Are you ready to explore the cutting edge of wearable technology? I've just spent 48 hours with Samsung's latest offerings, the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7, and I'm here to share my initial thoughts. While this isn't a comprehensive review, it should address some of your most pressing questions.
Let's dive right into the aesthetics. The Ultra, Samsung's first watch to bear the 'ultra' branding, sports a design that's... polarizing. The cushion case, or 'squirkle' as some have dubbed it, is a love-it-or-hate-it feature. Surprisingly, it looks better in person than in photos or videos, and the white version is particularly striking. However, on my 152 mm wrist, the Ultra feels substantial, almost cumbersome.
In contrast, the Galaxy Watch 7 fits like a glove. It's 40 mm smaller, more comfortable, and ideal for sleep tracking. But be warned, the Ultra boasts a tougher construction and a bigger battery, which you might miss out on with the Watch 7.
Despite their differences, these watches share more similarities than you might think. Much like the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, the core features remain the same, with only a few additional tools like trackback setting them apart.
The Ultra introduces new watch faces, including Ultra Analog Simple and Ultra Infoboard, along with a night mode option. Both models now feature an always-on display that can be easily accessed with a simple tap, a convenient improvement over previous models.
The quick button, a staple on the side, no longer rotates like a crown. By default, it launches the workout menu, but you can customize it to suit your needs. The double pinch action is also available, allowing you to answer calls, dismiss alerts, and more, but you'll need to enable this feature in the settings.
One standout feature is sleep apnea detection. To use this, you'll need the Samsung Health Monitor app, which is exclusive to Galaxy phones. After two nights of sleep data, the watch will notify you if it detects anything abnormal.
The energy score is another intriguing addition, taking into account your activity and sleep patterns. While I haven't received any AI recommendations yet, I'm eager to see if this feature provides actionable insights.
For cyclists, the new functional threshold power feature is a game-changer. The Ultra can calculate your maximum power in just 4 minutes, a stark contrast to the 20-minute or hour tests typically required.
The Ultra boasts the largest battery of any Galaxy watch to date, but it comes with a caveat. The first 48 hours have revealed that reverse wireless charging is no longer available, a significant downside for those who rely on this feature. The new bioactive sensor design is to blame, as the watch no longer sits flush against the back of the phone for charging.
This is just a glimpse into the world of Samsung's latest watches. I'm excited to delve deeper into their features and share more comprehensive insights in the upcoming full review. In the meantime, let me know what else you're curious about, and I'll be sure to cover it.
Thanks for joining me on this initial exploration. Until next time, keep an eye on the horizon, where technology meets innovation.
