Galaxy Watch Ultra (Problems & Best Features 1 Month Later)

[@carlsouthern]

I swotched from iphone 15 & Apple Watch SE to the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Z Fold 6. I am super happy with this new setup.

[@RagingBad]

Welcome to real innovation

[@corneliusjermainehightower7539]

@@carlsouthern me too. I was surprised I normally have devices from both, but this was the first time I felt I could go one way or the other. Apple isn’t bad, but I like said from the book 4 edge till now Samsung nailed it and I mean in a big way. Yesterday I used the buds 3 and realized they are so good they make Spotify seem HiFi. I don’t miss my AirPod 2 pro.

[@sydguitar99]

Because of the bands, the watch faces, the literal name of the device, the action button, I mean cmon now 😂. I'm a galaxy user and I can see it

[@harryvlogs7833]

@sydguitar99 watch faces are just like other samsung watch faces. The bands aren't copies as all diving watches have that band design. Action buttons are on other watches. And Samsung had the ultra naming way before apple with s20ultra

[@JedEckert]

The marine band is meant for water use. Where most people don't wear long sleeves.

[@IanTaylorPDX]

4:29 in the settings you can tell it which side of the watch the buttons are on and it will flip the screen. So you can wear it on your left wrist and have the buttons on the left side.

[@kramdens1967]

In settings, I changed the middle button to require a double press, just to avoid accidentally pressing it.

[@thorpevic]

Good idea 👍

[@jimengab]

This watch has been nothing but awesome for me. As a long time Apple Watch User, this is the first time that buy a Smartwatch for Android that truly emulates the same AW premium experience. Only complaint I have is that the pinch gesture never works for me when I intend to use it, BUT it kept triggering my complications for some reason, so I had to disable. P.S: There has been 1, ONE true complaint for a misaligned display. The rest have been dumb people discovering that OLED displays move around a bit to prevent screen burn. The problem of the GWU is that the bezel has those giant arrows pointing down that makes it super obvious is you start to pixel peep the screen.

[@RagingBad]

People are do petty, including this guy

[@travisswiley7663]

I like the look of the watch but having a garmin fenix 7x saphirre I can't see this watch being better. Especially since I get about 25 days of battery life when using gps every day for 3 hours.

[@uneaz]

Thanks for the detailed review.

[@light-master]

What I want, is for Samsung to understand that people that work nightshift can't go to sleep between 11pm and 2am. Their new Energy tracker constantly complains that I go to sleep too late at 8am. Sad that their engineers that work on this can't understand that your circadian rhythm can adjust if you work nights and sleep during the day.

[@MrSeedi76]

At least you don't need to put a sleep schedule into the watch like in a Garmin 😂.

[@JayDelaine2008]

Just give me a bigger battery with the rotating bezel. THAT'S ALL I WANT!!

[@therealgavinsplayground]

The only reason I bought Samsung watches was the rotating bezel. I actually like the digital bezel. You do get used to it.... Believe me. I love it now. I would take the digital bezel over the rotating bezel not because the rotating one would get grimy and dirty for me. This is way smoother.... I almost didn't buy it because the lack of rotating bezel. I'm extremely glad I did get one. The lack of share charging is a disappointment....

[@aoh4905]

how does it compare with Watch 7? which one did you get?

[@chucky1golf]

Don't miss the rotating bezel swiping now easier. Glad you like yours 👍

[@FirBurger98]

I had the frontier for like 5-6 years, and this is my first time upgrading watched since then. I can't say I used the rotating bezel. It's cool, but it got gunky and hard to turn after some time.

[@rd6416]

​@@FirBurger98I still have my/the original galaxy watch so it's like 8 years old or so, and I my rotating bezel has never once got full of gunk and still works great. Sadly the battery has started to fail so I keep it on watch only mode most of the time, but even so I'm impressed it's still going.

