The Samsung Galaxy Ultra 2 is almost certainly coming soon, judging by the incredible 45% discount on last year’s model — should you buy now or wait?
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is likely to be launched at this year’s summer Unpacked presentation, which is happening either next month or in August. But even though an Ultra 2 is on the horizon, I’d still get this deal.
How do I know an Ultra 2 is launching? I don’t for sure, but I have some evidence that points in that direction. For one thing, Samsung’s summer event launches its new watches each year, and occurs roughly around this time. For another, an Ultra 2 has been heavily rumored to be part of the 2026 roster refresh.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Ultra (2025) is on sale for just $357.24 at Amazon US (was $649.99), a massive 45% discount. Such a big discount could mean that the Ultra 2 is coming, and Amazon and Samsung are trying to clear old stock. In the UK, it’s also on sale for a smaller but still significant 33% off, at £399 (was £599).

Should you get this deal or wait for the Samsung Galaxy Ultra 2?
Unlike my Garmin Fenix 9 article, in which I recommend not getting the Fenix 8 and instead waiting for the 9 to come out, I actually recommend buying this Ultra deal rather than waiting for an Ultra 2 to arrive.
The 45%-off deal is simply too big a price drop to pass up, taking the AI-powered watch into must-buy territory. It’s never been on offer for anything close to this, and there are no guarantees you’ll get a good deal when the Ultra 2 lands in a month or two.
Besides, the original Ultra launched in 2024 was such a big design choice for Samsung that I’m expecting any changes to be quite iterative and software-focused this time. In which case, last year’s Ultra will already run the latest Wear OS, so I doubt you’ll see much of an improvement over the existing Ultra.
