Imma push back on your opinion about the rotating bezel. For me, it is an absolute deal breaker. I have a gear s2 that I replaced with a galaxy watch classic and now have the watch 6 classic. After working in construction all those years and constantly getting dust and debris on it, hitting it against things (sometimes quite hard), and scraping it against wood, concrete, screws, etc. I have never had an issue with my bezel. Sometimes, it can get a little rough, but after playing with it for a few seconds, it smooths back out. When I was upgrading from my galaxy watch, I considered getting the ultra and was willing to pay for it, but it just wasn't worth it to me to pay more and not get a crucial feature that has been the primary reason that I stick with galaxy watches. Rotating bezel gang for life. And besides, if you're working out and all sweaty (or have paint or other stuff on your hands like I find myself sometimes) it's nice to have a way to manipulate the device without getting water/sweat on the screen and not having it bug out and zip back and forth and click random things. Just my opinion. Still a cool watch tho.
I have the 4 classic and the 6 classic and there the same watch just a smaller rotating bezel. You might as well wait for the next watch if you don't like the ultra. To be honest. I never even use my rotating bezel. I just use the screen
Couldn't agree more. I love mine to death. Has stayed on my wrist since day 1, and only comes off when I shower. The band I've been using takes it up 10 notches. It looks amazing. Not even just by smartwatch standards but by actual watch standards. I really hope they continue with this design, I love it.
I think your charging issue is related to the charger. I bought the Samsung charger for $14.00, and my Galaxy Watch Ultra is only taking 35 minutes to charge from 25% to 95%.
@@michamai76 Actually the watch did not come with a charger, only the USB-C Cable at least here in the US. I was using an old Pixel phone charger and it was taking too long to charge untill Samsung rewareded me with $9 for my last purchse and I decided to add another $5 and got the 15Watt charger from their website and now the watch is charging much faster. Agin, 25-30% ro 90-95% in about 37 to 40 minutes.
I just got this and I love it. Love the size and feel. The screen is a thing of beauty. I have the watch classic 4 and this is a proper upgrade. Changed my strap to the spigen strap and it looks great.
I love mine. This is the best Samsung watch ever. I do miss the rotating bezel. The battery 🔋 is amazing . I ran a marathon with it and the battery went from 100% down to 85% and I ran it in 4 hours . I'm very impressed
I upgraded from the Galaxy 5 Pro soon as the Ultra 7 was released, and I'm still quite impressed with the watch overall. The screen resolution and brightness are beautiful to look at, and I have zero issues reading it outside in the sunshine. I usually get 3 full days of battery life, and I also wear it at night for sleep tracking, which has been great. It's unreal all of the metrics that it tracks at night and I can tell if I'm getting sick simply by my body temperature change which I can then counter act with a little more sleep and rest to avoid getting sick. The bad is extremely comfortable, and I do get a ton of compliments on the watch, more so than any other watch I've owned, to be honest. I also charge soon as I get up when needed, and it typically takes 1.5 hours. Of course, it would be nice to charge in less than an hour, but it's not a deal breaker.
Great content. As for me, I'm a good 81 hours. On power saver. The only health features I'm interested in are heart rate and my steps. I'm 64 and have a neurological disease, so I'm not running a marathon. Don't get me wrong, I have 7 different functions on my watch face. Weather, Google assist, heart rate, world time. Alarm, battery percentage. And steps. So battery means more to me. Compared to my watch4 44mm, which I had to charge basically every day. This watch is a breath of fresh air.
There’s 2 things that hold me back from smartwatches. The obvious look of it and the battery. I cant settle for the look bc there are some good options out there that offer a ton of functionality. BUT, the battery i cant not look past. Only reason i cant use mainline watches. But i did come across the trex and the instinct and balance. I settled on the instinct bc it offers everything i want and has a 20 plus batttery life
I thought the OnePlus r would be better. I rock an amazfit balance with the help smart ring. It does amazing! The vibration is a little cheap and I wish it worked a bit more like wearos but I still love it. Battery life is amazing!!!
The battery performance is a bit underwhelming. But i do what you hinted at. Regardless of what level % my battery is, whenever im in the shower, i throw it on the charge. Hasnt really been at a point where i couldn't wear my watch bc it wasnt charged. Good video!
