The entry-level Galaxy Watch 7 and the top-tier Galaxy Watch Ultra models for 2024. Specifically, the Ultra variant is a competitor to Apple’s Apple Watch Ultra, down to the moniker.
Galaxy Watch 7
Although there are updates such as health functions and sleep functions (to help detect sleep apnea syndrome), there are no visible changes and the design remains the same. However, what you can’t see is that the processor has been upgraded to the Exynos W1000 3nm, which is the first to be installed in a Samsung wearable device (the same as the Ultra).
Samsung’s Bio Active Sensor provides more accurate information on your body’s condition. This allows the sleep apnea syndrome detection function to be used in the United States (approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration). It is also the first watch to feature an AGEs index that can track advanced glycation end products (AGEs) from the wrist.
The new UI includes a double pinch gesture , which is useful for controlling your phone or watch even when your hands are full. A comparable feature is also present in the Apple Watch.
With the addition of support from AI functions, this update is focused on health.
Galaxy Watch Ultra
The Apple Watch Ultra is its competition, as the name would imply. Titanium makes up the 47mm face, which is the highest model. At 590mAh, the battery is likewise excellent—it is marginally superior to the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
The round frame is a distinctive design feature. The square type with large rounded corners is highly designed. Samsung calls this a ” cushion design ,” and it’s not only good looking but also highly protective.
As a high-end model, it is also tough, and can be used in a wide range of situations and activities from 500m below sea level to 9,000m above sea level. It is waterproof up to 10ATM.
The Ultra comes with a Quick Button , which users can assign to any function, such as starting a workout or using an emergency siren.
In addition, there is an automatic night mode that makes it easy to see the dial even in dark places.
