Samsung's 2025 Galaxy Watch Ultra has dropped to $471.78, a new low according to price-checking tools, while the 2024 original is $399.99.
Samsung announced the Ultra in the summer of 2024 and refreshed it in August 2025 with double the storage and new color options. Both versions carried a $649.99 price tag at launch, so the newer one is now more than $175 off and the older one $250 off. Amazon's own listing for the 2025 model shows $470.00. The Galaxy Watch Ultra2, which arrived this year, is listed there at $674.99 for the 47mm LTE version. Prices can change without notice.
That last number explains part of the discounting. The Ultra2 costs $25 more than its predecessor did at launch, and the older models now sit well below it. The gap between the two older watches is $71.79. For that, you get 64GB of storage instead of 32GB and the newer colors. Unless you plan to load a lot onto the watch itself, the 2024 model looks like the better value.
The hardware is aimed at outdoor use, which is how it competes with the Apple Watch Ultra. The case is Grade 4 titanium with an IP68 dust and water rating. It is rated to 10ATM (about 330 feet underwater) and to altitudes up to 9,000 meters, and it has a built-in emergency siren. The 1.47-inch Super AMOLED screen is brighter than earlier Samsung AMOLED watches. The 590mAh battery lasts about 60 hours with no power-saving modes and up to 100 hours with them. It comes in one size, 47mm, which will rule it out for smaller wrists.
Those buyers have a cheaper route. The Galaxy Watch 7 is $220, down from $329.99, which is $179.99 below the discounted 2024 Ultra.
