With the release of the new Samsung watches, I’m thinking about renewing my smartwatches. Because the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra catches my attention: it seems to me that it’s exactly what Samsung’s catalog needed. With big battery, durable, specialized in sports…There’s no doubt about it: the Apple Watch Ultra has a tough rival.
One of my favorite electronic devices is the smart watch, there is something about these wrist devices that drives me crazy. Because I have had countless of them, I have analyzed many others and I keep a small collection; with two models that I often wear simultaneouslyone in each hand. I started with a Sony smartwatch, one of the first to come out, twelve years ago. And the next one was a Samsung Galaxy Gear S, I bought it nine years ago. Since then, Samsung has climbed onto my personal watch podium.
This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE
Samsung finally specializes in sports with the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra
That Samsung took inspiration from the Apple Watch Ultra for the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra is more than clear
Since that first Samsung Galaxy Gear S, which had a curved AMOLED screen to fit the contour of the wrist (it wasn’t very comfortable, as it is), the Tizen interface has become one of my favorites. Using the watch was very simple, scrolling gestures felt naturalSamsung has always known how to combine health metrics with exercise and what about the dials: I think they are the best of all smartwatches. Apple should take more inspiration from Samsung.
Dials that change brightness and reflections depending on the movement of the wrist, a wide variety of health measurements (I find it very useful to have blood pressure on the watch, even if it is not 100% reliable), these are watches with an excellent… And they have two elements that I like to highlight: the round screen and the rotating bezel (on some models). I love the “click-click” when I turn the bezel of my Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic.
Although Samsung has managed to evolve its smartwatches to reach benchmark models in the sector, The brand lacked a model with which to complete the catalog. I think Apple did this very well with the original Apple Watch Ultra, which I also own: it focused its efforts on creating a watch with the best possible construction, the greatest versatility, it included the most comprehensive and reliable sports record, it also improved battery life considerably.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra is exactly that for Android.
Just like the Apple Watch Ultra, Samsung model is not for everyonesince it is aimed at those looking to improve their sports record as well as an orientation towards the most extreme practices. But what if I really want the best possible smartwatch, one that withstands everything and measures practices with maximum precision? There, I have the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra.
In all my testing of the Samsung Galaxy Watch, I’ve always missed better GPS accuracy and outdoor recordings. And battery life, with the move from Tizen to Wear OS The Samsung Galaxy ended up losing instead of winning. It’s not that the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra will improve this (hopefully again with Tizen), but that gigantic battery, along with the Exynos W1000, are promising. Also, the size is big, but hey: I’ve gotten used to the Apple Watch Ultra.
Samsung hit the nail on the head with the Galaxy Watch7 Ultra
I’ve never been rock climbing, but it’s nice to know the watch can withstand a sport like this.
The hardware leap over the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 doesn’t seem like a huge deal, though there are clear differences in battery life, processor efficiency, and the number of health metrics. All Samsung Galaxy Watch7 They offer a notable evolutionary leap in everyday use. And the Ultra is the cherry on top, a cherry that is not limited to aesthetic improvements. As has happened so far with the most advanced watch of each year.
Samsung is changing its strategy in 2024: instead of betting on a larger size and a more elegant design, as has happened so far with the Classic, the Ultra is a complete shift towards sport
Its starting price is quite high: those who are real sportsmen have a much more solid proposition in the Garmin Fenix. In my case, and how amateur athlete using smart watch in combination with mobilethe Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra is perfect. A little expensive at 699 dollars, but I am convinced that it will drop by half in a short time. All Galaxy watches do it. And, like them, this new Ultra will have a long life ahead of it.
