Complete, straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense guide on all the typically "hidden" or less-explored features on our favorite Samsung Galaxy Watch7. Excellent video, thank you!
i rarely write a comment but i wanted to share my opinion this time. Your video is full of useful information and not wasting viewers time. thanks for this content, i hope you keep it up
Just FYI a lot of these work for other watches that have the latest one UI as well! (I have the beta on my galaxy watch 4 classic and I could adjust a lot of the same settings)
Just bought my first smart watch (Galaxy Watch 7) 2 days ago. Your video was great for a new user like me, thank you! I have a question I hope you can answer. I've created several custom photo watch faces. When you create a photo face, it automatically keeps the name from the "template" photo face, which is named Photos. Since I made several, I now have several custom faces all named Photos. I can't find where (or if) I can rename each of these to a more meaningful name.
When I was using this watch face my watch was showing ghost step and it was also counting when I was sitting in the car ,so I changed it with a simple one and it worked out well , please share if you have the same issue or any solution for this
Can you message or call from the watch to your own phone? Example: If I give the watch to my kid and i have the phone at home, can we contact one another?
I believe sleep detection only works when connected to a Samsung phone that in at least four other features. only work if your phone is made by Samsung. That's an important thing to mention, don't you think?
You can schedule sleep mode now on the watch and don't have to sync it with the phone, in fact I didn't have that option at all (don't use a samsung is maybe why?)
Yes, the OnePlus Watch 2.0 has the ability to rotate the buttons, I am glad the Galaxy Watch7 does that too. Did Samsung add a lap button for workouts?
@@RyansTechMedia Thank you very much :) Have a nice day (evening in my country) :)

@@19JustMike83 My experience so far is that it will barely do two days if you turn off the AOD but leave the sleep tracking with all options on (sleep, temperature, apnea, oxygen, temperature). With AOD on, it is about 1.5 days. It might still improve with subsequent updates though. Looking at the battery usage, 16% is Samsung Health, which is expected, but 10% is Google Assistant, don't know why since I used it like once today.
The only complaint I have so far is you can't add a battery level indicator to the watch face you show in your video. That watch face is my favorite but battery level is not available for any of the complications in that watch face.
i am using my watch with oneplus 10 pro, it's great but the only thing i wish i had is the ability to answer Whatsapp calls on the watch, this feature is unfortunately samsung exclusive
Beware! Went from 5 Pro to new 7 watch and now l'm completely unable to turn off health app related notifications. The options that used to be available to adjust are now completely missing so I'm forced to be distracted with annoying alerts such as Daily Activities Set etc. I can't turn DND on as I' miss the alerts I actually want. How are we going backwards Samsung!?
The 5 Pro and 7 Ultra def have the longer battery life. My reg 7 needs charging every 1.5 ish days of moderate use instead of 2 to 3 days my 5 Pro would last
@djmute0155 I'm torn. I like the sleeker design but don't want to lose the battery life! 😂 a lot more money basically for a bigger battery though. I've not got rocks in my head
Majority of the features mentioned in the video is already available in galaxy watch 4 which is cost around $120 Nothing is new in watch 7 for the people who is already having previous generation watch
Interesting video. The sad part about all those features, most of elderly people are not able to go through the complex menu details. They are too far hidden and too complecated.
- нема од тога ништа - сваки дан пунити - ако заборавиш јер као ти треба да ти "гледа сан" - шта ћеш сутра радити на послу не може ти ништа мјерити јер мораш пунити
So realistically none of these features matters and doesn't justify the cost. Smartwatches need more years to evolve to even be considered as a useful device.
If you're a developer, you can go a lot further. It's android based and easy to write software for it. I wrote a new chatgpt for mine with hands free communication and can control my house lights locks etc and car door locks and even find my car by asking it to beep the horn (double lock*)
What I do NOT like about this watch is I have to charge it alot. It only holds 40 hours where the ULTRA will stay charged for about 100 hours. I am finding with this watch I have to put it on the charger constantly. I lose at 30% of the phone charge every night. Fitbit and my Galaxy 3 held better charges than Galaxy 7. Extremely disappointed in this phone for charging
You're a genius except that you're too fast. I've struggled to keep up even while pausing video. This is my first digital watch and you've thought me things that employees of the phone shop that sold this watch to me do not know.. My main concern was to stop those annoying health notifications & dozens have helped me but to no avail. I'm happy to view your video. Thank you so much for sharing your expert knowledge. May God bless you 🙏
Awesome thanks! Saving this video to watch again once my 7 arrives.

