[@idontwantacallsign]

Thank you for a great review. Compare with my findings. GPS fine, battery fine. I had a very off HR on 2 outside bikerides (up to 30 BPM to much and down to 10 BPM to low), but on two other rides it was much better. Main difference was the tightness of the wrist strap. It has to be quite tight. So it corospond with your findings that I door cycling is better. Once again thanks. BTW I am subscribed 😁🥳

[@HindsightFPV]

Crazy I had a very similar issue but I found my band was too tight. My HR was 160ish and I was at a VERY casual pace riding with a 5 yr old. I loosened the band a bit and it came down to what seemed to be a normal range. I will admit my band was quite tight and almost uncomfortable.

I got apologize I am sorry. I am one of those not subscribed, but am I defense I thought I was. I have never heard DC Raymaker or DesFit say anything remotely positive about Samsung and their horrible watches(and they were.) That’s until today. I am surprised and I don’t know what to do with myself(other then subscribing) I can say your review determines if I upgrade to a Samsung watch or keep this Samsung trash on my wrist. Great video and I know it’s honest because like I said before I do not recall any time where there was anything said positive about a Samsung smart watch. Yes! I did watch this video twice to be sure I heard right! I’ll wait for that update for the power meter and cycling to be fixed before I buy, but it is good to hear they improved.

Your reviews are incredibly good, and I wish you could do a sailing, boating review on the Samsung Ultra vs the new Garmin Instinct Amoled, covering aspects such as tide, wind, rain, bearing, warnings, wave etc. I can not find any such reviews anywhere, and I think its such a huge market thats entirely overlooked as everyone covers running, cycling and swimming, but not boating, kayaking, sailing.

[@hilmarkoerner2603]

Note that I realize this is not a watch Ultra feature, but a Samsung Health feature. I was able to pair a Garmin cadence and speed sensor 2 to the Samsung health app on the phone and it tracks cadence and speed. Although it does drop out in short intervals (but sill calculates the correct distance and average, guess it's simply ignoring the 0s). For outdoor cycling it would get both speed and cadence, for indoor cycling it only gets cadence (guess Samsung thinks you don't need that since you bike isn't moving) - YMMV.

[@seanmarshall5475]

Great review I purchased the galaxy watch ultra on your review. Love it so far, my only gripe is you can't pair external sensors on the watch which is crazy being there high end watch aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. I'm still holding out that maybe Samsung listen and add this very simple application. Again great review 👏

[@charlesoutthere]

Without HR monitor pairing, it's kind of a no-go for many road / trail runners as well. That and the cumbersome GPX sync. Too bad, looked like a good watch! Particularly like the screen, and body construction (sapphire crystal, titanium). It would be great for Garmin to up it's Forerunner materials, it's the only issue I have with my 965. And thanks for the review, was looking forwards to it from the Samsung announcement to know what those watches were worth!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!!

[@fuzzhead00]

There is a 3rd party app called Gear Tracker II, which allows you to connect external sensors directly to the watch. I'm using it with Polar H7 and Stryd running pod and it works pretty good. I get all the necessary metrics. It also allows you to sync your workouts to various analytics platforms. Probably the only downside is that you can't preload gpx track as of now, but it might get implemented later. It can show the map though in real time as one of the data screens. (side note, I'm not an author of that app, just a regular user.)

If we knitpick every small problem and every tiny deviation from the "standard" measurements, then we only need to stick to 2-3 standard fitness trackers and junk the rest. Nothing is perfect.

[@LintosIcebane]

I bet the difference in GPS for the 7 vs Ultra is based on how the internal wiring for the radio is set up. If I had to guess, the Galaxy Watch 7 - since it's using the same body as the Galaxy Watch 6 - is likely using the same internal wiring setup the 6 did but with an upgraded dual-band GPS chip. The Galaxy Watch Ultra, on the other hand, is a new design from Samsung. I would bet good money that the square design of the watch allowed them to set the internal radio up in a way that was more accurate.

[@JorgePereiraMiguel]

To be fair as Marco Altini said once in a podcast the scores are supposed to be "boring" and brands just play with it and throw some random things on top of scores that are mostly "useless" Unless you get sick or do a "really hard" workout that really throw your HRV and other metrics way down then you can acess it works or not but in my opinion complain it gives you always the same score is not fair :p they can just throw you +10 or -10 just as a gimmick if you feel more satisfied but in the end it is suppose to be boring and quite constant 😅

[@Dcrainmaker]

Ultimately, a score is no different than a coach or anyone's own methodology for deciding whether to train or not. It's simply one companies thoughts on which factors are important in certain weighting (e.g. sleep, vs training load, vs consistency, etc...). I wouldn't call them useless at all, in the same way that a given coach isn't useless just because they have a different methodology than a different coach.

