Samsung recently announced the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7. While there are clear differences between the watches, there’s a lot that’s similar, too.
The all-new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is now available. Samsung’s advanced smartwatch bears a striking resemblance to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and shares many features with the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. But despite their similarities, these two Samsung wearables have a few differences. This article compares the Galaxy Watch Ultra with the Galaxy Watch 7 to help you make an informed decision about which one to purchase.Galaxy Watch Ultra vs. Galaxy Watch 7: specsGalaxy Watch Ultra vs. Galaxy Watch 7: design and durability
The 47mm Galaxy Watch Ultra has a rounded, square shape and is designed for outdoor use and extreme sports enthusiasts. It is a large and rugged watch with a durable titanium body available in three colors: Titanium Silver, Titanium Gray, and Titanium White. The Galaxy Watch Ultra has a sapphire crystal covered screen that is a Super AMOLED, Full Color Always On Display. It is MIL-STD-810G certified and is expected to survive in water up to 10ATM, equivalent to being submerged 100 meters underwater for a limited time.
The Galaxy Watch 7 comes in 44mm and 40mm case sizes. It boasts a sapphire crystal Super AMOLED Full Color Always On Display, similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The watch has a silver frame and is waterproof up to 50 meters. You can buy the 44mm version in green and silver, while the 40mm model is available in green and cream.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7 both have two physical buttons for navigation. In addition, the Galaxy Watch Ultra features a Quick Button that you can customize to perform various functions, such as accessing workouts or specific apps. It’s worth noting that, unlike previous Galaxy watches, neither of these models features a rotating bezel. You’ll need to get the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for that feature.
Finally, the Galaxy Watch Ultra comes in the choice of two bands in different colors. The Marine band comes in orange, dark gray, white, and green, while the Trail band comes in dark gray and White Sand. It ships only with medium/large bands.
With the Galaxy Watch 7, you have more options. You can select a watch with a small/medium or a medium/large band. There are three band types available too: Fabric (blue, white, green), Sports (silver, dark gray, green), and Athleisure (silver, cream, pink, sky blue, green).
