Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is a rugged smartwatch that introduces a thinner 10.7-millimeter case while increasing battery capacity to 800mAh. Available in a 47-millimeter size, the wearable is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite platform and retains its distinctive squircle case with a sapphire crystal display. Designed for outdoor activities, the smartwatch combines a slimmer profile with enhanced durability and extended battery performance without changing its overall form factor.
The smartwatch is the first Galaxy Watch to receive EN13319 certification for dive instruments, alongside IP69K and 10ATM ratings for water and environmental resistance. It automatically records dive depth, duration, and water temperature, with additional dive tracking features arriving through the Mares app. Priced at $699.99, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 will launch with updated hardware engineered to support outdoor recreation, fitness tracking, and underwater use.
