This is the new Galaxy Watch Ultra. It's Ultra in more than a few ways, including the price, but does it justify the price tag? It's pretty impressive.

Yep from $649.00 got it to $238 traded my classic 6 and all discount for pre-order
I just ordered it also,but I'm kinda regretting it because I think I'm going to miss the rotating bezel!!

I would like to see a comparison between the Watch Ultra and the Watch 5 Pro.
As some one who upgrades his phone every year, I found no reason to upgrade my 5 Pro to the 7 Ultra. I actually had the original Galaxy watch through 4 generations until the 5 pro came out. I still think the 5 pro looks the best
Samsung watch since version 3 are the same. They increase the no. every year. I have 6. 2 issues battery and slow like a turtle. Rest is fine.
Digital bezel WTF
I'm wondering if there's a pattern here. Cuz remember the Galaxy watch 4 came out and that had a classic version the Galaxy watch 5 hidden than the 6 come out and brought back the classic version but then the seven comes and its digital. Maybe the Galaxy watch 8 or the rotating vessel but if so I'm really not sure why they skip over it. Seems very backwards, considering that's what people know it for.
@gabrielreisinger8047 They already confirmed it in 2022
The classic and ultra (formerly pro) launch every 2 years. The base model is the only one to launch every year.
WTF indeed!
Yeah that was make or break for me
Seems really stupid
SUCH A WELL MADE VIDEO this one is going to be a banger
You just in love with him
@@jinkazrleave her alone
I love the look, but would definitely miss the rotating bezel. I have loved the rotating bezel since its inception. I hope they bring it back.
They will, but only next year
They did bring it back, it's on the 6 classic. The ultra isn't a replacement for it!
the reason why there isnt a rotating bezel is because its highly water proof up to depts of 100m, the bezel would make a way for water to enter!
Totally, they understand their user base perfectly as most of us are olympic divers @@xanderflynn3434
Same size battery as the watch 5 pro and it didn't need the squircle. I'm not totally against it, but I do think the watch 5 pro looks much better and was hoping for the next Gen of that.
Or even a square without the circle
Praying for a Watch 7 Pro
Exactly 💯
@@White_Rose_Al And what would that price be. After the 6 came out, I bought the 5 Pro. Now I'm getting a 400$ of the 650$ watch for the trade in. If an Ultra came out, I would expect it to be 799 or more easily making for a upgrade at 400 or more. Frankly, the Ultra gets the same battery (590) at the Pro.
@christopherfisher1694 where is that deal, when I add the 5 Pro as trade on, it's only £149
For me, the Ultra watch is a nice update and with the usual trade-in (for previous gen watch) and discounts you can already get 200 off here in the UK
What about if you don't have previous watch.
@@JohnnyZenith they offer tradeins for previous generations and also other brands
But is it worth that compared to the Watch 5 Pro
That's right, samsung makes it very affordable to trade in, they pay more than any other company for your previous devices. I got a $400 off for pre-ordering with a trade in with my galaxy 6 classic.
They really went to the lengths to build a pretty unique watch face. The proceeded to rip of all the Apple Bands. What the heck Samsung, all you had to do was not copy the bands
It's just the bands who cares... just focus on what you want. This just shows having only 2 companies to compare makes us such sheeps.
Not only that but they replicated "double tap" with their "knock knock" as well as the 85db siren, action button, precision start etc etc etc they basically copied the Apple Watch Ultra and didn't hold back.
Don't give a f about the bands I will switch em lol
Double sided bands.....since when apple offers them?
@@Chris._P._Bacon are you saying that the orange accents and the orange silicone band doesn’t look almost identical to the Apple Watch Ultra Ocean band?
Still using an Galaxy watch 4 classic, and I love it , because it looks just like an classic watch, Idon't like the design of this one, I want something I can have with an elegant outfit
Samsung: You get both samsung and 🍎 in one watch😂😂
They had that type of band attachment system with earlier Wear devices, I eventually bought an adapter to the standard 22mm lugs for more bands.
The problem with no bezel for me has been for swimming. I swim a lot, without a bezel good luck trying to use this watch in a pool. I stopped using my 5 pro in the pool for this reason.
