Your W6 classic is 47mm?
Same battery duration with larger battery capacity W5 Pro?
Can give better battery life in term of hours for both watches?

Yep. 47mm.
So far it is, because i rarely use my GW6.
At the moment cant, because i didnt use my GW6 for 3 days already. lol. Last used on Sunday. Then left on my desk because i go work with my GW5Pro. Usually use my GW6 for going out. xD Will update when i can hehe sweat.gif

Yes, please do update on a comparable usage for your W6.

Like the W6 Classic design, but the higher battery capacity of W5 Pro appeals more.

Not sure if the newer CPU can save more battery for the W6.

So far used for a day; every Sunday, and on certain occasions, like yesterday public holiday, the watch can last me a day. By evening will have around 30-40% battery. I started using it at night before I sleep till the next day. Then morning use till evening/night time till i reach home around 7/8pm. By that time battery around 30-40%. Heart Rate monitor is on 24/7. Step tracker is on 24/7 also. My GW5Pro can last me usually 2 days. By 2nd day will have around 40% battery, and then can last me till evening, if i set to low power mode. If not before 5pm will have less than 5% battery. A few times already turned off before 5pm lol.

Bought at RM1,499. Added extra one year insurance or something. lol. total was below RM1,600. I think around RM1,590+-. I bought Spigen Rugged Band and Tempered Glass from Ringke I think, both damage is RM100-RM129+- and RM49. My GW5Pro I'm using Supcase Brand Watch Band, also rugged one to protect the screen. Been using my GW5Pro for like 8 months. Still loving it though.. haha. Kinda reluctant to switch to GW6 Classic as it seems more prone to damage with the rotating bezel. sweat.gif

So there really is a day difference between the 2 models, like ~24 hours.

If GW5Pro not lasting till the 2nd night, it will be inconvenient then.

Not sure why other brands like the new Oppo Watch 4 Pro (570mAh) can last much longer, even capable of installing other apps in it.

Ya, roughly la. I use it at certain days only, so probably not that accurate also. Can try tomorrow and see. Now GW6 Classic battery at 44%. Tomorrow see how much it will drop, didnt use today though. Used my GW5Pro, battery left 78% since last charged this morning. Watch face is just digital and no animation whatsoever. GW5Pro i think will last only 1 night. The 2nd day by evening will have around 5-10% battery.

Oo. Maybe its their software?

Hi. Anyone can share:

1. Which powerbank can charge wirelessly for samsung galaxy watch 6?
2. Any 3rd party fast wireless charger for samsung galaxy watch 6? I bought one in shopee and pair with original adapter 25W, the charging very slow.

Thank you!

anyone getting either the ultra or watch7?


https://www.lowyat.net/2024/326236/samsung-...h7-watch-ultra/


there is a rm500 evoucher if you were lucky enough to claim it from their site. might be too late though. all you had to do was enter your name and email to claim it. that link seems to be gone already.


For context it has cheaper competitors (checked the reviews but they were awful fyi. dyor)
https://soyacincau.com/2024/07/09/cmf-watch...rice-spec-info/

there are 3 colors for galaxy 7 watch. if you want the silver, you have to get the 44mm version






more info regarding the battery
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen...t_battery_life/



also peoples impressions of the ring, it's not good mostly due to the pricing of it

well i changed my order for a galaxy 7 ultra.

with the e voucher which you can get from the samsung members app, the price drops down to RM 2039.49 Still not cheap but far better than before.

for the price point not sure i'd recommend for most people unless you can afford it and want something premium. AND ESPECIALLY only if you already have a samsung galaxy phone. I think their requirement was minimum S22+ ? I use a S24 Ultra.


if you want the regular that is about Rm1k ish. If you don't need the LTE (which uses esim), then you can go for the cheaper bluetooth model.

Then they got 40mm or 44mm. The later has a bigger battery. The price difference isn't too big between the 40mm and 44mm, so i would recommend the 44mm bluetooth if you plan to go for a galaxy 7 watch for non ultra.


By the way the AI and software tracking is NOT subscription based. they were very clear about that. So though it's pricey you still should factor in the non subscription model they are offering for this. in that sense it's not that bad. Not sure if any others are doing similar or they expect you to pay for subscriptions. But if you don't like subscriptions and u use a samsung galaxy phone, this is not a bad choice. But whether you want the galaxy 7 or ultra, depends on you though.

There are certaintly some smartwatches to be had on shopee somewhere around the RM400 mark. But keep in mind their results may not necessarily be reliable, and they might not have some of the AI tracking stuff samsung offers for this. So keep that in mind and watch all the reviews before deciding.

The samsung galaxy 7 ultra smartwatch has 2 software features that the non ultra don't have


QUOTE
1. Track multi-course workouts for a triathlon from swimming to cycling to running with new Multi-sports tile. Plus, new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling accurately measures maximum cycling power in just 4 minutes with AI-powered FTP metrics43 to unlock full potential based on indicators unique to you.

2. Galaxy Watch Ultra also provides an advanced **Personalized HR Zone,**44 so you can workout at optimal intensity levels based on your physical capabilities.




This is how Personalized HR Zone works

https://news.samsung.com/global/samsungs-ex...riences-for-all





Other differences


-Bigger size and display

-Titanium instead of Aluminum

-Bigger battery (same as Watch5 Pro's battery)

-Rated for higher water pressure resistance

-Different band (and different band locking mechanism)

- has the physical buttons for quick switching modes/actions rather than waste time navigating through UI to do something


one notable difference is the weight. the ultra is about double the weight (that is even despite using titanium to be lighter)

60.5 g (2.15 oz) VS 33.8 g (44mm), 28.8 g (40mm) (1.02 oz)


Side by side spec comparison
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...&idPhone2=13127



bottomline,

if software side you don't need the multi course workout or the personalized hr zone features, the galaxy 7 non ultra should suffice.

