Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is the most powerful and advanced Samsung Galaxy Watch ever made. It is designed to tackle the most extreme outdoor adventures and meet the needs of those looking for high performance, extended battery life, robustness, precise sports and health monitoring, even in the most demanding conditions.
The Trail running function monitors the difference in altitude, the progress of the climb and the impact of the terrain in detail, allowing users to better manage their pace and reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, Nutrition Alert, a new feature in addition to the Sweating feature, provides real-time hydration guidance. By estimating fluid loss in relation to body weight, it offers suggestions on when and how much to hydrate.
Galaxy Watch Ultra2 also supports professional diving activities. Thanks to Ip69K certification, resistance up to 10 Atm and En13319 certification it is not only resistant to dust and water, but is also designed for diving. The smartwatch is able to automatically monitor, in real time, data such as depth and duration of the dive and water temperature, directly from the wrist. Additionally, you can access advanced diving features, including ascent and descent rate monitoring, using the exclusive Diving app for Ultra2, scheduled for release later this year.
