Bad Battery to High-Tech Bliss on the all New Samsung Watch 7 Ultra
In today’s video, I’m sharing my experience with the all-new Samsung Watch 7 Ultra. My initial unit didn’t have the best battery life, but thanks to Samsung’s fantastic support team, I received a replacement that’s truly impressive! 🌟
What’s in the Box? I’ll take you through the unboxing of this sleek new device and show off its upgraded battery performance. Spoiler: The battery life is significantly better, and it’s been a game-changer for me!
The Rotating Bezel - Gone but Not Forgotten: One thing you might notice is the absence of the beloved rotating bezel. I had mixed feelings about this at first, but I’ve grown to appreciate the new digital bezel. It’s sleek, intuitive, and offers a fresh way to interact with the watch. I’ll share my thoughts on this change and how it stacks up against the classic design.
💪 Health and Fitness: The Watch 7 Ultra isn’t just a tech marvel; it’s also packed with incredible health and fitness features. From heart rate monitoring to sleep tracking, this watch is designed to help you stay on top of your wellness goals.

Georgia Power off peek charging times are 11:00PM to 7:00AM. You’re paying $210 per year road tax in Georgia.
@@ronniemullis8717 thanks for sharing. My license plate renewal sticker is higher due to my car being an EV. About 100 dollars more than a normal car.
How much did you pay for the replacement?
I paid 650 minus my trade in credit for 350 and they will also refund my account 50 dollars due to the pre-order I did.
@@evandtechlife ohkay and how much battery do you get on your gw 6 classic, I just bought it around 1 week ago and it only lasts about 17-18 hrs with lte and off, and with on its more bad, is it normal or its something bad with my battery?
Do you think there were issues with the initial batches?
Not sure. Are you having problems with yours? I know my replacement watch is working just fine.
Good video. I own a '22 California Route One with the RWD extended range battery. After 34,000 miles, I see zero drop in range. I still use the Ford 110v charger. Great car, we've taken it on a few interstate road trips from California to Nevada and many road trips within California. I used the A2Z NACS adapter when driving up to Mammoth, which only has Tesla supercharging. I feel bad for you people who live where it gets cold. Here in Los Angeles, my winter range is the same as my summer range.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. It's great hearing stories from other EV owners like you.
Great vídeo! Just subscribed
Thanks so much!
Fair review! I have 2 Dacia Spring and I charge them from the electric panels. Here in Romania kWh is from 10 to 25 cents... When charging at home, can you limit charging to (2kW)?
Thanks for sharing. Not sure about how to limit while charging.
Wait, what…1 cent per kWh? Wow! We have tiered pricing here in California which is either 43 cents or 53 cents per kWh. Still, we are only paying on average $125/month for charging the car only at home. This is the cost for only the EV charging portion of our bill. We use the Wall Box charger we got at Costco. We have a 2023 RWD Select with the 72 kWh LFP battery which supposedly can be charged to 100% with little ill effects. We take ours to 100% but only charge it weekly on average. We have seen a slight drop in calculated estimated range but I’m sure most of that is due to the way I drive. So we still love the car. It looks great in Grabber Blue and it so quick and quiet. I don’t get why some people shy away from EVs. Probably mostly because of price but like you said, everything else about it is pretty cheap. We only have just under 11,000 mile on ours and we will have had it a year in October.
@ArVeeNiner thanks for sharing. Yes, where I live the kWh are not that high, Yet. I would say the average kWh is around 8 cents. Also with your battery that you have, I hear the same thing that you can charge to 100%. I don't have that battery. But I guess the newer models have them. I'm glad you like your EV. They are so much fun to drive and have very low maintenance costs for yearly driving. For me, it made scene to buy an EV. Thanks again.
You have to pay a lot more to live in the Democrat Socialist Republic of California.
Right on man. Great presentation
Thanks. I really appreciate that!
Pretty good review! I'm getting Pretty much the same mileage out of my Nissan Ariya. Cold weather does play a factor in range. I already replaced my tires with 27,000 miles. The original set was Dunlop, a softer compound with better grip than what I have now. I do charge at home. The charging station is about 20 miles away, so it's very necessary to charge at home. My first EV and very satisfied with it.
That is great to hear. Thanks for sharing. I will be having to get new tired soon as well.
Honestly curious about the winter battery life you're talking about...We've really not noticed a massive difference in winter in our ID4. The winter tires eat into range for sure, and we see about a 10% improvement in the efficiency rating when we swap those out in April each year. Then maybe another 10% hit or so from temps and using more heat and luxuries, but again nothing I'd say was awful, terrible, etc as you've said
Thanks for your comment. I do alot of driving on certain days and during the summer, spring, fall months, I am able to do my driving in one day without charging my MME until I get home. During the winter months especially with the cold weather, I am not able to get home without finding a place to charge my car. My estimated range definitely goes down during the winter months. I would not say half but maybe 25% depending on temp and road conditions. I still love my experience with my MME just am not a fan of it during the winter months. I do love the way it handles in the snow though. Thanks
I have a pair coming soon to use whilst on my Euro trip from Australia 🇦🇺 .... Excited !
