Nor is it a smartwatch that has been designed for the bulk of the population, and its specifications already allow us to glimpse it: it is for athletes. bring one with you sapphire crystal display which is specifically designed to withstand all kinds of blows. In addition, it is larger than usual, with 1.4 inches. As if this were not enough, it should also be noted that it is made of titanium. There will be no risk sport that can end this watch.
Internally, it has a powerful Exynos W920 processor. Although the key to its success lies in its powerful battery, 590mAh. Thanks to that, Samsung promises up to 72 hours of autonomy. Again, everything is focused on efficiency, to last as long as possible and to depend as little as possible on the charger. There will be no marathon that will resist you, nor will you have to stop training due to the battery of your smartwatch.
As for the sensors sports, it has absolutely everything you can imagine: SpO2, ECG, heart rate, blood oxygen… Everything! It will monitor both your day to day and your sleep so you can know your health status at all times.
Apple Watch Ultra: better than Samsung’s watch?
A few weeks later, Apple introduced its new Apple Watch Ultra. The technique was the same: a smartwatch designed for athletes of elite that needed a great resistance. Again, they bet on the titanium body to offer greater resistance. And we also found a flat crystal of Sapphire, seeking that there is no blow capable of breaking or damaging it. As you can see, the logic is very similar for both companies.
At a sports level, you will find exactly the same as in Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. All the details have been taken care of to, in this way, offer a watch suitable for the most demanding.
yes you will find aesthetic differences compared to traditional Apple Watch models. It has a new side action button that will allow you to quickly access specific functions, which you can easily configure.
In the drumsHowever, it is weak compared to the Samsung smartwatch. In this case, we are talking about 36 and 60 hours. Yes, it is a big increase compared to other Apple watches… But it does not reach what Samsung offers. To this we must add that his price it is much, much!, higher than the first one that we have mentioned. And if almost €500 seemed like a lot to you, €999 will seem like a lot more.
A close battle: which watch is better?
Let’s start from the base, when comparing these smartwatches, that both are designed to a very specific audience. Or for athletes who really need to be aware of all the parameters related to their health, or anyone who can afford it. Because maybe you don’t do sports but you want to have the most pro watch that Apple has released so far.
Either way, both watches are very similar and they offer very similar things. At a sporting level, you will find very few differences. While it is true that Apple has taken more care of the details with its Apple Watch Ultra, the sensors they are very similar in the two terminals. And the functions that you can perform are also: same sports activities, same parameters. The difference is, perhaps, certain spheres that Apple offers and that may be useful at certain times. Like, for example, a compass that will be at your disposal just by raising your wrist.
On the other hand, with both smartwatches you can download apps. But, of course… Operating systems are totally differentand this is the crux of the matter. Can two watches that are designed for different systems really be in competition?
The key when deciding: operating systems and compatibility
While the Apple Watch Ultra has watch OS 9the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has wear OS. And what does this mean? Well, they are compatible with totally different smartphones. If you have an Android phone, you will not be able to use the Apple Watch, with which your doubt is resolved: the Samsung one is better. But, if you have an iPhone, yes you could use both devices although with certain restrictions.
From Topes de Gama we have it clear. So much for the autonomy as for the price range, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro seems like a better choice.
