Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra design
You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but can you judge a brand-new smartwatch by its design? If so, we’re feeling pretty great about the new Samsung smartwatches.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 continues on the tradition of Samsung’s iconic circular face. Users can now personalise their look further with new watch bands that include a ripple shape design and colourful stitch details.
There are two different sizes to choose from: large, available in green and silver, and small, available in green and cream.
In a similar vein to the Apple Watch Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is designed for fitness fanatics and risk takers who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors.
This hardy model is made from grade 4 titanium and tested to military standards. It’s available in a 47mm size and comes in Titanium Grey, Titanium White and Titanium Silver.
Not only that, it’s also water resistant up to 100m, meaning that far from simply being resistant to splashes and accidents, it’s even suitable for diving.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra features
True to form, each of Samsung’s new watch models is packed full of exciting new features.
Firstly, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7’s CPU is a whopping three times faster than the previous Samsung Galaxy 6 model.
One of the most impressive features of Samsung’s new model has got to be the dual frequency GPS system, which has the unique boast of being the first one in the entire world. This will greatly increase the accuracy of the GPS system.
You can also take advantage of the suggested replies on messages function, meaning that even when you’re busy out and about, you can stay in touch with family and friends without spending the whole day glued to your phone.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra’s status of being the ideal offering for adrenaline junkies and fitness fans means that there are plenty of features to help it withstand the most extreme conditions.
The watch has the ability to function from 55 degrees to minus 22 degrees, so that whether you’re in the desert or the Arctic, you can still keep in contact with the outside world and continue to track your fitness goals.
It also works anywhere from 9,000 metres above sea level to 500 metres below sea level, helping you to stay connected from the highest heights to the depths of the earth.