This is however ignoring the other polish for stuff ultra has, but those are extras.




here is an actual hands on unboxing and setup followed by actual usage

If you want more savings, use the samsung shop app. first time buyers is a 5% discount.

Also, if you switch to student store through the app, you can get a student discount. You need a valid .edu email to verify though.

I think first responders also get a discount though i'm not sure exactly how to apply for that, use google.

More reviews by users coming out

apparently Watch 7 and Watch 7 Ultra can't be wirelessly charged from Samsung Phones

QUOTE
It's because of the new sensor - apparently it is bigger and more accurate, but they had to remove wireless charging via reverse powershare. It's a trade between accuracy and the ability to use reverse power share.

thanks, bro Moogle Stiltzkin, for the voucher heads-up. I was just buying the watch 7 for my wife to replace her spoilt Huawei watch. Saw the RM1,360 Watch Ultra voucher then immediately get myself one.

Frankly speaking, for the full price, I dun think it worth it but with such a hefty discount, just have to give it a try. biggrin.gif

ur welcome.

also if anyone is wondering can you later change your mind and ammend your order?

yes. or at least i successfully managed to cancel my initial order for a galaxy 7, and can reorder the ultra.

This is dependent on upper management authorization. So i wouldn't say this is a 100% surety. So i would strongly recommend you be 100% sure of your order BEFORE you purchase.

I got lucky things went well. Either way i would have been ok with either choice. Glad i asked in case i could change my order smile.gif


Yeah i wouldn't have ordered if there was no hefty discount voucher. but even still, the price is still hefty. But for those ordering later well, that price will be even more bonkers. But this is probably their marketing gimmick to upsell, make u think u getting a deal but it's still quite costly. Really.... don't get this if it's out of your budget, it is indeed pricey and get a smartwatch for a better price than the ultra sweat.gif

There is rumors whether the galaxy 7 has glucose monitoring

I feel like it's click bait. If they really did have that feature, samsung would have been yelling about it on the roof tops. That is why i am highly skeptical such a thing can be added through a software update

There's a new sensor to detect advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which could tell about hyperglycemia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_glycation_end-product


It is true they have ages (this also applies to the non ultra galaxy 7 smartwatch). But whether it does glucose monitoring, i'm not sure.


Even apple doesn't have that

have to try out the original band and the free trail band first before deciding whether to get an adapter to wear my usual nato strap. I think the adaptor will be a sure thing to appear in Shopee/Lazada later.

Thanks for the heads up. i am with umobile and they said can't have the same number in two sims. But what's the advantage of having air sim in the watch? calling? does samsung watch has hotspot like in the phone? sorry, this is the first time using lte watch. my current watch is BT.

i'm not too sure on this. but seems d@odao alrdy explained it nod.gif

but from what i saw, you can add an esim to the watch, so it can be used as a phone on its own.

or, you can simply set it up to just pair with the smartphone and use it that way.

i'll test it once it arrives end of this month. my sus is you can use it for phone by simply just pairing it. so only your smartphone the galaxy will require a phone line setup. whether it be esim or regular sim.

the esim capability on the watch simply just means it can be stand alone without use of the phone is to my understanding.


also although there is no bluetooth ultra. you can simply disable lte and use bluetooth instead (yes it has bluetooth, but there is no bluetooth only option). Reason for doing that, lte uses up more power.

A side by side comparison between the samsung 7 ultra and the apply ultra



apple looks nice but it got hit by a lawsuit so one of it's blood features might be missing or something. maybe that is a US only issue? but ok elsewhere?

The 2nd issue is if you are android, and especially have a samsung galaxy, and you don't use iphones, then apple watch may not be appropriate.

hmm.gif

same apples to samsung if you are an iphone user, you might be better off using that instead?


also not to leave garmin out of this race

the cmf watch 2 is interesting... but as always... current reviews are all by paid ass kissers...
seen a couple of real bad reviews already tho... guess have to wait for more real reviews... but rm339 still ok la...

i ordered with the discount evoucher from samsung members app. you click the promo banner there to claim evoucher.

then either go through samsung shop app or their shop website, click the preorder banner then enter the code.

the price for me drop from 3k to rm 2099 or something.

Still damn expensive. For the regular galaxy 7 it was 1099 or close to it for the 44mm bluetooth variant.

even cheaper is the 40mm but you get the worse battery so keep that in mind.

If you plan to do diving, if i am not mistaken, the apple ultra 2 is better for that



there was a news article someone found their apple ultra 2 lost in the ocean after a year
https://www.lowyat.net/2024/326675/apple-wa...ind-my-feature/



whereas the samsung galaxy 7 ultra watch says in fine print
QUOTE
100m water resistant (up to 10 min)


sweat.gif


so if you aren't planning to swim or do diving with your smartwatch, the samsung should be fine. but if that is your primary activity, you may want to get the appl ultra 2 instead. not a fan of apple stuff usually but that is the fact.


the other galaxy watch water test i saw was this old one for the galaxy watch 4




Doesn't seem likely that the galaxy 7 ultra is a swimming or diving smartwatch so be warned.

the closest model to this water test is this galaxy 6



the youtubers are probably working on the galaxy 7 ultra water test videos as we speak laugh.gif


*update

someone said the galaxy 7 ultra can do diving, but the regular galaxy 7 can't. Will wait for reviews that show this hmm.gif

this guy has a lot of previous samsung watches. they are all side by side. good review. he didn't do much of the fitness stuff yet afaik (showing actual exercises, or sleeping with it), but he does other real life usage examples and also goes through the whole settings more or less for the galaxy 7 ultra. This review is very good though it misses on somethings but that's ok because you can refer to one of the other videos posted here or elsewhere to fill in the gaps missed.

i wouldn't say though that the galaxy 6 and 7 is same , because new bio sensor smile.gif ooh and titanium of course.

