- Watch died or reset to factory settings around two years
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2

Questions and answers
- Which is better for running and hiking?
- The Versa 4 covers running, hiking and 40+ modes with built-in GPS and a light build. The Ultra 2 adds trail-ready tracking and tougher 10 ATM, IP69K protection, so it suits rough terrain better.
- Which lasts longer on a charge?
- The Versa 4, at up to 144 hours. The Ultra 2 runs up to 80 hours with always-on display off and 60 hours with it on.
- Is the Ultra 2 worth the extra money?
- Only if you want LTE calling, a big AMOLED screen and titanium toughness. For steps, heart rate and GPS, the Versa 4 does the job for far less.
- Can I make calls from either watch without my phone?
- Only the Ultra 2, and only with an LTE carrier plan. The Versa 4 is Bluetooth only and shows texts and notifications from a paired phone.
- Which is better for swimming?
- The Ultra 2, rated 10 ATM and IP69K. The Versa 4 is water resistant to 50 m, which covers pool swimming but not diving.
- Which is better for sleep tracking?
- The Versa 4 is lighter and thinner, so it is more comfortable overnight, and it tracks sleep and oxygen saturation. The Ultra 2's 61.5 g case is bulkier on the wrist.
