Thanks Alex, my ultra arrived today! What a fantastic bit of kit!

[@viazel2796]

Perfect timing! I reference your channel to set up my Samsung devices. Thank you!

[@MrRootlinux]

Just ordered mine to replace my Watch6 Classic. Most settings I forgot because I switch them from watch to watch. Great tips though. Especially the Spotify music list. If you do not know, with Spotify you can chose to play via watch speaker or control earbuds.

[@DavidMGonzales4a]

Great tips! Thank you. Getting my Ultra Watch this weekend!

[@JonathanWilcox71]

Can't wait

[@dannyobrien5143]

Got my watch today very happy with it. Thanks for helping me set it up

[@joeaugust1926]

In-depth analysis. Exactly what I needed. This Alex is a genius. One love from Nigeria ❤️

[@robb69]

I dont recommend google assistant because it runs in the background and significantly reduces your battery life. Bixby on the other hand does not.

[@ExposedRoot]

FYI.... You can do Google Assistant and Bixby. I never used Bixby on my watch5 pro only Google Assistant. What's good about Bixby is it's integrated into your device so you can just call out actions and it does it. Google Assistant is my go to but that's just for outside Google searches or questions, The way to have both is to set one button for one And then a gesture for the other. I've been using these buttons on my previous watch so I muscle memory and didn't want to change my button setup but I did use my gesture.. long home button press for Google Assistant and knock knock for Bixby.

[@AYAmusicish]

Yep I use both. Long press for assistant and double press for bixby

[@maximeclementiastrom5376]

I hold the Bixby button and just bring my watch close enough to say "Ok Google." This way, I don't lose the use of my two times button.

[@subzero_757]

this waz really helpful thx Alex 🤙🏼

[@mig0072000]

Is there any restriction on the region to use / Change to google assistant ? In Mx I cannot switch

[@MarkElmore]

I didn't know about the long press can now choose Assistant instead of Bixby . Thank you for that . I've been using double tap to launch Assistant but now that's set to Alexa Best way to make the keyboard better is use GBoard instead . Samsung keyboard swiping is horrible and GBoard is decent .

[@geovanni888drumer]

A man of culture !!! Loved seeing eminem and kendrick on your spotify !

[@dondearman4803]

Had mine 3 days always on haven’t charged it yet

[@ComicConBooBoo]

you can switch to google assistant once installed

[@sholabadmus2668]

Please kindly explain how to do screen mirror or cast on galaxy a05 thank you

[@SoulFU2]

Am I able to put "Device Care" (in the setting screen) in my apps row, for quicker access?

[@invincibleleozack]

Thanks for video would you like please to make video about battery life extension

[@leonpatrick5606]

That watch looks and sounds way more functional than the irubbish.

[@2URGSE]

Good stuff as usual!!!

[@jeromegold3216]

Great content. I wish you would have shown how to set up sleep apnea monitoring. Maybe next time.

[@konstantinavalentina3850]

I'm wondering how to enable Blood Pressure monitor in US. It's disabled in US bc FDA something something, but, enabled outside US? How to force/hack watch to show Blood Pressure & ECG instead of just ECG all alone? I haven't found anyone online yet that has a way to enable the blood pressure monitor, nor have I really found anyone that really even seems interested in enabling it. It's like; "meh *shrugs* whatever". I, however, feel a little cheated. Blood pressure is important for health tracking, and even if it isn't approved by FDA on Galaxy Watch Ultra, I want it enabled.

[@Trubyd44]

I wanted to clear up something that you said you said that using KZbin music if you download the music onto your watch that you can play the music from your watch well actually you cannot use the speakers on your watch to play that KZbin music you have to pair earbuds or some other speaker in order to send the music from your watch to a speaker I have been struggling with this for hours trying to get KZbin music to play using the speakers on the watch and I cannot make it work, am I missing something?

[@johnnykeener3727]

TYVM

[@ParamvirSingh-nl9wl]

There's a bug which Samsung officially acknowledged that is causing this battery drain,for now it's recommended to disable ok google voice command. Go to settings,google, assistant and turn off ok Google. That should fix major battery drain till Samsung officially patch that bug.

[@suaverp2170]

Off topic. Why does it feel like the black display on my watch isnt as vlack as yours or others i see on youtube? Mine has some kind of geeyish tone

[@pacnorthwst]

What Tablet is he using?? Anybody know?

[@Kayodeaiyedun]

Hey Alex, great video. Figured you probably make your thumbnails yourself. Can i help you improve thumbnails?

[@amitjesur]

Does this pair with non galaxy smartphones? if yes, which feature don't work? Does LTE work?

[@kakarotuchiha8662]

No it doesn't

[@GeZ-DM]

Yes it does pair with other Android devices, the comment above is clueless.

[@Yielar1]

Yes, but you won't have all of the same features and functionality vs a Galaxy watch.

[@alexchavez3383]

Features that might now work include some higher level health data: heart/blood pressure info that you probably shouldn't trust/need a watch for. And there are workarounds on YT for this. Just about everything else works together, since Samsung and Google partner on these projects.

[@jamesm568]

The Ultra is a beautiful watch and it's able to achieve 5 days worth of battery life for those of us that actually use it like a smartwatch. Now if you use the health features of the Ultra then expect to charge it every day as Wear OS is very inefficient and not a very good platform for any type of physical data recording. Now I personally dislike all three of the watch bands that were offered with the Ultra as those were immediately tossed in the garbage can, but thank goodness for Amazon having magnetic bands. Samsung was very disappointing in the watch band department this year.