Another battery test


This test is not for the ultra, but for the regular galaxy 7 watch.


hm. with aod disabled, and not wearing it over night, over a 10 hour period in standby, he got only a 7-8% battery drain hm hmm.gif

a full charge from 5% to 100% is 1 hour 13 minutes fyi.


40 minutes to get from 5% to 80%

Keep in mind the ultra has a bigger battery capacity so that would probably take a bit longer to fill.

Also i doubt it's a good idea to completely drain your battery to below 20-30 % before charging. doubt whether charging from 80-100 is a good idea when doing frequently. So will see what users recommend for battery safety if you want to prolong its life.

But on the days that matter, for sure charge all the way to 100% definitely. But for on a normal day when it's not that important, i don't see why you can't limit it to 80% same like what you do on your smartphone, just to prevent it wearing out.

Not sure about ebay but there is carousell which is popular in these parts.

all i did was use the evoucher from samsung members only.

But seems others are finding better ways of getting better discounts.

if you scroll down this article it explains about this evoucher the one i used
https://bm.soyacincau.com/2024/07/10/galaxy...-awal-malaysia/


oddly, their english article did not mention this
https://soyacincau.com/2024/07/12/samsung-g...specs-features/



You can get the galaxy 7 ultra discount from the android app "samsung members". there is a banner you click then you can claim the code. The soya website explains.

I think i read somewhere it said "selected" samsung members will get the e-voucher (RM 1360 off). So now i am wondering, maybe not all members will have it? but i am not sure hmm.gif

But if you go facebook and other social, there are people asking for others to share their code. Maybe they already used theirs or they never got one to begin with, no idea.

I did however noticed some people being sneaky and selling voucher codes on carousel sweat.gif lmfao




tldr:

without evoucher, the watch is 3k+

With evoucher it's 2k

Still not cheap, but it's a bit better sweat.gif


you also get some preorder goodies.

QUOTE
default stuff

- Galaxy Watch Ultra (LTE, 47mm)
- Galaxy Watch Ultra Marine Band
- Fast Wireless Charger



preorder goodies

- Wireless Battery Pack 10,000mAh

- extra wrist band (random, cannot pick color or which band type. If you ordered early on you could, but not now)

Mine was the Galaxy Watch Ultra PeakForm Band  laugh.gif


- Adventure Box & Waterproof Pouch

- Galaxy SmartTag2 (1 Pack)

- 15W PD Power Adapter (USB-C) (without Cable)



this offer is up to end of this month? hmm.gif also the longer you wait, you may get whatever left over wrist bands that is available.


Not everyone has to go ultra like i did. Because they use the same biosensor. You can pay HALF the price of the ultra (assuming you used the evoucher, otherwise the ultra will be 3 times the price of the galaxy 7)


If that wasn't enough, they also saying now the face watch of the Ultra will trickle down the the regular galaxy 7 watches (maybe other models like galaxy 6? though i'm not sure) over time.



if your on an older smarthwatch and still wondering if you should upgrade or note



PS: if you see the screenshot, there is also a discount code for the regular galaxy 7 watch. Though it's only RM200 sweat.gif

there was a discussion on this. the circle screen is basically the same size as the 44mm galaxy 7 roughly.

so though it say it's bigger, the actual screen isn't as big. Just take the apple ultra 2 as example. It's boxed shape so the size reflects mostly the screen, whereas the samsung has those rectangular sides, with a circle within. So that circle within is a smaller screen display and is actually closer to the of the basic galaxy 7 44mm so i heard on youtube.

so that is even more reason why some decided to go for galaxy 7 (non ultra).



Anyway for people wondering what features will be missing/not working if you don't pair with a samsung smartphone that supports samsung's ai features
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen...eries_requires/


basically if you do get the watch ideally you want to use with samsung smartphone. Not apple or just any android phone. You can but it won't be the same for full feature access.

the only thing i had on hand which was a samsung was a very old samsung s3. it wasn't in their trade in list. guess i held onto it for too long sweat.gif

there is no bluetooth only for the ultra. But, you can disable lte if you don't plan to enable that feature, and use bluetooth only

Bought on 11th and originally stated 26th as well. Just changed to 20th 2 days ago when status changed to Awaiting Dispatch. Today is 20th LOL so maybe as usual, I am guessing it will still be 26th unless Monday there is an actual tracking ID.

Update: looks like true. At 1AM tracking updated. Probably will get it tomorrow DHL do send on sunday eh? Already at Delivery Facility. Great haha.

