Thank you for that great video! I ordered a watch 7 in green and 40mm today. After watching your video, I'm confident in having it done. Greetings from Germany
I just got it and tested again Fenix 7 Pro going on a 6 miles hike . It's not far off: distance, pace, heart rate. But the battery 🔋 goes down faster, since it has AMOLED and my garmin is a solar watch as well so it doesn't count. Samsung has stepped up their game. Edited: I used Galaxy watch ultra, not 7.
since there's no reviews out yet, how quickly does the watch detect changes in heartrate and does it sometimes take a long time to measure eventhough it's set to measure continuously?
Great review! I was excited about the Ultra watch but the more I've been looking at the reviews, I will definitely go for the Watch 7 over the Ultra. I like the understated design and the fact the processor and most features are the same as the Ultra, and the fact its half the price! I would like to know your experience with the battery life of the Watch 7 when you have tested it more. I currently use the Watch 5 Pro and I get a solid 2 days between charges with all features running. I wonder how the battery life of the Watch 7 44mm would be under the same circumstances. Keep up the good work mate!
I agree. I had the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, which I found to be uncomfortable to wear, and heavy. It was especially uncomfortable to wear through the night. It also caught on my shirts and coats when I put them on or removed them. I eventually lost the watch, and the "Find My Watch" tool was useless in trying to find the watch, even though I used the watch on LTE, as well as connected to my zFold 4.. Instead of giving me a map showing the last location, the tool simply said that it could not connect with the watch. Today I preordered the 44mm Green Galaxy 7 LTE. It's half the price of the Ultra, and I think I will like it better. We'll see.
Great video, just what I was looking for. I am an open water swimmer and swim in the sea and lakes often 5k+. Still on the fence about which one will be best for my use case?
Get a Garmin, I used to have a Watch 5 Pro, just a regular indoor swimming exercise, and water got in. Samsung them claim they are water resistant and not waterproof proof. Out of warranty so need to pay for repair, guess what, I went to Garmin and never look back
The watch 7 has all the internals of the watch ultra (as you said) so i can't justify the extra money for the ultra. I just pre-ordered the 44mm watch 7. I went the 44mm cos the battery is bigger but its not much more expensive. I also bundled it with the buds 3 pro. All with a student discount, pre-order discount and samsung shop app discount.
What do you think about the 7 Ultimate vs Huawei Ultimate regarding the algorithms and accuracy sensors, heart rate, sport and GPS live tracking ( without taking into consideration the design battery life or mobile compatibility between iPhone or Android systems )?
@@ultravaluetech24 Rubbish. Do a little research first before commenting. 1) design 2) larger battery 3) most importantly. premium Titanium Vs mediocre aluminium. Is all that worth just under double price? Ultimately it's an individual choice. For me, no it's not worth it. I'll wait for the price to drop.
Completely agree with this. I did same. The watch 7 is sticking with the tradition of a smart watch looking a like a watch and not trying to be an Apple lookalike. Watch 7 is a beautiful iteration. Same with the buds. Wouldn't ever buy stem earbuds when I can tap my earlobes and increase/decrease volume with buds 2 Pro! Come on Samsung know your customers don't pander to the Apple fanclub.
I've had the Galaxy 4 Classic from day 1 when it came out and was tempted by the Ultra but the more I looked the more I realized I'm not a mountaineer or deep sea diver and the added weight and, frankly, ugly look of the Ultra is the deciding factor to go to the 7 instead. I commend Samsung in their marketing and for going head-to-head with Apple but it's a hard pass for me as far as the Ultra.
My biggest concern with galaxy watches are the sensors , which in the past have been the worst and the industry. I'll wait until the new sensors are tested 😮
The problem is i work a lot outdoors and get a lot of dirt, water and impacts on the watchs i have bought i maneget do severely damage 2 Gshock watchs they stop working altogether.
I preorder the 7 44mm, as upgrade from my watch 4 classic. It will be more accurate because of the biosensor and battery should be improved by at least 6 extra hours using it in the same way as before...
I bought the galaxy watch 6 and returned it after a couple of weeks because the sleep tracking was bad, would detect very little deep. Im waiting to see if the galaxy watch 7 is better before I buy it, otherwise I will buy the pixel watch 2. I like the galaxy watch 7 more on twrms of looks, but accuracy is important to me.
@@SoundJudgment the LTE is $80, thats too expensive, still $40 is still $40, however its still cheaper than the carrier scams of giving you the watches at full price
I'll say if you can get the 7 Ultra for less than $250 with trade in and other discounts floating out there then go for it as it's even worth disabling all the gimmicky health features if you don't use that stuff if you're looking for optimization for 5-day battery life.
@@shaolin95 It's purely a gimmick to me as I find all the health stuff on the Galaxy watches useless for my use. I disable all the gimmicky health features on my Galaxy watches as I personally do not find it useful. If you like using the health features then that's your personal preference, but like I said I personally find the health features a gimmick.
@@jamesm568There had been cases that a supposed healthy person saved by these health data from a Samsung or Apple watch. It shows symptoms of heart anomaly. It turned out it was sign of a beginning of a heart attack. They went to hospital early and their life saved.These cases had been more than once and the datas on the watch was in accordance with more proffesional hospital devices. IT IS NOT A GIMMICK.
Buddy just because you dont use them doesnt mean they are a gimmick. Its like saying youre stupid for buying a watch with features you wont use (but ofc you are not ;))
@@m00nreal At $650 it would be pointless to disable the health features, but under $250 the ultra is worth using with or without it health features. I just want the bigger battery so it can be optimized for extended battery life like the watch5 pro was capable of. Now debating health features are a gimmick is just a matter of opinion among users, but in the professional medical field it's an absolute joke.
The Ultra is made to hit those who’s super heavy on fitness and who like more extreme tracking will get the Ultra. The watch 7 are for the regular users like me.. Since the Active 2, I always enjoyed Samsung watches.. I’m trading in my GW4.. I really like the look of the bands… only issue for me is since I love to change my bands frequently, I won’t be able to use my old bands with the 7. So far no one shows you how the bands connects
The battery in the Watch 7 is 300mAh battery which basically half the size of the Ultra's which is 590mAh , less durable because the watch 7 is aluminum and it doesnt have titanium, watch 7 can only go up 50 meters under water vs the Ultra's 100 meters and the screen brightness on the Watch 7 is only 2000 nits vs the Ultra's 3000 nits. You're lying to people just to get views smh.
@@bob32069 you obviously didnt watch the video because he starts off by saying that the "Watch 7 is Much Much Better than the Ultra", and "the specs are the same" and he also says things like "aluminum is just as durable as titanium" Clean your ears!