Best video I've seen on the watch 7
One of the best if not thee best videos on Watch ULTRA. Great voice, you speak very clearly and I liked and subscribed. Much obliged, from Tel Aviv.
Much appreciated!
Spam. You paying for reviews or what?
straight forward, with no usless talking. Love it. Thank you.
Most Tips & Trick videos are from people that I think never used smart watch and are the same, in this video tips are lot better and really useful
How do you control music while in an activity like walking or cycling?
Great video! I’ll be coming back here for when the Watch 7 gets delivered next week :-)
Which phone are you using bro? I pre ordered this watch 7

Nice. Did you do a trade in?
@@abhisheknauduri7013 I still have my Watch 5 on my desk as well. I just got on a plan through my provider.
Hi can you help? I want to use waze on my galaxy watch 7 turn by turn with vibration notification like the apple watch
Wow a lot of good features. Very informative video.
what's your wrist size? Also, can you recommend which one is better, 40 or 44 for my 17 cm wrist?
I'm also 17 on Puslo, I'm buying 44 for having 42% more battery, but I'm afraid it's too big.
About the same. I'd recommend the 44mm version.
"Now I want you to listen carefully to this watch."
*listens closely.*
"DO YOU HEAR THAT?"
No
@@Lar308 he yells loud after saying listen closely
Do you have to use a Samsung phone for this watch or can you use any Android phone
To get most features out of it, you need to use a Galaxy phone. Otherwise it's possible to connect it to another Android device.
Thank you

There's any way or app to add costumized sounds for the ringtone and notification sound ??

I believe sleep detection only works when connected to a Samsung phone that in at least four other features. only work if your phone is made by Samsung. That's an important thing to mention, don't you think?
I'm left handed I wear mine on the right hand with the buttons to the left. I love that you can do that now.
Right now, it's only $40 + tax, if you trade in your watch 6 for the watch 7. Great deal and great video.
Thats pretty good dude. Well done.
Which color do you recommend? Silver or green
Definitely saving this😊

Hi, i tried that ticking watch part in your video, but i do not seem to get it working. Set tikking on, sound is on and i used the same watch face.
Mine works but the tick is very fast .. doesn't sound like a normal watch tick
Same here - can't hear nothing and I tried several watch faces including the one used here.
Yes, the OnePlus Watch 2.0 has the ability to rotate the buttons, I am glad the Galaxy Watch7 does that too. Did Samsung add a lap button for workouts?
Can you charge this from the back of the phone using Wireless Power Share? Thanks in advance.
Is there a workout that just says cardio? Or do you have to pick something. On my garmin at the gym I just use cardio when i do my hiit and weights
Amazing video! I have the Galaxy Watch Ultra pre ordered, thanks for the tips! 👍
No problem 👍
Hi I'm just wondering why you have your watch upside down or did you put the straps the wrong way around
There is no rule and you can configure it however you like and I explain it in the first tip.
Beautiful,👍👍👍
Is that sync modes with phone feature only for samsung phones? Can't seem to do with my pixel phone
Amazing! Thank you...
Is it precise?
Does the fall detection work effectively? On previous versions it was the pits.
U can turn it on as in only workout falling, or everytime. For me it worked many times
I love review that show only the product itself thank you so much for that !!🎉
How do I assign google pay to double press on the side button? It's not the same as my previous watch
Doesn't the water lock turn on automatically, when swimming is selected?
Correct, if you select the swimming activity yourself then it will turn on.
Thanks a lot.
Hello. Anyone facing issues with Strava not syncing with gw7?
Can someone tell me how to get Blunk notifications. On my Galaxy 7 smart watch
is the samsung galaxy 7 is compatible with my Samsung S9?
Is this BT or LTE 40 or 44 ?
HEY....WHAT SETTINGS YOU USE TO ENABLE "SWIPE BACK" ON THE SCREEN❓️ IN THE WATCH
Swipe from L to R or tap back button (lower) once
@AlexAnder-ut9es ohhhh I thought it's something in the settings
Hi. How about battery?? Is it worth to buy it???? Or save more money to but Ultra???
You can watch my first impression video for that, but I'm working on a more detailed review and will talk more about battery life, too. Stay tuned!