[@JorgePereiraMiguel]

​@@Dcrainmaker totally agree there :) i meant in a way that they don't have any context as a coach has :) for example if you have a late meal your temperature increases more than usual, HRV also way above specially if it's a carbo load, also on summer i get a "pay attention" from Oura on more hot night because my temperature is high and i might getting in "rest mode" That's what i meant as a "energy score" is not really as usefull as "training load" on garmin in my opinion I use the HRV and HR itself on raw data to acess that myself since i can take into account my own feeling and RPE there! For example in Garmin is quite nice at least for me but also notice since i run and cycle the "cycle sessions" are way lower considered in my load compared with my runs no matter if it's a HIT or not on cycle because the HR is always lower there But usually i get a 90-100 sleep score on garmin unless i'm traveling so it's always "boring 95 or 97 or something simillar" and if i was going to acess i would say it don't say much for me there and if i look into readiness is always less than 20 for me as endurance athlete so yeah also don't apply much. Oura also always put me in those 80-90 range readiness no matter if i go hard on my HIIT or longer tempo runs, if i sleep well it will always put me on that value so don't really is that usefull to say if i should train or not :P I think that scores in a samsung or other smartwatch and not as much a fitness watch as garmin are more usefull for general users without much context than people who want to acess if they should train or not :) sry the long text :) and thanks for the reply, you're always my go to on reviews before get my new garmin or upgrade any sport tech ahah

[@mitchcm]

Another Samsung Watch without the most basic feature, external hrm support. Apple was smart to Bluetooth hrm pairing. People have been asking for this ability for years. To me, this isn’t a sports watch without that. It’s something that should not be recommended for working out.

[@tmizzone]

Fully agree

[@AljosaAsanovic]

There's the sportswerks app that allows pairing external hrm but it's a workaround, you're right overall it's ridiculous.

[@mitchcm]

@@AljosaAsanovic Yeah, most people don't want to do a workaround. The idea is to use it natively with Samsung's ecosystem. Yet, you have to use a different app, on a so called "Ultra" watch. Apple added bluetooth HRM support and it works well. The Apple Watch is open to both groups who like to wear a HRM and those who don't. Kudos to Apple for this. Samsung could have don't this and really boosted the watch.

[@AljosaAsanovic]

@@mitchcm fully agree, I was in disbelief when I found out my galaxy watch 5 pro couldn't do this basic thing

Thank you for the in depth review! In your experience with the watch did you notice any features missing (i.e EKG) when pairing it with your pixel phone?

[@MTBryanH]

I love mine. I wanted an LTE watch that I could take when riding my bikes so I don't have to take my cell phone. I've had to call from Sag support (wife) from my watch before. It's beautiful, crisp, batter life is slightly longer than my 5 Pro, HR and monitoring works better than my 5 Pro.

[@MrJbee1982]

Why do sports watches and Samsung have to be mutually exclusive?? Why not Samsung make watches as accurate as Garmin. Giving Samsung an excuse is not an excuse. It's like telling them it's ok to be average when they shouldn't be. Especially since their phones are anything but average. 🙄

[@Epylon]

I'm really glad I found this video. I currently have a Fitbit Sense 1 that's in its death throws. I've been part of the Fitbit Ecosystem for a few years now. One of the most important features is the ECG monitoring as I occasionally have bouts of AFIB that i would like automatically tracked. At $650, this is a huge price point difference between any of the Fitbit devices. However, none of the phone side functionality of the Fitbit like talk to text or on wrist calls actually works good enough for practical use. Would you reccomend moving to the ultra since I'm also a Samsung phone user, or is there an alternative device that I'm maybe missing? Any help or opinions are appreciated.

[@bautsch_sportstec]

Great review, Ray! Did you check the battery consumption when using routes? In my testing I get like 6% per hour when I don't use routes, but when I do the watch looses around 15% per hour, which is crazy...

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yeah, it's a lot higher during rates, was looking at that last night actually. Will cover that in my Watch7 review.

