I have had the watch 4, the watch 5 Pro, and now the 6 Classic, and for now, the battery got better over time, and some updates. I believe this will be the case with the ultra. Mine arrives on Tuesday. 🎉
On my Watch 4, turning off Wifi and SPO2 saved the most battery. I also used my as if it had Bluetooth only, even though it was LTE, so deleted all the apps except rhe bare essentials. Helped out a lot
Thanks for the honest review. It seems like Samsung has forgotten what made them successful. The Fold 6 has nearly the same cameras as my Fold 3. The S23 and S24 Ultra are virtually the same phone. If it weren't for the design, I would not have upgraded.
appreciate the attention to detail like your explanation as to what settings you were using. lots of other reviewers leave these details out, so you have no idea what settings they were using when their battery was draining. so kudos.
Tnx, man. This is really key. BTW I left the settings out of the box, exactly to be able to test the watch as it is... Now I know I can disable SPO2 during the night, and I will do so, 24-26 hours is simply not good enough for me...and the charging is really, really, really slow. I went to bed with 56% woke up on 25%... I thought OK I am gonna charge it in the morning, but it takes an hour and a half from 25% to 100%, and of course, I have to go out already. That's not ideal, so in the next days, I will be changing some of the tracking settings and limiting health features to crank up more battery.
What else to expect from Samsung. The same story that happens with phones 1) "you have faulty unit" 2) "wait for the device to learn your usage patterns" 3) "software update incoming" It's easy to name device Pro or Ultra these days but it looks like it's hard to iron everything before you release it to customers.
Was so looking forward to buying this watch. Had the AWU and missed it after moving back to Android so the GWU excited me. It actuallly looks nicer than the AWU in my opinion but reading multiple reviews saying the battery life is so lacklustre and the HR readings are just as bad as previous versions I'm not gonna get it now. Shame.
Yes, the battery life is concerning. This watch is not cheap; it comes at a premium price. Not everyone is going to buy this, and when you do buy an expensive product like this, you have high expectations and don't want buyer's remorse, especially at this price! I believe with technology, you buy the bigger, quickest, better and fastest product regarding the specs to keep reasonably up to date with new technology for two or three years as you can't chase technology. If this is the battery life of the Ultra I don't want to know the battery life of the Watch 7 which has a smaller battery! 😳 Also there are you tubers doing scientific reviews and it shows that there is no substantial improvements on the health measurements on previous models and you must understand that manufacturers want to create demand with good and flashy marketing and sometimes over promissing! 😳
Thank you for this review! I was a bit apprehensive that the battery claims would be correct. I was considering this as a replacement for my Epix Gen2 Garmin, considering the reduced battery life after 3 years. I would be so disappointed going to this and having less than I am currently getting.
Sadly, I have the same experiences as you are. The Watch itself runs smooths, and it's a joy to use. Sadly, I can barely scrape a day out of it from 100%-0%, and it states apps such as Whatsapp and Spotify are using 15-16% battery, despite the fact that I didn't open them since the last charge. I'm very disappointed.
Some people get 3 - 4 days, I think ita possible but I have to restrict more and more functions...so at the end it becomes a smart band...a fitness band. I disabled SPO2 and skin temp during sleep for now and viber notifications...
@kingToronto6 It's worrying. Samsung made some bold claims regarding battery life: up to 60 hours of regular use with the always-on display. Obviously, it's false. I didn't want to cancel my pre-order.
You have to remember that samsung will be pushing updates out to improve battery life, among other things . 4 days isn't really long enough for the battery to learn your usage , plus like you said , your not using it at first like you normally would. , mine is being delivered today. My6 c classic didn't get good battery life for 2 weeks or so, after that I was getting up to 3 days , I charge at night anyway , so don't really matter to me if I have to charge it ever 2 days or so. I do prefer the new design .
