Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra hands-on: Didn't fall far from the Apple tree


Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is remarkably similar to the Apple Watch Ultra, right down to the name. Our hands-on experience only reinforces the sense of deja vu.

The Korean company has a long history of aping Apple, and has even had to pay the iPhone maker millions of dollars as part of a multi-year patent infringement case. Apple formally launched Double Tap on the Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 last year, though the bones of the gesture-based navigation has existed as an accessibility feature for longer. I’m recuperating from a recent injury and did not take a nap at the hands-on event, so I wasn’t able to check out the new sleep features or really even jump about to see how long my heart rate changes might take to register.
