Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: A lot of bang for a lot of bucks...but do you need one?

ECG and heart health not supported in Zimbabwe

[@SouthSideTechZw]

Which is interesting, I wonder why those features are region locked

[@ettcha]

@@SouthSideTechZw Those capabilities make it a 'medical device', making it subject to regulation and certification where that applies.

[@SouthSideTechZw]

@@ettcha Interesting but Huawei doesn't have those sae restrictions in the same regions and yet they have had watches that measure ECG and BP for a couple years now

[@ettcha]

@@SouthSideTechZw I think Chinese companies would rather ask for forgiveness than permission in cases like this😂 Samsung at their stage in life have learned the opposite! Half jokes aside, I think it has to do with the types of risks each of them are willing to take, their different primary/priority markets and possibly, their different messaging on how valid they claim their readings are. There's also the IP landmines that can pop up, like what happened to one of Apples watches a gen or two ago that forced an update to kill a feature but only in a certain region.

[@SouthSideTechZw]

@@ettcha Might have been an oversight on their part Apple but I just find it extremely odd that they have been able to get away with it for so long

Its here

It took us a minute but it's here now!

Platform integration is unfortunately a thing with Samsung watches. You always leave something on the table with other brand phones. For battery life, I think you can turn off the Cellular radios completely. If it polls networks all day, it could make a difference.

[@SouthSideTechZw]

Interesting actually because when I was on wifi it felt like the battery drain was higher than when I was out and about