I got about the same battery life than my 5 pro (around 2 days battery life, with HR permant, stress permanent, wrist wake up , AOD off, sleep tracking with temperature and O², and walking/running 2h to 2.5h per day, location is always ON, NFC OFF (samsung pay will turn it on anyway, and i use my phone), wifi ON (automatic), no LTE activated (it's not turn off by default inside the watch settings (you should do it manually)... Then every samsung watch take nearly 2 weeks to stabilized (time to know wich app to put in sleep mode)... Notification also play a major role in battery life (just turn them on only for notification you want on your's watch, you probably don't want google news etc ones...turn them off..) Under excercise setting ther ealso an option to turn on powersaving mode during exccercice (i do not have it turn on), wich will give you about same data as 5pro) I think you should check if LTE data is not ON on the watch if not using a watch plan, as NFC etc.. Also having the heartrate on the watch face or compass is more battery hungry... something to notice is Watch ultra recharge nearly 2 time faster than 5 pro....

if you saw the quantified scientist channel on the galaxy 7 ultra, he said the watch ultra 2 is more accurate than the galaxy 7 ultra. so you can go with that, it's good. It even can do swimming/diving. Has a bigger display than the galaxy 7 ultra. That said i preordered the galaxy 7 ultra for myself because i have a s24 ultra to pair it with 😅

When it comes to heart rate and stress levels, on my Watch 6 Classic i managed to get 2 days and 12 hours battery life. I had HR continuously also stress, no snoring detection but all the other sensors were working. I was using AOD with pixel minimal watch face that is not available yet for Ultra. I debloated the watch from the functions i did not use etc. but 2 1/2 days was very very good. Just debloated my Ultra, and so far in 24h i charged it fully to 100% and then i charged it from 80% after 10h work shift for 15-20m while showering 80%>90% its the next morning now and i have 75%. I think i will manage around 4 days on 1 charge or even more when there is gonna be more minimal watch faces available for the watch, im currently using infoboard with black background and AOD on. Always on display i quite annoying durning sleep to be honest without my minimal pixel watchface :(
Yes... debloating will be key, may you share what you use, what do you get rid? I wanted to test it "out of the box" but as it comes, battery life isnt great... so I will have to fine tune it. 4 days on 1 charge w/o power saving will be great!
@@VelianSpeaksTech There was 250 apps watchfaces and functions, i removed bixby completly, samsung messeges, samsung findmy, all watchfaces, left only Ultra infoboard. At the end i removed around 56 apps/watchfaces/functions total. Currently in work so can't check.
My settings: lte on, aod off, hr at 10 minutes, everything else on ... I'm at 78% after 20 hours. Seems pretty good to me, and better than my GW6 classic.
Set HR to every 10mins when still. Brightness to 45% And when you sleep put it in airplane mode AND sleep mode. This way it will track your sleep and save heaps of battery. When you turn off airplane mode in the morning, all your sleep data will load onto the phone once Bluetooth is connected again. this should give you easily an extra day.
hmpph on my Gw6C i dont really care about the batt life anymore, everything is fully turned on so i can enjoy using it to the max. however, my habit is that everytime i see the batt goes down or if im free and not doing anything, i charge it up. luckily it is fast so not much downtime. i guess that habit will be the same when my GWU arrives.
I will start using my ultra as soon as i get it and before i send them my watch 5 pro, i will see what battery life is. If it is not close to watch 5 pro it'll be going back.
I had Galaxy Watch, Watch Active 2, Watch 4, Watch 5 Pro and now Watch 6 classic. I love their smartwatch features but the best feature of Watch Ultra is the price - it is so high that it made me upgrade to the big boys level and ordered Epix Pro gen 2. Thank you Samsung PS : GW doesn't do anything better than 6 Classic, 5 Pro so spare the money
@@shaf1485h Not all of us have the american privilege of fair trade-in offers. Here we barely get over $100 for a fullbox perfectly working watch6c lte
Yeah. I'm trading my 6 classic. Full price for me was $250. $350 for 6 classic. Extra $50 off plus $79 for extra band of my choice. I'm getting the dark grey watch. Dark grey trail fabric band.
I would disagree with you. It is not just a small update. The sensors have been tested, and it has improved tons. GPS is improved and also the cpu. Built is better even better than the 5pro, which was grade 2 titanium. I got a sweet deal, too, so I have all those upgrades, and paying 245 for the new version is not a bad deal.