Absolutely agree! Went from the watch 3 to the 5 pro and didn't think sweat and water would be that much of a problem till you're forced to a touch sensitive screen and bezel. 😂
Same here, i use my classic 4 when going to the pool to swim laps, for that one reason.
Had no issues with my active watch 2.
But the tradeoff is a watch which is much more durable, and can be used in more extreme conditions
Just ordered this with trading in my galaxy watch 4 classic.. im gonna miss turning the dial to put the volume up and down, it was cool to do in the gym..hopefully other features of the watch make up for it
For all the people saying the watch is an apple knockoff, look at the Samsung Gear Sport. It is a redesign of that watch.
THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THIS!
So you’re saying they didn’t copy anything from the apple watch ultra? Is this an original design huh? 👀
even if it is it’s still a knockoff of the Ultra it’s very disappointing samsung has essentially given up
@@ConsistentlyAwkward Like you've given up on using punctuation? lol A smartwatch is a smartwatch, just as earbuds are earbuds -- there's little variation or true originality possible in the mainstream tech market. However, I feel there's enough of a difference between Apple's and Samsung's Ultra watches to be able to tell them apart at a glance.
I highly doubt that they decided to look at an old watch they had 6 years later and say "I want to with that design", it's definitely inspired by the Apple watch Ultra. The bands look identical in terms of purpose (alpine, dive and fitness), the action button which they've never had before and apparently the new watch face that I saw on the thumbnail of other videos looks identical to my default AWU that I have. And even the name is copied. "Ultra"? After years of using "Pro"?
Before you come for my head, I have an GW6C and ordered the GW7U, so don't wanna hear it.
Love the Panerai sandwich dial look and size. Need some brown leather strap options for it.
I know you will come up with a comparison video, but I would like to know how's the performance and response? Is it a little laggy just like Galaxy Watch 6 classic ?
Have you tried reducing/ turning off animations? That would help with lag
@@ramjirao7645 how?
@@ramjirao7645it helps but doesn't eliminate it. For the price. They should perform as good as a phone.
I guess it's better, but minimally lagging not as smooth as we hope. I noticed that in one review...
I have had a Samsung credit account for years I have Samsung washer dryer refrigerator and stove on top of that I have the s24 ultra, Galaxy watch 2 Pro, Galaxy watch 6 classic.. in order to avoid beating up my Galaxy watch on a daily basis I purchased the amazfit T-Rex 2. This opened my eyes massively to the fact that the biggest technology companies in the world are actually holding back Tech in order to drive profit year over year .. my T-rex 2 lasts for over 20 days on a single charge with the always on display.. I still have the majority of Sports sensors I need well obviously not having the latest.. my point is my T-rex 2 is actually a watch that you can wear for 20 days in a row without charging.. this enables you to actually use the Sleep functions .. the fact that Samsung and Apple are claiming that 60 to 100 hours is good for a battery on a smartwatch is an absolute joke! I do like the look of the new Samsung Galaxy watch 7 Ultra but the only way I have to push back against Samsung is not buying their products until they actually innovate! A 650.00 watch should at the very least be able to stay charged for a week at the very least! What are the purposes of sleep functions on a watch that will be on the charger every couple days it's time consumers stop being Fanboys of a brand and actually push back.. if Samsung suddenly stopped selling watches they would do everything possible to get those sales back! At this point they will trickle out tiny updates each model year because they know people will simply buy their new products!
If they give technology all at once, they will have no products to sell in the following years 🙃
I hear you about battery life... Except that it takes minutes to recharge to 100%. It's not a big challenge to figure it out. I mean... Really.
I am long time Amazfit user that switched to Galaxy 5 Pro. While Amazfit has great battery life their OS is the issue at the moment. I don't miss anything about my Amazfit but the battery life, but charging it while showering does the trick to have never missed the sleep tracking on my Galaxy. Maybe Amazfit OS will improve more in 4 generations and then I will change back.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is basically a comeback of the Samsung Gear Sport. Although the Gear sport is way better because the bezel rotates. If that watch was still supported by Samsung it would be a good buy. Design wise not so much software wise 🙂
There's a watch 7 and a ultra
I still got my gear
0:11 I guess, not exactly "finally". Galaxy Watch Ultra is a continuation of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Which also had a titanium case and sapphire glass and were intended to sport and outdoor activities.
Why not rotating Basel?
