Amazing new version from Samsung Smartwatch. I love monitoring my heartbeat.

Not connecting to phone when there’s no WiFi is kinda irritating. Dies pretty quick.

Perfect watch! Best Buy Never Fails! Samsung Never Faiks!

I got it 200 off from 600 and now it's 324. Ugh... nice but really expensive.

Got a nice watch recently — looks great, but the orange strap gets dirty really fast, even in just a couple of days.

Overall enjoying the watch, only thing i am not please with is the battery life.

Love this watch just going to miss rotating the hinge.

love my new watch, the band fits great and is soft

Probably thr worst samaung watch I have ever owned. In thr beginning was ok. Got around thr same amount of days as my Watch5 Pro Titanium. Now I get only 2-3 days battery. And I barely purchased it couple months ago. I have most functions turned off to save battery. However for thr past week barely gettimg 2-3 days of battery, but has thr same battery compacity as thr Watch5 Pro. Only upgraded becuase thiught would be as good as thr Watch5 Pro and had been 2 years. Now i wish i would have kept my Watch5 Pro. Beacuse battery life is thr same and my moms Watch6 classic with a lower battery compacity. Ridiculous and super disappointed. I had thr Watch Active and even that one gave me more battery life than this Samsung Ultra.

Puchased open box excellent. Box was missing the charger. Left a message about it and was never contacted

False advertisement. It listed as excellent condition and it's like new. The watch arrived scratches all over both the front and back (i would rated as fair condition). The bands and charger was in plastic, unfortunately, the watch wasn't in secure protection.

Enamel around the display defective. Discoloration after a week of use.

I’ve been using the Galaxy Watch Ultra for a few weeks, and overall, it has been a strong performer. The titanium build feels premium and noticeably more durable than previous Samsung models I’ve owned. The bright display is easy to read outdoors and the LTE connectivity has been reliable for calls and texts without my phone. The main strengths for me are fitness-tracking accuracy, battery life, and rugged design. Sleep tracking has also improved and feels more consistent. Charging is relatively quick, and I can usually get close to 2 days on a single charge with moderate use. A few drawbacks: the watch feels larger and heavier than expected, so it may not be ideal for smaller wrists. Also, while the health and workout features are robust, some of Samsung’s software interfaces still feel a bit cluttered. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable smartwatch with solid fitness and LTE features.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is a formidable contender in the smartwatch arena. Its 47mm Super AMOLED display is a visual treat, offering stunning colors and sharp clarity. Even in bright outdoor conditions, the screen remains easily readable. The watch's performance is exceptional, thanks to the snappy Exynos W1000 processor. Navigating menus, launching apps, and switching between functions is smooth and responsive. Pros: • Impressive performance: The Exynos W1000 processor delivers smooth and responsive performance, enhancing overall user experience. • Stunning display: The 47mm Super AMOLED screen offers vibrant colors, excellent clarity, and good outdoor visibility. • Robust build quality: The titanium build and sapphire crystal display ensure durability for various conditions. • Excellent fitness tracking: Accurate workout detection, GPS performance, and heart rate monitoring make it a great fitness companion. • Improved call quality: Clear audio and enhanced keyboard facilitate better communication. • Exceptional battery life: Easily lasts two days with typical usage. Cons: • Sleep tracking inconsistencies: Sleep stage detection and sleep apnea monitoring could be more accurate. • Uncomfortable band: The metal clasp can cause discomfort during extended wear. • Limited app compatibility: The Wear OS platform offers fewer app options compared to competitors. • Large size: The watch's size might be inconvenient for some users, especially during sleep. Fitness and Health Tracking: The Galaxy 7 Ultra excels as a fitness companion. It accurately tracks a wide range of workouts, from running, walking, cycling, and strength training. The automatic workout detection works reliably, capturing activities without manual intervention. The GPS performance is generally accurate, although downloading maps directly to the watch would enhance its standalone capabilities. The addition of the "my exercises" quick button is a convenient feature for starting workouts on the fly. Call Quality and Smart Features: Making and receiving calls on the Galaxy 7 Ultra is a pleasant experience. Call quality is significantly improved over previous models, with clear audio and reduced background noise. The larger screen accommodates a more comfortable typing experience, making texting on the go more efficient. Beyond fitness and communication, the watch offers a range of smart features. Samsung Pay works seamlessly for contactless payments, and the integration with other Samsung devices is smooth. However, the watch's reliance on the Wear OS platform limits app compatibility. I would like to see more App integration into the Samsung line down the road (Yahoo Mail, Banking Apps, etc.) Design and Comfort: The Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra boasts a rugged yet stylish design, with a titanium build and sapphire crystal display that can withstand the elements. The large size, while providing excellent screen visibility, can be cumbersome for some users, especially during sleep. The included band is comfortable for short periods but can become uncomfortable due to the metal clasp during extended wear. Battery Life: One of the standout features of the Watch 7 Ultra is its impressive battery life. With typical use, including workout tracking, notifications, and music playback, the watch easily lasts two full days on a single charge. This endurance is a significant improvement over previous generations (including my Galaxy 5 Pro). Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is the strongest contender in the smartwatch market, offering a compelling combination of performance, features, and durability. While improvements in sleep tracking and band comfort would enhance the user experience, it remains a solid choice for active individuals seeking a feature-rich smartwatch. If you're an Android user seeking a feature-rich smartwatch with a focus on fitness and outdoor activities, the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is definitely worth considering (the one to literally beat this year).

