Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a> was named to Fast Company\u2019s fourth annual Next Big Things in Tech<\/a> list, honoring emerging technology that has a profound impact across industries. As Samsung\u2019s flagship smartwatch, Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a> is the latest step in Samsung\u2019s holistic wellness vision to help users better understand their health and give them the tools they need to meet their goals.<\/p>\n

Designed with groundbreaking durability enhancements to offer peak performance even under harsh outdoor conditions, Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a> features a Titanium Grade 4 frame1<\/sup><\/a> and 10ATM water resistance.2<\/sup><\/a> Its new cushion design builds on the iconic circular face of Galaxy Watch while helping to protect the display in extreme situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning a Next Big Things in Tech award is a recognition of how Galaxy Watch Ultra has raised the bar for mobile innovation,\u201d says Drew Blackard, Vice President of Mobile Product Management for Samsung Electronics America. \u201cThis is the first-generation Galaxy Watch Ultra, but it builds on the entire legacy of the Galaxy Watch series as well as the designation of Ultra \u2014 which we reserve for only the most groundbreaking devices.\u00a0Galaxy Watch Ultra certainly lives up to both of these iconic standards by offering a powerful and intuitive experience, enhanced by AI, for next-level health and fitness tracking.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, 138 technologies developed by established companies, startups, or research teams are featured on the Next Big Things in Tech list for their potential to revolutionize the lives of consumers, businesses, and society overall. Each is reaching key milestones to have a proven impact in the next five years.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Next Big Things in Tech provides a fascinating glimpse at near- and long-term technological breakthroughs across a variety of sectors,\u201d says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. \u201cSpanning everything from semiconductors to agricultural gene editing, the companies featured in this year\u2019s list are tackling some of the world\u2019s most pressing and vexing problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
