In this video, I dive into my review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, focusing on its real-world performance for hiking. After spending a few months testing it in challenging spots like Angeles National Forest and Annie's Canyon, I share my observations about how it stacks up against other GPS watches for the trail. With its multi-GNSS, multi-band positioning, the Galaxy Watch Ultra should be capable, but in tighter areas and slot canyons, it had some struggles compared to other watches like the Apple Watch and Garmin models.
When it comes to navigation, I highlight the pros and cons of using Samsung Health, Google Maps, and Outdoor Active apps on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Samsung Health stood out as the easiest option for GPX imports and offline maps, offering a seamless experience for basic hiking navigation. On the downside, the watch doesn't allow for positioning or altimeter calibration, which could be a dealbreaker for some users wanting that extra control. Battery life was solid for day hikes, giving about 10 to 14 hours of activity time with navigation running—enough for most trail days, but if you’re planning longer treks, a Garmin might still be the better choice.
This Galaxy Watch Ultra has some strong points as a general-purpose smartwatch, with a clear display and responsive interface that handled my tests without any major glitches. While the Wear OS app selection is still limited compared to Apple, the built-in flashlight, customizable buttons, and heart rate tracking perform well. For anyone looking for a hiking-compatible Wear OS device that fits into the Android ecosystem, the Galaxy Watch Ultra could be a good option. But if battery life, offline maps, and extreme ruggedness are priorities, a dedicated hiking watch like Garmin or Coros might serve you better.