These are some youtubers doing the accuracy test for the health features. keep an eye on their channels. The last link covers a lot of depth into specific feature. Not as scientific as the scientist and rain, but is still worth checking out nod.gif

after you watch quantified scientist, you will cry bye.gif
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen...d_first_health/


it's crazy how apple's ultra 2 watch is top of the accuracy charts sad.gif If that had worked well with android, i wouldn't have minded getting that instead. but we can't because you have to commit to one ecosystem or the other, which is tough sweat.gif








Apple Ultra 2 review. if you are wondering how well the apple did compared to the samsung

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra - WORSE Battery Life?




this video offered some suggestions what setting may extend battery life. not sure that it's fully comprehensive but it's something.

also if you fully drain watch it would take 2 hour i think to fully charge? sweat.gif

so if you don't feel comfortable doing the online trade in where you ship to them, apparently they have samsung stores where you can trade in yourself directly. though i'm not sure if you preorder online whether you can then select to trade in, in person or not or if it's only if u ship it via parcel via courier only?

yeah. i dub it samsung preorder waiting anxiety syndrome laugh.gif

guess i'll check again tomorrow the samsung website if preorder change to shipping or not. Only then i will contact live sweat.gif

the only thing positive was my previous order cancellation did change to "cancelled" and i did confirm that i received the refund. So that one is ok. Also the silver lining, because redid my 2nd order quick enough it managed to get the same delivery date as my previous order. People who waited too long got bumped to august console.gif

i checked today, but my order still says being prepared still.

i asked live chat, they said this

QUOTE
I understand. Dont worry as you order still in process. For the pre-order promotions, the collection/delivery period is estimated to be from 31 July 2024 to 30 September 2024 and the status will not show on the website until the delivery is ready.

The order will be process by batch. Once the order is ready at the warehouse and ready for shipment, we will be notifying customer again with the tracking link from our courier service partner DHL.


cry.gif

I asked will my order be shipped today the 26th? then they reply like that. Not very reassuring


if the collection/delivery is from 31st July, why is mine showing 26th July on their website? lmfao

My watch 7 order finally dispatched, i.e. pick up by DHL at 10:48pm yesterday night. The "Out for Delivery" is actually meaning "Pick up by courier". DHL tracking can track the shipment already, hopefully today or tomorrow can get it.

Just went to bluecube which is now celcomdigi store, they said if previously using digi yes there's still esim support for galaxy watch LTE.

But because of the merger happening now, they're in the midst of testing and consolidating the backend processes. No timeline on when celcomdigi will provide esim to Galaxy watch LTE.

It's also funny because they do sell Samsung LTE watches on their website/app but no esim support yet.

I just don't understand why they can do it with Apple watches but not Samsung watches.

hm interesting that some people who got charged already for preorder yet have yet to receive their item, they asked for a partial refund for the delay and some got it

QUOTE
QUOTE
same with me.. delayed, preorder about 5 minutes after preordered opened... co worker who placved the same exact order 3 hours later got theirs last friday... charge finallized on 7/18/24... still their no pending or anything


QUOTE
And that is them violating their agreement. I had them confirm they have received the payment, and had them confirm the product wasn't available when they did. I asked for a partial refund for them violating their terms and they said they would after the products get delivered because they shouldn't have charged you with nothing to deliver. The amount would be dependent on how long it takes to be delivered. Shady as it gets.


QUOTE
i was told the same, but only after speaking with a supervisor... they will only go up top 5% of the total order... i had this issue when i preordered the tab s9 ultra... after 3 weeks of waiting and delays, i evenutally drove to coppell,texas(i live in waco so all my orders come from there) it was sitting... in the outbound pick up bay... on a cart thatr had been skipped multiple time because it was against a wall and ups only has so much room, so they pick up all they can, then next day the stuff that wasnt picked up, gets cycled to the front... the cart with my stuff and a bunch of other peoples stuff was just sitting their... for weeks

personally i don't want to be a difficult customer, but hopefully this doesn't take longer than 2-3 weeks, cause at that point i may reconsider my position hmm.gif considering it's already paid for, yet haven't received my preorder cry.gif

seems there is some sort of firmware update to fix battery drain
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen..._battery_issue/

QUOTE
Some users say that turning off Bluetooth on the Watch 7 solves the problem of battery drain.

If you are under a lot of stress because of your battery, I think it would be a good idea to try using it just for a while until an update comes out.

For many people who are experiencing inconvenience... I hope a correction update comes out soon.



some people mentioned disabling bluetooth? but i don't find that helpful, because you need bluetooth to connect to your galaxy smartphone.

my preorder i got issued a peakform white band at random (not yet received).

This is what the silver ultra + white band looks like
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen...ith_white_band/


so guess not too bad hmm.gif

didn't want to get the white cause i may want to go for a black strap so that might not work. But with silver you can go black or white and it will work fine from what i can tell.

a lot of people tested the galaxy ultra for swimming
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen...ultra_vs_water/


though i wonder how it fares for longer term after going swimming with it.

some people say it's fine, but if you check the wording, it's water RESISTANT. Which is not the same as water PROOF.

Also samseng does not cover water damage, though they MAY if you have the samsung care which you have to pay for (which is some sort of insurance warranty add on) basically. But don't quote me on that cauz i'm not 100% sure.

Whats interesting to note, when it detects water, it will auto set water lock. Water lock simply means you cannot mess with screen when it's in water.

When you are out of water and you disable water lock, it will blow water out of the holes in your watch. I read people recommend, enable/disable water lock a couple of times to be fully sure that it removed all the water in the gaps.

If you do sea swimming, then you have to wash out the salt water. Salt is bad....

Also do not press the physical buttons when under water. It's only water resistant when you don't press those buttons. Maybe it doesn't need to be said, but just in case, DO NOT press the physical buttons or water might leak in.

