The Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung's most tough smartwatch to date, talks the talk... but does it walk the walk? To confirm if the timepiece is as durable and rugged as advertised, a man took it to Peru. Not for a walk in the park. For a military training program.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra underwent testing during the Peruvian Navy's Special Operations Course, with tech content creator Phillip Chu Joy participating in the demonstration. Chu Joy, who maintains a significant digital presence with over 290,000 YouTube subscribers and more than a million followers on both Instagram and TikTok, was recognized by Forbes as one of Peru's Top 10 Influencers in 2023.
The testing process was documented in videos published on both Chu Joy's and Samsung Peru's YouTube channels. The device was exposed to various environmental conditions including water, mud, and sand throughout the military training exercises. It's rugged, so you shouldn't pamper the thing.
