68. 2:26same overall concept as its predecessor,
69. 2:29while introducing several important

97. 3:26Classic series is the more premium
98. 3:28alternative to the standard Galaxy Watch
99. 3:30models. Its main feature is the physical
100. 3:32rotating bezel around the display, which
101. 3:34can be used to navigate through menus
102. 3:35and apps. Classic models also have a
103. 3:37design that more closely resembles a

124. 4:23features for tracking sleep, heart rate,

149. 5:16Samsung's top-of-the-line smartwatch
150. 5:18lineup, designed mainly for sports,
151. 5:20[music] outdoor activities, and users

154. 5:25classic models, the Ultra features a

171. 5:59resistance, twice the 5 ATM rating of
172. 6:01the standard Galaxy Watch models.
173. 6:04Inside, you get the same Exynos W1000,
174. 6:06built on a 3-nm process that was
175. 6:08introduced with the Watch 7, alongside 2
176. 6:11GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. The
177. 6:14battery, however, is considerably larger
178. 6:16at 590 mA hours, designed for longer
179. 6:19workouts and outdoor activities. The
180. 6:21Ultra also features dual frequency GPS
181. 6:23for more accurate location tracking,
182. 6:25while its rugged construction is
183. 6:27designed to handle a wider range of
184. 6:28temperatures and altitudes. In 2025, the
185. 6:32Galaxy Watch Ultra received a refreshed
186. 6:34version that remains almost identical to
187. 6:36the original model, but doubles the
188. 6:38storage from 32 to 64 GB, and introduces
189. 6:41a new titanium blue color. The Galaxy
190. 6:44Watch Ultra 2 is the second generation
191. 6:46of the series and keeps the same overall
192. 6:47concept and 47-mm size, while improving

194. 6:52[music] battery life. One of the biggest
195. 6:54changes is the new Snapdragon Wear Elite
196. 6:56processor, also used in the Watch 9
197. 6:58generation. It is [music] paired with 2
198. 7:00GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The

202. 7:10improved [music] with 10 ATM water

209. 7:25and fitness index, alongside the
210. 7:27existing features for sleep, workout,
211. 7:29and recovery tracking.
212. 7:31So, the main differences between the
213. 7:33three series come down to how they are
214. 7:35designed and the type of user they are
215. 7:36made for. The standard models are
216. 7:38designed for everyday use. They come in
217. 7:40smaller sizes, are thinner and lighter
218. 7:42while still offering most of the
219. 7:44important health, fitness, and
220. 7:45connectivity features. The Galaxy Watch
221. 7:47Classic offers largely the same
222. 7:49experience, but with a more premium and
223. 7:51traditional design featuring a rotating
224. 7:53bezel. The Galaxy Watch Ultra takes