QUOTE
Reports say chlorine does degrade rubber / gaskets but I guess only time will tell on these, I'll keep you posted.
not sure if this is true, but they said when it goes into water lock it makes a VERY noticeable sound to indicate as such. So one user commented the other pool swimmers all just looked at him when his smart watch was blaring out loud. That would have been pretty embarrassing sweat.gif

yes, exactly same as my case. Just received a call from Samsung CS 10 mins ago. She informed me about the delay in Buds 3 Pro shipment. I thought she is calling for something about the Watch Ultra. So i just asked her to check my Watch ultra shipement and she give me a tracking number on the spot. Check the DHL tracking and found out it is already at the delivery hub near my office, so should get it by today. nod.gif

i was posting early here in thread pointing out the 40% discount voucher in samsung members for the ultra. It's only till end of July 2024. Not sure if too late by now.

paid RM 2,039.40 after using voucher

If you opted for the G7 watch instead, it's about RM 1k (there was a RM200 evoucher for it)

i just called they still said my order still being prepared. and said orders will start shipping in batches starting from 31st july.

didn't give me any tracking number sad.gif



did you do the preorder? and what free band did you get? and what color for your ultra? This is the only thing i can think of that may impact how soon my shipping arrives. I'm guessing one or both of these things are in short supply hence the longer delay for my order is my guess.

Mine is silver ultra watch, and the free band is the peak form white

I get the "standard" titanium grey with standard orange band. For the free band I chose dark grey trail band. Pre-ordered on 13th morning.

Yes, I think the colour you choose will affect the delivery date.

Thank you for holding on the line. Ainz sama. Upon checking on the pre-order made on 13th July 2024 towards Galaxy Watch Ultra (LTE, 47 mm)Titanium Silver. Your order are in the midst of finalization before it can move to transportation process under tracking number : supersecret lelz. But please note that this below tracking link can only be checked after 24-48 hours later only.

https://ecommerceportal.dhl.com ...............

At the same time, please expect separate delivery for this Galaxy Watch Ultra PeakForm Band White Sand, as this item will be shipped to you on a later date.


So basically i got them to ship mine early, and ship the free band at a later date rather than have me nag them why my watch not ship sooner. So they will send the band that is delayed separately at a later date. This is what i wanted, and something i suspected was the reason for the delay. I didn't want to wait for my watch to delay just for the freebie band. They can send that later when it's available i don't mind. I just want the watch and the default band asap.

I finally got the tracking number for shipping and also in writting they will expedite the shipping by omitting the band for now. Great laugh.gif


If anyone else is in this predicament, try contact their live support. I had to go through so many different CS on live chat before i got a proper resolution i was looking for. Not the default " we only ship 31st and your order still in preparing stage, and they dont even give you tracking number or tell you anything else beyond that.

Dear valued customer, your pre-order from Samsung online Store has been shipped out. Some accessories will be delivered separately. Thank you.


Afaik i think only the free wrist band is shipped separately only (this was only thing live chat mentioned), though i could be wrong. will see. But actually i don't mind that. The important part if watch arrive first.

weird cause the tracking number given not yet active. also website still shows Preparing order.


guess i have to check tomorrow. but the sms alert is new so some activity at least sweat.gif

ok i just noticed on the samseng website.

although it says still being prepared. but if you click see details,

then you scroll down, all the other stuff (EXCEPT the free band) is now updated to "Awaiting dispatch".

Thats new. So i guess shipping tomorrow or the day after? not sure. Have to wait for my tracking number to work. they said 1-2 days :X

But since sms said already shipped, i think they sent it to the closest hub, so then it would next day or day after send to me after that.

if u want light weight dont get ultra. it's way heavier compared to the galaxy 7.

if easy detach/attach strap, ultra has this mechanism. very easy at the press of a button to detach and install back.

for clean their all about the same. but the ultra has better durability and is water resistant so least likely to get damaged.

By the way any thoughts on this strap from shopee?

"Quick Fit Luxury Stainless Steel Strap for Samsung Watch 7 Ultra 47mm Business Metal Band for Galaxy 7 47mm Curved End Bracelet"

about Rm70 is it worth or not? or is there better suggestions for this?

If you bump up your budget to 120+ you can probably get titanium band of roughly similar design. What grade titanium, is it even real titanium, no idea laugh.gif

just got my watch delivered on 1st august. pretty good biggrin.gif


hm out the box i see that it had about 88% charge already hmm.gif





this helped me set it up


did some preliminary test, my resting heart beat not good sad.gif maybe it's coffee? no idea xd...

QUOTE
A resting heart rate of 75-bpm (which is considered normal by the UK NHS) was shown to double the risk of early death. Men whose heart rate increased during their 50s were also more likely to develop heart disease in their 60s.
so basically it's my own personal death note bye.gif xd. Guess time to crank out more exercise bruce.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



*update

for me, i was sitting too long, the watch alerted me of my inactivity and suggested i do some exercise and gave me some suggestions. So i selected squats, then it counted along while i did the activity. I am really glad i got this watch. It's like my personal trainer/reminder for when i am not mindful to avoid being sedentary.

I am not sure if the galaxy 7 can also do this. But this was one feature i wanted so i went with ultra assuming it only had this hmm.gif


for body fat composition, i think it's accurate sad.gif yes this watch will fat shame you (for your own good) laugh.gif


so far the only thing it didn't let me measure was the ECG. You need to calibrate with the other necessary hardware to get the values. You can buy this required device from shopee if you want it's not too expensive.

And some of them requires more data. Sleep, energy, health profile (which animal type r u xd) etc.


I must say that the default wrist band is very comfortable. I was worried what to expect but it's good (for me at least). By the way did you know the metalic part of the band is titanium? smile.gif

Also some people were saying the strap was too long. But for me it was just right. There was hardly much excess. I didn't have to double tuck or anything like that. Does the ultra come in small size? or large size? Whatever it is, it fit really well for me.


i never touched the old galaxy watch with rotating bezel, but lookin at the videos i get why some would like that. But my experience with this screen rotating bezel was ok. Even if you hated it, you aren't forced to use it. You can go to the settings and disable it, but really you don't even need to do that. You can simply manually next/next swipe without even doing the rotating swipe. So really it's not that big a deal (at least for me). I use it now and then if not all the time.



