It would be great if you could do a few runs with the Garmin on one wrist and the Samsung Ultra on the other. That way you could provide a direct comparison between GPS accuracy and heart rate comparison.
I have run with both. Have any questions?
I should!!
@jonathantimm4645 I know Garmin would be more accurate. But can u just do 5k run with ultra and not miss Garmin ? Or Garmin is just too good for running as compared to ultra ?
@sidha22 My Garmin Epix Pro wins overall but on the two 5k runs I have run (I am coming back from an Achilles injury so no long distance yet) the distance recorded on both watches are similar, the Ultra was about .03 more on one run and .02 on the other. Another difference I have found is the real time pace information on the Ultra tends to jump around quite a bit, but at the end of the run it is usually off by two or three seconds when both paces are averaged. I had a heart rate strap on for both runs attached to the Garmin and nothing attached to the Ultra. I found that the accuracy in this area was good as well when averaged at the end of the run they were off by one bpm on both runs. There is some difference in real time but I was happy with the results. Not sure if it will replace my Garmin yet but other than real time pace information I am really happy with it.
I have both Epix pro 51mm and Samsung Ultra. The battery life of Epix is so much better, however, Ultra watch faces is gorgeous and interactive.
Agreed...it's such a tough call.
Ya but the Samsung is more of a smartwatch with health features, and Epix is a health outdoor watch with some smartwatch capabilities
Garmin smashes the Ultra in everything fitness.
The epix pro vibration is stronger than the Ultra.
There is also a $400 to 600 price difference with trade in. That is huge difference for 2 watches this comparible
Thanks for the video... I've had several Garmins and today I use a Watch 5 Pro, along with the smartphone functions you're able to perform on it. I was thinking about buying an Epix 2 Pro mainly for the "body battery" function I missed, but now Samsung has brought it to the 7 Ultra (it will come for the 5 Pro too later), now I'm seriously thinking about staying at Samsung.
@@Tha-King-Arthur 🤔
Body battery is more entertaining on the Garmin since it drops during the day... I'll keep monitoring on the Sammy watch.
I have the Samsung 5 Pro and gave my Epix Pro 2 to my little brother after using it for 3 months. I felt like I was overtraining and missed all the smart watch features such as, blood pressure checks, lte, Spotify on the go, and the Welltory training app. Now using the Samsung 5 Pro again. I realised I didn't need all the training feedback Garmin gave and the watch was very boring along with horrible watch faces. Samsungs sleep tracking had been more accurate for me in comparison to Garmin where the recovery metrics and body battery are reliant upon sleep the tracking, which wasn't very good in my experience.
I liked how i could tell if i was getting sick on the garmin stress tracker. Tactix is an awesome watch, but I would have loved if it at least had the ability to take a call on it or type out a text reply on it.
Fair enough!
What about the accuracy of the various tracking? GPS, heart rate.etc?
Very informative and helpful video! I currently have a Garmin Tactix 7 pro and for the most part I love it. I am not an elite athlete, but I do exercise regularly and use my Garmin for hiking. The biggest feature keeping me from switching is the offline topo maps on the Garmin. Do you know if the Galaxy Ultra can utilize any offline mapping during hikes? I am interested in the Android integration, but I don't want to give up too much of the navigation functionality by switching. Thanks!!
Yep, based on the sounds of it I'm guessing it would be hard for you to switch...even for me I still miss the Garmin. I'll report back with another video soon. Also, let me check on the offline maps!
Great video! I mainly cycle/swim and the occasional hike or walk. My bike computer takes care of the cycling part, and I am currently using a Suunto Race S for swimming/walking and health data. Works great. BUT, I miss having the "smartwatch features" that an Apple Watch or Galaxy watch offers with dedicated LTE service. Might have to give the new Ultra a try. Ty for posting the vid.
Thank you, that's the same position I was in. So far I miss the battery life of the Garmin. But...I love the smart features.
Thank you for talking about the fitness. I have the Garmin Epix 2 but Im feeling like im over training with Garmin and trying to earn badges 😂 i really like this Ultra and I like the fact that Samsung does trade ins and Garmin stopped with them so im going to try the Ultra. ❤
It's a fun watch for sure...enjoying the smart features.
Thanks for the video!
Can you tell us what is the name of the watch face you put on your epix 2? I love it and I didn’t find it in Connect!
Oh, I'd have to look but it's one of the stock faces!
Just ordered the ultra. Wish garmin did trade in😂
Haha no kidding, right!
I use my 255 for very long days, but I got my Ultra for 260 with trade-in. 😅
Garmin Marq owner, on the verge of buying the Samsung ultra but will wait to see what Garmin have to offer next month
For sure!
I may cancel my pre-order and see what Garmin does with the Fenix 8.
@@ibby81ae I hope they will update Marq models too. I do not like the carbon fiber one.
Hi thanks for the video. I'm in thr garmin ecosystem. Wondering when doing activities on thr Samsung if you can use the buttons on the side for start/stop/lap.