My garmin enduro can do 50 days in one charge. Idk how you clowns use these and charge everyday. I'll wait till watch ultra 3 for at least 1 week battery life lol
my GT4 pro gets 14-18 days on the power saving mode so 100 hours is shi** I ordered the samsung to sleep with it mainly so i might wear my GT4 all day and end my day with my samsung
I have 60 % avaible Battery and 1 Day an 5 Hours left.After the third charge of the Watch I thought it was a failure, but the Power dont raise down. But now slowly it does. Im satisfied with it. I cant comprehend this values.
Yes, it looks like Samsung needs to put out an update for their Watch technology because even if the the Ultra had over 600mah battery, you still probably have only a day or two battery life, it's the software. How much battery life is Apple Watch Ultra?
@VelianSpeaksTech WAIT, Most tech reviewers are iPhone users, and you don't know how long the Apple Watch Ultra battery lasts after a year or more in market.
@@VelianSpeaksTech Its a static measurement, can be pretty accurate. I myself as Rob in the channel have Polar H10, O2 rings, many watches ect to measure and compare. For example HRV numbers in Garmin watches compete unexpectedly good with H10 witch is basically the golden standard. Nothing is perfect, but the only useful measurement one should use with smartwatches are - steps, resting/average HR, HVR, total time asleep. No need for anything else to assess your general health trends.
Well, the cushion is to protect the watch itself, which makes sense. It looks like the Gear S Sport from a while ago, but it also does look a bit like Hermes 05 and AWU re the band.
I personally disabled all the health features as I am not interested in that. Neutered Bixby. Removed unwanted Samsung bloat and Microsoft bloat. Permanently disabled LTE. Went through the permissions with a fine tooth and disabled what I will never use. Keep the always display off and put it in battery saving mode and it should last me 5 days just like to watch5 pro did. Not a bad smartwatch for $229.99.
For real got my Ultra on the 18.07 and was also hoping for that smart battery management system to kick in..😂 The watch fits my needs pretty well and i traded iny watch 5 pro in an instant but exactly as u stated..battery is runnig on empty very fast! My Watch 5 pro was WiFi version and heavily tweaked to beeing basically a glorified step counter with Bluetooth off, no auto brightness etc = 4 days + battery life I am not willing to do that on the ultra, want LTE, constant heart rate, auto workout detection, auto brightness and all that good stuff i paid for running but no AOD (except for special occasions where i want to show of goofy watchfaces)...so far that means battery is running out of juice faster than last time
@@MaxDrougge Hey man, guess the LTE function is important to you. The Samsung offers greater independence function wise but if you are looking for a piece of sports equipment go for the Garmin (or better wait, the new generation of epix/ Fenix seems to be right around the corner, possible LTE support is a rumour). Battery life is about 24h for me. Meaning start with 100% in the morning and having to recharge it the next morning after a night with sleep tracking
@@kitzblitz4859 Hi. Alright. Aren't those Garmin quite a bit more expensive? The forerunner 965 look real nice. I gotta say, i am really surprised that the Galaxy watch ultra has such poor battery performance. I would really love to have that watch but that kind of battery time is just too little.
Не, че зларадствам, ама взимай един Гармин и се радвай на животът. Аз съм с Епикс 2 и със всичковключено (без аод) карам 25 -26 дена.Преди имах уоч 5 про и го разкарах с кеф
Do a hard reset of the watch and set it as a new watch. Wallet can't take that much percentage. The health monitor can't have that many percentages either. I've had my Ultra for a week now and no app has more than 0.x% Only ONE UI have 2,2 %
Believe it or not, but I did.... which is not pleasant as I had to go again to my freaking bank to setup my card, as they don`t allow this done w/o visiting a branch, its a pain in the... And did you see Spotify? I only used for like 2 songs...
@@VelianSpeaksTech I have seen it. Really weird app usage on your watch. Now I tried playing a song from Spotify directly from the watch speaker and it showed 4.8% usage Spotify will be heavy on the battery.
My watch won't be shipped until the 5th of August. The reason I haven't canceled is because I was hoping for more reviews on the battery, but it looks bad. If you could cancel, would you have?
It's been 5 days already, and I hope it's getting better, but it stopped adapting and this is it. I started cutting on some things like SPO2 during night and skin temp.