*update

for battery you can opt for disable aod off. but i kept it on.

There is also a setting for lift wrist to wake, or click screen to wake.

From my observation, when i am typing keyboard, the AOD is in some sort of lower setting mode because the colors and brightness adjust to use less power. But the moment i turn my wrist to look at watch, it auto cranks up the brightness and changes the color back to default. So i'm happy with the default setting to let it wake/sleep as is. Though i am not sure how this would work during sleep. I am assuming if you have sleep mode, it should know not to go crazy on battery when you are moving in your sleep, i would assume. No idea, will have to see.

tested my first work out. 11minutes of weight lifting, burnt 76 calories. I know it's not a proper work out, but it's something ^^;

pressed the quick orange button, select the work out (other exercises), then did some weights.

Guidelines for bpm target
https://stepzfitness.com.au/ideal-heart-rat...-stepz-fitness/

with the watch it helped me a rough idea where i am at, so i don't over do or under perform.


A while back in the news, someone died using threadmill. they probably did not know they were over doing it. this watch will alert you when you are out the safety zone. Not sure i'd 100% trust it, but it's at least something.


speaking of the alarm, i tested the water lock, unlock, and wow... the noise is too audible. They really need to let you adjust the sound volume for it. For personal use in the public pool a lower volume or just simply a vibration would have suffice. Heads will turn i tell you laugh.gif

yeah i'm ok with the weight.

But technically it is heavier than the galaxy 7

galaxy 7 = 33.8 g (44mm), 28.8 g (40mm) (1.02 oz)

VS

galaxy ultra = 60.5 g (2.15 oz)

For inactivity alerts go here

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen...n_settings_can/

e.g. 9am to 5pm , if it detects inactivity for 1 hour, it will remind you.

outside these hours it won't alert you. e.g. your asleep etc.



during the setup i got prompted that lte by my telco is not supported. but i'm not using esim so not sure if that was why it didn't work. You guys can check if ur telco lte work with it or not. Afaik you need esim.

That said even if you don't set that up, you can still receive sms on watch from phone. Both for whatsapp and also regular sms. I didn't try phone call, i'll do that later.

But basically if you setup lte on the watch, you can make it a stand alone phone, when you don't have access to your smartphone for some odd reason hmm.gif

Anyway i disabled lte, not using that and it's a big battery drain.

day 1 sleep.

7 hours 22 minutes. I think that roughly correct. sleep score 82, guess that's good for me xd

Just before you sleep, just select the sleep mode. Your watch aod turns off (probly also battery saver features as well, though not sure). You can't wake it unless you deliberately press the button. So you don't have to worry about accidentally turning it on at night while asleep.

In the indepth sleep stats you can see your sleep stages, which i got 4 which is normal. It even shows your duration for awake, rem, light, deep. But i don't have the equipment like quantified scientist did. So i can only assume it's more or less correct. But it's rather interesting to see these stats.


You don't get your animal badge until 7 days of sleep records.

ages is light orange. If you click "i" it suggests how to improve this score.


energy score 62 fair. i think that is about right. i don't feel too crappy or feel like superman either. more or less accurate.

stress level in the green. Makes sense cauz i'm well rested.

One thing they said you should do before breakfast is run the body composition around this time.



You can navigate from your watch, but since my S24 Ultra is right in front of me, i prefer checking via the phone because it's got a bigger screen and you can see your options in one place rather than swipe through on watch. When i'm away from phone only then i'd use the watch. So i can run the tests from phone and the watch will run the measurement, perfect. it's a very seamless experience.


battery is 54% It was roughly 70-80% i think before i went to bed. Also it's still learning my patterns so have to wait a week or 2 before it adjusts battery to my usage.

QUOTE
aod 13.4%

samsung health 12.4%

ultra analog watch face 2.3%

one ui watch home 2%

flashlight 1.3%

googleplay store 1.2%

samsung health monitor 1%

whats app 0.5%





For firmware mine shows

L705

So not sure if this has the battery fix or not hmm.gif

Full tear down of the Galaxy Ultra devil.gif



7/10 repairability score from ifixt.


seems they can access the watch through the back. The battery looks like it may be replaceable.

But the question is, how do you reseal it with all the water proofing stuff which you mess up when you first open it? hmm.gif


It's not like your battery will just drop dead the next day. also you can always send it to samsung for repair if needed at some point. Not sure if they do battery replacements.

not sure since i don't have either of those. They both seem to be some sort of cloth type fabric wrist band of that sort.

The one i am using is the default ultra marine wrist band (mines black)
https://www.samsung.com/my/mobile-accessori...et-snl70mkegww/


*look at the price if you bought this separately. about RM400. Most of the cost probably the titanium metalic parts laugh.gif On shopee/aliexpress you can get something that looks almost the same for far less.

https://www.sammobile.com/news/how-much-do-...tch-bands-cost/

hmm.gif



I used it all day and slept with it, it's very comfortable, doesn't bother me. I had a decent sleeping score so that should be proof enough. Also did at least 2 exercises on 2 separate days (weight lifting and some ab crunches), it's fine.



My other band a peakform white, hasn't arrived yet. no rush sweat.gif But that one too is of similar material to the ultra marine more or less, just slightly different. will report how that one goes. It's also a different color.


I don't have the gray/orange as reference other than youtube, but using the silver/black strap in person, i am really liking it and thkful i got this. It might be bland and too common a color scheme, but it works for me.

later i may order a stainless steel wrist band for more casual wear that is not sports related for outings.


