I thought I finally got the one SmartWatch that I needed. I do have Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm LTE which is purchased in USA but doesn’t measure Blood Pressure unlike even Glaaxy Watch 4 that was released many years back. That’s one of the reasons I bought Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra. Looks like USA users still can’t measure Blood Pressure. Even Apple Watch Ultra 3 supposed come with some sort of Pressure monitoring system without actually mentioning the SYS and DIA measurements. I overall feel that Watch Ultra is no better than Watch 6 Classic in any ways. I feel the circular shape looking better and the feel of the watch is more in the 6 Classic than the toy looking Ultra.

So didn't Samsung know that a "watch Ultra" is an Apple thing? Why did they copy it? If Orange straps were Samsung's own things, why didn't they use it in other watches till now? Didn't Samsung know that a Watch Ultra being orange is an Apple thing?

      What about the shape? They had nearly a decade of circle watches and only now got into a squircle shape. Didn't they know it was an Apple thing?

      There's nothing wrong with having a squircle watch that's orange, but also calling it a Watch Ultra and pricing it so high means it has no uniqueness and is just a rip-off of Apple's work. Anyways, I'm done. I hate Apple's works myself so you acting like I love Apple or something is just weird. GO back to twitter and fight with someone else about this, I don't like baseless arguments, only that bird app likes it.

            2 hours for charging a 500 mAh battery is a crime in nearly 2025 ...
            I was interested in Watch7 but why changing my Watch3 Titanium for a model with lesser battery? 😬
            It's already painful to have to charge it every 2 or 3 days depeding on usage ... With WearOS I only take out a day, perhaos a day in half at best, sadly.
            Bring back Tizen 😍
            Offer choice to users and you'll see Samsung!

They knew very well that orange straps were used on Samsung's "sporty" watches. It looks nice, so they stole it. That doesn't mean you get to claim it as yours, Apple. Stop being weird.

                    We were promised the Galaxy Watch Ultra would monitor blood glucose levels in an effort to prevent diabetes . But this function is missing and if present none of Samsung's sale teams knows anything about it as they have all denied it.

                    Can Samsung please throw more light into this

                      Still using my watch 4 classic. No need to upgrade. I like the rotating bezel and this one is just a shitty copy of the Apple watch ultra

                        I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (LTE, 47mm) (model SM-L705FDAAXAC), and it has been an outstanding addition to my tech collection. Here's an overview of my experience with this smartwatch:Design and Build Quality: The Galaxy Watch Ultra boasts a sleek and robust design. Its 47mm case size offers a bold look without being overly bulky.

                          Battery charges for 3 hours on my Ultra

                            That many health features with the hardware would work only with Samsung phones is a major red flag.

                              Old galaxy user, 13 Aug 2024What a major let down by Samsung! I would gladly have paid... moreRotating bezels are Samsung watches' key selling point for me and they dropped the ball with this one.

                                Tq, 13 Aug 2024You mean copied itself because that design came out on the ... moreAgain, why didn't they release an Ultra alongside the S20 Ultra, Note20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra or even the S23 Ultra? Why did they release it 2 years after Apple and their main color being the orange one? Samsung has always been bold with their colors yet they chose the one that's closest to the one Apple released with?

                                Also, what design came with the Gear S3? This phone is a squircle with a circle display. They couldn't make it a square display cus it'd be TOO blatant.

                                  How embarrassing that they had to keep the casing square so it looks like the Apple Watch Ultra but had to use a round screen because Wear OS only works on those. Looks absolutely terrible.

                                      Longer battery life even though it has a much more powerful cpu are good prospects for exynos 2500 in s25

                                        What a major let down by Samsung!
                                        I would gladly have paid the price to update my watch 6 classic. But not with this ridiculous appelish design knock-off. And no rotating bezels. One can only wonder how decisions are made inside this company. To please egos (you get this year and you get the next) or to please costumers and thus profits. The review is far too appeasing, but I guess advertising has to be kept going.

                                          3 of 6
