I agree, if it wasn't for that amazing trade in price and extra bonuses during pre-order I most likely wouldn't had upgraded from my Watch 5 Pro. I do love the new band attach / remove method on the ultra (Owning a Apple Watch alongside my Galaxy Watch made me dislike the way the Galaxy did their bands). However, that wouldn't had enticed me to buy it for $650 + tax. Honestly, I don't know if I'm in the minority here but the Galaxy Ultra doesn't feel that much bigger like some people made it seem.
Nice! First review I've seen showcasing the Peakform band. Appreciate your no-BS approach. I just ordered the same, but with the Titanium Silver case. Upgrading from a S3 Frontier.
Traded in 5 pro for this Beast! Love it, havent touch my classic watches since Ultra arrived 😅 Love the trail band though, they provided a white trail, my side order orange trail just arrived today, will rotate wearing them 😊 Marine band is v comfortable, using it for workout. All the original bands are nice nevertheless 👍 Enjoy your 7 Ultra!
@sidha22 Still new, I spent more time clicking away with Ultra, therefore 5 pro battery might be better, but gotta give it time to learn pattern the pattern. I just left it charging when sleeping anyway :)
I was a daily driver of the 5 pro and traded it in for the ultra. Noticeably faster. It may seem like a small thing but the wake from sleep actually works without an exaggerated move. I don't use always on display to save battery but I may not need it with the ultra. It's doing better in that regard compared to the 5 pro as well. There are many watch faces to choose from on the play store for free or very little money . Non-issue regarding your choice of faces. I transferred over my LTE that I had on the 5 pro with no issue. I'm rocking the Ultra Analog at the moment. soo much info. I do prefer the digital time so I'll be on the lookout for a good digital face with similar info. TBH I'd never get it if it was not for that insane trade in of $350 for the 5 pro. As Flossy says "Samsung, it's to G0d dang much!" And where is my charger Samsung? For 650 I want a charger. LOL
@@MrTagoe-xw8yg smart or retarded.... the battery life is the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have now purchased the ultra 7 and can squeeze about 3 days ....so I will say that's good for a smart watch ⌚️
Hey, looking forward to your full review. I subscribed to your channel. By the way, are you going to use continuous heart rate tracking and continuous stress tracking?
I also have a Watch 5 Pro but only the bluetooth version. Samsung is still offering the $350 trade in credit so im seriously considering trading in just to get the LTE support.
I never used the rotating bezel on the 6 classic . that's why i traded it in for the ultra . The speakers are better quality and louder than the 5 pro and 6 classic. I got the orange bamd with it , but there was no option to get a different colour band , so i ordered the dark grey peakform band at half price , but gotta wait until 4th August as its out of stock
i don't understand why peole like the rotating bezel so much as the clicks (on the Galaxy watch 4 classic) are not consistent at all. i assumed that the watch would respond to each rotating click (no matter how fast you would rotate it) but no, many times it doesn't respond to a click. now sure, first i thought i just had a faulty one but my dad also got a Galaxy watch 4 classic and it's the exact same story on his one.
Yep, same with all mine. I thought I was going crazy and the only one who had this because no one ever mentions it. I couldn't care less it has no bezel
Thx for the review. I keep upgrading the Samsung watches because of LTE. I can go biking without taking my cell phone and still have text/voice capability. Otherwise I would probably go with a Garmin. The Garmin battery lasts like, a week? I'm not sure why Samsung can't solve that puzzle. Unless it's an LTE thing. Cheers.
I still think the Garmin is a better purchase especially the epix and fenix lines, they hold their value a lot better ., right now you can get a galaxy 5 pro for 100 bucks on ebay. fenix 7x ss still go for 500 bucks .. also the battery life is significantly better on the garmins (2 to 4 weeks)
I really love the look of this watch. But so many reports on battery life, i ended up cancelling my order. Will use my watch pro 5 for a little bit longer.
Nice to the point review!.....look forward to hopefully receiving mine tomorrow!! My first watch gear s3 i had lte and havent since...think ill give this one a go with lte again and hopefully it doesnt destroy the battery 😂😂😂
I don't think so but everyone is different. It's only worth it if you plan on not taking your phone with you often and still want to be able to make and receive calls.
Everyone saying samsung copies apple forgetting the sony Ericsson smartwatch in 2011 and the pebbles that had that unique apple watch shape its just about refinement now theres only so many shapes a watch can be
I also traded in My 5 pro in for the Ultra ill be honest first 2 days the battery was not impressive but it was learning and adjusting battery optimization and now on day 3 its significantly better after about 16 hours i still have 60% battery left thags with sleep tracking and everything but to sum up how i feel about the watch its everything that i wanted the 5 pro to be wich i personally am happy with and i would have probably still saved up and bought it without the trade in
I'm happy with the Ultra, but I don't use any of its health features as they were immediately disabled along with Bixby. I needed a smartwatch that was not as janky as the watch5 pro was iand the ultra solved that issue. I did get 5 days of battery use on a single charge with my Ultra just like with the watch5 pro.
Sending my back. Battery is nothing like advertised. I use my intensely and my watch 6 classic although smaller battery, lasts longer. Wore ultra for a week. Very disappointed.
I've owned every Samsung watch and used Samsung phones for years. Garmon makes better watches if you care about sports tracking and battery life. Samsung makes great smart watches that don't have very good battery life.
I'm very happy with the galaxy watch ultra I'm glad I traded in my 5pro
The interface is much more fluid and smooth on the 7 ultra than the 5 pro right?
The 5 pro was so slow. I upgraded to the Ultra and Love it. It's just a gorgeous watch in my opinion
Debating if I want to trade in my Watch 5 pro.
Guys I too have a gw 5 pro and want to trade it for the ultra but we're did you find 300 more euros I don't have 300 extra
Same here. I traded my 5 Pro and could not be happier. Its so fast and accurate.
You were struggling so hard to take off the band, it was hilarious!