I returned mine in favor of my Garmin Fenix 7. I loved the style but the touch bezel is useless when swimming or exercising with gloves. Garmin has buttons or touch to control things which is a complete win.
Been daily driving a Galaxy Watch5 for over a year. Sometimes i have a hard time seeing the screen on very sunny days. Other than that, its been great.
I'm still using my first smart watch the Huawei Watch (1) that came out in 2015, it does run slow & the battery runs out as soon as I get back from a day in the office
Never had a smart watch. Got a flip 6 and the ultra and I haven't had so much fun. Not since the startac! I didn't think I ever needed a smart watch but it's changed my every day. The health options alone a massive. I don't sleep well and this has helped me modify the way I try to get better sleep. Aesthetica are gorgeous. Making the apple watch look pretty dated imo. I get 2days and 12 hours with walking, sleep on and aod off. 3 daya plus with power save. The charging doesn't bother me. I leave it on at night or early morning when I get into work. My only grape would be the samsung flat charger plate for watch phone and headphones is pants. I got a 3rd party charge cable holder so I can charge the watch on its side. I also got some replacement straps with different colours. They cost $7 on amazon and are identical to the samsung ones! Minus the branding but ither than that. The same. The watch and flip 6 has seriously changed my everyday use of a mobile. I got the watch for 419 on the samsung site and the flip for 499. I couldn't say no! Well done samsung!
I thought about getting a smartwatch, but can't justify getting one. What would i use it for? I'm not a professional athlete, all the health and fitness tracking i want can be done with a $30 fitness band and the GPS on my phone. I would get notifications on my wrist, but that would probably just annoy me.
Same here. Ive never used one, i dont see the benefit of a "smart" watch. A watch has 1 purpose, is to tell the time. All of these features they show are gimmicky imo. Maybe ill change my mind if i ever use one. Some might argue that phones used to be just for calls and msgs, but now we have smartphones, but that arguement is false. Smartphones now is like a personal computer we carry in a pocket and alot of modern works require a smartphone, its very handy. ..... But a "smart" watch? Nahhh i can not seem to find any real usecase of it, rather than telling the time. It looks fancy dont get me wrong..... but i just dont find it useful and justify enough for these 300 400$ pricetags.
I had one once, and the best thing for me were the different watchfaces. I really enjoyed them, especially the cool AOD faces, especially nighttime it looked so awesome! Thinking of having a Xiaomi watch S3 just for that. It is very cheap has a decent battery life, decent display, and some more classic features in case I need them, that's it!
I really am enjoying my Watch Ultra! The fitness tracking has been on point and the smart features are undeniable. My one complaint would be the charging speeds, but overall would recommend this to anyone wanting a combination of a sports watch and a smartwatch.
I think Samsung will bring back the rotating bezel next year, or the year after that, to compell customers to upgrade, thus securing the upsale. I do not think it was an oversight - I think it was a strategic choice.
Would defo buy one if it got the physical bezel update. I know by just slapping it on them it may become weak to water and dust but hope Samsung comes with some special engineering for preventing those. I would buy them regardless. Love the physical bezel waaay too much haha.
I have had this watch going on a month now and 45 mins as most is what mine takes to change but then again I'm not letting my watch die completely. Just a though you might not want to let it die
I totally love this watch.. That I'm running it independent of any phone right now . I Use the iPhone 16pm.. So I can't connect it to the Phone. Bought the tablet s10 ultra... Then they said it can't connect .. So now I'm stuck , but I love it.. Just waiting to find a solution
If you look at the whole thing more differentiated and take Samsung's long update promise, the price is absolutely fine. With classic watches, you only pay for design and appearance. Here you get exactly that with the Ultra. Design, high quality and good materials. I'm more than happy with my ultra. 😊,
I have the watch ultra since 1 week now and its the best I've ever got. It's even works perfectly together with my Google Pixel 9 pro XL. I was considering the Pixel watch too but I don't like the looks which is also very important too me! Great review!
I just switched from a GW5 to the PW3 in combo with a P8P. And I can tell you, the Pixel watch integrates much better with fewer bugs alongside a pixel phone than the Galaxy watch did. For example, setting an alarm on either my phone or watch sets it on both. And Google music along with getting my earbuds to properly connect to the Galaxy watch was always a nightmare. Also, there are quite a few features of Samsung Health that only work with a Galaxy phone.