[@eroc162able]

Hopefully the make a software update where we can use the side buttons like you suggested in sports mode. That actually makes alot of sense. Lovin this watch tho

[@alekspalacio3698]

You actually can use it in sports mode. I use mine in that mode and I set up to have to double press on it so it won't accidentally engage

[@urshaan]

All the Cons mentioned by you are just your personal struggle with the watch and are not actual cons 😂

[@miket3652]

Nice HR graphs... the real issue with Garmin wrist-worn devices is that a lot of them are physically large. This tends to cause poor fit/poor contact between the optical HR sensors and our skin. I understand why people like "giant" devices on their wrist (larger screens for activities where Garmin devices excel; eg. mapping), however it is astounding how poor most Garmin devices actually are for HR tracking during activities such as runs. The Forerunner series is built specifically for runners, and does such a great job with training readiness/training load, yet still struggles to achieve the kind of accuracy devices costing a lot less have little issue with. Comparing the Forerunner 165/265 to the Apple Watch SE 2, a chest strap is pretty much a necessity with the Forerunner devices... yet the SE 2 does a superb job. Apple's concave design of the HR sensor probably eliminates a lot of the issues the Garmin devices have. Interesting to see how well the Galaxy Watch did- I suspect a chest strap isn't necessary, but it would be interesting to see how it does with other activities, such as weightlifting.

[@galaxophone]

I agree that the rotating bezel is obviously missing, especially as someone used to premium Galaxy Watches. The static bezel kind of has a bit of lift to it, showing how great it would be if it rotated, and that it clearly could have if they prioritized that design feature. I have to wonder why. Maybe I'm missing some hardware limitation. I really can't imagine it costing so much more that it would make the price unreasonable. Curious omission.

[@galaxophone]

I thought the middle button would rotate and make up for the loss, but nope :(

[@Der_Micha93]

It was actually the first thing for me to set double-tap to the orange button. It's good that Samsung had thought of it and gave you the opportunity.

[@DIYmotorcycle]

I have one this is my first Smartwatch so I don't have anything to compare it to. But so far so good the only complaint I have is when they do an update you have to redo a lot of things on the watch like your gestures, since I'm a very active I'm also a mechanic I got a protective cover for mine, the first one was a kind that just snaps over The Watch,but they are complete garbage and will not stay on if you grab the watch to adjust it on your wrist it just comes off in your hand. The spigen case without the band is working very well. I also have a screen protector on it.

[@Gadgetonomy]

I think having a rotating bezel would compromise the durability. I miss it too but I can kind of see why they didn't include it.

[@Kiserai]

I actually feel the complete opposite about the bands - I feel like I have to press really hard to get them to release, but connecting them is a breeze. The trick is to pinch the connector by the ends using your thumb and forefinger, then apply pressure directly to both prongs that stick out of the ends. It will slip right in.

[@jimbryant2157]

The Galaxy 7 is my first smartwatch, so I had never heard of the Morning Briefing feature (from another brand), but Samsung adding that to the G7 would be a great idea!

[@jonathantimm4645]

I had one and returned it. Unfortunately the live pace jumped around for me and there was no way to import running workouts or programs to the Watch. Other than that, I loved it. However, Garmin is still winning for me. Especially since I love that it gives me recommended running workouts.

[@keithstone69]

Yeah if fitness is the reason you get a smart watch, I don't see how anyone wins over Garmin honestly

[@Maraxus34]

Great video Mike! I'm eager to see an updated review on the Galaxy Watch 7. That was the watch that had a lot more issues with GPS accuracy, and I'm wondering if it has improved for people after any updates?

[@frbhedge]

Did the exercise tests include listening to music? Would be interesting to understand if the battery life quote included this kind of usage

[@gaius_marius]

Excellent review. Regarding the gaps in the oxygen graph during sleep, I have the same issue with the Galaxy Watch 6 classic. I thought it was a fit issue, but apparently it is something inherent to all Galaxy watches.

[@SabriToefy]

Hi, is there now on the Watch 7 or the new UI that has an auto lock option like most other Smartwatches, so that after about +- 10sec etc of no usage the screen locks and you must enter a PIN or Pattern etc to unlock. My watch keeps doing its own things when I shower and the water goes onto the screen or run etc. I've checked for a 3rd party app also but I haven't found something. Please advice and recommend if possible. Thanks.

[@ZsoltSzenasiSmart]

did you checked the heart rates on the wrist or with the chest strap with the polar and the garmin?

[@MTBryanH]

I just can't get sleep tracking to work. It takes about 2 hours before it detects my sleep. And often has 1-2 hour gaps throughout the night. I've watching about all videos on settings with no help. I even shaved the back of my hand and tried heart rate monitor gel. I guess I'll reach out to Samsung. My 5 Pro never had this issue. Otherwise, I love the watch!

