It’s the year of the Galaxy Watch redesign. With the new Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, announced today, Samsung is taking what people love about its watches and making them even better. The company has been doing this for the past few generations of its watch line, but this year’s update seems to be more focused on addressing Samsung’s weaknesses. As such, battery life and protection.
The Ultra 2, which is now $50 more expensive at $699.99, gets a few problems. The 47mm watch has a larger 800mAh battery – a massive 35 percent increase from the 590mAh battery in the original Ultra. I got about 70 hours on the original Ultra, so I’m curious to see how the battery boost translates to everyday use. I was worried that a bigger battery would require a chonkier watch, but surprisingly the case is 12% smaller, weighing 10.7mm. The standard cable is also 1mm thinner at 1.9mm, and slightly softer to the touch.
