The vanilla model in Samsung’s flagship smartwatch series strikes the right balance between design and performance.

Swimmers can track strokes, laps, and SWOLF, and divers can turn Ultra 3 into a recreational dive computer with Oceanic+.

A full charge lasts up to 42 hours in regular mode and 72 hours in Low Power Mode.
