Samsung has launched a bunch of new products on the Galaxy Unpacked event including the sixth generation Galaxy foldables, Galaxy Buds 3 series, and the Galaxy Watch 7 series.
The Galaxy Watch 7 series comes includes two models – the Galaxy Watch 7 and the much anticipated Galaxy Watch Ultra. While this article discusses the Ultra model, you can check out the standard Galaxy Watch 7 here.
Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra comes with a squarish design
The Galaxy Watch Ultra smartwatch adopts a new design and a titanium body (Titanium Grade 4), which can withstand high temperatures of -2055°C and 10ATM water pressure. It passes MIL-STD 810H testing and has an optional easy-to-drain water sports strap. In addition, long pressing the shortcut button for 5 seconds activates a powerful 86-decibel siren that can reach up to 180 meters. You can get a better idea of the design from the image below.
Specifications and features:
The watch comes with a 47mm dial and equips a 1.5-inch (37.3mm) 480×480 Super AMOLED, always on display. It will be available in three colors – titanium rock gray, titanium platinum silver, and titanium porcelain white.
This watch also equips the same 3nm Exynos W1000 penta-core chipset that powers the Galaxy Watch 7. According to the company, this new chipset is significantly more capable and power efficient as compared to the dual-core Exynos W930 chip that powers the Galaxy Watch 6. The Exynos W1000 chipset is paired with 2GB memory + 32GB storage. The watch equips a 590mAh battery to power the system.
When the power saving mode is disabled, the Galaxy Watch Ultra offers a battery life of up to 80 hours. At night, the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s display automatically switches to a gentle night mode.
Just like the regular Galaxy Watch 7, this Ultra model also comes with the Samsung BioActive Sensor (Optical Bio-signal sensor+ Electrical Heart Signal + Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis), Temperature Sensor, Accelerometer, Barometer, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, and Light Sensor. These sensors enable a bunch of health-tracking features. For example, you can track multi-course workouts for a triathlon from swimming to cycling to running with the new Multi-sports tile. The new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling measures maximum cycling power in just four (4) minutes with AI-powered FTP metrics.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is currently available for pre-order in select regions through the company’s official website.
