I got a few minutes with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra at the weekend and was overall surprised at how well build it is. It is huge, a square case with a round dial is daft, but it is solid and the software felt extremely fluid.
Obviously calling it ‘Ultra’ is embarrassing and there are many similarities to the Apple offering (see the strap above), but Samsung has done well here.
No cellular is a downer and only allowing it to work on Samsung phone is an odd choice (yes I know Apple does the same), however, there is something very ‘watchy’ about the Ultra. It actually feels like a watch. Well done.
