of Samsung's sale teams knows anything about it as they have all denied it.
Can Samsung please throw more light into this

Still using my watch 4 classic. No need to upgrade. I like the rotating bezel and this one is just a shitty copy of the Apple watch ultra

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (LTE, 47mm) (model SM-L705FDAAXAC), and it has been an outstanding addition to my tech collection. Here's an overview of my experience with this smartwatch:Design and Build Quality: The Galaxy Watch Ultra boasts a sleek and robust design. Its 47mm case size offers a bold look without being overly bulky.

That many health features with the hardware would work only with Samsung phones is a major red flag.

Tq, 13 Aug 2024You mean copied itself because that design came out on the ... moreAgain, why didn't they release an Ultra alongside the S20 Ultra, Note20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra or even the S23 Ultra? Why did they release it 2 years after Apple and their main color being the orange one? Samsung has always been bold with their colors yet they chose the one that's closest to the one Apple released with?
Also, what design came with the Gear S3? This phone is a squircle with a circle display. They couldn't make it a square display cus it'd be TOO blatant.

How embarrassing that they had to keep the casing square so it looks like the Apple Watch Ultra but had to use a round screen because Wear OS only works on those. Looks absolutely terrible.

Longer battery life even though it has a much more powerful cpu are good prospects for exynos 2500 in s25

What a major let down by Samsung!
I would gladly have paid the price to update my watch 6 classic. But not with this ridiculous appelish design knock-off. And no rotating bezels. One can only wonder how decisions are made inside this company. To please egos (you get this year and you get the next) or to please costumers and thus profits. The review is far too appeasing, but I guess advertising has to be kept going.

I seriously considered trading my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro for the Ultra. With the trade, this would have cost about $225. I really like a lot about this, but it's a little larger and the pro is big already. The battery life is about the same. I don't use the advanced GPS features and have never had any issues with performance on my existing watch. The other issue for me was the new band style. Even with their throwing in a second band with the purchase, there are a limited variety of bands available. I have a number of bands that I've used with various Galaxy watches over the years and while the new attachment method looks more convenient, I didn't want to have to throw them all away. Even for only another $225, I just didn't see enough of an upgrade to make it worth it.

I found the section dealing with battery very creative lol. At least we know how much juice large corporations have and can spend our hard earned money accordingly. Short term gain/long term pain strategy at its very best.