[@morduublackcrown1528]

Ive had my watch for about a week and have only needed to barely charge it once even with always on display

[@markvalentine9977]

That watch is not called the Ultra 7, just Ultra .

[@ChaseDowell]

I'm confused, this watch has LTE, why do you need to have your phone on you or on the same WiFi network to get notifications and listen to music without saving to storage.

[@NewTechUnbox]

They’ve made it so you need to pay for a separate contract 😂

[@ExposedRoot]

😂😂😂 do you think watches that come with LTE have free call plans?? Did you think the Apple watch ultra doesn't have a call plan. I don't understand how people are spending money on devices without doing their research.. I research the hell out of things.

[@NewTechUnbox]

@@ExposedRoot I don't think this was always the case. Technically speaking they should be free

@@NewTechUnbox no, they should not be free. It's a separate device. You need a plan for your phone, you need a plan for your watch if you want to use it without your phone. It's just common sense.

[@YamaHoyes]

Anyone seen a problem with exercise tracking STOPPING in the middle of an exercise? For past 2 days my Ultra randomly stopped tracking in the middle of treadmill and started "auto detecting" the run...NOT GOOD! I noticed the steps were accurate, but distance, etc were reset.

[@larryag99]

Does anyone have any experience with getting the LTE function to work? Some say you need a second mobile plan, others not. I bought a second plan but could not get the ultra to scan a QR code from the carrier. Both Samsung and carrier were unable to get it working.

[@singingjunkie2]

I am having issues with it too. I'm thinking maybe it's not able to be activated because it hasn't officially been released yet? I'm going to try it again tomorrow on the official release day to see if that was the issue.

[@larryag99]

​@singingjunkie2 also seems like there is some confusion about if a second stand alone carrier plan is needed, some say yes, some say no.

[@iraqvet0753]

I was able to get mine working with ATT. Had to go in store for them to add it though

[@larryag99]

@@iraqvet0753 good to know. I have seen posts that say using LTE is a battery killer. Has that been your experience?

[@aarkestraclub326]

Is your channel dedicated to explore galaxy series and it's features, if yes then tell me I will subscribe to you

[@weaverron3751]

so how do you get to messages to change the keyboard?

[@thom848]

Go to settings ->general->input

[@BLACKPANTHER-me6qn]

How do you get ai reply in messages

[@bwoohk]

oh! Looks pretty cool! But it’s very similar to the Apple Watch

[@AndreasFesas]

is that a pokemon card?

[@rockroldan6049]

Just bought my watch two days ago and i still have 60% left

[@ski-keser9457]

Pure battery life. Only 14 hours in day

[@darksaiyan4]

Why this watch so expensive

[@larryblackburn9225]

All my apps won't show up

[@burke985]

I use gboard and Google text to speech, way better than the Samsung stuff

[@suaverp2170]

Which watchface is that?

[@bobbafett1971]

Using this as a sport watch. I don't like the gestures.

[@johnfoster7596]

Your voice and delivery in your shorts is so fast and obviously rushed, hard to understand and too fast to easily understand! You obviously know well and have your mind wrapped around what you are trying to tell people but for someone trying to follow the details of your good tips it's nigh impossible to follow your tips. Many times I just give up! If you put something like: Settings / Display . . . etc. below a video people may be able to follow the settings of the tips in the complexity of the now Samsung settings!

[@_olamilekan]

🎉❤❤

[@kevinolson1851]

I have had my watch for 3 days now and the battery life is abysmal... I have full battery saver mode on and everything turned off, including always on display. I am lucky if I get 24 hours our of this thing with very minimal use.. I might return this thing.

[@emirsan6034]

Same here. Yesterday i Full loaded it before sleeping and put it on. After 6 hours of sleep in Power saving Mode with everything of except health tracking the watch had 86%. After i woke up and tryed to figure out what Was Happening for 30 min i had 68%. Now i have 36 % in 11pm and have to Charge again... 590 mah ofc... My watch 6 classic with 420 mah could last at least for 2 days without Power saving Mode Just without alwasy on Display. Im Waiting 4-5 more Days otherwise im returning it aswell.

[@ChoirAnthony]

DO NOT RETURN! it's takes a couple days to "learn" your usage ... it gets better! 😊had mine a few days now too. LOVE IT!

[@jasonandrew412]

Same here.. waiting for the return period to expire then warranty it

[@Breezytoyou]

I just use watch mode for now😂

[@kevinat0r.13]

Mine is pretty horrible as well. Had it since Thursday so the battery has "broken in". My Watch 5 Pro had substantially better battery life.

[@DrJEETENDRAJADHAV]

Dont buy watch ultra .Pathetic battery life on watch ultra!!!! with lte mode it doesnt last more than 5 hrs ( samsung service centre reply & confirmation for the same) one should never trust their pre order / pre launch offers with hidden unacceptable feature. LTE mode battery life less than watch 4 classic!!! what an upgrade 😡😡😡

[@robb69]

Really? I spent 16 hrs at the beach yesterday with the watch in LTE the entire time and it only drained the battery from 100% to 70%.

[@_olamilekan]

Are you a sasquatch 😂😂😂😂

[@AlexTheAviator]

No such thing Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra !
