Verdict: Garmin fēnix 9 47mm ahead on 1 row, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 47mm on none
On the makers’ published figures, the Garmin fēnix 9 47mm wins on battery life (maker's claim) (384 h against 80 h). One gap is borderline, a difference most people would not notice: weight (case only) (53 g against 61.5 g) for the Garmin fēnix 9 47mm. Both state the same case size. The other 27 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.
Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice on the wrist. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
