What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a tough, well-made titanium watch with a useful Quick button, plenty of features and longer battery life than the regular Galaxy Watch. The common criticisms are its large size, a design that closely follows Apple's Watch Ultra and features that need a Samsung phone; TechRadar still wanted more battery life and Tom's Guide found performance no better than the cheaper Galaxy Watch 7.
