I would like to see a comparison between the Watch Ultra and the Watch 5 Pro.

Digital bezel WTF

SUCH A WELL MADE VIDEO this one is going to be a banger

Samsung: You get both samsung and 🍎 in one watch😂😂

I have had a Samsung credit account for years I have Samsung washer dryer refrigerator and stove on top of that I have the s24 ultra, Galaxy watch 2 Pro, Galaxy watch 6 classic.. in order to avoid beating up my Galaxy watch on a daily basis I purchased the amazfit T-Rex 2. This opened my eyes massively to the fact that the biggest technology companies in the world are actually holding back Tech in order to drive profit year over year .. my T-rex 2 lasts for over 20 days on a single charge with the always on display.. I still have the majority of Sports sensors I need well obviously not having the latest.. my point is my T-rex 2 is actually a watch that you can wear for 20 days in a row without charging.. this enables you to actually use the Sleep functions .. the fact that Samsung and Apple are claiming that 60 to 100 hours is good for a battery on a smartwatch is an absolute joke! I do like the look of the new Samsung Galaxy watch 7 Ultra but the only way I have to push back against Samsung is not buying their products until they actually innovate! A 650.00 watch should at the very least be able to stay charged for a week at the very least! What are the purposes of sleep functions on a watch that will be on the charger every couple days it's time consumers stop being Fanboys of a brand and actually push back.. if Samsung suddenly stopped selling watches they would do everything possible to get those sales back! At this point they will trickle out tiny updates each model year because they know people will simply buy their new products!

Still using an Galaxy watch 4 classic, and I love it , because it looks just like an classic watch, Idon't like the design of this one, I want something I can have with an elegant outfit

So glad they let you get the early samples! You're reviews are always honest and upfront.

Same size battery as the watch 5 pro and it didn't need the squircle. I'm not totally against it, but I do think the watch 5 pro looks much better and was hoping for the next Gen of that.

They really went to the lengths to build a pretty unique watch face. The proceeded to rip of all the Apple Bands. What the heck Samsung, all you had to do was not copy the bands

I know you will come up with a comparison video, but I would like to know how's the performance and response? Is it a little laggy just like Galaxy Watch 6 classic ?

For all the people saying the watch is an apple knockoff, look at the Samsung Gear Sport. It is a redesign of that watch.

For me, the Ultra watch is a nice update and with the usual trade-in (for previous gen watch) and discounts you can already get 200 off here in the UK

I love the look, but would definitely miss the rotating bezel. I have loved the rotating bezel since its inception. I hope they bring it back.

Keep killing it Mike! Videos are always on point man.

They had that type of band attachment system with earlier Wear devices, I eventually bought an adapter to the standard 22mm lugs for more bands.

Can you also test it AOD off but in normal mode? I think a lot of people use it this way, too. Great review and thanks!

Would the energy score change during the day, like Garmin's body battery? Or is it a static score?

Thanks for showing the other available bands, I don't think many other videos did. What are the velcro ones in front of your preferred band, are those just for the regular Watch 7?

Are the software novelties exclusive of the watch ultra, or available for all watches with newer one ui's?

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is basically a comeback of the Samsung Gear Sport. Although the Gear sport is way better because the bezel rotates. If that watch was still supported by Samsung it would be a good buy. Design wise not so much software wise 🙂

Everyone gets that trade in credit regardless if you click the link or not

I actually like the design. Looks really good especially the silver / black. Wish it was larger tho

I'm just gonna wait for next year. When they bring back, the physical rotating bezel makes all the difference

Most definitely, I will be getting this! Was waiting for your video!

The problem with no bezel for me has been for swimming. I swim a lot, without a bezel good luck trying to use this watch in a pool. I stopped using my 5 pro in the pool for this reason.

Round display? Obviously approved.

Love the Panerai sandwich dial look and size. Need some brown leather strap options for it.

If they could give me 3 days of battery I may give it a chance. There's no point in having sleep tracking if I'm having to charge the thing midday just to make it through to the next night or workout. It's a real pain in the ass when the battery life is only one day

I'll keep my classic 6 for the next year.

