Analyst Urges 5 Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Upgrades, Including Lower Price From $649

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jun 2

Summary

  • Five changes top the wishlist for Samsung’s expected Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, with battery life framed as the biggest dealbreaker for upgrading.
  • Just under 3 days of endurance on the current Ultra no longer stands out, the report says, as Google’s 45mm Pixel Watch 4 can approach 3 days and Garmin adventure watches last a week or more.
  • Heart-rate accuracy during rapid changes, a possible redesign, and broader health-feature access beyond Samsung phones were also cited as critical gaps for a premium fitness watch.
  • At $649, the current model is seen as overpriced unless Samsung either cuts the price or adds a cheaper Bluetooth-only version rumored for the next launch.
  • The critique comes as rumors build toward a summer return for Samsung’s rugged flagship, with competitors pushing ahead in health tracking and overall polish.
