Samsung has launched its premium smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. This model comes in a single 47mm size with both Bluetooth and LTE connectivity, priced at $699.99, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
The watch retains its distinctive "cushion" shape, a blend of a rounded-square bezel and a circular watch face, which fits well on larger wrists. It is slightly thinner than the previous generation but marginally heavier, and features redesigned bands with air pockets for improved comfort.
Its 1.52-inch Super AMOLED display sees minor improvements, boasting a 498x498 resolution. The most significant upgrade is screen brightness, leaping to 5,000 nits from 3,000 nits, enhancing visibility in bright conditions and its utility as a flashlight.
Available in gray or titanium silver, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 aims to provide a premium experience without the highest price tag. Despite comfort enhancements, its bulky nature means it is best suited for users with larger wrists.
