Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra - 25+ Tips, Tricks and Hidden Features!

[@russellsviper10]

Best looking smart watch hands down, just ordered.

[@Yielar1]

Thanks. Took me a while to figure out how to turn the night mode on and off. After wearing the Watch 5 Pro daily for 2 years I must say the new Ultra watch blows the doors off of it in every way. The screen is much more vibrant and the 3000 nits brightness when outside is insane. The watch itself it nice and snappy with the new chip and the new Ultra watch faces finally feel like some serious thought were put into them and they feel much more professional looking than what I had available on the Watch 5 pro. The new bands are great and much beefier and robust looking. As much as I liked the magnetic band on my Watch 5 Pro, the new mechanism for attaching and removing the bands is much better. Over all. I'm very happy with my new Ultra watch

[@luisjuarez1200]

Thank you, very thorough tips.... Can't wait for my ultra watch to arrive.

[@DaneReidVoiceOver]

Just got mine. Looks better in person than in pictures

[@TralfazConstruction]

​@DaneReidVoiceOver It absolutely does. I look at mine many times a day. I like how it feels and how it looks on my wrist.

That was great! I love my watch 7 ultra! Got it yesterday!

[@VladimirMizich]

You can also customize the sounds of incoming calls, messages, event reminders etc. (I think there are 10+ options for each category). You can make sounds unique to you. Why do I bring this up at all? Well, have you ever been in a room with people where everyone wears an Apple Watch? (Happens at the gym often too by the way.) Suddenly a notification sound goes off, and everyone looks at their watch to check if it was theirs, because they all sound the same. With the Samsung Watch Ultra you can customize sounds. (It's not a new feature. Many watches have this option, but it's still a good feature to have.)

[@user-fd2dc8us8n]

I've done that on my phone ever since I could. It's funny to see people look around when my email app rings out in seagull cries or frogs croaking. Great for ringtones as well.

[@guslovo5900]

@VladimirMizich where do I find this at? I got the watch yesterday

[@user-fd2dc8us8n]

@guslovo5900 According to the video, use either settings>sounds on watch itself or use Health settings > sounds in app after watch is paired.

Not quite 48 hours into the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra ownership experience and I'm very enamored of it. My fiancée even likes it and she's complimented me on my choice several times over since i received this watch on Friday August 2, 2024. I have not been disappointed that the Watch 7 Ultra doesn't have the rotating bezel I've previously gone on about.

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

[@Runningonmymindblog]

Garmin are the best for exercise, but can't compare them as they're not smartwatches

[@rdlynch]

I had all those same watches. I still have my Samsung Galaxy. I traded in my Watch6 classic for the ultra and after trade in the Ultra was only 124.99.

Very helpful Video. Greetz from Koblenz / Germany

[@JohnMosley-g9d]

This is helpful for somebody who hasn't had any samsung watches before. But you went over a lot of features that are available on older models as well. Would you be able or willing to dive deeper into features exclusive to the 7 series and ultra?

[@markgibbons2mg]

Great video, very helpful. Thanks.

[@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.

[@corneliusjermainehightower7539]

See that’s the problem every year Google. Samsung can’t do anything Google has to fix there apps which should’ve been done before launch, but Google doesn’t give a crap. When the pixel watch drop they magically don’t have this issue I’m not seeing how building a system together helps Samsung. Should’ve stuck with Tizen.

I saw in one video you can put the strap on the other way and click a setting to turn everything on the watch upside down and either have the watch on your right hand or have the buttons away from your wrist so that the middle button doesn't get pressed by accident when you bend your wrist back, mabe doing pushups or something. Pretty cool.

[@LTCEZIO]

I just got mine in a day ago and I've been wearing it since. I got mine for $253.89 out the door. They did a huge discount on the watch itself and then I traded in my old Apple watch and got a huge discount with that as well

[@jibrilesa]

Thanks for this. mine arrives today

[@elmario74]

And again a super nice review, thanks for that! Im thinking about buying one aswell, but my main concern is the battery life. What's your experience with this Ultra? Does it improve coz its learning your usage?

[@anitahorvatirl]

I have same question

[@user-fd2dc8us8n]

Assuming it follows the way the phones do, it'll learn in a few days (although there's plenty people who don't).😅

[@bokiNYC]

I had my Watch Ultra for a week now and the battery is lasting day and a half to almost 2 with a few tweaks (disabled the lte since I don't need it on all the time, and a few more). It has the 590 mAh battery which is almost if not the biggest battery in any smart watch. There might be some more in depth reviews on youtube that could have some more in dept battery inforamarion.

[@Jor-El-Earth1]

The red light for night mode is not really so you can "see it better at night" it's to save your night vision when looking directly at it. Used in military settings. It's why we use red lights in the military so you can transition from that to complete darkness and retain more of your night vision. It has to do with the cones and rods in your eye. Not 100% effective but it's been shown to help.

[@psilva2565]

Mine arrived yesterday loving it so far.

[@jesseclarke9077]

With the night mode all in red. Red light doesn't reset your eyes adjustment to night time. It takes your eyes about 40 minutes to fully adjust to the dark. White light resets that immediately. Some campaights for star watching only allow red torches. Lots of animals can't see red light too.

Mine is on order. Replacing my Watch6 Classic.

[@bigjust9607]

Purchased this. After comparing I think the watch 6 classic and the regular watch 6 are a little better. They do all of the same things plus wireless charging and reverse power share works on the 6 series. Only one way to charge the ultra so you will definitely be carrying 2 chargers.

[@Chris._P._Bacon]

Finally, a proper reviewer showing us.....unlike a couple reviewers I've seen.

[@CD-sd2ey]

Fyi...You have to install google assistant on your watch before you can set it as the oress and hold button.

[@jerry-px5ru]

Assistant is not superior to Bixby. They are two totally different products and you should use both. The assistant is for looking things up like restaurants, conversions, facts Etc Bixby is for watch specific commands that the assistant cannot do... such as set up multi exercise, turn on my flashlight etc

[@Breezytoyou]

Mine shipped yesterday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mr.dsproductreviewchannel]

What about to Add a Custom Ringtone that You choose that's NOT one Pre-Installed so when the Phone Rings and You are NOT near it, the Watch Will Ring to let You know You have a Call or if having the LTE Activated, it will Ring with the Custom Ringtone that's NOT Pre-Installed? Please Show How to Add it to the Phone and then to the Watch and then while it's Ringing while either from the Bluetooth from the Watch or LTE Directly from the Watch.

Thank you very much for your tricks. Can I ask you please when you changed from old Galaxy Watch...to this Ultra did you need to reinstall app Wearable on you smartphone or how did you disconnect your old Galaxy Watch from this app? I think you can't have on app Wearable two Galaxy Watches yes?

[@HMC-p6p]

I’ve got 2 watches on the wearable app, you can set it to auto switch when you change watches.

[@samy467]

Most apps and setting can be synchronized to the new watch. A notable omission is Google Wallet, and I think that's by design due to security.

[@gavriel2005]

That night mode looks great for when in night, but you aren't sleeping, looks too bright if you are in bed and want to have a quick look to know the time. But I'll see when I actually have the phone, brightness in videos can be misleading.

I am keeping my Watch 5 Pro as Samsung Canada did not play fair on trade in on new watches this year. They jacked up the price of the new watches to reflect the difference in the Canadian dollar. But the trade in valve was not adjusted to reflect the difference in the Canadian dollars. They kept that the same as United States dollars. This amounted to several hundred dollars in Canadian dollars. So I will stay with my Watch 5 Pro until they start playing fair with Canadian customers...

After reading up on it some it seems that the app isn't compatible with the Watch Ultra. Pretty lame cause that's one of the things I wanted to use. Hopefully it's resolved with an update and not something they took out after the demos were sent out to creators to make content.

[@estebanrivera8820]

@SNFD I figured it out! At least one option, im not sure if there are others. If you go to the Wear App and go to the watch section and click on watch faces there should be a banner near the top that says Featured Watch Faces. Click that and load the Ultra Analog face. In the customization menue it let's you add complications and one that you can add is Assistant. Add that and save. Then go to the menu and you can change the home button to be the Google Assitant instead of Bixby. I was able to change my watch face back, and it kept that setting. Hope that works for you too.
