@@ShaneSymonds I know that I have the Samsung shop actually shop Samsung app on you get a free band also besides the one you pick so can't wait I also ordered the buds pro 3 and I got a great deal I'm only paying $115 and my wife she's paying only $100 because she's trading in her Galaxy buds pro 2 I'm trading in my Galaxy buds live the ones that look like beans anyway take care 😎👍
Yeah when I pre-ordered I didn't realize there was an extra free band coming with it by the time I ordered it included the gray Trail Loop which is fine I would have took the other one that has the rubber with the two holes but it is what it is cuz I wanted the orange Trail Loop so it gave me those are gray and orange Trail Loop I'm really looking forward to it though
i think im getting two of the same bands lol, I would've chose the marine if I knew they were giving away the trail band which is the one I chose to come with the watch
@@AD-xn7pt that's the same thing that happened with me I chose the orange Trail band and they're sending me a green one or whatever it is the other color gray also it's all good though
I agree the Silver one would be the best option . Looks more premium plus it would look better with different bands as it doesn't have much orange color except on the crown. The orange band and excess orange color details make it look cheap !
Agreed pre ordered the silver. White looks great but I question how that looks after it gets dirty from everyday wear and I don't like the orange markings on this one. Silver fits with everything especially with some different bands
Was considering the ring but I don't really see how it would add any value other than sleep tracking. thinking about it some more. Edit. Gonna skip the 💍
Yeah the ring is cool and all and it's something new from samsung but the watch does it all so the ring will be a pass for me. Plus I don't wear a ring to bed only a watch because I like waking up and seeing how long I've slept for
I watch a lot of tech videos, yet I’ve never heard of you or seen any of your vids until you showed up in my feed. This is the 4th straight video of yours I’ve watched. Great channel, glad I found you. Subscribed. 😊
Awesome looking watch. Thanks for your professional review. So many channels start off with these crazy rants and then start bashing the watch. I like the classic round clock face with the squared off back. Nice to have bigger battery and extra button for a quick click open. This watch looks so rugged , built like a tank. So Awesome.
To me, it’s a missed opportunity that the crown does not rotate for scrolling. That digital rotation navigation is meh especially when you have sweaty hands or something
I'm probably in a niche portion that prefer no rotating bezel due to my job. Dirty grime and sand /fish and jelly slime or blood/saltwater/Sunscreen/ sweat all make the watch 6 classic besel to gunk up and needs cleaned every day of field work. Im required to have a watch so I got the ultra for that reason mainly.
This design has grew on some people including me that silver one is beautiful all them look good !!!! If I didn’t just get my ultra 2 back in march I’d be all over this
Can't wait to use the LTE feature. Gonna be nice to step out without the phone if I want to. It'll be worth the $10 Verizon will charge for that service.
I preordered the gray and I can’t wait! Grey and orange is one of my favorite color combos. I had a Gear Sport with the rotating bezel and a Watch 4 without and I LOVE the rotating bezel and I miss it. It sets Samsung apart from other smartwatch makers. I think Samsung missed the boat here by not putting capacitive touch in the bezel so you don’t have to swipe the screen but can swipe the actual bezel instead even if it doesn’t rotate.
Mine came within 3 days of pre-ordering on the day of the launch and I'm obsessed with it. For some reason I love big bulky watches and not anything that looks mediocre and small but this is really the ultimate smart watch and definately beats the apple watch ultra.
Apple:Oh, so you decided to copy me samsung Samsung:look apple I have been using the word "ultra" for the past 4 years Apple:I've guess you have a point
Design, material, color, quick button, and band isn’t ripped off at all? Why didn’t they have an ultra watch before? I thought Apple is always 10 years late. Galaxy watches are so laggy anyways
I have liked the design choice since I saw some leaks. The improvements to the hardware and build are, in my opinion, worth it. Contrary to others' opinions, I think it looks nice and, as you mentioned, very comfortable. I am eagerly waiting for mine.
I love this color. The only catch is the orange accents when using different band colors but I am sure some company will create something pure black to cover the bezel as we have had in the past so I can always just go all black on the bezels. Not a big deal but it would have been nice to have some sort of modular design to replace that one with different colors.
Wait, you are telling me that you get 3 DAYS with everything on? im used to 1 1/2 days with the classic. How is the battery life treating you now? Great Review and THANK YOU for telling us exactly how it is!
