The new Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 have been making some waves in the smartwatch space, but many are wondering if they are actually the better choice, or if last year’s Galaxy Watch6 or Watch6 classic are still good options. Furthermore, despite many major upgrades, there is one massive downgrade Samsung didn’t mention, and for some people, that will make the previous generation the superior buy. That… plus the physical rotating bezel and some other features I’ll discuss in this video. So this is going to be a comprehensive comparison between the latest Galaxy Watch lineup.

Note – there are two more options that I’m not covering in this video. The very new Galaxy Watch FE is $199, essentially the same price as the Watch6 but with a small display, less RAM, a smaller battery, and other older specs. Much like the Galaxy Watch 5.
Secondly, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro which only has 2 more years of support. It’s selling for $299 now but it has a smaller display and really the only benefit is the battery life and titanium build. It’s a good option for some people, but the Watch Ultra really superior.
Fundamental differences
Battery life (6/6Classic/7 all have same 425mAh battery, Ultra has 590)
100 hr battery in power saving mode – I still think OnePlus does this best
Sizes & configurations:
Ultra is the only one without configurations. Always LTE & 47mm, but 3 colors
Watch7 = 40 or 44mm, LTE or non-LTE, 3 colors
Watch6 is the same, 3 colors
Watch6 Classic = 43 or 47mm, LTE or non-LTE, 2 colors
