The Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are premium smartwatches released this summer with similar titanium construction and durability ratings for swimming and diving. Both offer 64GB storage, but differ in processors, display size and brightness, battery life, and health features, with the Galaxy featuring a brighter 5,000-nit display and up to 60 hours of battery versus Apple's 50-hour claim.
Apple announced new smartwatches, the Series 12 and Ultra 4, with Audio Intelligence features that can listen to and summarize ambient sounds and conversations. The opt-in features process audio locally on a secure chip without creating recordings, though some users express privacy concerns about always-listening technology.