Doesn't seem to do anything...just back and flashlight etc. I'll have to test this more.
Thanks, that's annoying!
Could u share your settings? On lte or just Bluetooth? With 5 pro I’m getting 3 days most of the time
Just bluetooth so far!
The Ultra has had some updates since this video. Have the health matrix improved?
have you activated all the health options like continuous heart and continuous stress tracking and sleep tracking options?
Continuous stress...intermittent heart rate.
Bro 😮 where did you buy that cream color band for the Galaxy Watch Ultra
Its the peak form band it comes in white grey and orange and they all look better than the band it comes in
Ive har all the Samsung watches an i have the new ultra . Never have i thought i needed a fitness only watch . I take calls trxt an emails on my watch all day . The Gorman just doesn't cut it as a proper smart watch/phone fyi the ultra is pretty damn accurate
Two diffrent watches, my Epix Pro gen2 51mm is the King of training and tracking. Nothing can beat Garmin there, but need Lte and calls/sms when out on bike in woods then my Aw Ultra or now Galaxy Ultra is the best thing. :)
Yep :)
100% brother! It's the beef cake mac daddy fitness watch.
I've had the whoop for several years. I don't think the monthly cost is worth it.
I have the Epic but I bought a Fitbit charge 6 that I have used for a while. Much cheaper and more data
Nice video. Would like to see comparison of map /navigation features.
How do you handle data management between Samsung health and Garmin? I don't think Samsung health syncs with Garmin. I have a withings smartwatch and Samsung health does sync with that
I believe there is an option for that but I don't know to which extent the data is synchronized. I used it shortly on my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro before I switched to the Epix Pro
Honestly, I dont...but good question. I use one of the other for 24 7 tracking.
im ordering Titanium white. what color of Marine band will mostly fit ?
I have a white on order too, I plan to test a few colors.
Could you test all official bands for ultra?
I have the marine bands en route...
How do the heart rate sensor compare to eachother
I already have galaxy watch 4 and its running smoothly. Should i upgrade to galaxy ultra or buy an whoop band instead ? Confused
Watch Ultra is a huge huge upgrade above Watch 4. No comparison.
Trades are pretty good, and depending on the size of your wrist, it might be a good upgrade!
Which band is on your Epix? The color looks great with the dark metal.
Amazon knockoff haha
Man, I keep seeing hate on the trail band. Guess I'll find out Friday
It looks nice but not my favorite band...
@@SammyGeek I chose it because the marine band looked bulky. I hoped this would be a little more comfortable and slim
First review about 3d haptics, thanks!
Thank you....Best I've seen!!
Is Samsung good for tracking the HR every second? My Garmin excels in that regard..
I'm currently using galaxy watch 5 pro . Do you think I need to upgrade my watch to Samsung Galaxy watch 7?
Thanks
I used one of my 5 Pro's as trade in for the GW Ultra. I am happy with it so far.
Why you have more than one pro@@black79montecarlo123
Don’t do it !!!
The silver looks awesome.
Thanks, I have the other colors en route!
I am.a Samsung fan and had Galaxy watch , Active 2, Watch 4 classic, Watch 5 pro and now 6 classic
BUT Iove Epix MANLY design - build, battery life
Now I have to choose eaither Watch Ultra or Epix pro
Both rule!!
How long is the battery life on both watches?
2 days Vs 12 days 😂
Have you eved run with both watchs on?
I have two times now. Do you have any questions about the performance between the two?
Not yet, but I will!
@@jonathantimm4645 Epix is better or Fenix? Or should I go for whoop band.
Epix 3 may finally bring some of the smarter features. Lets hope
Game on then!!
If that happens, the battery is going to plummet. It just how it is. The really smart functionalities require a much better processor, that requires a much better battery.
Idk why the ultra didn't release with the peak form bands unless they just wanted to get an extra $80 off people. It looks better and is a better middle ground where if you truly want an athletic band you could buy the marine band. These peak form vands look much better, I immediately swapped mine to one and once the white is in stock I'm gonna buy that one too
Samsung watches provide ECG (EKG) and blood pressure , measurements, which are essential health measures for some people,.
For sure!!
Garmin does too
@@hamhat-tt3lj I looked up the Garmin Epix Pro and it does ECG (in some regions), but not blood pressure.
@@hamhat-tt3lj , you're astupid liar!...
Beautiful strap on the W7U
I hope to have a nice collection of them soon...
Id like to see a comparison in faces. I have a fenix 5x and disappointed in the available watch faces.
The Fenix is a sports watch, and as such it has a more minimalist approach where features are concerned, but performance as a sports watch, battery life and sensor integration etc are in another league. The display will look nicer on the Samsung and it will be full of gimmicks, just not serious as a training tool like a proper sports watch is. Apple is the same as Samsung in this respect.
The trail band has actually given my wrist a bad rash.
Yeah not a fan...
Does the Galaxy Watch Ultra have a round-trip course?
It does have a version of track back.
