I was actually pointing out the fact that you cannot answer a call directly on a Garmin without the phone nearby, but the galaxy ultra can as you can optionally pay for a mobile service for the watch, this also means you can get your messages, make and take calls directly on the galaxy ultra watch without needing to have a phone, wifi or Bluetooth connection. To some, this could be a big deciding factor 😅
The Fenix from a longevity and fitness performance perspective is waaaaay better. I have an Enduro 2 and the battery life and built in flashlight alone makes this a unreplaceable watch. I keep Samsung watches around to complete my Samsung ecosystem and that flawless connection to my phone can't be ignored. But that Fenix is definitely worth the price if you keep an eye out for sales
From 4 sensors to 13, just wait for the next Apple Watch. They will be like, '13? Pshh... ours have 50!' 😅😂😂 Because companies like to copy each other but slightly improve it. But in all seriousness, 13 sensors make this now the most accurate device on the planet... for now. 😄
Basically all default features you'd expect out of the box. Heart rate sensor, always on display (Fenix line up), Bluetooth and wifi always on etc. Garmin does Trump Samsung in the battery department by miles, but feature wise and convenience of use, Samsung gets the upper hand for integration of the Android experience. Fun fact, the garmin epix pro with its amoled and always on display will still net you 14 days off battery life between each charge.
@browncatt1 very untrue, if you want to just tell the time, you can enable battery saver mode which will turn off all sensors, then your garmin will have about 60 days of use before it needs to charge (depending on model). My instinct 2x solar on battery saver will give 99 days per charge or the epix pro will net close to 45 days. But if you do enable battery saver, then yes, it's just essentially just a watch.
@@404-Err0r I live in a house. We have outlets in the wall, so I can enjoy a fantastic bright AMOLED screen, and can make calls witout the phone. If the most important for you is battery mode, you do not need to buy a watch with premium features 😉
@@Caballen not sure where you got this info from (that all I want is battery life), I'm simply replying to the OP that Garmin has great Battery life, then someone else said that by default, Garmin can only tell the time which isn't true... Even on battery saving mode, you can do a lot more than just tell the time. I too enjoy taking calls on my watch ultra, they are 2 different watches that are aimed at different markets. One is for the everyday office/city life where it has the capacity to do some medium level of outdoor activities... The other is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts that wouldn't mind compromising on a few nice to have features of a smart watch, like taking a call without the phone. I use my Samsung watch ultra as a daily driver and my Epix pro for those multi-day/week outback adventures where electricity is scarce or non existent.
@Tha-King-Arthur I've read loads of stories of reliability issues with garmin ,true or not , I've had my 6 classic for a year ,I wear it to work ,as an electrician ,it's around dust all day ,never had any issues at all and the battery lasts me 2.5 to 3 days , I don't care about charging it every 2 days or so . The uktra has dueal gps now now ,so it should be a big improvement. But people are different, at the end of the day , everyone will go for what suits them best

One important difference you forgot to mention. Samsung watch ultra is LTE enabled where as Garmin will be Bluetooth only.

Garmin has no LTE. And that is unfortunately a manslaughter argument for me
Garmin for sport functions
Galaxy for smartwach functions
The Garmin wth the same build material as the Galaxy Ultra, $1,099. So, way, way, way higher than a Galaxy Ultra.
The Fenix from a longevity and fitness performance perspective is waaaaay better.

Garmin Epix 2 pro 51mm saphire edition with super amoled 31 days on smartwatch mode
Yes but no way near to Samsuns smartwatch features
If one only use watch fo sport Garmin is the best though
Damn. Been with Garmin for 7 years. This making me consider switching
watch ultra provides 3 day max batery on normal use, much less if you enable gps and training track

Wow 22days‼️ of battery capacity in smartwatch mode - what features are still working in smartwatch mode, I wonder⁉️ ⌚🔄🤔

$200 is slightly higher 😂
Samsung for me.
Garmin are shit when it comes to phone functions , so no chance I would buy one
Not shit, just not as well integrated. It does give you the basics. 😅
All the more reason for me to buy one. Everyones needs and requirements are different
