Thanks to Samsung Malaysia, I had the opportunity to get my hands on the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra! As a user of both, here are 5 reasons why I love my Galaxy Watch Ultra as much (if not more) as my Automatic watch!
The review units provided by Samsung Malaysia for the Members Stars to provide firsthand user reviews and also diagnose any errors that users may come across.
1. Its Look is Fully Customizable
From Watch Faces to straps, the Galaxy Watch Ultra gives you the option to customize it to your needs. You can match outfits, change your watchface styles, or even change out the bright colored straps with ease (the best Galaxy Watch yet, in terms of strap replacement convenience).

The Titanium Grey Watch Ultra with its default orange band and also the black trail band.
2. The Battery
I used to dislike smartwarches due to its battery life. Aside from brands like Garmin (which isn't a full-fledged smartwatch), most smartwatches require at least a charge or two within a day. However with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, I'm consistently getting >48hrs of battery life which is really impressive!

100% to 5% after 50 hrs of use!
3. Durability
Anyone who knows my career understands that I'm actually a Civil Engineer who's based on site. And what does that mean? Dust, rain, rough surfaces and heat! However after more than 3 months of wear, the Galaxy Watch Ultra had shown NO signs of wear.
I would never treat my Automatic watch the same way I treat this Titanium and Sapphire Crystal beast.

4. Feature Packed
From setting alarms, picking up calls on your phone, to sneakily viewing work messages without going into the app inside your phone. The Galaxy Watch Ultra also carries some very useful safety features such as the:

5. Samsung Health
The main reason to own a smartwatch is probably its health monitoring features! The Galaxy Watch Ultra records my step count, measures my heart rate continuously, detects my sleep quality, and even provide guidance on my energy scores.

Samsung Health features with lots of information and metrics available.
You can also use it to track your workout history and measure your workout gains!
Track your gains and improve your performance!
The best part is, these are just the tip of the iceberg!! The watch camera control features and media control when listening to media using my Buds3 Pro is also something an automatic watch can never do. Feel free to check out my others posts on how these features work!
So the million dollar question here is - Smartwatch or Automatic? You decide laa.