Enjoy them. Thanks for sharing.
Got a '23 GT in April and have really loved pretty much everything about it. I've put about 6000 miles on it. Just went on a road trip and used Electrify America chargers and a Tesla Supercharger (got an adapter from A2Z) without issues. GT has a range of about 270 at 100%....I'd love for it to be over 300 (especially once winter comes), but it is what it is. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on yours!
Thanks for sharing your experience. That is awesome to hear and I am still waiting on my adapter from #Ford which fingers crossed will come in September.
Great video, thank you
I appreciate that. Thanks
Sorry for the double comment. Forgot to ask, how’s the interior quality? Is there anything that’s just downright crap? Also, when you bought yours, did the dealer try to screw you over, or did you walk out with a deal? Thanks!
Is yours AWD? In general, do you think having AWD and only using it for 1 out of 4 seasons is worth the price and range penalty? Would it be a better idea to buy a FWD one and use winter tires? When my CRV dies, I’ll be looking for an electric successor. The ioniq 6 is beckoning at me lol.
Have Galaxy buds 3 pro but they little bugged...😮 one led shines brighter on R and L shines dimmer... also when put them in case to charge sometimes they not do it and after time when use i see L 100% battery R 60% battery. .. And with ANC when do slider 50% they reduce outside noises ok but if do 100% then feels like they let inside more noises strange... I think i need go and ask replace them 😅
Just to note. Hand gestures do not work currently on S24 and older slab models. Only the new flip models have hand gestures feature because those models have 6.1.1 and 6.1.1 won't be out for everyone else until late August. Maybe early September.
Thanks for the info
Hi , I have samsung tablet l can see logo of live massage in air command but it doesn't work. How i can fix it ?
I think the purpose of the flashing light is to help you find them if you drop them for example on a airplane in the dark and can't hear the sound in find me mode
That is another purpose for them. The lights do flash rapidly while playing a high beeping noise when you hit the find my buds button. Thanks for sharing.
Also for runners, it can help be seen.
@@stephenmoll6507 yeah especially if the wearer has the dark gray ones. Would be tough to find in the dark if they got dropped without the lights. This was my problem with the Buds2 Pro
I love bass on earbuds
They do sound pretty good!
How many “uummmm”😂 dude step up the vocab
Umms are not vocabulary issue. It's an issue of speaking without a script. Public speaking is not exactly easy for everyone.
Hey dude! Love the video, huge suggestion, you should try to add chapters to videos! Its not that big of a deal though thank you for the video!!:)
@nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh777 Thanks and I appreciate that. I'll have to look into adding chapters.
Why doesn’t Ford use a heat pump like Tesla? May be better in cold weather.
Not sure. It does make sense. Maybe down the road, they will do something like that.
the buds pro 3 is nice, because if you can use it to translate when someone is speaks to you in other languages, and it will translate through your buds pro 3 into english so you can understand what they are saying
That is a pretty cool feature that they have. I have not tried that yet though.
@@evandtechlife yep, it's useful when you travel international
I used my Huawei buds 2 and it worked exactly same with fold 6
@sn00p232 I bet it is. I've used my S24 Ultra for translation. It's worked pretty good.
@@davidk467 that is great to hear. I've never used Huawei products before.
Good video . Very informative
I'm glad that you liked the video!
Nice vid!
Thanks so much. I'm glad that you liked it!
Bro is like 50 worried about some earbuds. Sad
Your point?
@@FirstSynapse exactly what I said
@williamruffoh I'm just confused by how you seem to worry so much about what a random 50 year old guy on the Internet likes. That's what's sad here.
@FirstSynapse women can be men. Over grown men can be children.
@williamruffoh self righteous youtube commenters can be whiny little bitches. Yeah, yeah, you made your point.
I manage to get mine to charge with the case on. I had to find the right spot to put it on. I put a mark on my charger so that I put it in the same spot everytime.
That is good to hear. I'll try messing around with it again then. I have a three in one charger that I use. Thanks for the info!
@@evandtechlife okay great. I hope you get it to work. I use one of the Samsung 3 in 1 chargers as well.
@@mrmossimop I was not able to get mine to work. I have the extra case on it which for me is causing it not to charge. When I take the clip case off I am able to do wireless charging. Thanks for the info.
I love my Buds 2 Pro, do you thinks that the Buds 3 pro worth the upgrade?
It was worth the upgrade for me especially with trading my Buds 2 in for the credit. If your looking for better sound, they both in my opinion are pretty amazing. It's the other features that to me are worth the upgrade. Hope this helps and good luck with your decision.
Worth the upgrade and also good to hold onto imo. I just got my Buds 3 Pro. Love them. I will be keeping my Buds 2 Pro on hand for the low profile. My only issue with the Buds 3 Pro is that they aren't exactly the most sportiest ear Buds. So, I'll stick the Buds 2 Pro for workouts and runs.
@@DirtCheapFU thanks for sharing.