danke für den ehrlichen test....ich habe noch die galaxy watch 5pro und wnn man die tipps von dir auch dort anwendet komme ich auf 4 tage.schlaftracking ca 5% ..Gps mit fahrrad ca 8%std.wenn ich alles anhabe 2tage und das nach 1,5jahre nutzung der Uhr es wird schwer ...ich hoffte die Ultra könnte so sein wie die 5 pro sieht aber nicht danach aus schade😢😢😢
Bitte schoen! Die 5 pro ist sehr gut ich hoffte Ultra gibt mir mehr Batterie aber leider nicht (jetzt). Vielleicht mit mehr fine tuning.
Please compare Garmin Epix 2 pro 51mm sapphire edition with Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Mate, get your blood pressure looked into? That's stage 2 hypotension if that was a calibrated, rested test. Look after yourself! ❤
My garmin enduro can do 50 days in one charge. Idk how you clowns use these and charge everyday. I'll wait till watch ultra 3 for at least 1 week battery life lol
Need the ring to save 30% battery
I have watch 6 classic battery works 2 day and 5 hours. Also not enough this with stop sensor but if I make any workout eat battery about 20%
my GT4 pro gets 14-18 days on the power saving mode so 100 hours is shi** I ordered the samsung to sleep with it mainly so i might wear my GT4 all day and end my day with my samsung
I have 60 % avaible Battery and 1 Day an 5 Hours left.After the third charge of the Watch I thought it was a failure, but the Power dont raise down. But now slowly it does. Im satisfied with it. I cant comprehend this values.
That's good, what settings do you use, always on, tracking, LTE, etc...
@@VelianSpeaksTech aod off, tracking everything and always. Gesture on. Dont know why this works
battery life is terrible and does not compare to Garmin.
Watch 6 cl 47 does the same and lasts 3 days not 1
I have the Huawei GT3 pro , 2 weeks battery life 🎉🎉🎉
That is a freakimg legend, I got the GT 2 Pro, same, but not a lot of smart functions, no apps and etc.
Did you install your apps from scratch or did you transfer from another watch? It's usually recommended to do a clean install.
No, I set it up as a new watch... I will check now how it is with the things I have turned off.
@@VelianSpeaksTechdo you have any update on battery life ?
It takes time for the battery to learn usage habits i see Samsung are still using the same crappy spo2 sensor
I have the Huawei Ultimate with always on display and all sensors always on I get 6 days of battery life
That's outstanding
Yes, it looks like Samsung needs to put out an update for their Watch technology because even if the the Ultra had over 600mah battery, you still probably have only a day or two battery life, it's the software. How much battery life is Apple Watch Ultra?
Well I didn't use it, battery is just a bit less, from videos I see that it's a bit better atm
@VelianSpeaksTech WAIT, Most tech reviewers are iPhone users, and you don't know how long the Apple Watch Ultra battery lasts after a year or more in market.
Have you tried to clear cache after the calibration?
Yes, several times.
As per Samsung's specifications, the standard settings should have a lifespan of approximately 3 days.
The only positive for is the native HRV and average sleeping HR we finally get on a commercial smartwatch.... Is HRV also available in Watch 5 Pro?
Yes but... how accurate is it?
Check here:

@@VelianSpeaksTech Its a static measurement, can be pretty accurate. I myself as Rob in the channel have Polar H10, O2 rings, many watches ect to measure and compare. For example HRV numbers in Garmin watches compete unexpectedly good with H10 witch is basically the golden standard. Nothing is perfect, but the only useful measurement one should use with smartwatches are - steps, resting/average HR, HVR, total time asleep. No need for anything else to assess your general health trends.
Tnx for sharing, this was useful!
Is it just me or do you really sound suffocated or short of breath?
Thank you for this battery information. I was about to buy this watch. Now I won't.
Can anyone educate me on the square design on the 7 Ultra? It looks bloody awful as well as a mistake.
The 6 Classic is a thing of beauty.
Well, the cushion is to protect the watch itself, which makes sense. It looks like the Gear S Sport from a while ago, but it also does look a bit like Hermes 05 and AWU re the band.
I personally disabled all the health features as I am not interested in that. Neutered Bixby. Removed unwanted Samsung bloat and Microsoft bloat. Permanently disabled LTE. Went through the permissions with a fine tooth and disabled what I will never use. Keep the always display off and put it in battery saving mode and it should last me 5 days just like to watch5 pro did. Not a bad smartwatch for $229.99.
my watch runs 3 days easily. No power saving, just turn of wifi and gps when it is not needed...
