Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 50mm, the Samsung Galaxy Watch - 46mm · Golf Edition is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 48mm, where the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra starts to hang over the edge. Above 50mm both sit cleanly, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra gives you more presence.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch - 46mm · Golf Edition wears larger than the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (49mm vs 47.4mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is the slimmer of the two (12.1mm vs 13mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra feels lighter (60.5g vs 63g, case only).
The Samsung Galaxy Watch - 46mm · Golf Edition is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 27 49mm watches in the database.