Because mechanical bezels breaks!
meh... for me, I've had several Samsung watches with rotating bezels (including what I'm using now, the Watch 4 Classic) and I never use it... well, when I've tried using it, it tends to be "too" sensitive... I can never get one click to go to the first prompt, always end up going 2 or 3 prompts too far... and I would end up just swiping on the screen instead
😂😂😂😂😂 yet I have never had a single issue with them so stop making up dumb excuses@@pontifexinstitute
A mechanical rotating bezel would have made it exceedingly bulky
@@pontifexinstitute Nah not really. Have an S3 frontier and the bezel been through all sorts of mess as i use it in the military. Still works fine. The 6 classic is holding up just as well.
Non rotating bezel, what's the point, should have taken the bezel off and given more screen space
Can you also test it AOD off but in normal mode? I think a lot of people use it this way, too. Great review and thanks!
I was prepared to purchase this, had it in my cart and all, until I found out it lacked the rotating bezel. Maybe some users have experienced issues on other Samsung watches with rotating bezels. I've had every Samsung Galaxy Watch going back to the Gear S3 Frontier and have had _no_ problems with the rotating bezel. I've taken my rotating bezels everywhere, trout fishing in rugged mountain terrain and surf fishing on the New Jersey Shore. Never a problem.
Most definitely, I will be getting this! Was waiting for your video!
Thanks for watching! I'm just as excited to make some comparison videos
@@MikeOBrienMedia subscribed for this reason :)
Me too for both. Getting the watch and subscribed @@jasonandrew412
On the subject of bands, there ARE 3rd party bands on Amazon, also an adaptor to accommodate the old bands you may have,
Would the energy score change during the day, like Garmin's body battery? Or is it a static score?
Got one on order. Traded a 6 classic. $258 with an extra band. Most interested in GPS improvement for mountain biking
Does this watch track and show heart rate variability (HRV)? It really should if it's going to compete with the best of the best for health metrics.
It should. Running One UI 6 beta on watch 6 Classic and HRV is supported.
Would expect the 7 series to ship with One UI6.
It runs very well on the 6 Classic. Battery life is way better with second round of beta release.
Yes
Yes
I placed the order this morning for the Titanium Gray but why does it look soooo dark on your video (vs what is shown at Samsung's website)?? I kinda regret it, and would rather have the Titanium Silver 🤔
Everyone gets that trade in credit regardless if you click the link or not
I'm just gonna wait for next year. When they bring back, the physical rotating bezel makes all the difference
If they could give me 3 days of battery I may give it a chance. There's no point in having sleep tracking if I'm having to charge the thing midday just to make it through to the next night or workout. It's a real pain in the ass when the battery life is only one day
That’s what the ring is for bud, get both.
I have the 4 classic and I agree. Also, the processor is too weak and it lags way too much. This one supposedly has the power to run smoothly.
Sounds like you need a Garmin.....
I have the Galaxy watch from 2021 and it has one day charge…..here we are 3 years later and it’s the same?
Same with phones. They just think you are willing to charge it every day.@@LK-bz9sk
Me and my husband have the watch 4 classic and love it but it kinda lost it luster after 3 years we just ordered the ultra and we can't wait for them to get here plus 300 for a trade-in in my opinion is a really good deal
Race Mode is nothing new or unique. I have it on my GW 4 for several weeks.
Cool Feature for sure
apple watch have it for years...
So glad they let you get the early samples! You're reviews are always honest and upfront.
Everyone's complaining about it not having a bezel, but I'm glad it doesn't. I have a Watch 4 Classic, and the bezel feels horrible after three years. At least without a bezel, it should have even better waterproofing.
Give it a good clean with isopropyl alcohol and you'll have your smooth bezel back
Indeed, I share the same sentiment regarding the design of the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic's bezel. It could certainly benefit from some improvements.
@cybermarco already tried that, I think it's just the parts being worn out and from light water on it.
TBF people renew wearables about every 2-3 years. But it sure is annoying for the bezel to start giving problems this early. I assume it can be replaced, but also imagine it's overpriced. However, I still think the rotating bezel is better to interact with than just a digital screen. It's the whole physical Vs capacitive buttons in cars and other places. Physical is better nearly every time for interacting with the device. This is also why the rotating crown on the apple watch is popular.