Cha Chia? This PET'S water biometrics is similar to it's battery consumption. Overall, usual Samsung consumers will enjoy.
Hello, I have a hairy arm, do hair disrupt the sensors? Thanks
Dark hair might a bit. But even trimming it a little under the sensor could make a difference.
The only complaint I have so far is you can't add a battery level indicator to the watch face you show in your video. That watch face is my favorite but battery level is not available for any of the complications in that watch face.
Fair point!
Verry good video
Thanks
I have the watch 6 lte version but battery last for only less than 2 day. So same battery issue is in watch 7 or its difference..?
It's not an issue, their suposed to last about that
It can do over two days if you turn all the tracking and AOD off. With sleep tracking and around 2 hours walk tracking I could make barely two days.
Since they Switch to wear OS battery life is only supposed to last around 2 days. Unless you go with the pro or the ultra version
This was a great video. How do I stop my watch from telling me the time all the time? It is very annoying
Can't use Health Monitoring like EKG with other Android phones like Pixel 9 pro
Sadly no, those are Samsung exclusive features.
What about ai reply messages how does that work
Does it support e.sim.
yes
nice widgets where i find it
Can I use 100% of the smartwatch without a samsung phone? Or some features are limited to samsung users? Thank you
No .. Blood pressure,ecg ,sleep apnea features will not work ...
Yes u can except for few features
A lot of it will work, but some won't, I had a OnePlus phone for a few years with my Galaxy watch.
i am using my watch with oneplus 10 pro, it's great but the only thing i wish i had is the ability to answer Whatsapp calls on the watch, this feature is unfortunately samsung exclusive
Really, then it's a useless to buy@@MissileManKimjongUn
Can't you switch the strap as well?
Of course you can.
How do I get out off "watch only" ...?
Hold the Home button
How the sleep tracking working now.. saw in your last vid that it's not accurate
It didn't work well for me 1st few days but now works great as part of the new Energy Score.
It works great for me.

The 5 Pro and 7 Ultra def have the longer battery life.

What if someone next to you is snoring 🤦🏻🤨will that pick it up as mine??
Next, do extreme battery optimization.
Haha
Oh my God, I loved it! I'm left-handed and didn't know that could be done.
A lot of information but for a new user like me it’s way too fast to follow the steps. I had to constantly pause and rewind and it got too tiresome.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to slow down in the future "how to" videos.
I don't have sleepmode, the bed icon, not even if I press +
Does someone know why?
I only have "slept 8h", no rem sleep, nothing ☹️
How do I unlock offensive words in a Samsung Galaxy 7 smartwatch
My 7 battery very poor, not lasting more than 9 -12 hrs what can I do.
depends on how much usage you have and all your settings
Is it the 40 mm or 44mm?
This is the 44mm.
Majority of the features mentioned in the video is already available in galaxy watch 4 which is cost around $120
Nothing is new in watch 7 for the people who is already having previous generation watch
Sadly cant use universal, if i use google wallet..
All of that you can do on galaxy 6
Thanks you for the video, but Samsung, 7 generations and the most laggy high-end watch device on the market.
i bought this watch yesterday because it also has a blood sugar monitoring system.
it's working great 👍
I bought one for $40 for real😂