I can't go back without the rotating bezel... I tried with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, wasn't happy. Got the Galaxy watch 6 classic and reminded me how much I love the physical rotating bezel. The Ultra is lacking reverse charging... Long charging times. Nah I'm good. I'll wait for next year.
@Tha-King-Arthur I'm using the watch as we speak. It does everything very well while looking stylish and at a great price. The ultra is not running laps on the 6 classic.
@@carlos53k The Classic 6 is a very nice watch because of the rotating bezel, but it is definitely worse than the Ultra. And I should know because I wore the watch for over 1.5 years. Battery on the Ultra lasts 3-4 days on the Classic, at most 2 days, there is no delay on the Ultra but there is on the 6 Classic.. At one point during a 1.5 run workout I had a battery loss of 25%, while on the Ultra this is less than 10%.
Battery life has been disappointing to me, I'm just about getting 2 days which isn't much better than my Watch 6 Classic... was hoping for 3-3.5 for the size and price tag.
Samsung's watch ultra this perfect. Maybe if it had changeable bezels, but battery's perfect operating system is perfect. You don't need to charge it fast because when you charge it, it's still at eighty percent at the end of the day, so it's a five minute charge
The battery life is an absolute deal breaker for me in any scenario. I don't want another device I have to charge daily and that I can't take to a 3 day weekend trip wirhout running out of battery.
I love the shape but it barely fits anyone's wrists that I've seen it on. They need a smaller version, but I know a lot of people now don't know anything about watches and just wear a watch with the biggest face they can find without taking into account how it looks on their wrist.
My Huawei Fit Watch 3 has the best battery. It lasts almost 2 weeks with everything on and lots of sports trekking. It is also very precise. The Chinese are better at it
If only it had kept the rotating bezel... From the Galaxy watch 4 , most of the Samsung watches lost their premium feel like the GW 3 had and these 2 + the very slow charging time it's a deal breaker
@@stevenkelby2169If accurate fitness reading are not important to you why would you spend $700 on a watch that is basically offering mostly just fitness features. Lol. Obviously more accurate heart reading makes all of the health tracking more accurate as quantified scientist proved Samsung's accuracy is basically worse among all the expensive smartwatches. If you don't need accurate fitness tracking then you can get something that does all the same stuff for $0.20 on the dollar if you don't actually care about accurate fitness. It's just a strange defense. These things are 90% fitness features and "hey accurate health tracking isn't a big deal on a $600 galaxy watch." other than that what are you really getting? Bluetooth calling works on a $30 fitness tracker. I guess you get a pretty decent voice notes app but you can find that for $0.10 on the dollar
@@stevenkelby2169 if you're into running (or probably any endurance activity) and going far and for a long time, heart rate data is actually very useful
With that battery, not for me. Garmin fenix 8 during a sale at some point during 2025. Otherwise Samsung seems to be slowly "getting there" which is a good thing.
The design is beautiful, I love it. It's the best-looking smartwatch by far and the only one that looks good by actual watch standards. Especially with the band that I found. I never even owned a smartwatch until this one came out. They are all pretty dorky looking. This one is an actual respectable time piece that feels good to wear while having the convenience and functions of a smartwatch. The apple watch is trash to me, I hate the way it looks, and the ultra isn't really any better.
I’ve decided to move away from Samsung watches after experiencing persistent overheating issues with the last four I owned. Despite Samsung replacing them, even with different models, the problem persisted. This occurred with simple tasks (like workout mode). One watch just overheated doing nothing at all. Forget multitasking (like working out and listening to your music). A quick Google search reveals this has been a longstanding issue, with the Galaxy Watch 5, the last model I bought, receiving 73% negative feedback on their own website. Unfortunately, Samsung seems aware of the problem but hasn't fixed it, possibly due to processor issues. It's unfortunate because Samsung makes great phones, which I prefer over my iPhone. However, the watches just haven't met my expectations. Currently, I’m using an Apple Watch Ultra 2 without any issues. I wish I could stay on Android, but I’ve been let down too many times by Samsung's watches. If Samsung was feeling froggy and wanted to give me one, I'd give it a try. I want to love them and I want to love this watch. Too scared to give my money to a company that doesn't care about their watches.