I wanna see the white ultra watch with orange band for once if possible in the next ultra video mixing and matching the bands with all ultra colours

Great video buddy. I think I'll stick with my galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm! Apart from the battery, its brilliant! 😊

Race Mode is nothing new or unique. I have it on my GW 4 for several weeks. Cool Feature for sure

Does this watch track and show heart rate variability (HRV)? It really should if it's going to compete with the best of the best for health metrics.

You are the only person that talked about the non rotating bezel, thank you.

I placed the order this morning for the Titanium Gray but why does it look soooo dark on your video (vs what is shown at Samsung's website)?? I kinda regret it, and would rather have the Titanium Silver 🤔

Everyone's complaining about it not having a bezel, but I'm glad it doesn't. I have a Watch 4 Classic, and the bezel feels horrible after three years. At least without a bezel, it should have even better waterproofing.

Pretty ironic that the "Ultra" version starts off with a compromised physical feature, the rotating bezel. I'll hold off until they add one to it.

Just ordered this with trading in my galaxy watch 4 classic.. im gonna miss turning the dial to put the volume up and down, it was cool to do in the gym..hopefully other features of the watch make up for it

I really enjoy my Samsung Galaxy watches. I ordered this one today along with the new Fold 6. I think the Ultra looks really cool, and as a person who suffers from sleep apnea I'm excited to use some of the new features.

I just preordered and with my 5pro trade in paid $220 US. So not bad at all for me.

Curious to compare to something like the garmin fenix line

Can confirm the watch 6 battery thing, I did a 12 hour Airsoft game and this could not last for all of it

The bezel makes sense if you are running or any other activity its easier to use the digital bezel because you will know where to place your finger without looking.

Why not rotating Basel?

This new Galaxy watch ultra is probably the best advertisement for the watch 5 pro and 6 classic.

Third party bands for 7 Ultra already on Amazon. That didn't take long. 😅 One is a material velcro, my favorite band of all for sleeping and working out. Highly adjustable on the fly.

No rotating bezel? No Sale!

Every other watch maker on Earth: Lets make as seamless a bezel as possible Samsung: BIGGER BEZELS, 3 different depths, 2 different shapes. They could have made a larger circle and seamless but had to copy Apple's square design, but forgot to square the screen, ugly.

Didn't the watch 5 pro have a titanium case?

These new watchfaces look amazing. I hope they release them to rest of the lineup too

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

That finger black nail... damnnn

I honestly don't think it looks like the apple watch

I was prepared to purchase this, had it in my cart and all, until I found out it lacked the rotating bezel. Maybe some users have experienced issues on other Samsung watches with rotating bezels. I've had every Samsung Galaxy Watch going back to the Gear S3 Frontier and have had _no_ problems with the rotating bezel. I've taken my rotating bezels everywhere, trout fishing in rugged mountain terrain and surf fishing on the New Jersey Shore. Never a problem.

BTW, really nice coverage, best I've seen so far.

It's about time Samsung was able to build a super premium smartwatch in the brand new Galaxy Watch Ultra!

what's the point of making a circular display with a physical protruding out bezel on a square watch if that bezel doesn't work as it should be Bummer 🤮🤮🤦‍♂️

Me and my husband have the watch 4 classic and love it but it kinda lost it luster after 3 years we just ordered the ultra and we can't wait for them to get here plus 300 for a trade-in in my opinion is a really good deal

It's been interesting to see how many people have never seen a Panerai watch with their cushion design.

Jesus Christ it's impossible to find a non-biased review. These are all commercials.

Clowns removed the iconic bezel. What a goofy company. They find new ways to make it harder to root for them.

Mike Awesome Video.Just catching everyone on all there opinions.Appreciate your time and definitely want to see them in person.💯✌️

Great video, very detailed!

Thats a very very very bad design. They should have just rounded it up with a bigger size.

