Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 smartwatch 47 mm, LTE, titanium, grey

The round Super AMOLED display measures 1.5″ (1.52″ in the manufacturer's description) with 498 × 498 pixels at 329 ppi. The manufacturer quotes up to 5,000 nits of brightness, so your pace, route and heart rate stay visible in bright sunlight. Sapphire glass covers the screen, and it can stay always on. Watch faces are interchangeable, and on a hike you can set the Compass app as your watch face.

The grey titanium case measures 47.4 × 47.1 × 10.7 mm, weighs 61.5 g and, according to the manufacturer, meets MIL-STD-810H. IP69K means resistance to dust and powerful water jets, while 10 ATM covers swimming. The manufacturer says the Air Pocket Marine Band helps keep your wrist dry; it closes with a double-prong buckle, and bands swap in one click.

According to the manufacturer, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is the first Galaxy Watch certified to the EN13319 standard for dive instruments. The Depth app shows current depth, water temperature and elapsed dive time in real time and supports dives down to 40 metres. The manufacturer also notes that the bright display stays easy to read underwater.

The 800 mAh battery delivers up to 60 hours according to the manufacturer, enough for a long workday plus an evening run. Fast charging tops it up to 40 percent in around 30 minutes. A five-core Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite platform runs the watch, and the manufacturer says apps launch faster and menus respond more smoothly.

With eSIM and 4G support, the watch stays connected even when your phone is at home. The built-in microphone and speaker let you raise your wrist and talk to Google Gemini to check the weather, start a playlist or set a reminder. Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC are on board. The manufacturer also highlights Emergency SOS, which is useful on remote trails.

GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou handle positioning, supported by a barometer and a geomagnetic sensor. In the Compass app you can pin waypoints, record your path and track back to a marked point. On the bike, the watch connects directly to cycling sensors and shows cadence, power and speed alongside heart rate. Strava syncs workouts automatically, and iFIT offers trainer-led sessions.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 suits an Android phone owner who trail runs, hikes, cycles or dives and wants a rugged watch that works on its own via eSIM. The slim titanium case and bright display also make it an everyday watch for anyone who likes a larger 47 mm case.