I'm loving the smartwatch design style of the Samsung Galaxy Watch ULTRA ⌚️ which is an upgradable version to the old Galaxy Gear Sports Watch, I've already ordered one in Titanium Gray just like yours on the video. But I won't use it just until I get the Galaxy S25 ULTRA in 2025
Ordered mine today 😊 my 1st smart watch. Gone for the white ti finish... could you do a 2nd video on apps (not bio stuff) as I'm hoping it can do a lot of things like messages(whatsapp) contact less playing etc
Something I've only seen on one video mentioned so far is the quicker charging time on Galaxy Ultra. I have the 5 Pro that I'll be trading in for the Ultra and charging time on the Ultra is supposed to be about twice as fast as the 5 Pro(45 vs 90 minutes) even though they have the same capacity battery. Would be nice to see more videos like this talk about this to confirm.
Honestly wouldn't trust the new system for bands on the watch, the old one feels more secure (I'm assuming this one works in a similar way to the fitbit versa bands), nothing wrong with the old reliable system.
Hi Shane, thank you so much for this first look and impressions. If possible, would you mind going over the blood pressure monitoring? And is it available in the US?
Just ordered one and also bought a Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Designed for Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 47mm Case with Band. They only have black but at least it will protect the watch.
Hi, great unboxing and a really clear video. I'm thinking of pre-ordering this in the UK. Can't you telle if it is possible to assign the shortcut button to activate the memo/voice recorder. For my work this would be invaluable. Many thanks in advance.
Hey! Good review. Sorry for the inconvenience, but maybe is there any information about how many years of system updates is going to have galaxy watch ultra? I couldn't find any info and I'm very interested in this watch.
First time watching good video. I do have a question when you raise your wrist what’s the lag like and when moving through tiles is there ultimate lag like the watch 6 classic? Because on camera it looks like I saw lag, but sometimes that happens on camera but not in real time.
Didn't like it at first. It kept growing on me, then I started to see Titanium Silver start getting pushed into late August, or not available at all at some retailers anymore. Pulled the trigger through Best Buy and got the color + the free trail band I wanted. Really hoping it looks alright on my smaller-sized wrist.
I'm resisting ordering this right now because I just bought the ring and have the Watch 6 Classic. I too did not like the design at first and it still looks a little ugly to me. But I'm curious to see how the new bioactive sensor performs. I'm hoping that they make a Watch8 Classic next year. I can't stand the boxy look. I will gladly sacrifice battery life if I could keep the stylish rotating bezel. I have never received as many compliments as I did on a smartwatch as my watch 6 classic. Maybe the watch 6 classic sensor plus the new ring sensors will suffice for accuracy until next year. At least their keeping the 6 classic in their current lineup so they are aware that there's a market for the rotating bezel.
Can you pls make a review on the watch 7 also. I understand that's there not much diff or upgrade, but i really hope to see a proper review or comparison on the watch 6, 6 classic, and the 7. Ty and appreciate
Thank you, Shane. Can I ask about how the software feels to you so far in terms of smoothness/ stuttering and the accuracy of the heart rate monitor during exercise? These 2 things have always pushed me away from Samsung watches towards the Apple watch. I'd love to come back. Thx.
Very smooth software. Can't confirm heart rate accuracy myself yet but Samsung has apparently done a complete redesign of the LED sensors and claim the accuracy is much improved
Thanks for the review... Did you test the heart rate monitoring during your workout? I find most smartwatches start losing the reading, or comes in and out during workouts
I pre ordered the gray. Dont even have it yet and already wish i got the silver lol. Itll be good though. Black band will make it seem neutral enough for me. Even with the orange markings
Im curious, does the watch sit flat? I have a samsung dual wireless charger that i use for my buds pro 2 and 6 classic and would like to know if it will work on it. Great review, very informative.
I wonder what is the real battery life with AOD off and a training or two (like cycling) 2-3 times a week. Need another review in 3-4 months) "First impressions" are always great. Only time will show real performance rating.
Hello Shane 👋 Your reviews makes it very much easier for one to know what they’re buying, and i must commend you for that. 🙌 i Want to buy the galaxy watch 7, Kindly help me make a review on it pleasssse. I’ll be looking forward to it 🙏
Watching your heart rate on the watch, your heart rate didnt change at all. I know you stated you had it set to continuous, but with all that hand movement, it stayed the same.

Finally an Ultra watch that doesn't look like a phone on your wrist.
My Galaxy Ultra watch arrives today.
The design grew on me. Bought the silver/black yesterday. Looks premium.
Silver looks much nicer on this watch, for sure.

Thank you for your honest review, there are a lot of haters out there giving bad reviews based on their bias.
To me, it’s a missed opportunity that the crown does not rotate for scrolling. That digital rotation navigation is meh especially when you have sweaty hands or something
Won't be surprised if it's intentionally left out for next version
It was removed for good reasons. Ingress protection, thickness of the watch, etc.
I'm probably in a niche portion that prefer no rotating bezel due to my job. Dirty grime and sand
