One other thing the Galaxy Watch Ultra does differently

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is unlike other Samsung smartwatches in more ways than one. It has a unique design that none of its predecessors have tried before, focusing more on outdoor adventures and exploration.

One other thing the Galaxy Watch Ultra does differently is that it doesn't stray even one bit from its core identity. With this smartwatch, what you see is what you get, and there are no compromises — unless you count Wireless PowerShare as one.

Samsung's first LTE-only smartwatch

Excluding limited and special-edition versions of previous Galaxy Watches, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is Samsung's first smartwatch to be offered exclusively in a Bluetooth / Wi-Fi + LTE configuration.

Other smartwatch models are available in Bluetooth + Wi-Fi-only and lack LTE. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is LTE-only, and it is one of the reasons why it has a higher starting price than other models. It's also why the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a more outdoorsy feel than other models, and why it's the perfect Watch for people who want to push limits and explore.

In keeping with the theme, there are also no extra options for sizes. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is offered only in a 47mm configuration. And, fun fact: even band sizes are pre-defined. There's only one size that fits all. It's as if everything has been reconsidered to simplify choices, and the only options buyers get are colors and band styles.

All in all, it seems as though the Galaxy Watch Ultra knows what it is and what it is not and follows its core vision to a tee. It's a no-nonsense kind of wearable, and the feeling of confidence it exudes might be one of the more appealing things about it.

If you want a Galaxy Watch Ultra, you can pre-order one now and benefit from exclusive offers, such as bundle deals, enhanced trade-in values, and a free Trail band worth $79. Hit the button below for details. The pre-order window closes on July 24.
