Samsung’s answer to the Apple Watch Ultra is loaded with sensors at a more affordable price.
Samsung has added a new device to its Watch lineup with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. But the Ultra is not the only smartwatch launched at Galaxy Unpacked. We still get a regular Galaxy Watch 7 alongside the Apple Watch Ultra competitor.
The Galaxy Watch 7 is not a complete redesign but Samsung has worked on some aesthetic changes to make it more appealing. It looks refreshing. On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is a circular dial watch in the body of a square watch.
I got to spend some time with the two devices, and here’s what you need to know.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is essentially the same size as its predecessor at 40mm and 44mm dial size, with two buttons on the right size and 20mm connectors for watch bands. In my brief time with the device, I didn’t feel much different from the Watch 6. However, there’s a bigger and heftier-looking Ultra variant with a 47mm dial with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.
Samsung is using an orange and blue color scheme on its wearables this year. The Galaxy Buds signify left and right for those colors, while the watches have orange and blue dots below the lugs.
