    This is the new Galaxy Watch Ultra. It's Ultra in more than a few ways, including the price, but does it justify the price tag? It's pretty impressive.

      I'm wondering if there's a pattern here. Cuz remember the Galaxy watch 4 came out and that had a classic version the Galaxy watch 5 hidden than the 6 come out and brought back the classic version but then the seven comes and its digital. Maybe the Galaxy watch 8 or the rotating vessel but if so I'm really not sure why they skip over it. Seems very backwards, considering that's what people know it for.

      I highly doubt that they decided to look at an old watch they had 6 years later and say "I want to with that design", it's definitely inspired by the Apple watch Ultra. The bands look identical in terms of purpose (alpine, dive and fitness), the action button which they've never had before and apparently the new watch face that I saw on the thumbnail of other videos looks identical to my default AWU that I have. And even the name is copied. "Ultra"? After years of using "Pro"?

      TBF people renew wearables about every 2-3 years. But it sure is annoying for the bezel to start giving problems this early. I assume it can be replaced, but also imagine it's overpriced. However, I still think the rotating bezel is better to interact with than just a digital screen. It's the whole physical Vs capacitive buttons in cars and other places. Physical is better nearly every time for interacting with the device. This is also why the rotating crown on the apple watch is popular.

    I have had a Samsung credit account for years I have Samsung washer dryer refrigerator and stove on top of that I have the s24 ultra, Galaxy watch 2 Pro, Galaxy watch 6 classic.. in order to avoid beating up my Galaxy watch on a daily basis I purchased the amazfit T-Rex 2. This opened my eyes massively to the fact that the biggest technology companies in the world are actually holding back Tech in order to drive profit year over year .. my T-rex 2 lasts for over 20 days on a single charge with the always on display.. I still have the majority of Sports sensors I need well obviously not having the latest.. my point is my T-rex 2 is actually a watch that you can wear for 20 days in a row without charging.. this enables you to actually use the Sleep functions .. the fact that Samsung and Apple are claiming that 60 to 100 hours is good for a battery on a smartwatch is an absolute joke! I do like the look of the new Samsung Galaxy watch 7 Ultra but the only way I have to push back against Samsung is not buying their products until they actually innovate! A 650.00 watch should at the very least be able to stay charged for a week at the very least! What are the purposes of sleep functions on a watch that will be on the charger every couple days it's time consumers stop being Fanboys of a brand and actually push back.. if Samsung suddenly stopped selling watches they would do everything possible to get those sales back! At this point they will trickle out tiny updates each model year because they know people will simply buy their new products!

      I am long time Amazfit user that switched to Galaxy 5 Pro. While Amazfit has great battery life their OS is the issue at the moment. I don't miss anything about my Amazfit but the battery life, but charging it while showering does the trick to have never missed the sleep tracking on my Galaxy. Maybe Amazfit OS will improve more in 4 generations and then I will change back.

    The limited functionality of the buttons is just mind boggling + the lack of rotating bezel or crown... The fact that Samsung limits this to hold and double press, or, more crucially, that one of the options is not available on the back button for the previous watch models because Samsung Pay is not available in your country is just ridiculous. Artificial limiting of functions. Why can't they enable hold, double and tripple press functions on all of the buttons to do anything or launch any app, not just the couple that they have chosen they want you to use...

    The big glaring missing feature that none of you reviewers talk about, is external sensors. Most people in fitness use an external heart rate monitor. This has been missing on all Samsung Watches. There’s a reason why the Apple Watch is widely used, one of them being the ability to pair Bluetooth sensors. I’m talking about pairing it natively, with Samsung’s Ecosystem, and not another app. Until Samsung can add such a simple and high requested feature, it’ll never compete with Garmin or Apple.