I upgraded from a Galaxy Watch 5. This watch has a bigger face and more features. The setup was pretty easy. It utilizes the smart switch app to download all the settings and apps on the previous watch. One of the noticeable features is the button in the middle. This button can be customized to open and app, or start a stopwatch or something else. The battery has lasted for three days so far without charging and at 24%. Other features on this watch include measuring your heart rate and stress level. Contactless payments can be setup to use your watch to pay at cashier's kiosks. The watch face turns white and can be used as a "light". There is no turn dial like in previous models but you can touch scroll around like one. The watch faces are fully customizable. From displaying heart rate, step counts, battery level, sunrise to sunset times, weather and other colors and fonts. I like the custom watch face that allows you to upload pictures to your watch. The pictures rotate everytime the watch turns on. This gives the watch a personal touch. Overall this watch is not heavy and very durable. The face is bigger that my previous model but it's not a bad thing.

Let’s get the elephant in the room immediately out of the way: the Galaxy Watch Ultra copied a lot from its competitor’s Ultra watch. But that watch isn’t compatible with Android phones while the Galaxy Watch Ultra is. So, if you were envious of the other watch, know that the Galaxy Watch Ultra takes a lot of design cues from it. The watch has a square encased in a square but the display itself is still circular. Some people call it a squircle. Some call it cushioned. The display has a 1.5” diameter, which is the same size as the Galaxy Watch 7 44mm’s display. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is only labeled at 47mm because it includes the case, but as you can see, that method of marketing is deceptive. There is a clear advantage to the 47mm over the 44mm but it has nothing to do with the display and more to do with the other internal hardware. Internally, the larger space allows the Dynamic Lug System, which is used for switching bands on the Ultra, to fit. Band installation is fool proof. You simply push the band into the watch until it clicks. No more finding tiny pinholes, and aligning the band’s pins to fit inside them like traditional bands or the Galaxy Watch 7. Removing bands on the Galaxy Watch Ultra is as simple as pressing the eject buttons on the back of the watch. At the same time, they will never eject accidentally no matter how hard I forcefully push the watch against my skin or clothes. Unlike its doppelganger from another company, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has speakers that you can play content with. It comes with LTE, so if you use it with a mobile plan, you can use it independently without your phone to stream music from apps like Spotify while you’re on a run. The speakers are also convenient for playing back voice memos. Or for your alarm to wake you up when you wear the watch to sleep. What makes the Galaxy Watch Ultra different from the previous generations of Samsung watches is that the Ultra has the best sounding speakers yet. They’re the loudest and open sounding that they don’t sound like they’re coming from inside a tin can. Not just for music and video, they also enhance the quality of phone calls with the watch. Calls can be heard as clear as a phone’s speakerphone and people on the other side of the line couldn’t tell I was using my watch to answer their call. At no point did either of us ask to repeat anything because the calls were so clear. Despite the heavier weight, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is very comfortable to wear. Maybe it has something to do with the stock watch band evening out the around your wrist. I’m not sure. The watch band itself is very breathable and doesn’t irritate my skin. The part of the band that holds the tail end of the band in place is metal, but more importantly, it stays in place when worn. I never have to fidget with it, worrying about it sliding off and not keeping my band in place like other watch bands of this type. The disadvantage of this is that it hits the palm rest and edge of my laptop. I worry about it scratching my laptop, so I usually take it off. This can be remedied by using a different watch band. The processor is one of the highlights of Samsung’s latest release of smart watches, which includes the Watch 7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. With Samsung’s previous releases, I’ve never noted the processor’s performance, but with the Galaxy Watch Ultra (and I assume the Watch 7 as well since they use the same processor) the improvement is a lot more noticeable! Everything feels so much more responsive. Apps like Samsung’s Internet browser are the big winners for this. Unfortunately, if you’re using it as a Wi-fi device, the Watch Ultra will prioritize the Bluetooth tethered connection with your phone over actual Wi-fi so using the Internet app will still appear sluggish due to it using the internet data over bluetooth from your phone. There is no way to keep it on Wi-Fi because while you can connect to it manually, it will eventually automatically disconnect. Wi-Fi is mainly used for updates as was the case with the older Wear OS Wi-Fi Galaxy Watches. What separates the Ultra from the 7 are a few things. One of them is the battery life. I ignored Samsung’s Watch6 line because they didn’t release a watch that was comparable to or better than my Watch5 