@GabrielRM I mean, I have had my watch 4 classic since 2021 when it first came out, so at least this one should be a bigger leap in speed and battery life.
I actually like the design. Looks really good especially the silver / black. Wish it was larger tho
I'll keep my classic 6 for the next year.
Wise choice. The watch 6 classic is a beaut. This on the other hand is absolutely disgusting looking.
Thanks for showing the other available bands, I don't think many other videos did. What are the velcro ones in front of your preferred band, are those just for the regular Watch 7?
Didn't the watch 5 pro have a titanium case?
It had. I have one. and sapphire glass.
Yep
Isn't this the successor of the 5 pro? Think they are just changing the naming from pro to ultra.
They are released every 2 years instead of the standard watch. Similar to the classic models also being every 2 years alternating with the pro/ultra.
Thanks for the video. Does this new Galaxy Watch has the body composition feature like the previous Galaxy watches?
I just preordered and with my 5pro trade in paid $220 US. So not bad at all for me.
Same
Lucky you. I would only get €176 (about $190) for my GW6 classic 46mm bt + lte.
Thanks Joe,just saw your comments and immediately I went to the Shop Samsung App and I trade-in my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and preordered my Galaxy Watch Ultra and paid $249.99 plus tax.
Honest question. What's making you upgrade? I have a 5 pro and I'm really struggling to make the purchase. I just don't see enough of a difference to justify the like 250 to upgrade from the 5 pro
@@CamdenCorner good point
I wanna see the white ultra watch with orange band for once
if possible in the next ultra video
mixing and matching the bands with all ultra colours
Curious to compare to something like the garmin fenix line
Two completely different watches. Garmin thumps samsung in fitness and health features as well as battery life and Samsung is better in general smartwatch features
@@mavericksupersonic3362 I have the fenix 7 X and wanted to know if the GPS on that watch will be the same on the Samsung Ultra watch now that it has dual band GPS.
Problem with using it for pool swims, with water lock on, you can’t scroll through the available information without turning off water lock, the rotating bezel allows you to scroll without going that one step. Correct me if i am wrong.
Pretty ironic that the "Ultra" version starts off with a compromised physical feature, the rotating bezel. I'll hold off until they add one to it.
I had Galaxy Watch, Watch Active 2, Watch 4, Watch 5 Pro and now Watch 6 classic. I love their smartwatch features but the best feature of Watch Ultra is the price - it is so high that it made me upgrade to the big boys level and ordered Epix Pro gen 2. Thank you Samsung
Every other watch maker on Earth: Lets make as seamless a bezel as possible
Samsung: BIGGER BEZELS, 3 different depths, 2 different shapes.
They could have made a larger circle and seamless but had to copy Apple's square design, but forgot to square the screen, ugly.
The bezel makes sense if you are running or any other activity its easier to use the digital bezel because you will know where to place your finger without looking.
Are you able to flip the side of the buttons for a left/right handed person? The watch6 had that option
That finger black nail... damnnn
I really enjoy my Samsung Galaxy watches. I ordered this one today along with the new Fold 6. I think the Ultra looks really cool, and as a person who suffers from sleep apnea I'm excited to use some of the new features.
I honestly don't think it looks like the apple watch
Galaxy gear, Galaxy gear S3 look em up and Rolex/Panerai Cushion Case
Well, I'd say it totally looks like an apple watch. The squareness, the colours, no rotating bezel. It's going to be a flop like the 5 was. I'd bet they go back to the classic and rotating bezel for the 8. Till then I'll use my classic 4 lol
@@lits5984 Google Samsung gear sport bro then come back saying it looks like an apple watch
@@Mgh101590 The Samsung gear sport has a physical bezel which makes it look rounder. The ultra looks like an Apple watch bro. Google Apple ultra then come back saying it doesn’t look alike.
@@lits5984 a physical bezel doesn't change the shape or form factor Apple has an obvious completely different screen Samsung kept the round screen body wise the galaxy has a square body while apple has a rectangle design I'm not here to try roasting through YT comments just stating the facts the design used by Sam for the ultra already existed with the gear sport. I'm not going to say Samsung was first in the smartwatch game so Apple copied them it would be childish
You are the only person that talked about the non rotating bezel, thank you.