@sammygeek so I was a long time Garmin user over 15 years last watch was a Epix Pro 2.....then moved to the Pixel Watch 2 LTE nice watch but to small....So then moved to the samung 5Pro paird with a 6 Classic...now Have a Ultra and 7 44mm. SO the other day my wife wanted to throw her Apple watch against the wall as she was tired with the watch and Battery life. So we grabbed her a Garmin 165 she also was a long time Garmin user. Loves the 165 ....now I have Garmin envy again but it has been about a year not using Garmin. Are you flipping back and forth or using the Samsung Ultra only now?
how was epix pro 2?
@@sully02988 it was great I actually sold all my Samsung watches and back to Garmin grabbed myself an epic Gen 2 did not go for the pro again. For the price I got one $300 cnd so could not justify the cost of a pro.
It's 1am here and whoever ran past 8n the video scared the fuck out of me 😅 sounded like someone was on my roof . Fuck.
Hahaha!! That was my kiddo!
Garmin Epix Gen2 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did have a 7.5 years old Garmin Fenix 3 watch. In the last 18 months, the GPS kept losing the location / total miles i would of completed when MTB at trail centres! Also it wouldn't up load properly on Strava! The charging cable / casing was hard to connect the properly to the watch!
Just traded it in for £100 to Samsung Ultra watch!
Happy so far, it's about right with 1 - 3/4 day of charge! Again takes battery life out when doing exercises such as weight training, spinning classes, n yoga.
Unfortunately I'd discovered the Ultra watch is not compatible with my Strava App as an example when complete a Spinning Class it would upload onto Strava to record the Sats! It's seems to only work if I do it the other way round such as Strava App live GPS location off my phone to record MTB and then it will transfer data to Samsung Health! This wouldn't be as accurate compared to Garmin n no heart rate recordings!
Please when reviewing the new Samsung Ultra watch can you record live fitness data and see if there a work round Strava!
It's a shame as I been using Strava for over 11 yrs or so with decent recordings, KOM, PB's!
What watch band is that
Garmin knockoffs from Amazon...
Why comparing Pro vs Non Pro watch? Thats not apple to apple?
If watch ultra equipped with torch. Would it be perfect
1000%!!
Galaxy plus whoop...best of both worlds.
Or the ring, ha!
I'm considering that too.
Worth it to switch from Quatix 6 aka Fenix 6 Pro to the Galaxy 7 Ultra?
A better choice would be to wait for the Fenix 8.
@RadimSkala03 do you know when Garmin will release the new line-up? I would be interested in the new Epix 3 eventually
@MarcoMarfia
The release date should be in September, so it won't be a long wait either.
@RadimSkala03 thanks, much appreciated
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm going to wait till September to see what garmin does, but tbh I'm looking for more smart watch features myself. I don't have much faith in Garmin delivering on that front
Titanium grey is definitely the best color. The two tone of the silver is strange to me
The grey looks like plastic and the fluorescent orange is too much.
@@ibby81ae I have it in person and it's far from plastic in looks or feel. It's super premium.
I'm struggling with what color to keep.
@SammyGeek, the orange will get old real quick.
@@ibby81ae that's what I'm thinking too....
I meant wouldn't upload to Strava
That's funny I hate the black and orange, although I have all the colors the black and orange is definitely going back!
Hahaha
Look at that beautiful amoled and saphire display on Samsung...garmin looks like it been made on stone age with horrible small display
Which comes to fitness, which one is better ? This guy talk and talks and i still dont know ... fitness related, which one is better , plain simple question
Garmin hands down.
Silly comparison. Ones a sport watch and t b e other is a smart watch. Chalk and cheese.
Samsung markets it as a hard-core sport watch, so let's compare to a hard-core sport watch! 😀
@@SammyGeekThe Samsung watch is not a harcore sports watch. It does not support ant + so cannot connect to devices and sensors that sports people use to get metrics on their performance and guage their progress. For this the Samsung watch is useless. It sucks to suck i guess lol !!!!
Garmin watches are great but the operating system is a failure and watch face is disgusting and few
Yes...
Samsung shitty
Though
No contest. Samsuns Watch's battery is ridicolous. It's mot a good option for serious sports
Huge variant on your BPM, one says 81, the other says 92
Interesting observation!!
I suppose different parts of the wrist/hand...
@@SammyGeek I feel like I should switch wrists because I wear my Epix Pro 51mm literally 24/7 and my skin is like flat melted circle lol. But when I switch it seems to throw everything off
Who cares about the led flash light dude? Are you serious? 5 minutes talking about the flash light gosh
More people care than don't.
That's what I said until I had a proper LED flashlight on my watch. It's crazy how much it actually comes in handy.
@@Trubyd44if you are adventurous into the woods then you should consider a proper flash light.
@@SammyGeekwhat can I say😅
@@petros.mitropoulos Oh, I have plenty of proper flashlights, but to always have one on your wrist, definitely worth the time for a reviewer to mention it, go over it, and listen to his opinion. 😁
Samsung shitty
