00:00Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch Ultra.

00:02That's right, there are two new Samsung smartwatches

00:05that have just been revealed.

00:06I'm gonna take you through everything you need to know.

00:09Let's start with the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

00:10I think this is definitely the more interesting

00:13of the two watches this year.

00:14And to be clear, Samsung has used Ultra branding before,

00:18most notably for the S series phones.

00:21But priced at $649, it would make a lot of sense

00:25to compare the Galaxy Watch Ultra to the Apple Watch Ultra.

00:28And the similarities don't stop there.

00:30I mean, just look at the design.

00:32We have a squared-off titanium chassis.

00:35We even have an added orange quick button

00:38that can be used to launch workouts, track intervals,

00:41and it also has a safety siren feature

00:43that goes up to 85 decibels.

00:45That's not all.

00:46There's also a night mode for the watch face.

00:49As you can probably gather from the design,

00:51this is meant to be a sporty watch

00:53with features like aerobic heart rate zones,

00:55a functional threshold power test,

00:57dual-band GPS that's great for tracking those runs,

01:00and up to 100 meters water resistance.

01:02To keep up with all your sports and adventures,

01:04the watch has the longest battery life

01:06of any Galaxy Watch ever.

01:08It lasts up to 100 hours, but that's in power-saving mode.

01:12If you're using GPS tracking, that will last 48 hours,

01:15which is actually still very good by GPS watch standards.

01:19Battery life is really important

01:21because this is the type of smartwatch

01:22that you might wanna wear overnight for sleep tracking.

01:26Samsung has earned FDA clearance

01:28for sleep apnea detection.

01:29This actually happened earlier this year,

01:31but it's exciting to see that come to life

01:33on the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

01:34Also worth pointing out that sleep apnea detection

01:36is something that Apple has not figured out yet.

01:39Moving on to the flagship Galaxy Watch 7,

01:42you get a bit more of a familiar look here,

01:44available in two sizes starting at $299.

01:47But the real update that this watch offers,

01:50and it applies to the Galaxy Watch Ultra as well,

01:52is Galaxy AI for Galaxy Watch.

01:56Galaxy AI is coming in the form of a few different features.

01:58First, we have energy score,

02:00which is kind of like a readiness score,

02:02factoring in things like your activity, sleep, heart rate,

02:05to tell you how your body's feeling.

02:06Next, there are wellness tips,

02:08which are individualized insights

02:10on everything from activity to nutrition.

02:12And the key part is that they're curated to you

02:14at times that are relevant

02:16to what's going on with your body.

02:17We also see an enhanced sleep AI algorithm.

02:20Samsung has been really big on sleep coaching

02:23and sleep insights for a while now.

02:25Sleep coaching is a great feature they have,

02:27but this just takes things one step further,

02:29though it is important to note

02:30that you do have to wear your watch to sleep

02:32for several nights in order to use features like this,

02:34as well as sleep apnea that I mentioned earlier.

02:37Otherwise, not too much else is new here.

02:39Storage starts at 32 gigabytes,

02:41which is pretty good for a smartwatch.

02:43And you have the same Samsung version of Wear OS

02:45that gets you a lot of the great Google apps,

02:47but you also have seamless connectivity

02:49with the Galaxy ecosystem of your smartphone and buds.

02:52The thing I'm most interested to see

02:54is if people are gonna be interested

02:55in wearing the Galaxy Watch

02:57in conjunction with the Galaxy Ring,

02:59or if they're gonna go for one or the other.

03:01Speaking of the ring, my hands-on is live on this channel,

03:04so be sure to check that out.

03:06And let me know in the comments

03:07if you have any questions about the Galaxy Watch 7

03:09or Galaxy Watch Ultra,

03:11which one sounded more exciting to you.

03:13Be sure to let me know.

03:14Thanks for watching.

03:15I'll catch you next time.
