The Galaxy Watch Ultra represents what Samsung can do when it takes things up to 11. You’re getting a durable build, a large screen, days of battery life, and impressive features. It’s the watch to get when you want a Wear OS device pushed to its limits.
And there’s no better brand to go with on this wearable ride, with Samsung making some of the best Wear OS devices over the past few years. Perhaps the Achilles heel of the Galaxy Watch Ultra is its monstrous price, coming in at $650.
The discount makes it easier to look at
Of course, even at that price, it’s well worth what you’re getting. However, we like the watch a lot more when you can get it for cheaper. Right now, Woot is offering a substantial discount on the watch, coming in at over 50% off. That means, for a limited time, you can grab the Galaxy Watch Ultra for just $300.
If that price has your attention, the hardware and features that this watch offers will probably seal the deal. You get a large 1.5-inch AMOLED screen, impressive power, and a smooth UI thanks to Wear OS. The case of the watch is built using titanium, which means good durability, along with the watch being lightweight.
However, the watch is on the larger side, coming in just one size at 47mm. The battery life is great, lasting a couple of days for most people. You also get support for LTE, which means you don’t need to have a phone tethered to a device to get notifications. This can be handy if you’re on a run or accidentally leave your phone at home.
In addition to the above, the watch can track all essential health and fitness metrics. Furthermore, the software will only get better over time, thanks to Samsung’s commitment to support the watch for four years. It’s an impressive watch that we found delivered a pretty complete experience. At its current discounted price, it’s a no-brainer.