I had to factory reset my galaxy watch 5 twice for overheating and excessive battery drain. It’s behaving well now that I’ve given it to my son. I have an Apple Watch series 9 and much prefer it. Samsung watches are so laggy.
I had one when i had the S24U but then i got a Pixel 9 fold so ofcos i had to get the Pixel Watch3, 45mm and its sooooo much smoother by a mile. Samsung UI is clunky in comparison.
Yeah quantified scientist does a really good job breaking this stuff down. And I get it not everyone cares but accurate finished features but if that's the case you can get a perfectly adequate solution for a hundred bucks or less or even 50 bucks. But channels like this just want you to buy as much stuff as possible via affiliate links. Or just in general increase consumption because that's how they make their money is by getting people to consume. They try to tell you it's their job to get to save you money but that's laughable on its face. I mean this guy had the gall to call this ridiculous inaccurate watch a steal. I'm not being partisan about this Apple watches are much more accurate with fitness tracking but the battery is a complete joke.
I can't get what "this has convinced" staff is. Terrible battery life and terrible charging time, doubtful accuracy of most measurements. So, what is the point of buying the watch?
Quantified scientist tested it, awful gps accuracy awful heart tracking accuracy . It may be a great notification machine, but its terrible at health & fitness tracking. A reviewer who has no idea what he's talking about
I am a sumsung guy for a long time but damn this watch is one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen. I'll stick to the watch 7 and 6 classic until they re think this design
Ugly design (even digital watchfaces), bulky, low battery. This watch (and most others) is gonna be ewaste in a few years because there is so much room for improvement and polish.
It's the sensors that are absolute pile of shi, compare it to its competitors like Apple, Oura, Whoop, Garmin and more; the sleep detection is abysmal, so is health/gym tracking. It's worse than Huawei watches, yes it looks good but it's no point when it's poor at it's job of accuracy. I've been looking to move back to Android and the only watch that's good is the Pixel watch which has a shi fitbit subscription.
Sorry Ryan, but this is NOT the best smartwatch, bro. The pixel watch3 is kinda cool, but the apple watch is the best damn one on the market. I wish it could be used with Android 😢
I will agree, Apple allowing their watch to be used with android would probably score them quite a bit of sales. Its not worth switching to their stranglehold ecosystem juat for a watch.
Not necessarily, I'd say they're neck and neck. Galaxy watches have some things they do better than the apple watch. Native stress tracker, native water tracker, better stock apps(excluding email and messaging), better typing experience, better looking. I give apple watch the edge on 3rd party apps, haptics, and bluetooth range and 3rd party accessories
Yeah I have Apple Watch Ultra gen 1 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the best Galaxy watch but man it's still way behind the Apple Watch. The new bio sensor is also very inaccurate

100 percent agree. The rotating bezel is not something I'm willing to give up. its just too damn useful
My 4 classic still running strong. Don't know if I should wait for an 8 classic or just grab a 6 classic while I can still get it brand new....🤔🤔🤔
This is why I am buying the watch 6 classic as my first smart watch
I have the 4 classic and the 6 classic and there the same watch just a smaller rotating bezel. You might as well wait for the next watch if you don't like the ultra.

The only problem I have with the Galaxy Watch Ultra is the quick response when someone calls me it doesn't work and I try everything
I love the shape but it barely fits anyone's wrists that I've seen it on. They need a smaller version, but I know a lot of people now don't know anything about watches and just wear a watch with the biggest face they can find without taking into account how it looks on their wrist.
I thought this watches battery lasted longer than the GW 6 Classic. I need a smartwatch that lasts at least 2-3 days.
My Huawei Fit Watch 3 has the best battery. It lasts almost 2 weeks with everything on and lots of sports trekking. It is also very precise. The Chinese are better at it
I like the Huawei watches as you can use them on android and iOS and a great battery life thanks
If only it had kept the rotating bezel... From the Galaxy watch 4 , most of the Samsung watches lost their premium feel like the GW 3 had and these 2 + the very slow charging time it's a deal breaker
I have it and love it but the battery life is a joke for "ultra " watch
Can I connect it to iphone ?
Thank you very much!
I much prefer the pixel watch 3, heart rate accuracy is just not good enough
And what are you doing with that information?
Why is your heart rate mission critical? ☺
If heart rate isn’t that important to you why get a smartwatch at all? Get a Casio then.