It fits smaller because of the cushion case design and integrated straps. Design has been around for decades.
Definitely worth the upgrade.

Same here! I did briefly have a 4 Classic though.
Please provide an update in a few days. I'm curious what the battery life is like and heart rate tracking.
Nice review! I'm loving the watch. I also traded in my watch 5 pro. Going to pick up the trail band this morning. Great info!

How's battery as compared to 5 Pro ? I did the same
I did the same too😊,titanium gray with bkack trail band = killer looks❤️🔥❤

thanks for this. based on battery life, it can't beat your Garmin
Facts I have the garmin epix 2 pro battery is a beast 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
@1976tuki however...the Epix is a sports watch and not a smartwatch
My fenix 7 marine last me almost 3 weeks😅

You get a like from me because you're the 1st rewiever who knows that Samsung is the original. It was Apple who copied Samsung. :)
Hey, looking forward to your full review. I subscribed to your channel. By the way, are you going to use continuous heart rate tracking and continuous stress tracking?
Right now I have it set up for every 10 minutes

Can you make short video comparing screen flash of samsung ultra with garmin epix pro/frnix pro flash light .... No one has compared it.
It's not even a comparison. The screen being lit up versus a real LED flashlight, but yes that is an excellent video idea. I will work on it.
Peakform is the best band they have hands down

New to Galaxy is there a way to listen to Apple music from watch?

Trading in my watch 5 pro. Got the 350 off but the eta is August 21st now. The delivery date just keeps getting pushed back.
I think demand is outpacing supply so far
I really love the look of this watch. But so many reports on battery life, i ended up cancelling my order. Will use my watch pro 5 for a little bit longer.
So far battery life is similar. This is the same thing that happened when the watch5 pro came out. It takes to watch a while to learn your usage
You did the right thing. Battery stinks on ultra.
Hey, was wondering in your opinion, which band would be more ideal for intense sweating ( like hiit cardio etc )
Trail band or peakform band..?
Seems to me the nylon trail band would absorb more sweat so I would use the peak form since it is rubber.
@JackofAllMasterofNone
thankss!! The peakform band looks sleek af btw as on your vid, ordering mine right away
Just got the Ultra, I like it, but I miss my rotating bezel.
Nice to the point review!.....look forward to hopefully receiving mine tomorrow!! My first watch gear s3 i had lte and havent since...think ill give this one a go with lte again and hopefully it doesnt destroy the battery 😂😂😂
Is it worth adding lte to the watch
I don't think so but everyone is different. It's only worth it if you plan on not taking your phone with you often and still want to be able to make and receive calls.

I'm currently on hour 36 and down to 25%
@@JackofAllMasterofNone If you use all the available features that's not bad.
Wait did you say that the night mode display only works on the one face, not for the other faces?
Yes. Only works on 2 of Samsungs analog watch faces. Will be doing a whole video on this topic within the next few days.
@JackofAllMasterofNone wow crazy. I have mine on pre order but wont come til mid August. Kinda debating as i see more reviews
Looks good on you
It doesn't have a depth gauge so how can you call it an Apple-style
Apple put a depth gauge on a watch that is not salt water resistant. Great idea.
anybody know why the orders are on backorder at best buy ?
They are selling like crazy and have sold out
Sending my back. Battery is nothing like advertised. I use my intensely and my watch 6 classic although smaller battery, lasts longer. Wore ultra for a week. Very disappointed.
I'm hearing with time the battery life does get better but I agree you are lucky to get a day with any kind of real usage.
Damn, why did Samsung make the watch 5 pro so very unappealing ?
Good question
I'm sorry, I can tell you're not samsung guy 😁 you're more of a Garmin watch like you described on this video.
I've owned every Samsung watch and used Samsung phones for years. Garmon makes better watches if you care about sports tracking and battery life. Samsung makes great smart watches that don't have very good battery life.
I just paid $1300aud for the ultra lol, about $900usd 😂
Dang
