This is a beautiful watch. It has a very comfortable wrist band that stays in place. The watch has some weight to it that I don't notice when on my wrist, and it is easy to forget I am wearing it. I especially like the features that track my daily walking, looks for sleep apnea, tracks my heart rate and provides ECG testing.
I have owned a few Samsung smart watches but I will say this so far is the best that Samsung made. It has the brightest screen, the most feather compare what I have before. It's been a big challenge for me to learn all the functions but that's the fun part of playing with my new watch.
I have, for the most part, enjoyed the 7 Ultra. The screen is bright, the UI is very responsive via touch or button, and the activity monitoring is great. What isn't great is the battery life. This has a much newer chipset that is more power efficient (supposedly) but in the end the truth is the battery life is significantly worse. I don't know that I could get through even a 2nd day on a charge with light to moderate usage. The 5 Pro, with AoD on, could last *almost* 3 full days if I don't wear it to bed and with daily average usage would end with between 75 and 80 percent left of the battery. The 7 Ultra, on the other hand, averages between 40 and 60 percent by the end of the day. While I do typically charge my watch nightly, the ability to NOT have to do that is far superior of a feature. I'll keep the watch, for sure, but dang if the battery life isn't even close to being on par with a 2+ year old watch. A little disappointing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Response from Samsung USBy Social Commerce, October 24, 2024
We appreciate you sharing your experience with the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra, Jeremy. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the bright display, responsive Ul, and reliable activity monitoring. However, we hate to see that the battery life isn't meeting your expectations, especially in comparison to the 5 Pro. While the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra does feature a more advanced chipset, battery performance can vary based on several factors like screen brightness, notifications, and apps running in the background. There are several reasons why your Galaxy Watch may be experiencing battery drain or have decreased battery life. We recommend checking out the link attached which should help optimize your watch's battery life. If this continues to be your experience, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003232/ smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
I love the watch, I am really happy that the the edge and ridge of the design keeps the glass from cracking as easily as the 6. I don't like the manly looking watch bands. There should be a slimmer more feminine version of the band for ladies not just colors. Other than that it works great, keeps my steps, monitors my sleep, and reminds me to take my medication daily. I would recomend this watch to friend and family.

The Best watch I have ever owned hands down

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch has made my life so much easier. I love the idea waking up and veiw my energy score to help determine how I should proceed for the rest of the day. Also my medication reminders help keep on top and not miss any doses. When I'm out and about I have had people what watch I'm wearing. I gladly tell them them it's my Samsung Galaxy Ultra and where to go to get one. Thank you Samsung!
Only had it for 2 weeks and I'm getting about 3 and a half days on a fully charge. Nothing negative to say this far. The best Samsung watch to me in my opinion.
