So glad I swapped my pre order to standard 7. Love the look of the Ultra but differences would have been overkill for my needs. Watch 7 44mm is the sweet spot for most people I reckon.
@swissmrkc Many men have small wrists or prefer the lighter weight of a small size. Personally, I hate heavy watches. My least favorite Galaxy watch (after owning 5) was the Watch 5 Pro b/c it was heavy af. Fitbit is the king of the lightweight smart watch, but their quality is horrible.
I pre ordered the white Ultra, im checking emails allday waiting on expected delivery! I do like the detail of the blue and orange threads on the regular 7 band!
I ordered the titanium gray Ultra on the 10th directly from Samsung and received it yesterday. Initial delivery was planned for the 19th but then I got an email that they'd received stock early and it was going to come on the 17th.
When I'm ready to upgrade from the Watch 4 Classic, I think I'll consider the Watch 7 44m. I can't justify spending that much on the Ultra. Most of the features it has, I might not even use. I already have decent battery life on the 4 classic, so the improvement on the Watch 7 will be enough.
@hunghong7032 I don't do Samsung trading-ins anymore. Twice, I had to prove that I didn't send them empty box. Until they deal with the rocket going on at either FedEx or the third party company that inspect their trade-ins, I'm staying away.
Got my watch 7 for $143 before taxes. Used my employee discount, pre order discount and traded in my good old Galaxy watch active2. Was debating on the watch 7 ultra, but even with all the discounts it was still too much. Glad I won’t be missing out on much based on my own personal needs. Ty for the quick review👍
I went from 4 classic to 7 44mm. 3 gens apart, but change is downgrade. Stainless steel with rotating dial to soft aluminum and no dial. Also, it took Samsung 7 generations to make it smooth like Apple Watch 1.
I don’t like the case on the ultra, I bought the 7. I wish that they had come out with a classic as it has a classier body, but I think I will be happy with the 7. Also, I don’t think I will need the bells and the whistles on the ultra. I really just want to have the option for the extra line that costs less than adding a phone line on a phone :). Thank you sakitech I watch a lot of your videos!! I appreciate what you do!!
The most practical would be to buy the Watch7 AND the Samsung Ring for sleep and indoor activity tracking. Extra ruggedness and a swappable look can be achieved by getting a Spigen Armor Case for the watch. BLISS.
Really love the work you do! ❤ I have a question, if someone buys watch Ultra from say India and then uses it in United States with the local sim. Will the LTE feature work? I have been getting mixed responses from Samsung customer care
I love the look of the Ultra and love the battery life, but to me it's not enough difference to pay an additional $200. I got the Watch7 and that should be plenty. I can always upgrade later if the Ultra comes down in price.
I'm skipping this year. I got Watch 6 for free when I preordered the S24 Ultra. I still prefer physical bezel because I don't need a rugged watch. I may wait a year.
You have a 6, theres no need to upgrade anyway. I don't understand people who have a version of tech that just released a year ago and somehow have a need to explain why they aren't upgrading.
The Galaxy Watch 7 44mm display has a density of 455 PPI, while the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a density of 335 PPI. This means that the Galaxy Watch 7 44mm offers sharper images. Therefore, the Galaxy Watch 7 44mm can be considered to have an advantage in terms of image sharpness that the Galaxy Watch Ultra does not have.
Great review. Happy to see the ultra uses the square(ish) case in place of a larger diameter full circular case to gain internal capacity... if you factor in the corner to corner dimension is larger, but the side to side is about the same as the 44mm non-ultra. Anything larger than 44mm is just too large for us with small wrists. It also seems to lack the extended strap mounts/tabs/ears and almost appears to fit a smaller wrist better. I've been a 40mm Watch 5 user and the 47mm ultra looks very interesting.
I'm really torn whether or not to go for the watch 7. I have had the Watch 4 Classic for a little over 2 years and the battery doesnt last a full day anymore, even on battery saver. I count a full day as wakeup to sleep, so about 16 hours. In your opinion, has the battery and efficiency improved notably enough that the Watch 7 is worth it? I'm not exactly a power user, just for timers, alarms, checking notifications, and daily fitness goals. Samsung is offering $200 trade in for my Watch4 Classic, plus $50 off in their app
Just so people know wireless charging will not work on either watch you'll have to use Puck included with the watch due to rear sensor and glass not biggie I still ordered 7 ultra...
