The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is great.… it’s also a pretty shameless rip.

#Companies #Copy #Other..
I think it’s a great idea for Android companies and Apple to have auxillary devices that are so similar so that the customer’s needs are met on either side and governing bodies like the EU can’t complain that one company is hogging all of the best services to entrap the majority of customers.
I think Marques stretched it too far this time by listing down things that were already there in the galaxy watches for generations as “lifting from the watch pro”
What do you mean by copy each other ?? every time samsung and other tech companies (specifically Samsung) are trying to copy apple.I’m not a apple fan.but I need to say this.I think you’re a huge fan of samsung.that’s ok.but dont give a wrong picture to your audience.
I would have wanted to see them stock to circular and not this squiggly square shape. Looks weird.
8:52 fin.
The thing is; we all agree all companies copy each other at a certain level, but the difference is that when Apple does it, they almost always give the product, service or whatever a turning point, making it feel like an Apple product. This case is just ridiculous imo. I will never take seriously a company that spends all of its days mocking Apple, and then just make the exact same products with no second thoughts (like the earbuds its just shameful come on…). Anyway, this only proves that apple products (some better than other companies, some not) are at least Apple products.
so sad Samsung
4:07 Marques doesn’t say what feature he has the biggest issue with, that Samsung has copied.
At 5:33 you say the rotating crown but probably mean the rotating bezel
I just don’t understand why an Android company added a feature or design that’s like Apple got criticised so much, but not the other way around. In fact, Apple copied more from Andriod and Windows Phone.
Oh, so when Samsung copies Apple it’s a HUGE deal. Yet, Apple has been copying Samsung for YEARS and stating it’s the “new era of technology.”
Samsung has been using the “Ultra” branding for their top product lines ever since discontinuing their Note series. This branding now extends to their Galaxy Watch series, signifying a premium, high-end product line.
It’s worth noting that Apple introduced the “Ultra” tag for their Apple Watch Ultra later, while their top iPhone models have traditionally been labeled “Pro Max.”
Samsung’s incorporation of orange accents and specific design features in their watches seems to draw inspiration from their existing product lines. For example, the use of an orange button and marine-related features in their watches might remind users of similar elements in their other broader device range. Samsung has used orange accents in several other products:
Before its discontinuation, the Galaxy Note series often featured S‑Pen accessories in various colors, including orange.
The Galaxy Active watches have also been seen with orange bands and highlights.
Certain versions of the Galaxy Buds and their cases come in bright colors, including orange.
Devices like the Galaxy XCover series, designed for rugged use, sometimes feature orange accents to enhance visibility and aesthetics.
On the other hand, Apple’s iOS has historically adopted various features initially introduced by Android. Each new iOS update often includes functionalities that were first seen on Android devices, highlighting the continuous exchange of ideas and features between the two leading operating systems.
Apples adoption of the Ultra tag and various design features reflect the broader industry trend of cross-influence and innovation Similar to Samsung’s orange button .
Looks like the galaxy gear sport from a while back
Basically Samsung becoming like a Chinese company lol
The rotating part is missing for purely commercial purposes! They want you to still be tempted to buy current and future classic versions!
honestly the lack of rotating bezel is what kept me from getting this. Samsung was offering $350 for my 6 Classic on top of a $50 credit when using the Samsung app to order, so it brought down the price a ton… but.. alas.. no dice.. maybe next year!
Just got my Watch Ultra and totally agree with you, coming from the Galaxy 4Classic. I loved the rotating bezel. Would have been a slam dunk, but I’ve also always wanted an ultra model from Samsung so this totally works for me, even just on the battery life alone lol
So after 10y nothing new. Still shit battery and only “software feature” that any 50€ crapper could do. The Samsung cushion design is really horrible. They should’ve copied the original Seiko design if so.
A original copy product 😂
Hey the ocean called…..😂
Ngl but I didn’t like the galaxy watch ultra design at all it’s looks so ugly compared to apple watch ultra
Samsung combined both square and round dial which doesn’t look good at all
Innovation died when steve died and u can say he wasnt a innovator but i will rebuttal and say “atleast he gave people the freedom to make risks” and to that.. thats a innovator. Dude invested so much to ideas people had the others thought where dumb or couldnt work and just went at it to get funding etc and got it done…
Did want to point out not all of the mentioned features have been copied directly from Apple, for example, hold to edit the watch face has been a thing in every wear os watch for years, and the remapable button has been in almost every wear os watch including old galaxy watches. However I do agree the form factor is very similar.
Samsung looks way better
Damn spreading misinformation to your already misinformed American audience I see
How else can samsung get the mindless apple sleep to convert over, apple users are mindless
True, that was im thinking when i was first saw this in store. Where the hell is rotating bezel that was easiest way to use in any smart watch.
I think, only the orange scheme, band designs, and to some extent, the quick button is copied. The rest like watch faces customization, app menu, hand gestures have been around for many years, and even some of them were there in the tizen time.
The choice of body material can not be called copying, and the ultra name is samsung top of the line naming convention on phones, tablets, and laptops. So it completely makes sense here regardless of what apple named their watch.
First time seeing apple watch ultra showed stutter when accessing watch face customising compared to samsung watch ultra which is kinda new for me. I mean apple products usually fluid in almost every part of the ui unlike competing brands like samsung. But here I see samsung watch ultra was smooth when accessing watch face customising compared to apple watch ultra. It’s not like I am saying it’s deal breaker or something but it is something we generally never saw before as most competitors generally fails to match apple in terms of ui fluidity at some parts.
other than the strap and name, how does the gwu look like the awu?
The fact that Samsung is acting copying itself and dive watches in the industry is lost on yall. Samsung already has done this design years ago.
All I want from my watch is to show time and maybe date, so I’ll stay with my $50 Casio
Can’t have a rotating bezel and be an extreme outdoor watch
I have both! They r pretty much the same watch. Just different OS. A regular apple watch, or a regular watch 7 is perfectly fine. These ultra watches r not a must have in my opinion.
Facts. unfortunately, now apple can’t make a round watch lol
Sounds to me samsung tried to innovate but gave up because consumers are stupid. So fuck it
Picked up my Samsung Ultra watch traded in my Classic Watch 4 and so glad I did I got over 325 in trade in and if people want to call Samsung a copy cat.……APPLE HAS DONE THIS FOR YEARS! the Apple faithful just do not know any better because all they use is an Iphone and know of nothing else.