@@stevenkelby2169If accurate fitness reading are not important to you why would you spend $700 on a watch that is basically offering mostly just fitness features. Lol. Obviously more accurate heart reading makes all of the health tracking more accurate as quantified scientist proved Samsung's accuracy is basically worse among all the expensive smartwatches.
If you don't need accurate fitness tracking then you can get something that does all the same stuff for $0.20 on the dollar if you don't actually care about accurate fitness.
It's just a strange defense. These things are 90% fitness features and "hey accurate health tracking isn't a big deal on a $600 galaxy watch."
other than that what are you really getting? Bluetooth calling works on a $30 fitness tracker. I guess you get a pretty decent voice notes app but you can find that for $0.10 on the dollar
@@stevenkelby2169 if you're into running (or probably any endurance activity) and going far and for a long time, heart rate data is actually very useful
Not good enough than the pixel watch 3? That looks like a comment right from a paid teamPixel.
Can't think where I've seen this design before...
I don't like the design of it at all. I also would prefer to have the actual rotating bezel
With that battery, not for me. Garmin fenix 8 during a sale at some point during 2025. Otherwise Samsung seems to be slowly "getting there" which is a good thing.
I love mind got it 249.00.at launch traded my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic I'm getting 4 days battery life.
Just ordered one… after researching German and sunnto
Where can i get the watch for 25- 50% sale?
Come on uploader i really want too know??
i got it from samsung for $264 with trading in my watch 5 pro
I love my ultra but it literally feels abandoned
2 hours charging? I think you're doing something wrong or using the wrong charger as that is not correct at all
0:10 the design of this watch is kind of a square and circle and it's not that good
thats actually the worst part lol
Worst design ever
The design is beautiful, I love it. It's the best-looking smartwatch by far and the only one that looks good by actual watch standards. Especially with the band that I found. I never even owned a smartwatch until this one came out. They are all pretty dorky looking. This one is an actual respectable time piece that feels good to wear while having the convenience and functions of a smartwatch. The apple watch is trash to me, I hate the way it looks, and the ultra isn't really any better.
@CastroJordan it looks absolutely awful. Normal galaxy watch 7 looks so much better.
@@CastroJordan💯
I’ve decided to move away from Samsung watches after experiencing persistent overheating issues with the last four I owned. Despite Samsung replacing them, even with different models, the problem persisted. This occurred with simple tasks (like workout mode). One watch just overheated doing nothing at all. Forget multitasking (like working out and listening to your music). A quick Google search reveals this has been a longstanding issue, with the Galaxy Watch 5, the last model I bought, receiving 73% negative feedback on their own website. Unfortunately, Samsung seems aware of the problem but hasn't fixed it, possibly due to processor issues.
It's unfortunate because Samsung makes great phones, which I prefer over my iPhone. However, the watches just haven't met my expectations. Currently, I’m using an Apple Watch Ultra 2 without any issues. I wish I could stay on Android, but I’ve been let down too many times by Samsung's watches.
If Samsung was feeling froggy and wanted to give me one, I'd give it a try. I want to love them and I want to love this watch. Too scared to give my money to a company that doesn't care about their watches.
I had to factory reset my galaxy watch 5 twice for overheating and excessive battery drain. It’s behaving well now that I’ve given it to my son. I have an Apple Watch series 9 and much prefer it. Samsung watches are so laggy.
@@Rinnara21I got the Ultra and they used this year the 3nm chip which makes it flawlessly
😂I went to best buy to watch this watch and that circle in Square is such an eye sore. I was like why such big bezzles
Uhm... Pretty sure the £399 listing is a scam. That third party shop on Amazon looks very bad.
Although - fair enough... The one from Amazon EU is also on;ly £430... Still weird that this one is £200 less expensive than the other colours
I can't believe even with that design sacrifice that it barely lasts 2 days
I have one and still wear the 5Pro more
Just make the Gear S again, Samsung! 🤦🏾♂️
I had one when i had the S24U but then i got a Pixel 9 fold so ofcos i had to get the Pixel Watch3, 45mm and its sooooo much smoother by a mile. Samsung UI is clunky in comparison.