Pro. Not even with the Watch6 Classic, which saw the return of the physical bezel. The Galaxy Watch Ultra uses a 590mAh battery, the same rating as the Watch5 Pro. Using the Photo watch face with no monitoring complications except for battery, I was able to fit 2 workouts across 2 days, with a battery life span of 44 hours. However, with the Ultra Info Board watch face, which has the heart rate monitor, compass, and battery complications, under the same usage I got 41 hours of battery life. With that said, it lasts one whole day with a session of sleep easily under heavy usage. I found this more or less similar to my Watch5 Pro. The Ultra also has a Quick button which isn’t present on the Watch 7. It’s a customizable button that’s unfortunately extremely limited to Samsung’s own Health app and a few system functions- Stopwatch, Flashlight, Water Lock. Or you can set it to no function at all. It’s setting it to the Health app that makes it truly convenient because you have the option to assign it to a specific exercise. Even better than that is during workouts, a single press of the Quick button will pause or resume the workout tracking. A double press records a lap when running or biking. And my favorite: a press and hold will finish the exercise. I no longer have to slide a menu open to pause or end an exercise, which was so inconvenient. It’s a shame Samsung doesn’t allow you to assign the button to third party apps. But if the quick button suits your needs, it’s a moot point. Holding the Quick button for 5 seconds activates a siren which is loud and piercing. My issue with it though is that after it’s activated, it uses up 10 seconds to make a blaring sound- like a warning sound- before it gets to the piercing siren sound. I imagine for dire emergencies when you need immediate attention from people that can be very frustrating and counterproductive. Unlike the 7, the Ultra is made of titanium instead of aluminum, so it’s more durable and resistant to dents. However, it still won’t help prevent scratches so keep that in mind, especially with the black paint on the bezel. Both use sapphire crystal glass which make them very resistant to scratches, which is great to have when you’re touching the screen a lot of the time. Bear in mind, sapphire crystal isn’t for preventing damage on impact, so it can still crack. I can’t speak to the accuracy of its health monitoring other than the heart rate monitor matches what I get on a treadmill when I’m running at the gym. It has other gimmicky monitoring like ECG and sleep apnea, but the watch itself warns you of its accuracy and that it shouldn’t be substituted for actual medical equipment. To monitor sleep apnea, you need to sleep with the watch twice over a 10 day span. After that, if you don’t have sleep apnea, the Watch Ultra simply tells you it didn’t detect it. I can’t tell you what it tells you or what information it provides if you do since apparently, I don’t experience sleep apnea for the watch to trigger it. The library of apps and watch faces is one of the main reasons to choose a Wear OS watch over a fitness watch and the Galaxy Watch Ultra is arguably the best one currently on the market. It runs on the latest Wear OS 5 thanks to its partnership with Google. Besides having the latest features, it also ensures compatibility with the newer apps that get released or updated, unlike some other Wear OS watches out there. Historically, Samsung has been great with releasing updates for its Wear OS watches as well. The cons going against the Galaxy Watch Ultra is despite it being marketed as a fitness watch for fitness enthusiasts and adventurers, it doesn’t deliver the way other sports smartwatches do. For starters, there is no physical control option for when you’re really drenched. Many have complained about the absence of the physical bezel on the Watch Ultra but it’s more than that. They could have added buttons for physical control navigation. They could have made the Quick button a rotating crown. They didn’t. Without it, using it in the rain or when you’re drenched in sweat, becomes a challenge as the liquid will register accidental inputs and make it behave erratically. And that itself can be a deal breaker for the serious athlete or adventurer. For ECG and sleep apnea tracking, it can only be done with a specific list of Samsung phones since it’s isolated to the Samsung Health Monitor app, which is not compatible with any other Android devices, including older Samsung phones. The Watch Ultra’s battery life pales in comparison to some smartwatches in the market but you have to consider that those watches don’t offer the same user experience as the Watch Ultra either. Their OS can feel more basic and sluggish. Their app library is nowhere near as expansive or active as Wear OS. You’re also paying significantly more for the battery life and wearing a heavier watch compared to the Watch Ultra. So there’s no easy recommendation for everyone since everyone’s different. I wouldn’t recommend the Watch Ultra for the serious athlete because its fitness data and lack of physical controls for navigation is a deal breaker when you can find them on other sports smartwatches. But for the casual user that works out, it’s probably the best you can get for Android phone users. You will be paying more for the battery life, stronger titanium build, and the quick button, but the price is comparable to what other companies charge for this sort of watch- cheaper in some cases. It’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth it.
