Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: Garmin Fenix and Apple Watch Ultra 2 rival tested by two runners

[@simdencard]

I gave away my Garmin Epix Pro and got myself the Samsung Ultra. Couldn't be happier. Lte, blood pressure checks, nice watch faces in comparison to Garmin and a proper smart watch experience were the deciding factors for me. I found the Garmin to be good for training metrics, poor for sleep tracking, making metrics like body battery inaccurate and boring as hell. I also train a lot, but still don't feel the need for a hard-core training watch like Garmin that's lacks many smart features and lte.

I chose the GW Ultra over the Fenix 8. Great watch so far

I've been using garmin watches for 8 years, started with the fenix 3 and currently have a Fenix 7x and Forerunner 965, however I got the samsung watch ultra because of the LTE, since garmin didn't add it to the Fenix 8 line.

Returned mine. However the Pixel Watch 3 is making me consider switching from Garmin.

Total rubbish, brilliant watch for £500

[@GarminPro]

These wear OS watches are so far behind. Can’t even connect an external sensor to the dang thing lol If you want a smart watch, get an Apple Watch, if you want a training/sports watch get a Garmin or Coros. That’s my 2 cents.

Garmin w chest strap for runs, but GW has freed me from lugging my phone on runs (need a phone or LTE for safety on my very rural trail runs). So I wear both. GW is decent vs my chest strap, too

Rewiev Huawei GT5 ,ther is batery ...

[@georgevadnais3516]

I bought the galaxy watch ultra for everything in the day and the 7 44mm for sleep tracking. So i never run out of battery.

[@GarminPro]

Well that’s just weird lol

[@ju2705s]

I had the watch just for one week... Battery life was the worst of all my watches so farl Just 18h withe 1h run... send it back.

Samsung watches are inacurate

[@nathan-clark]

This is an egregious rip off, even for Samsung standards. ✅ Orange motif ✅ Green workout app and icons ✅ Grid of circle app icons ✅ Squarcle shape ✅ Name copypasta with ‘Ultra’ + more. Even down to the thin orange line on the crown.

This watch looks so bad.... Worse battery life than Apple Watch. A crown that can't even be used to scroll through apps? 🤣 Come on Samsung It just looks cheap compared to the Apple Watches
