Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2

Schlanker, schneller, mehr Ausdauer: Die Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 von Samsung will wieder etwas Schwung in die Welt von Wear OS bringen. Ob das gelingt?

With the release of the Galaxy Watch Ultra2, Samsung took the formula that worked two years ago and improved it: the watch case became thinner, the display brighter, the processor faster, and the battery life longer. There were quite a few changes inside. However, there is no point in rushing to upgrade for owners of the first Watch Ultra, because there is almost no difference on the outside, and their watch still copes with its tasks perfectly. But if you are choosing a sports watch for an Android smartphone, especially from the Galaxy line, and you want flagship materials, a full set of sensors and good battery life, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 now looks like one of the strongest options on Wear OS.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is a powerhouse smartwatch that justifies its high price for outdoor enthusiasts with three-day battery life, a super-bright screen, and scuba-diving durability,

It’s pricey and the regular Galaxy Watch 9 isn’t far removed on features, but the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is still the new king of Android smartwatches for adventurers and outdoorsy types

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is Samsung’s most complete smartwatch yet, combining a dazzling display, excellent health tracking, improved multi-day battery life, and a more comfortable design. Its adventure credentials still fall short of Garmin’s, while the price and software bloat are difficult to ignore, but this remains an outstanding Android wearable.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 builds on its predecessor's unique design by addressing one of its core limitations: battery life. Thanks to a massive 800mAh battery cell squeezed into a slimmer 10.7mm titanium frame—all powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform—the Ultra 2 is a genuine four-day smartwatch. While the lack of a physical rotating bezel or crown remains a missed opportunity for easier navigation, and certain health features stay locked to Samsung phones, its leading 5,000-nit display, stellar heart rate accuracy, and rich Samsung Health metrics solidify it as the Wear OS watch to beat.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is easily the best smartwatch Samsung has ever produced and will appeal to everyone from endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts to casual everyday users who wants to effortlessly keep an eye on their health and wellness.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is a refined, rugged Android smartwatch with standout brightness, GPS and fitness features, though its battery life, Samsung-only tools and generic AI insights hold it back slightly.