Hi there... we can't find how to rate with stars on our android tablet, we dont have issues with the iPad, but we can't find that option on our android tablet. Pls help! thanks!
On the android tablet at least on the Tab S8 Ultra the three dots in the right hand corner and then look for the info and rating icon. Click on that, and you will be able to give the stars you want. Hope this helps and thanks for asking!
Very informative; looking to purchase in the coming months. Thank you!
That is great to hear. I really enjoy my MME! Are you buying new or used?
just install Juicbox 32A. I don't know why can't set anything like you mention in apps!!
Yes, I have already noticed it...😮😮😮 We need live message
I wish they would bring it back in an update.
@evandtechlife @evandtechlife I have already messaged Samsung, and they said; "Thanks for your suggestion, Rabee. We'll be sure to take your feedback on board." I wish you all messaged too.
@@rabeeqahtan4564 I have called them multiple times and have told them they need to bring it back.
I have the same color in my 2021 Premium. I also traded in my 2013 Escape for this car. I always wanted one, so I had to get it. I love this car, it's a lot of fun to drive, and it's definitely a head turner!
Thanks for sharing. It is alot of fun to drive and yes, I get alot of people looking at the car and some ask questions about it. Love my #MME
I have the exact car. I’m surprised you get such low miles. I have been getting routinely 330-335 per 100%. Maybe the climate. I never drive faster than 60 and keep charge between 30-85 % .I love the car and wish you many more driving miles
That is great to hear. But I have the Premium 71 kWh battery so my top range is at 235 maybe 245 on a good day at 100% But I usually do not see that since I charge only to 85% which has been estimating 195 miles of range. My drive to work rarely goes over 60 mph but I do love my ride! Best wishes to you with your Mach-E
I really like the Mach E, but I wound up getting a Subaru this year. I wouldn't qualify for the ev credits, would need to install the home charger, and electricity costs are high in my area. In your case, you drive a lot of miles, and it sounds like the savings makes sense. I do see some screaming good deals on used Mach Es with low miles which might make more sense for some people over buying new.
Thank you for your response. And yes, some of the Mach-E's have come down in price and I'm sure with do alittle bit of searching, you could find an amazing buy!
Best Buy has the S8 Ultra starting at $699, $649 for BB members.
That is a great price!!! Thanks for sharing this info!!!
Have you considered the difference in residual value? I think there's a bigger drop off in electric vehicle values. Nice work though!
I am not leasing my car. But yes, the EV cars do depreciate in value the longer you have them. But I usually own my vehicles for a while so when it comes to trading them in, I never saw a whole lot for trade in value. Thanks for your response.
Enjoy!
Thanks!
Hey.. thank you for the comparision between charging cost and gas cost. I have the same car but i am getting it charged at Electrify America which is nearly equivalent to the gas cost. Can you please tell me more about the charging station you are following and if it set up at home, would like to know ow more about the rates, kw consumption and its setup. Thank you
I have a charger at home. I am able to take advantage of low charging rates at 1 cent a kWh at night time.
Any one of your reasons is good enough! Enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We just bought a used 2016 Nissan Leaf, it allowed us to dip our toes in the EV world on the cheap. We already have (22) 320 Watt solar panels on our roof so driving the leaf this time of year is free electricity.
That is awesome to hear!
What I'm feeling is EVs make sense for home owners. Anyone that lives in an apartment ... might not work out well for them
I agree, but then again if you own a Tesla in America, then there are a variety of chargers. That said it’s still a bit of a hassle in relative terms to a ICE vehicle.
It can be done, but home charging is the best method and a cheaper method way of charging. Hopefully down the road, there will be more and newer apartment buildings will have charging stations by the parking spaces for the teniants.
@@evandtechlife I have an itch to start a mobile charging business. I have a feeling that mobile charging trucks that strategically hang out on certain streets, parking lots, might be way better than stations or trying to break ground in a parking lot. Or even allow for an app where the truck comes to you.
“I m driving pure EV, but I AM keeping my regular gasoline car!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We are keeping an ICE car as well 🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing!
Sweet. I have a Taurus Limited which is not made anymore so I would consider this as a replacement when the time comes.
That is great to hear! Thanks for the comment!
Your voice is more annoying than Fran Drescher. Oh my goodness
A base model Dodge Charger is pretty quiet. If you found the 3.6 Pentastar loud, please avoid the gas guzzling Hemis😂
Good to note. My stepfather has a 68 Shelby Mustang that I love to drive. And I love the way that sounds. I've just been used to an EV for the past 18 months which is such a quite ride.
My wife bought a Mustang Mach E GT and we love it…what a great car! We charge it with our solar electric.
Love hearing this. I wanted the GT Model but at the time of my purchase, it was lot more than what it is now. The prices have come down now.
Just ordered mine can't wait
That is awesome to hear! I hope you enjoy it!
I found an s8 ultra with keyboard, screen protector and unlocked for 400 locally. then samsung has the 800 dollars off with trade in so I AM TEMPTED
