Samsung presented its Galaxy Watch Ultra on July 10, the in-house competitor to the Apple Watch Ultra, updated last summer by the Apple brand. Can the eponymous product, from Busan in South Korea, overshadow the Apple Watch Ultra 2 ? Answer in this comparison.
From the outside, the two watches don't have much in common. Samsung in fact maintains a round shape, very different from Apple's square watch. On the choice of colors also, the two companies differ. Apple relies on orange keys, notably on the Action button, to distinguish an Apple Watch Ultra on the wrist. Samsung is more sensible, with sober colors.
There are many points in common
If the watches are aesthetically different, they nevertheless share many common points. The first is the use of titanium. Samsung has chosen, like Apple, to use this ultra-resistant metal to build a quality watch.
Galaxy AI to make the difference?
But Samsung has more than one trick up its sleeve. The South Korean brand can notably count on Galaxy AI, its in-house artificial intelligence tool. Samsung promises that this integration will make it easier to track health data. The brand notably announces the arrival of an “energy score” available every morning. Sleep analysis should also benefit from the arrival of Galaxy AI, with an increased accuracy of 30%.

Features related to artificial intelligence that simply don't exist on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Apple has made several announcements of similar options, with the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The arrival of Apple Intelligence, but this functionality is not yet present in a connected watch.
The price favors Samsung
Could the justice of the peace between these two watches be the price ? While high-end products see their prices soar. In order to fight against the explosion of prices on wearables, Samsung has decided to “limit” with a sale price “content” for its Galaxy Watch Ultra. It is marketed by the South Korean firm from 699 euros in a 47mm format.
On the Cupertino side, Apple was not as generous on the sale price. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is priced at €849, which is €150 more than Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra.
The unbeatable Apple ecosystem
But the unbeatable argument of all Apple products is undoubtedly their integration into the ecosystem. Although Samsung has made great efforts in this area in recent years, it is difficult to imagine it competing with Apple.
Apple has made its ecosystem its trademark, it does not intend to be overtaken by its long-time rival, despite the notable efforts of Samsung.
