Wait that was like 3 years before apple even dropped a watch.. o yeah my fault apple 🐑 dont think for them selfs apple is the one that tells them how to think and say things i forgot 😂.. this is why apple sheep are just a dam joke and always have been.

Great video guys. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is considered a 'Cushion' design which is used in many high-end Swiss watches. The Panerai Submersible being the most recognized Italian watch. I would attach a picture if I could. I agree. I have an Apple Watch Ultra, Garmin Epix Pro 51mm and the Samsung Black Ultra with Orange strap. If Garmin would give me an Epix Pro 51mm with cellular it would be game over, but don't think that will happen any time soon. Keep up the great work!

It's funny, but I don't think it really matters if someone's copying a good design. How many traditional watches are "inspired" by old Rolex designs? It's like cars. They all start looking like each other after a while. These companies are interconnected a lot anyway. Samsung is still making a lot of Apple's components. Nice podcast

The moment you talk about products without comparing them to the market/competition, you do users a disservice. If people like us hadn't complained for half a decade that the optical HR sensor & GPS on the Samsung watches was so bad compared to their competitors, then frankly, Samsung never would have fixed it. Just like how we talked about how Apple's Training Load isn't all that great compared to their competitors, else, Apple won't fix it. (-Ray)

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is NOT certified for diving at all! It specifically says so on Samsung's own web page. Not below 1.5 meters. The 10 min 10 ATM is static pressure only. Good for swimming and diving in from the jetty, but that's about it. BTW, the squircle design isn't Apple at all! It's a cushion type case and was introduced in 2017 with the Samsung Gear Sports. Regarding not having external sensors, a mistake by Samsung in my view, but in general they want control. I also believe Samsung are in the business of selling data, and that data should come from Samsung's closed loop readings, which they then can vouch for. There are more signs of control and exclusivity as part of the Samsung mentality or corporate culture. I work out with weights. Previously Google Fit had a had rep counting built in. This is now exclusive to Samsung, and external apps are not allowed in at the sensor level so no external apps can offer this service. Meanwhile Samsung could really in a few rather easy moves, low hanging fruit, collect, analyze and, in today's speak A.I-fy the data into actionable items. They're not doing it, and neither can anyone else. Control. They may do it in the future, but for now no one else can do it. Futhermore, starting with these new watches Samsung are blocking external watch face apps that can provide far more advanced watch faces, particularly visually, but henceforth only the Samsung controlled Watch Face Format will be allowed. Again, control. Chaebols make up South Korean business practice - everything is connected, vertically integrated, and closed to outsiders. That's how they have built their industry, and perhaps this is mirrored in their approach regarding external sensors and key apps.

Galaxy design is pretty much the Galaxy gear sport watch from years ago with circle face and cushion. This watch looks like a polished watch, not a gadget like Apple. Ultra has been used by Samsung for premium since Galaxy ultra 2020. The orange color is going to be a thing for all diving watches due to it being easier to spot under water. Aside from the color, watch straps are watch straps. Samsung was the first to popularize Smart watches 2 years before Apple had any.

In my case, the HRV numbers are +30ms above their competitors. While Samsung could potentially be using SDNN instead of RMSSD, but that honestly wouldn't account for the massive difference (I can't find documentation yet on which method Samsung is using, but it's very likely RMSSD like everyone except Apple using SDNN). Either way, they're crazy high in comparison. Lots of potential reasons, could be the recording interval might be more smoothed, or some other reasons. (-Ray)

I'm wanting a 2nd watch as an insurance policy for my aging Pixel Watch and was really hoping this would be the time Sammy got it right. I've seen lots of individual users who are claiming theirs is much better than their previous iterations, but who knows how much "testing" they've really done with it. This makes two of the three "big" wearable tech reviewers that I follow who have given it the thumbs down. Looking forward to seeing the full review of the 7, but won't be rushing to the store this week, apparently.

Zwift is a nice to have... there are other options that are free. The "social" is BS if you are using it as a training tool. It's NOT THAT great as a training tool in the first place as there are no support for HR based or RPE based training. There is no flexibility to use CP as the metric instead of FTP. Many coaches and athletes have moved away from FTP due the 'false' metrics that it creates.

A very instructive interview. I discovered Zwift recently, used to run and switched to cycling recently due to issues with my legs. Living in the UK, I was already dreading the winter ride and I was looking for an option (cheap enough) to allow me to train all year long. For me the Zwift Ride fits the price plan and I took the plunge this morning. I am now eagerly awaiting to try it out. So I am one of these new to Zwift customers and I think Eric and his team has worked appropriately, this product was sufficiently enticing for me that I did not look anywhere else to get my first indoor trainer.
