Where to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event has been hotly anticipated. At the beginning of this year, the brand introduced its Galaxy AI systems, and during Unpacked, it expanded its AI reach into wearable tech. But the real star of the show is all the incoming tech including the Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, Galaxy Ring, and the brand new Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra is the brand’s latest entry in wearable tech, calling it its “toughest watch ever.” The Ultra is built for tough conditions — building off its circular watch face, it’s covered in a layer of aerospace-grade titanium. It can survive depths of water up to 100 meters (the same as the Apple Watch Ultra) and elevations ranging between 330 feet below sea level and 29.5K feet above sea level. Plus it withstands temperatures from -4 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit. All of this comes with superior battery life, running for 48 hours in exercise power-saving mode and 100 hours with daily activities.

In addition to its durable design, the watch is there to offer deeper health insights. With the new Galaxy AI Health system, it offers an Energy Score, a metric calculated through seven different health factors including sleep, activity, and heart rate. Once you get your Energy Score, you can make improvements with Samsung’s Wellness Tips which are personalized recommendations for a better, healthier life.

Noise and motion cancellation are loaded into the watch for more accurate activity measurements. With all your movement data, the watch allows you to race yourself, using prior data when running or biking on daily routes. Plus, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra monitors sleep and is FDA-approved to detect symptoms of sleep apnea — data you can use and act on.
It comes in three different colors: titanium grey, titanium white, and titanium silver. There are a variety of bands to choose from; the marine band is quick-drying and secure, the trail brand is breathable and lightweight, and the PeakForm band is sporty but stylish.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra costs $649.99 and is available for preorder now.
