Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Apple Watch Ultra 2

The Ultra 2 excels at outdoor fitness tracking with precision GPS, depth gauge, water temperature sensor, and comprehensive workout metrics.

• Dual-frequency GPS is the most accurate on any smartwatch — tracks runs under tree cover flawlessly
• Depth gauge and water temperature make it a legitimate dive computer to 40m
• Advanced training metrics still lag behind Garmin for serious endurance athletes

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Solid fitness tracking but the software doesn't match the hardware's outdoor ambitions.

• Heart rate tracking and sleep monitoring are accurate, but Samsung Health still isn't as comprehensive as Apple Health or Garmin Connect.
• For the 'Ultra' branding, the lack of advanced outdoor features like topographic maps and trail navigation is disappointing.
