We weren't given a battery life estimnate for the Galaxy Watch 7. Both sizes are likely to deliver similar results to their predecessors, however, as they run off the same 425mAh and 300mAh cells. To give you some idea of how that translates to real-world use, Samsung claimed the 44mm Galaxy Watch 6 was able to last up to 30 hours with the always-on display engaged.

On the Ultra? This is the first year for the Ultra.

@@expert_reviews Especially the Ultra. No D-buckle bands and no hybrid leather bands.

I will admit that getting the Ultra's Marine Band on was rather fiddly at first! The trend seems to be to move away from leather at the moment - particularly on sports-focused pieces.

@@expert_reviews There's always aftermarket as a dress band would go good with the Ultra watch for casual use.

Got one on preorder?

That would be my pick also 🔶

What has made you decide to upgrade?

Out of the three, silver is arguably the most versatile colour.

I haven't checked but the Ultra runs Google's latest Wear OS 5 operating system and Samsung's previous Wear OS watches all support Google Wallet (and Samsung Wallet) for NFC payments.

Yes Samsung pay

Which colour combo is your favourite?

@@expert_reviews I'll take the black and put it in a case

They're pitched at different use cases. The S21 is older but (was) more high end. The A55 is newer but aimed at the mid-range. The S21 FE is a couple of years older but still outperforms the mid-range A55 in a number of areas. The S21 FE has a zoom lens, wireless charging, reverse charging, a better IP rating and better video recording specs. The A55 has a higher resolution main camera, a macro camera, a slightly larger (and brighter display), improved battery life and microSD storage expansion.

We'll certainly be comparing the two when it comes to writing up our Z Flip review!

What important things would you like it to be able to do?

Not tempted by the Ultra to complete the set?

@@expert_reviews the ultra watch looks ugly to me. plus not worth 600us to me. All I need now to complete my Samsung ecosystem is a galaxybook. 😂

A proper Prime Day Samsung haul! Get any good discounts?

Hope you enjoy it!

It does have a blood pressure sensor but I believe you also need a Samsung smartphone to access it (the readings are within Samsung's Health Monitor App)

White and White

Yeah even though i got the grey, i really like the white for sure ​@ramratansinghi8661

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean?

It's a classic _design_ of the 1900's. I don't think It's meant to be form over function. It does however allow for a bigger battery 👍🏾

Samsung's reasoning during the press briefing was that the squared-off design adds protection to the display, presumably by adding a little extra distance between the glass and things that may knock into it. We think it gives it a slightly more rugged appearance than Samsung's standard, circular Galaxy Watches. The circular face also allows it to use more classically-styled circular watch faces. Of course, design preference is totally a matter of personal taste.

@@expert_reviews That is like adding a front grill to an electric vehicle in order to maintain a combustion engine design aesthetic… What’s next, a digital sundial face with simulated shadowing… Makes Samsung seem less futuristic and more anachronistic in their designs and development… 🤔

Which brands do you think offer the best design aesthetics at the moment?

It's on the Samsung website for us: www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-a/galaxy-a55-5g-awesome-iceblue-128gb-sm-a556blbaeub/buy/

@@expert_reviews Is that the UK website by its web line? As I live in the U.S., the U.S. Samsung website has no mention of the A55. I would love it there as I can get a $200 trade in on my old IPhone XR on my purchase.

We're UK-based so we tend to focus on UK release dates and prices etc. While Samsung in the UK stocks the A55 it doesn't look like Samsung launched this model in the US market.

@@expert_reviews I just see the A55 on the US Amazon website . $349 to $370 new. Can be used in Latin American and US carriers.

The head of the fan can be angled to point up and down - additionally you can lift the fan off off the pedestal to use it in a "table top mode - but you cannot adjust the height of the pedestal itself.

Using an accelerometer, PPG sensor and skin temperature sensor, the Galaxy Ring can monitor your heart rate, track your workouts and sleep, and even predict your menstrual cycle in conjunction with Samsung’s Wearable app. Unsurprisingly, you’ll only get the most out of the Galaxy Ring by pairing it with another AI-enabled Galaxy device. Doing so unlocks support for Samsung Gestures, which lets you take photos or dismiss an alarm on your phone with a double pinch of your Ring-wearing finger and thumb. You can also locate your Ring using Find My Ring on Samsung Find.

​@@expert_reviews I didn't understand a word

We'll be getting into our comparisons shortly!

We haven't personally stress tested it but it's rated to 100m/10ATM of water pressure and features plenty of water-based activity tracking modes, so it's certainly at least designed to handle pool swimming. With regards to the IP68 rating: 6=Dust-tight, 8=Immersion, 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) or more depth. The "or more" is what's relevant here. The IP rating system only goes as high as IP69.

​@@expert_reviews that's true, but IP68 limits water resistant to 30 minutes of exposure to water, what happens if I swim an 2 hours? hope you will test it somehow, thanks for the review and answer.

IP68 only tests up to 30 minutes, so a IP68 rating means that it was tested for that period of time and successfully passed. It doesn't mean that it only lasted 30 minutes during the test. As I mentioned, the only rating higher than IP68 is IP69 and even IP69 doesn't specify a maximum immersion time.

@@expert_reviews thanks for the extra clarification ( for me :-) )

$650

£599 in the UK.

If you're with nhs or emergency services ( blue light card)... it's £509... plus any trade in for an old smart watch at £100. I got mine for £409. If you know someone with a blue light card... (offer until 23rd July).. get them to purchase it for you 😆. Every penny counts 👊

That's a decent trade-in offer! What would you say is your most used feature on the Watch 6?

@expert_reviews probably stress level, heart rate monitor. do keep track of the steps alot also.