If you would make a square watch I would get one but I'm good with the round look. I think is the worst design for a smartwatch
Im eying the Galaxy Watch 7, only because of the sleep apnea feature. I believe i have sleep apnea
“This watch is rated for more depth”
Me: Yeah, it is thicker 🤷🏼♂️
The health related features are nt tht accurate for the price
Yeah quantified scientist does a really good job breaking this stuff down. And I get it not everyone cares but accurate finished features but if that's the case you can get a perfectly adequate solution for a hundred bucks or less or even 50 bucks.
But channels like this just want you to buy as much stuff as possible via affiliate links. Or just in general increase consumption because that's how they make their money is by getting people to consume. They try to tell you it's their job to get to save you money but that's laughable on its face. I mean this guy had the gall to call this ridiculous inaccurate watch a steal.
I'm not being partisan about this Apple watches are much more accurate with fitness tracking but the battery is a complete joke.
in my experience, it's YMMV
It is too fricking big for my wrists 😅
It doesn't even fit your wrist dude. That's the biggest problem. A wrist watch thats too big for most wrists. Effing hublot sizes.
Should have gotten the Ultra. The GPS accuracy on the regular Watch7 is absolute dog water 🤮💀
It’s literally a copy pasta of the Apple Watch Ultra + a rotating bezel
I can't get what "this has convinced" staff is. Terrible battery life and terrible charging time, doubtful accuracy of most measurements. So, what is the point of buying the watch?
Normally enjoy watching your videos, but this is the first video I actually disagree with you 😂
Design is Ugly
Would be better if it looked like *Audemars Piguet Royal Oak*
or if they make a CasiOak Strap Band for it
The design is just not it for me 😢😢😢
It's not woman friendly. A smaller version would have fixed that.
I love my ultra 7
They are so bad compared to the pixel quality in terms of software tbh
Quantified scientist tested it, awful gps accuracy awful heart tracking accuracy . It may be a great notification machine, but its terrible at health & fitness tracking.
A reviewer who has no idea what he's talking about
This watch has terrible battery life! Do yourself a favor and get a Garmin!
world's smallest wrists gang, unite!!
I am a sumsung guy for a long time but damn this watch is one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen. I'll stick to the watch 7 and 6 classic until they re think this design
Meh, I rather buy a Bell & Ross
Ugly design (even digital watchfaces), bulky, low battery. This watch (and most others) is gonna be ewaste in a few years because there is so much room for improvement and polish.
That thing is way too big for most people's wrists. Major wrist biscuit mate
yeah but like... it's big and ugly
so are most smartwatches tbf
0:40 EGGcellent
Its great but ugly af..... It didnt grow on me at all
Ugly as sin hardware. Terrible, clunky notification management. Completely misses the mark.
The watch is to big for you. You look like a little kid that has borrowed dad's watch. Not a nice fit. Get a 40mm series 7 instead
No they are not good. Just expense version of cheap Chinese watches. Not accurate at all
Looks huge. Invalidates everything else.
Well, that is pretty normal for a high end fitness device... apple watch ultra, Garmin Fenix, etc... the size adds increased durability and battery
It's the sensors that are absolute pile of shi, compare it to its competitors like Apple, Oura, Whoop, Garmin and more; the sleep detection is abysmal, so is health/gym tracking. It's worse than Huawei watches, yes it looks good but it's no point when it's poor at it's job of accuracy.
I've been looking to move back to Android and the only watch that's good is the Pixel watch which has a shi fitbit subscription.
It looks so ugly even if you try hard to love it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....
Sorry Ryan, but this is NOT the best smartwatch, bro. The pixel watch3 is kinda cool, but the apple watch is the best damn one on the market. I wish it could be used with Android 😢
I will agree, Apple allowing their watch to be used with android would probably score them quite a bit of sales.
Its not worth switching to their stranglehold ecosystem juat for a watch.
🍏🤔
Not necessarily, I'd say they're neck and neck. Galaxy watches have some things they do better than the apple watch. Native stress tracker, native water tracker, better stock apps(excluding email and messaging), better typing experience, better looking. I give apple watch the edge on 3rd party apps, haptics, and bluetooth range and 3rd party accessories
Nah apple watch boring as he'll just like the iPhone to me the galaxy watch ultra is better it can do alot and it's Def accurate
Yeah I have Apple Watch Ultra gen 1 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the best Galaxy watch but man it's still way behind the Apple Watch. The new bio sensor is also very inaccurate
