so we just got some Hands-On time with the Galaxy watch Ultra I guess the Galaxy watch 7 was there too but honestly this was the ultra show the Galaxy watch Ultra is very similar to the Apple watch Ultra they’re both marketed as being super durable and targeted towards extreme athletes you can take the Galaxy watch Ultra deep sea diving there are a bunch of bands for running climbing and swimming this new watch has an 85 D siren there’s a dark mode where the watch face turns red so it’s easier to read at night there is even an orange colored quick button that allows you to launch the workout app turn on a flashlight and a couple of other actions it adds dual frequency GPS and it has more battery life up to about 100 hours H where have we seen all of this before Ultra you know what different though the Galaxy watch Ultra is a little bit cheaper it’s only $649.99 this baby costs about 800 so I wore the Galaxy watch Ultra and the Apple watch Ultra 2 at the same time and I will say they are both Ultra chunky but Samsung’s feels a bit chunkier that’s because it’s got this squirkle shape so the case itself is squarish but the face is circular like every other Galaxy watch I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the shape yet but as far as wearability Goes My First Impressions were that they are very similar that said there are a few new things for both the ultra and the Galaxy watch 7 both have a new 3 nanometer processor and a new bioactive sensor there’s more LEDs and actually more colors of LEDs too like yellow blue violet and UltraViolet to be exact Samsung’s launching a new ages metric along with it it’s a bit experimental and Samsung didn’t have a whole lot to share about it the gist is that it gives you a sense of how well you’re aging but the big Health tracking features this time around are a new energy score and FDA cleared sleep apnea detection the energy score is similar to the Readiness scores we’ve seen from other health trackers but sleep apne detection is definitely a first both watches will also launch with were OS 5 and one UI 6 watch now I only got to see some demo units but I did notice two things first there’s no physical rotating pezel there is a digital touch bezel though I asked Samsung why and the short of it is that the physical rotating bezel is exclusive to the classic so if you want that that is the watch to get the other thing is that the quick button looks like a digital Crown but it’s not one mainly because it just does not scroll it’s just a button that definitely threw me off a bit while I was playing around with the watches but mostly because I’m so used to buttons like that scrolling we’ll have to see how well the ultra Samsung’s Ultra mind you doesn’t test and no it’s not the most original Smartwatch we’ve seen But to be fair there really wasn’t an equivalent to the Apple watch Ultra in the Android Smartwatch space now there is I just wish they named it something a bit different you know it would have made my life a whole lot easier because now I have to say the Samsung Galaxy watch Ultra is a lot like the Apple watch Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra
