If you use a Samsung Galaxy device, and especially if you’re deeply invested in the Galaxy ecosystem, sticking with Samsung Keyboard is an easy way to improve your productivity. You get a cross-device clipboard, better keyboard customization, and superior multi-word predictive typing.

It’s very durable, packed full of health and fitness features, has just enough to push it past a non-adventure smartwatch’s capabilities, and the screen is superb. However, the tradeoff comes in the large, often ungainly overall size. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2's biggest problem is the Galaxy Watch 9. It also has almost the same health features, plus an identical processor and software, but costs less and will suit more people. It should be the model you look at first, before considering the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, unless you really will ma