[@user-ij8no5zw6u-]

Thanks Mike for the update on performance , I got my watch ultra on my Tmobile account on a good promo deal. I’m really liking the versatility. Love the looks of the watch.

[@markhackl375]

I was ready to buy until I realized that there was no rotating bezel and the wristband uses proprietary connectivity. The bezel is the best thing that Samsung watches have going for them. It's their edge.

[@paadza]

Are you getting 2,5 days battery life with AOD?

[@Vlatard]

Great video, as usual. You use the orange accents watch, but you use the black strap. You think, that grey version will match better with different colors and styles than the orange one? Just an aesthetics question

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Thanks! Honestly, it's such a personal preference thing. I liked the dark watch and dark strap combo and I thought the accents looked cool. I imagine any combo of straps and body from the Samsung launch will probably look pretty decent

[@10pm63]

4:04 There's an option to make it a double click. That will eliminate most unintentional clicks

[@JUSTYSMOKE]

Fix work profiles on galaxy watches. I can’t get any calendar notifications / widgets for work which requires google calendar ONLY, and many apps are missing like garage controls, vehicle controls, etc.

[@TheJaycal77]

As an person with adhd you'd thinkI'dd want a gimmicy rotating bezel, but nope, i dont. Im not rotating when running because im jogging, and the balancing act if rotating is well, not happening.

[@jamesm568]

This is also not a classic as normally the rotating bezels are on the classic models.

[@TJMGator]

Love my watch ultra! Great Video, Thank You! The double push on the middle button solved problems!

[@AtlanticPicture]

I'm glad I kept the 5PRO. Although I'd prefer it in silver, it has a good battery, sapphire glass, a titanium case, and tons of affordable band options. Have about 10, and with a titanium-colored metal band, it looks awesome-same with leather ones. Because it's minimalist, it can be both dressy and sporty. That's exactly the design what Samsung needed + the rotating bezel. A real watch looking smartwatch, that can be sporty and elegant. The Gear Sport what this looks like (not the crApple one) was not really hit for a reason.

[@Mgh101590]

This is a question regarding the polar heart rate monitor who made it one of the best heart rate trackers around ? like who gave it that title ?what type of testing was it put under to give it that prestigious title of one of the top heart rate monitors in the market? I've always wondered how do we know that Apple or Samsung trackers aren't actually much more accurate than the polar one?

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Watches use photoplethysmography methods (optical LED based sensors) to read your HR. The Polar H10 has electrodes on your chest that actually read the electrical signals of your heart (Electrocardiogram, aka ECG) ECG is well researched and considered to be one of the best ways to read a heart rate in the medical community. Check out this source for more information: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19848857/

[@dannydaw59]

I was hoping to see what the charger looks like and how it connects to the charger.

[@blacktrump0674]

Really detailed video. I especially like the time you put into the graphing to check accuracy of heart rate and GPS. What's weird is that Samsung had briefing on the Galaxy Watch 3 under advanced features but now they don't. You were actually able to manually set a time for it to appear or have it automatically appear. Thanks again for your quality content!

[@kongukaran]

it would take a second or two before the lights turn off. It's completely normal.

[@corneliusjermainehightower7539]

Great video I absolutely enjoyed it! This watch has been the best watch from Samsung I have ever owned. Connecting the scraps is super simple and it actually took a lot of thought in the process. I have the same issue where I thought it was hard and you had to put effort into connecting the watch band. Think about how the watch straps angle when connected that’s the key as you put them on ever so slightly angle them and they slide in like butter took me a while to realize but when I figured it out every click minimal effort. If Samsung can improve going forward from this point, they got a hit.

[@RagingBad]

This is so far the best system I've seen, I can't believe he criticized it when he's the one making a mistake

[@madAdventures6987]

Agree about the Garmin, I haven't missed my epix pro although if the fenix 8 has a microphone that you can actually text maybe use Google Assistant and answer phone calls I might be tempting, I do miss the morning report though I hadn't thought of it until you brought it up Samsung definitely needs to add something like that

[@stuartmuncey9855]

Wonder if someone can help? If you are just using the Ultra in Bluetooth mode (not set up a data plan yet) does it use whatever connection your phone is using? So if my phone is on Wifi does the watch use that Wifi even if wifi is switched off on the watch? I noticed the other day I had apps to update on the watch and the Wifi on the watch was off but connected to my phone on Wifi. The updates were slow but when I turned Wifi on, on the watch they were updated very quickly. Just thought having Wifi switched on on the watch would drain the battery if not connected to Wifi (when out and about for example)

[@MarkElmore]

Think of your Bluetooth connection between phone and watch like it's a wire or second monitor on your desktop . Your watch only butlers the phone unless it's doing a stand alone operation that needs no connection . Yes Wi-Fi by itself on the watch does use quite a bit more battery when active but you can set it to auto to save battery . Hope that helps .

[@DrGazza]

Did you check the blood pressure accuracy?

[@JackCarlson860]

For the middle button being randomly pressed, you can set it to only open the quick action with a double press which has helped me have way less accidental activations (I use it for the stopwatch)

[@robbied4766]

I've noticed my action button is starting become a little loose. Ive seen a few people showing that their crown fell off. I've had mine for a month now and so far so good.

[@Stan-s3w]

I love the watch, but two and a half days of battery life my ass. I charge it to 100%, go to the gym for 2 hours, and it's at 52% when I get back home with everything on. My Apple Watch Ultra lasts truly two and a half days with everything on. I still like the Galaxy watch ultra than the Apple one though. And it looks awesome with a good 3rd party watchface, and matching metal band.

[@mlapaglia07]

You can set up a bixby command to do all of your morning briefings.

[@frodar48]

I have the 5 pro and get the same battery life, but I won't upgrade again until they put rotating bezel back on it. I have a Gear S3 with it and sorely miss that feature.

[@timmytay521]

Hello, thanks for the video, try rotate the app shortcut using the touch screen at the edge, you may notice nothing when you start slide from 12oclock, and when you slide until 3oclock spot, the system started react and app screen started to rotate in fast, and while you reach around 5oclock, it jerks again and no response and suddenly rotate fast again to catch up when you keep on sliding (try touch screen diagnostic on device care and you will see outter circle is very insensitive). Seond thing is to have LTE set up, then go to a spot that has very bad signal(too bad where in live is in such situation) like 1-2 bars signal, the watch keep on heating up and prompt you about "watch cooling" message and sometimes it allows you to scroll but nothing happens when you tab on the screen, and it drains your battery like crazy like there is no tomorrow.

[@davidwright1492]

People are always complaining

[@Gryskar]

I really like the idea of using the double-pinch gesture with the Ultra, but I’m worried it might accidentally stop my alarm without me realizing it. When I’m sleep-deprived, I sometimes turn off or snooze alarms without even remembering and then fall back asleep. To avoid being late for work, I’ve started using multiple alarms on both my phone and watch, including apps that make me solve a math problem to wake up. My concern is that stopping an alarm with the gesture could become a muscle memory habit, and I might not even notice it happening. I’d love for Samsung to add an option to choose which apps can use the double-pinch gesture. It would be great to enable it for things like the camera shutter, phone calls, or other features, but I definitely wouldn’t want it to stop an alarm !

[@kbagrows]

I've noticed the same with my GW7. Had to turn off gestures so I don't accidentally turn off my alarm, and like you, I've set two alarms. Never had this issue with my GW6. But turning off gestures seems to have fixed it for now.

[@kamalasyraf6714]

The strap is easy to put on by using your thumb and index finger to push the end of both band connectors.😃

[@jeromegold3216]

Great content. In my opinion, as for the strap wonce, it's in its not moving. It's locked in tight. Not like the apple Ultras band that the corners wiggle up and down. Samsungs strap assembly is the best on the market. As for the center button, I use the double press to activate whatever I want to use with it, so I bump it by accident nothing happens. Battery life to me is fantastic, I only have to charge my watch twice a week. I'll take that any day over my watch 4 44 mm that I had to charge every day and 2 hours. What a breath of fresh air.

[@fredrikmagnusson6469]

I also got it. I like it. BUT i was not aware that the metal around the display it NOT titanium. Already getting scratches.. That's actually a downgrade for me. Durability was supposed to be number one in this new one.