Both are IP68, meaning neither are suitable for swimming for more than 30 minutes in depths up to 1.5mm. The rest is marketing. As has been the case with every Galaxy Watch released to date, water ingress is not covered by warranty, so 50m or 100m is irrelevant. 300mAh is the capacity of the smaller 40mm model. "Only 2000 nits"...99.95% of the time, 2000 nits are eyeball-searing levels of brightness.
The point this video is making is that it's not that way better and for and additional 160mAh and titanium case (which costs Samsung an additional $10ish atthe manufacturing line) Samsung its asking twice the money of a regular 7 44mm also it has a slighly protection for water ingress but Samsung explicitly states their Ultra shouldn't be used for diving, only for shallow water activities down to 1.5m as the certification attest that it can resist 10 atm static and not dinamic for like 10 minutes.

@glorious3688 Yeah, I already pre-ordered it. Are the specs the same? Are you talking about the SOC? If so, then yes, but not the sensors. Also, it's way better in terms of battery life, durability, and looks. Should be better in GPS accuracy too.
Reason number one, I needed a catchy headline

he passed a wrong info when he said the 40mm and 44mm have the same usable screen size, that's not true.
How accurate are the fitness and sleep trackers with the new sensors? I have been so disappointed with sensors on GW6 classic

Don't exaggerate
The @TheQuantifiedScientist (Rob) surely will test all of the newcomers. He's a scientist, I recommend his tests. 👌💪
@@GoodGuyGoneGreat The Ultra and regular Watch 7 should perform the same, so this is good news for everyone.
since there's no reviews out yet, how quickly does the watch detect changes in heartrate and does it sometimes take a long time to measure eventhough it's set to measure continuously?
I love the 7 Ultra styling, but the regular 7 is more practical.
I traded in my larger Galaxy watch for a 40mm GW7. Comfort is important especially if you're wearing it at night for sleep tracking.

Is it worth upgrading from Galaxy Watch 5? I got a trade-in deal for $65.

Thanks great review! I order mine yesterday, no need for ultra unless I am planning on joining the Olympics :)

Did they improve the vibrator motor ? It felt like 90's so far.
Great video, just what I was looking for. I am an open water swimmer and swim in the sea and lakes often 5k+. Still on the fence about which one will be best for my use case?
Not rated for salt water the same as most water resistant watches. You risk damaging the sensors. It is ip68 rated.

Seriously? Lmao. Almost every video has this exact information!

and brighter screen and better water proofing
I love my 6 classic. The rotating bezel is everything to me
I still got a Watch 4 Classic. If there was a 7 Classic I would've upgraded. I hope there'll be a Classic (with moving bezel) next year again.

Its not the same, more features more premium and more batterypower. So take the one you like its not the same

The problem is i work a lot outdoors and get a lot of dirt, water and impacts on the watchs i have bought i maneget do severely damage 2 Gshock watchs they stop working altogether.
Is the watch face available for download?
Tbh, when I tried the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra hands-on, it was way too expensive and way too large for my wrist. Only the Watch7 can fit better.
Thanks! Very good comparision. Actually You convinced me to go with regular GW7 instead ultra. Many thanks! Well done
Hi, I own galaxy watch 4 . Do you feel i need to upgrade to galaxy watch 7 44mm. Will it make a difference.please suggest

You should, Watch 7 has Dual frequency GPS L1 + L5 which is very important for accurate tracking
Was waiting for a video like this.. thanks 👍
... is because of personal taste. Gotcha.
How to get this watch face on Watch6?
The Galaxy Ultra is awesome.
I like the tough rugged look of the Ultra.

I don't think it will be unfortunately. I noticed the same with my 5 pro. I preordered the 7 just for the deal.
I can tell you why I did, cause it was 60$ with trade in and coupon
Daaaaamn...now that is a Crazy deal 😂
theres no action button
I bought the Ultra for £390 with a trade-in, which is a good price. But the downside of the ultra is its weight; it's the same as a traditional watch.
Every review I've seen has said how comfortable it is , I traded in my 6 classic for it , I wouldn't even consider the smaller one
if you have a watch 6, samsung sells you this watch for $41 with trade in

Much less battery too. No thanks on the smaller