He definitely is not. People won't shut up about it
This new Galaxy watch ultra is probably the best advertisement for the watch 5 pro and 6 classic.
You're way off... lol
@@TheMadmax0609I don't think he is. What an abortion of a product this is. It's square. But they stuck a fake bezel on a round screen and put it on that square thing. They really just need to admit that apple was right in making rectangular displays and make theirs that way too. Circles are anachronistic
@@TheMadmax0609 I'm actually going to trade in my Watch 5 Pro for this lol... I would pick the 7 because I don't need LTE but I still want the 590mAh battery so.. $220 is not bad (before taxes).
@@TheMadmax0609 I'm actually going to trade in my 5 Pro for this. Don't really need the LTE but the regular 7s don't have 590mAh battery so I'll probably get this. With trade in and discounts should come up to $220 (before taxes).
the ultra is actually beautiful. if you get out of your own way maybe you could see it
Great video buddy. I think I'll stick with my galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm! Apart from the battery, its brilliant! 😊
what's the point of making a circular display with a physical protruding out bezel on a square watch if that bezel doesn't work as it should be
Bummer 🤮🤮🤦♂️
Protection? It's aimed at mountain climbers.. Not office workers
@whotshisface No company makes gadgets for mountain climbers as main customer, they make it “also” for mountain climbers
Because even if you gather Mountain ⛰️ climbers climbers into one place, they won't become 1% customers or even a small mountain
They will go bankrupt if they focus on mountains instead of masses 🤣🤣🤣
@@Manikanta.Rapolu Sorry, I thought you'd understand my point, please accept my apologies. The ultra is a far more rugged watch designed for sporty people, and made from more durable materials, with a protected, recessed screen, and minus a mechanical bezel, to limit damage to moving parts etc.
I hope you now understand the design choices better. 🤔😂😂😂
Third party bands for 7 Ultra already on Amazon. That didn't take long. 😅
One is a material velcro, my favorite band of all for sleeping and working out.
Highly adjustable on the fly.
It's about time Samsung was able to build a super premium smartwatch in the brand new Galaxy Watch Ultra!
I can't wait to test it side by side with the AW Ultra and Garmin Epix
Plastic and titanium is not ultra
@MikeOBrienMedia but at the same time, samsung tries to copy apple and places a crown, sqaure body, and the same orange strap, and may think that they made their watch the exact same as appple's apple watch ultra, and its way more expensive than the average galaxy watch!
@@MikeOBrienMedia don't get your hopes to high ... nothing to see ... AW is way ahead with diving capabilities and very good HR sensor ... Samsung has good phones ... but their watches are under even Huawei ...
@@pruteanu6 way bellow Huawei. The battery alone in Huawei is 2 weeks compared to a few days on Samsung. Disappointing.
Kind of see why they did this but not sure why I'd ditch my Epix for one. I've also heard a few reports it's a bit laggy, but might be pre production software.. still a slight concern.
Clowns removed the iconic bezel. What a goofy company. They find new ways to make it harder to root for them.
This isn't a replacement for the watch 6 classic, it was never going to have a rotating bezel!
Am i able to use all the features with a Pixel 8 pro? I don't see to many people bring this topic up.
Officially ECG and some other health stuff won't work, but you can force it
Jesus Christ it's impossible to find a non-biased review. These are all commercials.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thats a very very very bad design. They should have just rounded it up with a bigger size.
It's a good design they brought back from the gear sport a while back
It'll grow on you. It grew on me real quick. Hated it then now love it. Still will wait a couple more years to upgrade though
I LOVE it. So perhaps not.
I love it too!!! Lots of opinions out there buddy...
Love it ❤
Does this new watch do a better job of tracking running up and down stairs? That is what I have had issues with every watch I tries except the Fitbit..
So ugly watch, samsung tries copyright apple airpods and apple watch pro this year and its warstwa move for years
I mean apple has been copying for years and there has to be a competition when there's a sole ultra watch with your competition.
It's not ugly at all to me
Whats an apple watch pro?
It's not ugly at all
It's a beautiful watch
No mention of an esim? My current galaxy watch has that feature and I find it very useful.
