Two watches to go out of the beaten track. One speaks the language of iOS, the other that of Android. Same promise: hold the shock, guide, measure, reassure. This comparison “Apple Watch Ultra Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra” goes to the essentials: material, real uses, autonomy, ecosystems, prices.
49 mm grade 5 titanium housing, flat sapphire glass, apparent screws, Button actionintegrated mermaid. WR100 (ISO 22810) sealing and compliance in 133319 for leisure diving up to 40 m. IP6X dust resistance and MIL -STD -810H tests. A watch designed for cold, warm, sandy, salty environments.
47 mm titanium case (1.5 "), sapphire glass, Quick Buttonprotected crown. 10 ATM + IP68 and MIL - STD - 810H. Screen very readable in the sun (up to 3,000 nits) and emergency mermaid up to 86 dB.
What it changes on the wrist - The Apple is wider and angular, very stable with gloves or underwater. The Samsung is a little more compact, less massive, comfortable for mixed city/land use. The two screens are extremely bright: clear readability in full sun as at night.
ECG, SPO₂, temperature (skin/water), always active altimeter, deep meter, detection of falls and accidents, sleep monitoring with detection of probable apneas. Leisure diving (up to 40 m) is based on dedicated apps (eg Oceanic+) with diving journal and surface GPS points.
Bioactive sensor (ECG, cardiac frequency), followed by blood pressure via Samsung Health Monitor (calibration with brassard), metabolic aged index, detection of falls and SOS. Note: in Europe, ECG and tension require a compatible Galaxy smartphone for the dedicated app.
In practice - Beginners/confirmed divers: Apple advantage thanks to compliance in 13319 and the deep meter designed for regular aquatic use. Cardio + tension follow -up: Samsung advantage, provided you are in the Galaxy ecosystem.
GPS double - frequency (L1 + L5) on both. In dense town or in conceded valleys, the precision progresses significantly compared to previous generations.
Precision Start, advanced racing/trail profiles, racing dynamics, cards and points of interest, backtrack, fine compass, mermaid and context button. Global logic favors the moving clarity and the reliability of alerts.
Multisports mode (triathlon), GPX guidance with track back, personalized FC zones, Quick Button for fast transitions, Night Automatic Mode. The approach emphasizes the continuity of effort and the reading of the traces.
User translation - Bivouac weekend with GPX traces and offline photos: Samsung best takes long continuous recording. Apple compensates by fine energy saving settings and a very rich outdoor apps ecosystem. On a daily basis (work + long session), the two go: plan a recharge every 36 to 48 hours to keep margin.
LTE/UMTS ESIM, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-fi, UWB of 2e Generation (Locate/Precision Find), Apple Pay, Gymkit. Works only with the iPhone: Siri, Plans, Health, Fitness+, Homekit are fitted without friction. The whole is consistent, responsive and secure.
LTE ESIM, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi -Fi, NFC (Samsung Wallet), Wear OS with One Ui Watch, Smartthings integration and Galaxy AI functions (Energy Score, Coaching). Android 11 and more compatible, optimal experience with a galaxy smartphone. Large flexibility on the notifications, widgets and dials.
Sober conclusion: two philosophies, the same playground. If your digital life is centered on the iPhone and the sea is part of your outings, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 remains the most consistent. If you are living on Android, look for GPS endurance and the flexibility of an action button designed for multi -stage racing, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is essential. In both cases, we talk about tools: they must disappear at your service, not the opposite. Choose according to your journeys, not the technical sheet.
