The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Smartwatch Is Now on Sale for $390.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Watch Ultra in summer 2024 and then updated it last August , doubling the storage capacity and adding new color options. Older versions are known to be heavily discounted, and if the extra storage and color options aren’t important to you, this is a great opportunity to pick up Samsung’s flagship smartwatch at a significant discount. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2024 Bespoke Edition 47mm LTE retails for $389.95 , down from $649.99 at launch. This is the lowest price the watch has ever reached, according to price comparison tools . The Galaxy Watch Ultra is aimed at outdoor and workout use, but it’s significantly less expensive than other premium fitness watches like the Apple Watch Ultra .
The Galaxy Watch Ultra smartwatch excels in one key area: its outdoor features. If you’re an avid hiker or athlete who spends a lot of time outdoors, this is a great choice. Like any good rugged watch, this model is rugged, crafted from grade 4 titanium and rated IP68 for water and dust resistance. It’s also suitable for use at high altitudes (up to 9,000 meters) and can withstand pressures up to 10 atmospheres (approximately 100 meters underwater). A built-in siren will help in case of emergency. The screen is a 1.47-inch Super AMOLED display, brighter than previous Samsung smartwatches with an AMOLED screen. The only drawback is its limited size: 47 mm.
The watch runs Samsung’s WearOS and has 32GB of internal storage. Its 590mAh battery is among the best in its price range, making it ideal for extended outdoor use. Without power-saving modes, the watch will last 60 hours, but with power-saving modes enabled, it can last up to 100 hours.
One of the new features of this watch is AI-powered health metrics and advanced sleep tracking, which you can read more about in our PCMag review, which earned us an “Excellent” rating . If you’re looking for a more affordable and compact option for everyday use, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 for $217 (originally $379.99) is a great choice.
