Samsung just had its Unpacked event earlier today in which the company announced its next wave of Galaxy products that’ll be dropping soon. Among them is the follow-up to Samsung’s rugged smartwatch unsurprisingly bestowed the name Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Now that the second generation model is right here around the corner, now’s a great time for those who had waited patiently to go pick themselves up the first one. Amazon currently has the first generation Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra going for 8% off. Normally priced at $650, you can now scoop it up for just $599 for a limited time.
Anyone who would rather get their workouts in under sunshine as opposed to fluorescent lights is going to need a smartwatch that does more than display your text messages. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is built for the outdoors, can deliver meaningful data to help you achieve your fitness goals, and has all the everyday essential features you’d expect from a smart device you wear on your wrist.
Rugged Titanium Build
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra comes wrapped in a large and tough 47mm titanium case. It’s built to withstand impacts and scrapes without becoming overly bulky in its form. It’s sleek enough to wear to the office but durable enough to hit the trails with.
The band this particular model comes with is the marine band which is designed to feel secure during all sorts of high-intensity activity and will quickly dry after being in water. As you’d expect from the name, it’s a great option for swimmer or triathletes.
As far as fitness tracking goes, the Galaxy Watch Ultra supports an array of outdoor activities ranging from running to swimming to biking and more. It also can be used to track your physical health throughout the day, providing you with insights regarding your daily movements, heart rate, and sleep quality. You can view a ‘physical readiness’ score which summarizes how ready you are to take on your workout of the day.
When using the watch for running, you can make use of the Running Coach feature which can help guide you with recommended workouts to help you achieve your running goals while analyzing your performance by measuring factors like your age, weight, oxygen levels and heart rate.
Battery life is pretty decent. You can expect the Galaxy Watch Ultra to last you for up to 60 hours on a single charge.
And of course, it has all the smart features of a standard Galaxy Watch, allowing you to receive and respond to text messages or answering a call while leaving your phone in your pocket.
