Podcast Showdown pt. 2 of 2: Smartwatches Put to the Test - You Won't Believe Who Wins! $600+ Galaxy Watch Ultra vs $60 Galaxy Fit 3

Send us Fan MailHow Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra with its high price tag has at least 2 things it surprisingly does not do well. In real life testing, I found that the much cheaper Galaxy Fit 3 (2024) has a more accurate heart rate monitor when exercising. It seems that on the Ultra, as soon as the timer is used in conjunction (to measure interval between reps) the heart rate goes completely off by sometimes 30 beats off per minute. Once, by placing both devices on at the same time, suddenly the Ultra corrected its measurement to match that of the Fit 3! The other thing the Ultra fails at is battery life. At first it lasted 3.5 days without always on display and after merely a year or so, it is at 2.5 days while the Fit 3 last for multiple days.