Soooo ugly pls do a comparison between the regular galaxy watch 7 and watch 6 classic plssss

Got one on order. Traded a 6 classic. $258 with an extra band. Most interested in GPS improvement for mountain biking

Non rotating bezel, what's the point, should have taken the bezel off and given more screen space

Design is is very ugly to me and battery life is joke, I have Garmin Epix 2 with 18 day of battery life and this watch is 2 years old now, when I buy him a have 20 to 21 days of battery and i meen as smart wach if you use navigation and topo maps it will last much less of course who wants really good watch with everything it's better to buy Garmin then this gimmicky Mickey Mouse funkcion.

So ugly watch, samsung tries copyright apple airpods and apple watch pro this year and its warstwa move for years

Ordered mines this morning. I currently have the classic 6. Time to move on to the next

Genuine review. Honestly asked for support through links

copy of apple watch ultra... 😂

Problem with using it for pool swims, with water lock on, you can’t scroll through the available information without turning off water lock, the rotating bezel allows you to scroll without going that one step. Correct me if i am wrong.

On the subject of bands, there ARE 3rd party bands on Amazon, also an adaptor to accommodate the old bands you may have,

Does it use the same charger as the 6? And will the new bands let you wireless charge?

Thanks for the video. Does this new Galaxy Watch has the body composition feature like the previous Galaxy watches?

Just ordered mine. Got it for $249 after trade in and discounts. Orange is my favorite color so naturally I got the orange one. 😊

Gorgeous looking watch

Trade in Watch 5 pro, used points & e-voucher for both Watch 7 ultra(Orange, really like the new looks, refreshing) and buds 3 pro(Silver). Can't wait to test them with my S24 Ultra. Nice video 👍

I love EVERYTHING about this watch! I pre-ordered it 😊😊😊

Got my pre order 350 off. Look at that HR sensor ❤️. I rarely use the rotating crown on my Apple watch ⌚️ Ultra. Can't wait to pair with my 24ultra. Hopefully we can get some good Velcro bands Good vid 🤙🏾

Ordered a White one. Super Excited to try when it lands. And Yes, Battery life with all features on Something of a concern since they did not mention it.

As someone else had mentionned, this reminds me of the Panerai Luminor Chrono, which I personally like (looks-wise).

Better be band adapter for my collection of 20mm bands. Love my titanium band

Are you able to flip the side of the buttons for a left/right handed person? The watch6 had that option

I'm still gonna buy it eventually it will go,good with my s24 ultra but my main watch is epix pro sapphire the battery is amazing

Coming from the watch 6 classic with a rotating bezel I need clarification do you rotate with your finger on the screen or on the bezel? I know the bezel it's self doesn't rotat.

In my opinion the 3rd button is not in a perfect place. If you wear gloves while working out the button could stop the workouts a lot of times. I am using watch 4 classic and the buttons sometime automatically presses during my workouts from my gloves. Planning to buy one, let's see how's is it going.

Love the look of this enough to pre-order one but I do wish it had a rotating bezel.

Pre ordered ✅️

I actually think its a pretty nice design

Thanks for vid. Imho - bad design, digital bezel - ugh, don't like the strap attachment, because if I understand correctly it doesn't give me the possibility to change to a normal strap.

I like the look. It's unique. The bands are nice too, it reminds me of the I think it was called the sport watch they had a few years ago.

Only thing missing is the rotating bezel. I'll wait for that

The limited functionality of the buttons is just mind boggling + the lack of rotating bezel or crown... The fact that Samsung limits this to hold and double press, or, more crucially, that one of the options is not available on the back button for the previous watch models because Samsung Pay is not available in your country is just ridiculous. Artificial limiting of functions. Why can't they enable hold, double and tripple press functions on all of the buttons to do anything or launch any app, not just the couple that they have chosen they want you to use...

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Hey Mike! One recommendation about comparison video you were telling about, please include watch 5 pro in comparison so that I can get an idea whether I should upgrade from pro to ultra or not. By the way awesome video. Hope you'll take this suggestion. Thank you!

I absolutely love the look. I'm trading in my 6 classic for sure.

There is options for the quick button, one of them is Flashlight. Also, this watch has the same battery as the 5 Pro. And since this Ultra connects to two satellite's, it's safe to say that doing this will consume more battery.