[@MrSeedi76]

Titanium actually scratches easier than steel if it isn't surface-treated. But it's lighter.

[@markbc1]

Great Video Thank you for this! 👍 I really like the Watch 7 Ultra! Miss rotating bezel, but in general it does what i want. BAD: The button change options are too limited. We should be able to reprogram the middle button for ANY Option on the watch not just a couple choices that Samsung chooses. Battery Life: I've done 7 battery tests over four weeks. [My use case is running/walking/gym work outs 3-5x a week, use it for sleep, music while running, and general use all the time.] Battery life: 53hours per charge when AOD(always on display) is OFF. ~38hours when AOD was on.

[@tjc3189]

Can anyone see their nest doorbell bell in the Google home app on the watch?

[@Grubbytoe]

Hi, great vid as always. One big thing omitted unfortunately from most reviews though - if you use the watch in standalone LTE mode in a relatively low signal area, it overheats and goes into sos mode within 3/4 minutes. The Apple Watch does not. For context, I flip between the S24 ultra and 15 pro max regularly (I love both and stops me being bored) along with both watches. Have sent the Samsung Watch back… Now there are a few cases of this reported it needs someone like you to highlight the issue in your professional videos. Keep up the great work. Try the above and you will see what I mean

[@a.n.3284]

I bought mine today for €506=$548. It's weird because I live in Belgium and usually technology is more expensive here. Look at the Playstation 5 Pro, I pre-ordered mine for €799= $865.... The Pro in the US cost only $699.But for some reason Samsung is cheaper in Belgium. The Fold 6 I only payed €1399: $1515 and so far, I'm a happy customer. 😊

[@leeroyjenkins43]

If you adjust the strap properly then you don't have the big bit sticking out. Just saying 🙂

[@GearWave]

Can we all take a moment to send a message to Samsung to INVEST in better looking and fitting watch bands for their besutiful watches. This is a major selling point and advantage to getting smart watches....having the ability to switch styles and colors according to what your doing. You may not want to wear such a big and bright watch to dinner kr more formal event....but you may consider it if before dinner or going out you could switch to a more mature style and size of band.

[@slarti42uk]

Can i get a show of hands from anyone who's been able to use the LTE, feature away from your phone, preferably with you phone turned off. Eg make calls or sent text when you only have the watch with you, or your phone has died. I'm unable to do this with EE in the UK, and I'm trying to determine if this is a wider watch issue, or a carrier issue. TiA

[@935giovany]

You have to number sync your watch, you pay extra service with your provider to do that

[@JeffMageesr82]

Great video with very good useful information 👍 👌 Thanks. I'm hoping to get this watch soon. I'm still rocking the w4c and w3c . Really wish they didn't get rid of the rotating bezel. Love this new look of the watch. The only part samsung copied was the stupid orange button and band, lol.

[@dannialgarcia309]

You forgot to mention the pathetically weak magnetic charger that comes with this thing. It barely holds on to the watch and is extremely awkward to use. I would have preferred a pedestal like charger like the first iterations of the samsng watch. The puck style charging is magnetically weak and cumbersome to use. It barely holds on.

[@cruznmarine2208]

I see a LOT of people complaining about it not having a rotating bezel. I'm honestly not understanding what the big deal is. Can somebody enlighten me?

For me, the rotating bezel makes it feel like a real analog watch somehow. Like those old watches that had the synchro thing, I don't know it's hard to explain 🤗

[@Sir_Emo]

Is it actually worth the money to anyone? Just curious, I personally just don't see the use of this one at 650 vs a old one at 100. I had the old one for two weeks and I literally couldn't find a reason to use it. Possibly because I dont check all that workout data stuff??? I'm very fit so I just don't care to track.

[@saulslowik395]

I am grateful that Samsung FINALLY put dual-band GPS in. The only thing keeping me from switching away from Apple was how horrid Samsung's GPS accuracy used to be.

Samsung's after-sales is terrible. My Ultra watch came defective, takes 4 hours to charge and the compass sensor doesn't work properly. Instead of changing the watch for a new one, they canceled the purchase and now I'll have to wait for the voucher chargeback to buy again.

If I charge it at night at 100% and get up in the morning it is at least 15% off without having used it. I'm thinking of buying a Classic 6 again lol
