I Change it with with ultra 1 and so far it is pretty good watch. Battery life is great compared to any previous android based samsung watch i ever had. Only con for me is very slow charging that takes more than 100 minutes!
Squircle with square body and round display even today looks odd.. should have square display to increase screen estate.. why are there no square display android wear os watches?

Worst watch for training.

For me it is charging with the charger of the Galaxy Watch 6
There is a big CON about this watch. The buttons are not able to control the ui during exercise session like start, stop pause, lap, scroll stats,..etc when you wear gloves, environment is wet or hands are wet. The main reason of having buttons on a watch is to have controls during workouts, not to trigger smart functions. At least, there must be an option to customize the buttons during workouts. This is not mentioned in many reviews. Ultra is a sports oriented model for sure.
Having the watch for about 4 days and so far so good.
Looks nice, not that big. Band feeling good. With GPS and initial installations and testing it lasted two days and a night. Without GPS it should be around 4 days. Display very bright, touch sensitivity great. Plenty of health and other functions, still a lot of things to explore.
Anonymous, 08 Aug 2026Pixel Watch is probably the most precise WearOS one by a mile.Fact. If only the battery lasted at least a week.
What, 07 Aug 2026What about oneplus watch 4? Isn't it a good alternative? To anyone who has it, what'... moreIf you only look for a Bluetooth/WiFi only SmartWatch, yes. But if you want a LTE WearOS SmartWatch to basically replace your smartphone from time to time, this is by far the best candidate due to its above average battery life.

Had apple watch and on LTE is lasted barely 15 hours while same use BT/wifi was a whole day for me.
My current Galaxy Watch 6 dies before dinner on LTE while it lasts me 1,5 day on BT/wifi.
I cancelled my LTE watch sub because of that, all of then suck at it and its more of a novelty to have cellular on the watch, than it be usable.
"ECG, irregular heart rate, sleep apnea risk and blood pressure measurements work only with Samsung phones."
Sideloading apk solves that
But you shouldn't have to go that route.
In your tests, was the watch connected to a network? I got mine, and I'm getting 24 hours right now with similar settings...pretty disappointed in the battery life at this time
Don't care much about smartwatch features.
They better improve the battery life to last at least a week and measurements/tracking precision to match the Apple watches.
Why no one reviews the eSIM capability and its battery impact?
