In all the years Samsung has complemented its flagship smartwatch with some kind of secondary model, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is probably the most exciting one yet. It takes the company's core smartwatch features and elevates them with a rugged look, longer battery life, quick button and more. Though Samsung watch fans might lament the lack of a physical rotating bezel on a $649 timepiece, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is a suitable answer to the Apple Watch Ultra overall.
Now, there's no denying Samsung drew heavily on the Apple Watch Ultra's success for its own Ultra watch. There are several design elements and features that are borrowed, but there are some ways Samsung tried to make it special. For example, the Galaxy Watch Ultra comes in three color options, including a Titanium White finish that I am simply enamored by; however, there are some peculiar limitations you won't find on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or other premium sports watches, for that matter.
