Samsung Watch Ultra - Questions

[Obsydian]

I love the Galaxy Ring health metric accuracy vs my GW6 Classic,also like the Energy Score but mindful when OS 6 drops the GW6 should get it, but a few other questions I am looking for Watch Ultra users to help with, ideally those who shifted from the GW6 Classic.

1. BATTERY - How long, I can get a comfortable 2 days with my GW6

2. LTE - Can I use any eSIM or must it link to my mobile, like usual LTE GW

3. SIZE - When running or at the gym GW6 Classic buttons rubs my hand

4. SENSORS - Any better ?

Thanks in advance

Yay 😂 you are just like me I think. I love my GW6 Classic but I can't rid off from my brain the Ultra watch. Even if the bazel will be missing and Ultra a bit bulky. Let me know if I'm wrong

[Obsydian]

Agree with the additional of better sensors?

All me prior, GW had LTE rarely used for calls, a waste vs. the battery hit.

[Ferenc75]

Agreed

So I had the chance to test watch ultra this week compared to my watch 7 and this what I found.
1. BATTERY- i get 1.5 days of use with my watch 7 (sometimes bit more depending on what I do) I don't use it to receive calls or lte functions and watch ultra would last 3+ days (depending on your usage)
2.SIZE- it's too "bulky" for me if compared to slick watch 7.
3.SENSORS- both watch 7 and ultra has pretty much same sensors But found that ultra measured more accurately most of the times, sure watch ultra has FTP, emergency siren, and multi sports who will measure your sports activities more accurately But they pretty much same if you really into fitness and want to get better measurements of sleep, training , then I should go with ultra.
4. CONNECTIVITY- both can use e sim or you can link like LTE. in general I'm still choosing watch 7 just because I'm not into heavy sports activity, sure watch ultra measurements are more acurate, battery is 2 times better then watch 7 , but the "bulky" design and feeling not comfortable with it is deal breaker for me. (Also I could go shower etc with watch ultra without worrying to damage something compared to my watch 7 I always take before showers etc even though it states it's water proof still not comfortable with watch 7 as I was with watch ultra)

Thank you buddy, great insights, i am snookered now, might wait for the Watch 8 😂

[lminvti]

Not a problem 👌 and yes, I think the best option is to wait for watch 8 😁

[Obsydian]

But then maybe the Watch 9 😂

I used to find the trade in used to be good vs resale at a later date so would upgrade at every new iteration .

[lminvti]

Or even 10 😂 i do agree it used to be bit better then resale, but it's still kind of decent you can still get up to 140£ for GW6 and GW6C compared to resale value.

I'm not sure why, but I was all set to hit order

Then saw an email saying some Black Friday offers 🫠