Was considering getting a charger stand to use the existing samsung wireless charger with watch. But using as is, it still charges fine, so maybe not needed, though it would be much neater looking.

Samsung's Sleep Apnea feature has FDA approval

This is the first feature of its kind that has been provided authorization by the FDA in the United States. This means that Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra owners can use the Samsung Health Monitor app to detect signs of sleep apnea by just tracking their sleep twice for over four years in a ten-day period.

Meant for users over the age of 22, the sleep apnea feature can help with detecting signs of moderate to severe OSA after a two-night monitoring period. Obstructive sleep apnea is a very common sleep condition that typically goes undetected. It's a chronic condition that can cause a person to stop breathing when they're asleep.

This may result restriction to the oxygen supply and poor sleep quality. If sleep apnea goes untreated, it may increase the risk of heart diseases such as cardiac arrhythmia and stroke. The National Sleep Foundation estimates that around 25% of men and 10% of women in the United States get OSA.

That's a considerable number, with many not getting treated in time as the condition goes undiagnosed. The sleep apnea feature on the new Galaxy Watch models ensures that people can proactively detect OSA and get the medical assistance they require to reduce any potential complications.


https://www.sammobile.com/news/this-one-gal...ving-your-life/



well the watch for me just brings the health stuff to my attention and gives me more incentive to work out more, since i feel like i can better track my progress better and also know if i am in the hbpm zone for a good work out.

But if you're not the type that likes these things, then i don't recommend the watch for those people. The watch is mostly for users who want better tracking and some general help to improve their overall health. You still need to put in the work for exercise and diet, but the watch helps you.

whether it's worth rm2k with evoucher, maybe not (its 3k without voucher which is a limited time deal). But i can afford it and it's for my health so i'm fine with that. If you are more tight on budget then the galaxy 7 would be ok as well (rm 1k with evoucher 200 off). But if you want to go even cheaper, there the older galaxy watches or other brands for half that, but whether it's accurate or not *shrug sweat.gif





some suggestions for apps. So far i only installed spotify and google maps.

Music on the watch works great. Sign in on your galaxy smartphone, then it connects to your watch so you don't have to sign in again. Music works good but obviously not as good as on the S24 Ultra speakers. But it's decent enough.

Googlemaps is very convenient. You can see a route, then it directs you with arrows and distance etc to reach your location goal. It's basically like Waze but on your wrist. Actually you can even using it while driving as well, but keep your eye on the road sweat.gif

Was testing the speakers playing music via youtube.

to get youtube (for videos) to work, you had to do it in a roundabout manner. You can't simply install youtube (they only have youtube music). Instead you install the samsung browser, then from there there is a shortcut to youtube, click that. Only then you can use it. Weird sweat.gif

I got locally backed up video for exercise routines, but not sure how to use video player from nas to watch, so for now i'll just save videos into youtube playlist and run them from there. Unless someone has a trick for this hmm.gif


*update

at 30% it says 1 hour 12minutes until full ohmy.gif

my S24 ultra using sfc 2.0 only takes 20 minutes to go from 30 to 80%

ty bru for the reco.

for whatsapp i could live without it on watch. but i don't always bring the smartphone with me all the time. so having the watch show me my whatsapp on hand is neat. so i kept it.

shazam, i also installed this. it's very easy access and convenient to find the songs. killer feature. if you are not a music person then don't bother xd.

not sure about SimpleWear, i'll check it out ty notworthy.gif




fyi i'm testing charging watch to 80% and drain to 30% before charging it back. will see if that works well or not. But there is the drain bug issue..... wish the firmware gets released soon x-x; ugh...

tested phone call.

didn't have to setup esim lte. lte is disabled.

phone your smartphone. the watch will also have the phone alert, u click the answer call on phone.

didn't see a end call. so went to settings, for gestures setup double pinch, and also the shake wrist to dismiss.

this ended call.


if you are in public, don't use the watch cauz it's on loud speaker laugh.gif though maybe can adjust so output goes through a headset or something? i didn't test.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/commen..._in_europe_yet/

battery drained 5% in one hour of dormancy! That's no good. I can only get 2and a half day usage with 10% left before charging again.

what is ur settings?

go to battery check whats using the most power and disable stuff you don't need.

make sure google assistant is not running in background.


use the bottom scroller, click the circle see what apps running in background and disable. dont disable everything though. the health stuff leave those on.

More answers regarding the battery fix via firmware update

there 2 different firmware. one for galaxy ultra, other for the galaxy 7


The youtube indicates the specific firmware that has the fixes.


There 2 types of user profile. One for just a time piece, with none of the other features enabled. And 2nd profile for use all the features. You can see how well the battery usage fared compared the 2 different user use cases



By the way, when you go to battery show what used battery, it then lists all the apps that drain how much % and how long the battery lasted since you last fully charged.

The thing is, to properly reset this counter, you MUST charge it back to 100%

So if you tried charging to 80%, it doesn't reset. There is no setting like smartphone to cap max charge to 80% like you can do with smartphone. But if you manually stop charging once it hits 80-8% you won't get the battery stat reset..... Just to point this out for people who don't already know how this works.


PS: my free band is still stuck in "being prepared". I don't mind the wait for this since not urgent. But really there is a long delay for the band to arrive, and it's already been a week+ laugh.gif Good thing i asked samsung to expedite my watch otherwise they all will be waiting on that strap to ship altogether, yikes ohmy.gif

Nothing happen, you still get your trade in discount. Just that your trade in device cannot be use for any future trade in.....your trade in device imei will be blacklisted by Samsung. You still can sell it outside.