I don't use GPS when not doing any activity, the location setting right?
It's very worrying . Some youtubers are having really short battery life. I think I'm gonna skip this
How long does it take to charge the battery as it is supposed to have 15W
I read it`s only 10W as the Watch5 Pro...
over 2 hrs in my testing
Everything under a week of battery life is not usable for me
You have esim or bt ?
LTE (eSIM), but I use it as BT only. One commenter with the same default settings and LTE gets even less battery sadly.
For real got my Ultra on the 18.07 and was also hoping for that smart battery management system to kick in..😂
The watch fits my needs pretty well and i traded iny watch 5 pro in an instant but exactly as u stated..battery is runnig on empty very fast!
My Watch 5 pro was WiFi version and heavily tweaked to beeing basically a glorified step counter with Bluetooth off, no auto brightness etc = 4 days + battery life
I am not willing to do that on the ultra, want LTE, constant heart rate, auto workout detection, auto brightness and all that good stuff i paid for running but no AOD (except for special occasions where i want to show of goofy watchfaces)...so far that means battery is running out of juice faster than last time
What kind of battery life do you get? I am torn between the ultra and Garmin Forerunner 965.
@@MaxDrougge Hey man, guess the LTE function is important to you. The Samsung offers greater independence function wise but if you are looking for a piece of sports equipment go for the Garmin (or better wait, the new generation of epix/ Fenix seems to be right around the corner, possible LTE support is a rumour).
Battery life is about 24h for me. Meaning start with 100% in the morning and having to recharge it the next morning after a night with sleep tracking
@@kitzblitz4859 Hi. Alright. Aren't those Garmin quite a bit more expensive? The forerunner 965 look real nice.
I gotta say, i am really surprised that the Galaxy watch ultra has such poor battery performance. I would really love to have that watch but that kind of battery time is just too little.
Не, че зларадствам, ама взимай един Гармин и се радвай на животът. Аз съм с Епикс 2 и със всичковключено (без аод) карам 25 -26 дена.Преди имах уоч 5 про и го разкарах с кеф
Така седят нещата, аз имах Феникс 5, 10 дни.
Garmin does not have Wear os.
@@Imhotep73 За кво ти е. Само хАби ток
Е нека тества, иначе как ще знаем ние да не си го купуваме. :D
For me, a 50% reduction in 24 hours with the Ultra without doing anything special with the watch.
What a disappointment.
Let`s hope it`d get better, the official watch face is very animated and heavy, night mode, this, that... moving dials.
Do a hard reset of the watch and set it as a new watch. Wallet can't take that much percentage. The health monitor can't have that many percentages either. I've had my Ultra for a week now and no app has more than 0.x% Only ONE UI have 2,2 %
Believe it or not, but I did.... which is not pleasant as I had to go again to my freaking bank to setup my card, as they don`t allow this done w/o visiting a branch, its a pain in the...
And did you see Spotify? I only used for like 2 songs...
@@VelianSpeaksTech I have seen it. Really weird app usage on your watch. Now I tried playing a song from Spotify directly from the watch speaker and it showed 4.8% usage Spotify will be heavy on the battery.
How could you have had it for a week when they announced the watch on the 10th ?
@@Tberry23 ok, i have this watch 6 days, exactly. They arrived on 15.7.
@@lukyburiku got it in 5 days ? How is that possible ?
I will keep my classic 6 47mm no point to upgrade
Watch5 Pro is also a top choice, this is why I didn't change to 6 series.
Perhaps your watch could be faulty; that's a lot of percentage on little things.
Don't think so. Another user here in the comments reported the same results...
My watch won't be shipped until the 5th of August. The reason I haven't canceled is because I was hoping for more reviews on the battery, but it looks bad. If you could cancel, would you have?
Hauwei is the King sorry
It takes at least a week for the battery to settle down.
It's been 5 days already, and I hope it's getting better, but it stopped adapting and this is it.
I started cutting on some things like SPO2 during night and skin temp.
Apple Watch Ultra for the win 🤣
So much compromise to preserve battery life
