The Galaxy Watch Ultra (mostly) lives up to Samsung's lofty fitness promises


Both the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 have upgraded heart rate and GPS data. I put their revamped accuracy to the test.

My Galaxy Watch Ultra review unit arrived on a 102ºF Thursday afternoon, so my testing time was limited to the last two sweaty mornings (I'm writing this on Saturday). I attribute it to taking my watch off for photos before the run and not making it tight enough; it wobbled as I pumped my arms until I tightened it during the first lap, and the results improved (though not immediately). I love having a dedicated button to pause or restart workouts, only to be annoyed when I have to swipe multiple times to change screens, even when I try to wipe the sweat off my fingers.
