It appears Samsung has finally delivered a mostly accurate smartwatch. Sure, it took a decade, but the eagle has probably landed. Mostly. The catch on ‘mostly’ is of course where I’ll spend the most time in this sports and fitness-focused review. Because, as always, there’s nuance to which parts are improved, and which parts are not so hot. All of which will get to the question of whether or not it’s a viable sports watch, and worth the extra cost over the much cheaper Galaxy Watch 7. For those unfamiliar, the Galaxy Watch Ultra aims to take Samsung’s existing watch, and make it more ‘everything’. More battery, bigger size, more buttons, and more features. It added multiband/dual-frequency GNSS, an improved optical heart rate sensor, an emergency siren, and more Of course, before we get too into the weeds, there are countless comparisons to be drawn to the also-orange-tinged Apple Watch Ultra series. Be it name, looks, band, buttons, siren, or more. However, in most ways, these two watches don’t actually compete against each other. They’re both effectively locked into their own phone-based ecosystems (even Samsung now, more so than ever). In most ways, both are directly competent more with Garmin than each other. Yet, it’s still fascinating to see the directions these two massive companies take. With that, note that I bought all these units myself, both the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra as well as Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, and also the Samsung Galaxy Ring. 0:00 Quick Intro 1:05 Battery Life Test Results 3:14 Activity Tracking, Sleep Testing, Energy Score 8:05 Workout Modes & Sport Features 11:47 The Emergency Siren 12:29 Heart Rate Accuracy 15:30 GPS Accuracy 19:20 Final Thoughts/Recommendations #SamsungGalaxyWatchUltra #WatchUltra #SamsungWatch
