In the weekly column 'Sunday Runday,' Android Central's Wearables Editor Michael Hicks delves into the latest developments in wearables, apps, and fitness tech. Recently, after criticizing Samsung for not prioritizing fitness, Hicks was pleasantly surprised by the Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra's revamped features, including improved HR accuracy and dual-band GPS. In a two-day test, he found the upgrades promising, with the Ultra showing better accuracy in GPS tracking and heart rate monitoring compared to previous models. Despite minor discrepancies in step counting, the Galaxy Watch Ultra's performance impressed Hicks, especially with its brighter display and long battery life. He believes that Samsung has made significant strides on the hardware front, positioning the Ultra as a top contender among fitness watches, even though software improvements could still be made in future updates.
