Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and 7 hands-on: Sensor overload, rugged designs, and cheaper than Apple


Samsung's answer to the Apple Watch Ultra is loaded with sensors at a more affordable price. I spent time with both devices, and here's what you need to know.

Both new smartwatches boast an AMOLED display, IP68 rating, Sapphire Crystal glass, double the memory at 32GB, and a new Exynos W1000 processor. The upgraded processor also makes possible new AI fitness features like Energy Score, which analyzes various metrics -- sleep time, activity, and more -- to give you recommendations and Wellness Tips to improve your health. The Galaxy Watch 7 is the first Samsung smartwatch to offer a dual-frequency GPS system that can track your location more precisely.
