The updated design is certainly one of the main reasons why you should consider upgrading to this smartwatch. It's lighter and thinner than the model it replaces, which makes it a lot more comfortable to wear.
You also get a display on the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 that's not only larger than its predecessor but at 5,000 nits peak brightness, it's also the brightest display available on any smartwatch.
Samsung has also upgraded to Qualcomm's Snapdragon wearable chip for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, which is a considerable upgrade over the previous Exynos chip. The performance is astounding which further helps improve the overall user experience on Samsung's most capable smartwatch.