Soooo ugly pls do a comparison between the regular galaxy watch 7 and watch 6 classic plssss
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good idea
In my opinion the 3rd button is not in a perfect place. If you wear gloves while working out the button could stop the workouts a lot of times. I am using watch 4 classic and the buttons sometime automatically presses during my workouts from my gloves. Planning to buy one, let's see how's is it going.
Design is is very ugly to me and battery life is joke, I have Garmin Epix 2 with 18 day of battery life and this watch is 2 years old now, when I buy him a have 20 to 21 days of battery and i meen as smart wach if you use navigation and topo maps it will last much less of course who wants really good watch with everything it's better to buy Garmin then this gimmicky Mickey Mouse funkcion.
Sucks to be you then cuz I think it looks amazing
@HearMeLearn every one have own opinion, it's sucks to be you if you only look designe 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Trade in Watch 5 pro, used points & e-voucher for both Watch 7 ultra(Orange, really like the new looks, refreshing) and buds 3 pro(Silver). Can't wait to test them with my S24 Ultra. Nice video 👍
copy of apple watch ultra... 😂
Why no rotating bezel? Did they not learn that most people love it. Also you can't use your old watch bands.
It's called a cushion case, I believe. A square body with a round center. It's been around for almost a hundred years.
Ordered mines this morning. I currently have the classic 6. Time to move on to the next
Just ordered mine. Got it for $249 after trade in and discounts. Orange is my favorite color so naturally I got the orange one. 😊
Ordered a White one. Super Excited to try when it lands.
And Yes, Battery life with all features on Something of a concern since they did not mention it.
The limited functionality of the buttons is just mind boggling + the lack of rotating bezel or crown... The fact that Samsung limits this to hold and double press, or, more crucially, that one of the options is not available on the back button for the previous watch models because Samsung Pay is not available in your country is just ridiculous. Artificial limiting of functions. Why can't they enable hold, double and tripple press functions on all of the buttons to do anything or launch any app, not just the couple that they have chosen they want you to use...
It's the galaxy watch 5 pro battery, it's hard to upgrade to this when I left the 5 pro for the 6 classic. Maybe if it had a larger battery than the 5 pro
@10:59 The treadmill workout on galaxy watches (watch 5 pro) sucks. i mean i usually do max inclined treadmill walk and for that i hold treadmill bar(so my hands are not moving front and back now) and watch detects no distance covered for that. they should fix it
Does it use the same charger as the 6? And will the new bands let you wireless charge?
Any idea if the fall detection works? On previous versions it is the pits.
No physical rotating bezel, for me... huge disappointment
I could get the regular watch 7, 44mm, for $105 if I trade in my watch 6 classic. What do you think?
Could you check the navigation feature when you get it? Apple watch ultra can do navigation without a phone, I want this to do the same. I ride motorcycles and don't want my phone strapped to the bike incase of an accident.
How’s the compatibility between the watch and the Galaxy S24 is it as good as Apple
No rotating bezel. Not sure .. have my classic with me ... not sure about getting....
Quick one as havent seen it stated anywhere. Does it take HRV?
Keep killing it Mike! Videos are always on point man.
Is the watch going to have same features as tge ring? Or will the ring have more health features?
Is this replacing the pro model?
So that means I have to wait until next year to get an updated Classic model?! 😢
Round display? Obviously approved.
Samsung galaxy watch looks so much like Apple Watch Ultra
No, it looks like an updated galaxy gear sport. Don't take my word for it, a simple search will prove it. A watch that was released long before the Apple watch.
Thanks for vid. Imho - bad design, digital bezel - ugh, don't like the strap attachment, because if I understand correctly it doesn't give me the possibility to change to a normal strap.
mike, if you can test the gps accuracy in open water swimming, that would be awesome. my galaxy watch 5 pro are terrible at this compared e.g. to garmin fenix 7. the dual gps might help, but who knows...
There is options for the quick button, one of them is Flashlight.
Also, this watch has the same battery as the 5 Pro. And since this Ultra connects to two satellite's, it's safe to say that doing this will consume more battery.
They have adapters for your old bands on Amazon
A rotating bezel would become stuck with grit and sand over time. Unless you don't use the watch in an environment like that.
Wonder how fast the boot up time is compared to the 6 classic
has Samsung unlocked the blood pressure monitor per the FDA yet, or is this going to require the elaborate work around to get it functional?
FDA still has not approved
