Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 review: The new standard for smartwatch battery life
With its bright display and battery life, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 hits the sweet spot for smartwatch hardware.
Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is setting a new standard for smartwatch battery life, offering major improvements in battery longevity and performance. The Ultra 2 boasts a 1.52-inch display with a brightness of up to 5,000 nits, compared to the original Watch Ultra's 3,500-nit max. The watch is lighter and slimmer than its predecessor and Apple's latest Watch Ultra 4, weighing just 61.5 grams and measuring 10.7mm thick.
It comes in a single size, 47mm, and has a unique squircle design that sets it apart from circular smartwatches. Samsung's Dynamic Lug System for watch bands is still in use, offering limited options for bands. The Watch Ultra 2 has a substantial battery capacity of 800mAh, up from 590mAh in the original Watch Ultra, and it delivers impressive battery life of over three days with mid-to-light usage.
It is also completely dust-proof and water-resistant with a 10 ATM rating, making it diving-friendly. Despite some navigation challenges and plain app icons, the Watch Ultra 2 feels like a significant upgrade in smartwatch battery life.
