Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Garmin Epix Pro: The NYC Test Gauntlet!

Which GPS is the most accurate in one of the world's toughest GPS conditions: The Apple Watch Ultra 2 or the Garmin Epix Pro? In this test, I take them both for a spin on my standard route to see how well they hold up from a GPS accuracy standpoint.

In addition, I also include the Garmin Venu 3 and Apple Watch Series 9, to see whether these non-multiband (non-dual-frequency) GPS units can hold their own.

This guy is having a jet lag during his entire run, which he did while reviewing, talking and holding a Go Pro in his hand. Yet, he still managed to run at a faster pace than I did With 100% concentration.. Amazing..

Wow I love how you did the gps tracking against a 3D map! Great work!

The visualiztion of this is fantastic!

It's a crazy performance from the Apple Watches considering Garmin's core technology is GPS!

I enjoyed this tremendously, thank you! Welcome to my home! I’m a native New Yorker and loved your comments. My Venu 2s has a similar path as your Venu 3 along the city streets especially down Broadway. It was a relief to see that it wasn’t just my watch that veered. I can’t believe you ran under the West Side Highway. I guess it gave you a greater challenge than the open path along the Hudson River. Hope you had a great time with your father!

Wow, you rode on the Concord? Very fun GPS test gauntlet as always. Hope you're having a great trip! (unless this is old, weather looks too warm)

[Draconis]

That's dedication! Thanks for doing that comparison!

All seem good enough to me. How about altimeter and ascent/decent measurement accuracy? As a trail runner (and cyclist who loves mtn routes), I pay a lot of attention to them but have seen some really odd readings at times across various watches.

Brilliant Ray. Enjoy your trip. Thanks for sharing.

Great review. Thanks for taking us along!! 🎉

I was so confused about your outfit and was about to get my bike dusted off then I realized this is an older video 😂 UW2 is always reliable for me in this city 🌆 👍

This guy is the best and it’s not even close.

Great video & review of the watches. Thanks. But the biggest take home point is…you flew on Concorde!!!

[Sandra-dtec]

Perhaps include Suunto and others GPS devices? Thanks for a great video

[tadeg]

Very Interesting!

Idea: would be cool to retest all in an area where Apple cannot take advantage of Apple Maps correction (some dense forest?).

[missbutts]

Cool test. Would love to see something with the pace 3 since it has dual band gps at such a great price point

Nice work Ray. Cool video and commentary.

[dnicoya]

I was waiting for this video. Buying Apple ultra 2. 👍

That aircraft carrier behind you is epic 😂 Great content!

Thank you for that valuable review! How long did it take you to run that 15km !!
