The 2025 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra sticks close to last year’s model, adding only double the storage and a few fresh color choices.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is on sale for $650 in four color options.
Its display is vibrant and large, the battery lasts through a couple of days, and LTE is provided at no extra cost.
It comes in a single 47mm size, gesture support is limited, and external sensor connections are not supported.
Last year’s Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was my favorite Google WearOS smartwatch, so when I saw the 2025 Watch Ultra with its new blue and orange color scheme that matches my USCG military service colors, I had to buy it.
It turns out that the new color scheme (and twice the internal storage amount) are the only hardware differences between the 2024 and 2025 Watch Ultra models, so if you don’t have a burning desire for the color then look for the 2024 model that may be available at a discounted price.
That being said, there are a handful of new software features with Samsung’s new One UI 8 update, including Running Coach, Google Gemini (available with a press and hold of a button), antioxidant measurements from the heart rate sensor, and vascular load support. 2025 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Samsung’s Watch Ultra gets a new color and twice the storage at the same $650 launch price.
Just note that none of these software features are limited to the 2025 Galaxy Watch Ultra, so there are not many compelling reasons to purchase the latest model.
