I have the Galaxy watch 4 Classic and I'm considering upgrading to the 7 ultra but honestly, all I see are minor upgrades, nothing worth spending $600+ bucks on a "brighter screen, 10% faster load and blatant apple knockoff look". By now, using the ultra version is more of an embarrassments than a piece that you would flex with your peeps. "Hey look, this loser is using an apple watch knockoff, lame!"
@@jeinnerabdel I have a really hard time believing you are an Android user at all, let alone a Galaxy Watch one. 10% faster, are you for real? Samsung claims the new chip is 300% more powerful and honestly it seems about right judging by how all the lags and microfreezes of GW6 and Classic simply vanished from a new model, I find it really hard to believe that this jump is unnoticeable to a user of a 3 generations old watch. It also begs a serious question how come you still are an Android user if you are so easily peer pressured by a crowds opinion. I got laughed at regularly by the old shattered 6S users for having last or second to last generation Galaxy S up until like 2-3 years ago, its not like their opinion was any relevant to me. After all you always have an option to completely switch to IOS if an opinion of a random stranger is so important to you, its not like there is a big difference nowadays. With all the achievements of modern tech choosing between Android or IOS is now a matter of preferred ecosystem, not one or another devices superiority
@@jeankim1884 I see your point and I agree to some extent. The last time I used an iPhone was with the iPhone 4s so... yeah, I'm team Android. That being said, besides Huawei, Samsung is the top tier company in the world so when we pay top tier money, you expect the "Wow factor" to be there on each new generation. The series 7 compared to series 6 is... what the fold 5 is to the fold 4... virtually nothing has changed. A bit more of responsiveness... yes, a better battery (if you turn most things off), yes... is that worth $600+ on a watch? that's when I disagree. I still dont understand why people defend minor upgrades from manufacturers asking a bunch of money for the same stuff every year. Even the crappy huawei watches have better battery life and have practically the same features (Samsung's heart rate monitor and other features suck big time, not even close to being accurate). So yeah, on top of that... let's copy apple too with their horrendous orange straps and squarish form factor. Again, we need to wait like 5 generations to see an actual difference (I still wear my Frontier 3 from time to time and still feels/looks cool).
@@jeankim1884 Also, I rock a Samsung s23 ultra, that phone looks more premium than any iPhone (Apple, the source of all evil in tech sticks to the same design like for 5 generations too, eww!) Have you ever had a friend who has a cheap knockoff piece that is meant to "brag" about? That's how you look wearing this watch. All other form factors from Samsung have looked different and even more elegant than Apple's watch but man... the ultra version is just cringe.
Great content. I traded my watch4 44mm for the 7ultra. And oh my, what a difference. With power saver on, I'm getting 5.12 days of battery and really not giving up a whole lot in return. I still get a lot of my health monitoring, have on adaptive brightness on, AOD off, and tap to see. Compared to my watch4 44mm. What a breath of fresh air, not sweating about charging my phone. Two charges per week😊
Thanks for the review. I have a watch 4 that I really wanted to compare to a new gen watch. Looks like it's not worth an upgrade yet for me. Maybe next gen!
The review was basically that the Watch7 is lacking in most things but the screen brightness. GPS is inaccurate, the Body Readiness is lame, and the band is an unknown. You like the battery life and the screen. Thanks, I'm going to walmart today to pick up a Warch4 46mm for $99.
I don't do either of those unfortunately, so I'm unable to comment! But most of the improvements I've highlighted aren't directly linked to running, so I think it would still be a decent upgrade :)
Sorry, I'm good with my 4. I'm not into cosmetic practically upgrade, and luckily do not have to justify my unwise "emotional update".. waiting patiently for next, and can tell you people unless see logging performance with snicky dirty slow down "update" by Samsung or greately deteriorated battery won't bother with 8 ver either...
This review being 3 gens apart instead of comparing it to last gen is much better
I thought this comment was going to be criticism at first 😂
But I agree! Most people don't upgrade every year, so it felt like a worthwhile comparison

This didn't really sell me that the 7 is much better
I can feel Ben having a field day roasting you with reviewing smart watches 😂😂

Wait I thought this was a F1 esport channel 😭
lool, it's becoming more a gaming / tech, overview / review channel
@@AlexGillon excited for the new transition
Thought you were an F1 content creator Alex 😂
I know this didn't get a ton of views, but I enjoyed it. Clear and concise review.
I just lost my Galaxy Watch 4. This video comes in handy now
We got Alex Gillon reviewing tech before GTA 6

I thought MrWhoseTheBoss uploaded 😭
@@JNT101 sameee I had to double check
I'm taking that as a compliment 😂
@@AlexGillonYou should, it means you nailed the title
Is the always on display brighter on the new 7 vs 4? That would be an instant buy for me
DOES THE AOD ACTUALLY WORK? I HAVE THE GALAXY WATCH THE OLD CHUNKY GOLD ONE FROM 2018 AND AOD DOESNT WORK ON IT EVEN WITH NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE
The watch 4 is practically unusable to take a call...is the 7 any better ?
Im still rocking the og galaxy watch.
Can you comment on biking or indoor cycling? Thank you for review. I'm considering to pass gw7 from gw4.
I don't do either of those unfortunately, so I'm unable to comment! But most of the improvements I've highlighted aren't directly linked to running, so I think it would still be a decent upgrade :)

That's fair enough, but I'd definitely recommend updating the software to the October 2023 update, the GPS improvements are massive!

Day 1 of asking my fav content creator for f124
What lte plan you have got for your watch? Which network provider? I am looking for good option in the UK?
My Watch 4 worst watch... screen funny and buttons malfunction after 2 years using...