The only thing driving me insane is the HORRIBLE color choices. Why can't we have a plain black or gold option?!?!?!? And why does everything have to randomly have orange?!?! It looks good, but I don't wear orange almost ever!??!
I really hope that samsung gives us more usability for the modes and routines so that I can have the quick button to have different configurations depending on my location or workout I'm doing
Side note on the 100meters depth also effects higher pressures, i lost a watch climbing a water fall in Jamaica that claimed 100meters but the pressure of the water compromised the seals at maybe a foot of water
Wow best watch review I've seen, loved the way you broke it all down into sections, fantastic job mate. Agreed the ultra just looks cooler, it actually looks a little like casio protrek prw6900 and the apple ultra had a baby.
I bought both and I also had both during the most recent iterations of these watches. I find myself using the standard model instead of the classic or (assuming the ultra) models because they are thinner for sport. The classic model was dressier so I would wear that one out. The smaller one is perfect for working out.
I suggest a good way to compare the thickness is to put them on the table, side by side, but with the face down. Also, the official specs do not include the curvature of the back glass in the center, which cam lead to not realize how thick each watch really is.
After trade-in & discounts, I got the Ultra for around $250ish. I got more for my trade-in than I paid for it. Here is a hidden benefit, if you bundle the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, you basically get them for the same price as the Buds 3 - no need to trade in your Buds Pro 2's, as they will add no additional discount at checkout.
11:55 Speaking about 10 ATM water resistance you state "many people don't t do that kind of diving." Samsung explicitly states the Ultra is not good for diving. It's only passed a static 10 ATM pressure for 10 minutes test, and no dynamic pressure changes that diving will subject it to. This means they Samsung does not codone diving below 1.5 meters! This is a huge difference to the Apple Watch Ultra, or any of the Huawei, or Garmin dive watches.
It is enough for me with Samsung Galaxy Watch, had two bad experiences with W5 Pro and W6 Classic related to screen problems. One turned orange color, one turned to black screen with no signal for no reason. Having searched the same situation on the Internet. I found out that it is about the waterproof (although I was just wearing during daily washes and swimming pool) and daily impaction with objects. What a dismay!
Thank's! This is a the comparison I have been waiting for. Most interesting! I agree that the ultra looks nicer and more premium and a preferred choice also if not beeing in extreme sports!
From the ultra I love them watch face. But pretty sure you could install them later on. I went to the Samsung store when they showed. I saw them both and the 7 is so elegant.
It's kind of silly that the "night mode" is excliusive to the Ultra. It's a digital display with the same light sensor so why? Noone buys the Ultra for this feature alone anyways. You failed to give us the temp specs to compare.
I choose the 7 44mm, as you said purely about the look ... being the same display size I do not see the reason to spend more for the extra features I do not need...
What's daft where I am is the Watch Ultra on my network is only £80 more expensive than the 44mm watch 7 over 2 years with data included and the 2 year plan works out less than £600 for both as well. So you can guess which one I opted for
There is no most important information in this comparing. 1. Charge speed, powerfulness of the charger. I've heard, for ultra that is 15w, but I'm not sure for the standart watch 7 it is the same. 2. Is the LTE usable in both watches, or some of them dies fast after 1 minute lte telefone call because of overheating
-20 "most people that buy this watch will never take it to these extremes" laughs in Canadian. Not the watch for me then, gets -40c which is a whole lot colder than -20f

When I'm ready to upgrade from the Watch 4 Classic, I think I'll consider the Watch 7 44m. I can't justify spending that much on the Ultra. Most of the features it has, I might not even use. I already have decent battery life on the 4 classic, so the improvement on the Watch 7 will be enough.
If you trade in for that watch you only paying 65$ after tax

Can the base watch 7 do multi sport.. As there seems to be no animation for that on the base watch 7 compared to the watch 7 ultra which has one

Is the ultra can change the band?
have you actually tested the battery life or do you assume it'll last 1 1/2 day on the regular 7 (44mn?), that wouldn't be much of an upgrade
I went from an s3 frontier to the 7 44 mm, and i love it.
Internally and functionally both are almost the same. Different only in design and price.
And battery, brightness, durability....
Samsung's trade-in program is unstoppable. Love it!

Is that two to three days with all the sleep-tracking options on and with the always-on display?