[@bautsch_sportstec]

@@Dcrainmaker I just did a 50 min bike ride... Lost 16% in that time following a route. Imaging doing a hike and the watch dies after 6 hours...

[@mherald]

This is the first Samsung watch that records usable data and is probably accurate enough for most. I won't be sidelining my Epix Pro anytime soon, but this is a good move in the right direction for Samsung. I do hope they add external sensor support, especially since 3rd party apps allow at least an HRM strap (e.g. Adidas Running and a few paid apps)...but they should have added cycling power meter support on the device since that was a big deal during their unpacked. IMO, the point of a watch with LTE is so that i dont have to run/ride with my phone. But now I have to ride with my phone if I want to use this feature. I also noticed HRV measurements being much higher than my Oura and Epix Pro. Even my Galaxy Ring records a bit lower, but still higher than the others. I feel it's probably an issue with their algorithm since the trend seems comparable to the others. Integration with Strava routes seems like a no-brainer move...so they wont do it unless Apple does it first.

[@c0rtin3x]

I am kinda tempted to get the GWU, I already have the Epix Pro... I would just use it for the smartphone features but only under the condition that I can somehow sync Samsung Health and Garmin Connect data... I believe there is an option but I don't know if it transfers all metrics available

[@charliemoses]

​@@c0rtin3x Samsung syncs with health connect on android, but I don't think Garmin does. The only way to get the two in sync AFAIK is to use a third party sync.

[@VladimirMizich]

I read another comment by "fuzzhead00" in one of the comment chains, and that user said: "There is a 3rd party app called Gear Tracker II, which allows you to connect external sensors directly to the watch. I'm using it with Polar H7 and Stryd running pod and it works pretty good. I get all the necessary metrics." So there is apparently a way to sync the watch with external sensors. Not sure how accurate this comment is, but those of you who already own the Samsung Watch Ultra, try it out, and confirm please.

[@c0rtin3x]

Hopefully they catch-up curve will be short and sweet and get this watch where it should be and was advertised to be. Thanks again for your hard work (You're why I bought my Garmin Fenix 7S - and why I haven't pulled the trigger on the Coros Dura yet) and open reviews!

[@Plantje1978]

I was really waiting for this review! Just out of curiosity: which country do you live? You seem to do your sports all over Europe! Yet, the running you do is very close to my office. And especially the runs at Zuidas are really pushing the GPS to its limits with all the high buildings. I was hoping Samsung would release a dual band GPS watch at some point. By how many meters is it off in the test you did? At times my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is 40-50 meters off and it stays that way during an entire run, never picks up again. And then for example it is 40 meters off to the east, not matter what direction I run it stays 40 meters off to the east. Really annoying if you use Komoot to guide your runs. Can you test the Watch Ultra and the Watch 7 alongside one another a little bit more? It is really weird that there is a difference in GPS right? did you ever get that sorted out?

Nice review Ray ! When you compared the elevation displayed between the devices, would you happen to compare the elevation gain as well? I've been recording my rides with Garmin Edge Explore 2 and Apple Watch 7 simultaneously and have noticed the elevation gain on the watch is always way below than Garmin's (around 15% less), despite both showing the same current altitude during the ride. Which of the two would be the most accurate in regard on elev. gain?

Thanks for this, need to say that my Watch 7 44mm doesn't have this strange errors with GPS, so might be just a case during your tests cause GPS module is the same as the Ultra

[@Dcrainmaker]

From a GPS standpoint, in 2024, the module is actually one of hte least important components. It's intsead, the antenna design. Most companies use the exact same GPS chipset across the board (literally every enudrance watch company uses the same chipset from Airoha), yet we see dramatically different results. That's because a difference of 1/10th of a millimeter in placement of the antenna (and the bezel components around it), is the difference between great and bad.

I know you said you were going to do a separate review on the regular Galaxy watch 7 but I'm curious as to which model you were using? The 40 mm or the 44 mm. Quantified scientist also had similar GPS findings as you and was using the 40 mm but I'm curious if the issue might be that the smaller watches have to use a different antenna than the larger ones and that is causing the major differences in GPS performance.

[@Dcrainmaker]

44mm in my case.

[@zachrhonheimer2787]

@@Dcrainmaker Thanks for letting me know. I sort of hope that means it could still be software related as both the GW7 and GWU have slightly different software versions but the rational side of me knows it's likely that the GWU just has a completely different antenna design than the GW7. At least we know though that Samsung is capable of fixing the issue, I guess that's progress?
