Recently switched over from an Apple Watch and now I am using a galaxy watch 7 and loving it. Although the Apple Watch was accurate I had issues with a few models over the years with the heart rate sensor dropping out. Some days I would get one hrv rating and some days it would be four it was inconsistent and twice during marathons the sensor would just stop working for thirty minutes at a time.
One thing that keeps me from going back to Android/WearOS is the Apple ecosystem support for Diabetes monitoring devices. My CGM connects directly to my Apple Watch Ultra 2 so I can continue monitoring my BG even when I don't have my phone on me. There is actually no official support for CGM's on WearOS devices, you are forced to use 3rd party apps and none of them really work well. If my CGM worked with WearOS and had the same experience or better than my Apple devices, I would likely switch back in a heart beat.
When I'm running I could not hear the audio from the AWU2, it's very loud with Samsung Ultra useful for reps and Hr readout etc. Better user experience with Ultra so easy to use the new ultra watch faces put it level with the Apple in terms of looks.
The Samsung Ultra is a very cool looking watch, but it’s the lack of fitness and hiking support that kills it. There is no apps like WorkOutDoors that has hiking maps or TRIMP based heart rate workout and training load suggestions like Athlytic, Gentler Streak or Healthfit on the Android platform. Garmin and Apple are way ahead right now in the fitness space. Which is too bad because this hardware is pretty awesome and the software experience is superior in many ways.
The main thing where Samsung is really behind is their Health Monitoring Accuracy. Apple Watch is the best watch for Health/Fitness Tracking at least Imo!!
@@DirtCheapFU No, Apple is one of the Most Accurate Smart Watches out there. While Galaxy watches are not that accurate and also have connectivity issues. You should check out @TheQuantifiedScientist
@@DirtCheapFU Think he was talking "smart watches"... Garmin doesn't count since not a smart watch but more a fitness tracker watch which is fine if that is the only thing you want from a watch (besides telling the time) but just not a smart watch
My Apple Watch in Nav, I just glance at it for the turns. And let’s be honest who is using a watch to browse? Workouts: Never had it where I needed to count steps and workout. The iPhone auto does step counts when the watch is busy. Blood O2 yeah fortunately all of us who got tech before then are just fine. Odds are they’ll have that sorted by next watch season. I mean… a company that big… they got money to grease a few palms just like Samsung and Google. Sleep apnea: Yeah that’s cool, but if my partner has to slap me to get ne to start breathing again due to snoring, I’m sure I’ll know without the watch. Workout detection: yeah apples had that for a while. It kicks in after a few minutes for me. Can determine indoor vs outdoor walk, run, etc…. Fortunately me just saying “Siri start X workout” or doing shortcuts if it’s that interesting is simple enough. As for phone compatibility yeah that’s cool might be an issue I guess, but I don’t like Google. They made the operating system and profit by stealing data about what I do on my stuff. My stuff is my stuff. Just my pov. I like my iphone. AI. Yeah watchOS 11 I’ve been testing it. Has cool AI features. Still in beta till September so not all features are out just yet. But as of yet the voice transcription is by far the best of any watch (yes even pixel watch) Overall it’s a nice watch. But Google has enough data. And I’m not comfortable giving it to a company that sells my data without me also profiting. I did have to buy the device they use to steal from me after all.

What other features did I miss? Let me know and I'll get those included next time!
Nice info thanks
Is there a difference in charging speed on Galaxy watch 6 Classic vs Watch 7 Ultra ?
You can’t dive with the galaxy Watch ultra
If you download Merge on your Samsung watch you can even pair it to an iPhone.

Samsung heart rate is so bad, look at reviews
@foetor not the new ones especially the ultra is very accurate

Custom ringtons and notification sounds is available on WatchOS 11

How’s the watch swimming, holiday sea / pool etc?
Samsung is just on another level 🔥💪🏾🔥
I can give 1 reason. The only reason needed. It works with your Galaxy phone. Ultra 2 doesnt. Sounds like the better option imo.
Love my galaxy watch ultra with my s24 ultra ❤
You forgot the best feature that galaxy watches have had since the 4, the bioactive sensor (bio-impedance)
WearOS is better in general imo
Personally, a round rugged watch feels true to the original, but that's just for me
No diving and jumping in water and 10atm? Kinda strange….😂
„Work with any phone“
Working yes but not every feature
Hi, i already have mi watch ultra, but i dont know how to activate de ai integration to response messages.
@@dariorojano3444 u need 6.1.1 on your phone

Not true at all
I'll toss Samsung in on that. Apple and Samsung are not the best, just the most convenient platforms.

Samsung is not great in terms of Accuracy, this is a Fact!!

Still looks like a cheap copy though
@@txkingg 🤣🤣🤣
I still think apple the best fr. The eco system among many other things 💯
@@mubyumar so wrong
Nah. Samsung ecosystem is lightyears ahead. Apple is cool and everything. But yeah... Samsung is the standard most ppl are trying to ignore.
Saying that makes it seem like the galaxy doesn't also have an ecosystem
@@johnsonjoseph1404 it's just my personal take and experience i guess
@@ifrankenstein7455 it does and it's a nice experience ngl but apple is like the best with their products