It's correct info as I did it

Yes correct, you can reject the InstaCash deal (the trade in company) no problem. I did that too, and you still get the trade in discount by Samsung (they will not asked you to pay the difference)

When i bought my S24 Ultra, I trade in my A51. Then when instacash asked for collection, i rejected the deal.

But according to Samsung, they will blacklist ur trade in device IMEI (which means my A51) for any future trade in, you can go asked Samsung Chat. If they never block the IMEI, you untung lor, can use to trade in again for next purchase.

Summary, I got the Trade In Discount and get to keep the old phone as spare.

Finally received my Watch 7 40mm cream last Friday... the pre-order package came in a beautiful gift box with the watch and smart tag inside. Only the additional grey strap is missing and still under preparation status.

My wife loves the yellowish white of the cream color option!

However, I am charging the watch on my Watch active 2 charger over USB A. Hope it's ok as I am out of USB C ports on my GaN adapter sad.gif

I received the trail band together with my pre-order package. The trail band is the best yet compared to the default marine band and my Nato band with adaptor. It is a bit stretchy, so more comfortable.

i received the peakform bands few days or so ago.

comparing the ultra marine vs peakform band, i can safely say that the original ultra marine is better.

because it's more comfortable to wear, especially when resting your wrist against a table top to type on a keyboard. Whereas with the peakform, you feel the bottom side of the band pressing into your wrist uncomfortably. I don't feel as big an issue with the ultra marine.

If not for that, i wouldn't have minded the peakform band. Just from a comfort standpoint, it's worse.

i gave the peakform band another try. it's more tolerable than before. my preference for comfort is still the ultramarine.

i also just recently got the stainless steel band roughly rm40. there was a rm25 one that was similar, but looking closely at the pics, the build quality didn't look as good (not as well polished/machined). So i didn't mind paying a bit extra.

it came with a tool so i could remove excess length. it fits, but my preference would be slightly loose. 1 extra chain was too much, but minus 1 chain though perfect, was tigher than my preference. so had they had a mini adjustment chain link, i could have done a minor adjustment (some stainless steelbands have this, the one i got didn't unfortunately).

the steelband looks nice (less sporty, and more for casual wear or professional that is more classy looking), but comfort wise, the ultramarine and peakform might be better.

you cannot charge directly from the wireless power bank. were you trying to lie the watch on it? no. It cannot charge that way.

You have to plug the watch wireless dock into the powerbank, and charge that way,

OR, use the charger connected the wireless dock and charge that way.


If you want to charge by putting watch on samsung smartphone that supports wifi charging, you also cannot do that. Because the design of the watch does not allow wireless charging laying on anything OTHER than the provided wireless dock (the round circle thing).

But the indirect method of pluging in the wireless dock to the smartphone will work, by placing the watch on the wireless dock (which is designed for the watch)

well not really. you can still use he wireless brick to charge from, but you need he wireless circle docker which he watch was designed to be charged from. if you can afford to bring the wireless charging bank with you, your fine bringing he other thing with you. it's small enough.

heck, you can even skip he bank altogeher, and only bring the circle docker only, since you can then charge off your smartphone if you prefer.

the reason they gave why it only can charge this way, e.g. (it can't charge directly off the wireless bank or a smartphone), was because of he new sensor which did not allow for that.

Sure it would have been nice, but between he choices, i rather have a more accurate sensor smile.gif in my opinion xd

Is the galaxy ultra safe in water?
https://www.sammobile.com/news/how-waterpro...galaxy-watches/

Not sure if samsung warranty (the extra one you pay for) covers water damage. so personally i wouldn't chance it. It's a shame :/

For anyone wondering, yes the Galaxy Ultra has apnea detect feature, BUT, apparently it was not cleared by Malaysia yet


This article is for the apple brand, but the same probably applies to the samseng, becauz the apnea feature is missing, probably for the same reason

https://www.lowyat.net/2024/332810/apple-wa...detection-msia/


This feature merely just checks if you have sleep apnea or not. Once you've tried a week i suppose, you can then disable it. I don't think you need it on all the time, just initially to confirm it first for a week. then you can save on battery.

after using this for a while, noticed that the music app runs in background.

the only solution i could find, after charging my watch, check the apps to check if anything running in background. if u see the music app running, just close it. Have to check everytime i complete a full charge.

For google assistant you can disable it from running in background by going to settings. But for the music, doesn't seem to have this options. It's a bit ridiculous x-x;

Can I ask anyone have experiences with Samsung watch on swimming? I turned on water lock mode, but after that the watch lost control. On and off, screen running itself. But during the swimming, watch audio still reporting for workout session. Is it because speaker issue?

Yes just received the quotation RM1.2K.
Not sure is it worth for watch 7, or should change to garmin.

Lesson learnt, never bring watch for swimming. Even if water lock also useless.

after recent galaxy ultra watch update, tested battery (i did a cache partition clear after firmware update).

battery lasts 3 days if use all the batter. but if i use from 100 to 20-30% its about 2 and a half days.

If u disable all the features and simply use as a watch, supposedly the battery can a week maybe more (but at that point, y bother get a smart watch if u dont use the other smart features like health).

From personal experience, handphone, usb sony walkman inside washing machine after full cycle still works after putting it in a dry box for a few days. Still using my Honor Band 6 that has gone wonky after water ingress till now after drying it out in a drybox.

2-3 days for me. 3 days if i am willing to completely flatline the watch or close to it at 5-10% left. but normally i recharge at 20-30%

so for me based on that it lasts 2 and a half days before recharge. this is when i optimize the battery settings so it reduces battery drain, but still able to function for health monitoring 24/7

charging takes an hour or more.

Unfortunately, no. They didnt ask the cause. Only check what's spoilt.
