Smart watch first, health tracker second
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is a premium smartwatch that truly shines, especially for those that want a full featured smart watch. Before this watch I purchased a Garmin Vivo and a Venu. They were both fine watches but they aren't truly smart watches, they are health trackers with some smart features. This watch is a smart watch first with health tracking as well, just not as good as the Garmins. PROS Durable and Stylish Design: The titanium build feels incredibly robust and ready to handle tough conditions, while still looking sleek and modern. The bright, crisp display is easy to read in any lighting. Smooth Performance: The watch is snappy and responsive, making navigation and app usage a breeze. Long-Lasting Battery: The battery life is a significant improvement over an iPhone watch for example. I found some tutorials online about optimizing the battery and I'm getting about 3.5 days on average. Useful Features: You can program some of the button to quick launch apps. I personally like to do this for the google assistant to set timers, reminders, or to get quick info about something. CONS Bulky: The watch is on the large side compared to a Garmin VivoSport for example. Lacking Health: The watch has something to be desired on the health tracking side. I ended up buying the Hevy app for my workouts. If your primary focus is for health, I would look at Garmins. Read more
