The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is out, but it has a hefty price tag. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is also still on sale, so which rugged watch should you buy?
Samsung ’s Galaxy Watch Ultra is the company’s answer to the Apple Watch Ultra. It’s the new rugged smartwatch offering from Samsung , designed for those who want a little bit more from their everyday smartwatch.
With the Galaxy Watch Ultra, you have a mostly square case that envelops a round display. It’s rather chunky with a 47mm case size, which is the only size it comes in, and it’s 12.1mm thick. On the right side of the case is the watch’s Quick Button, flanked by the back and home buttons. Oh, and don’t forget the bright orange accents like the other Ultra watch on the market.
The always-on Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is 1.4 inches, and it has a 450 x 450 pixel resolution and an IP68 rating. However, while the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has a 5ATM water submersion rating, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a 10ATM rating . With the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, you have heart monitoring, advanced sleep coaching , automatic workout detection, body composition, and cycle tracking — all of which you also get on the Watch Ultra. Samsung will be adding Energy Score and Wellness Tips to older Galaxy Watches, including the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, as long as you have an Android phone that runs Android 10 or higher.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has the Exynos W920 processor, 1.5GB RAM, and 16GB storage. This would mean that it’s significantly slower than the W1000 chip, especially with less RAM and storage. In our original review, we did notice some slowdown with basic tasks like seeing notification information on the screen or it taking several attempts to select a menu item before it registers.
Our review of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro showed that it can be used for around three full days — as long as you only do a 30-minute workout each day — before you need to recharge. But typical use should be at least two full days. Like the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will also have four years of supported updates, which means it will last through 2028 at least.
