Design and battery life
Watch Ultra: angular watch case
Samsung Galaxy smartwatches used to be round, until now. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the first square Samsung watch. The screen is still round, though. The Watch Ultra is the largest and heaviest Samsung watch, as it's 47mm. Thanks to the titanium casing and and sapphire glass, the Ultra is shockproof and scratch-resistant. With a 36-hour battery life, this watch lasts 2 times longer than other Samsung Watch models.
Watch 7: familiar design
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 looks like you'd expect from Samsung Galaxy smartwatches: it has a sleek, round watch case made of aluminum. This makes the Galaxy Watch 7 very similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 6. The Watch 7 is available in 2 sizes: 40mm and 44mm. The battery life isn't as long as that of the Ultra, as it lasts about 1 day. This means that you have to charge this smartwatch often.
Watch FE: similar to Watch 7
In terms of design, the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is also really similar to the Galaxy Watch 7 and 6. The Watch FE has a thicker black bezel around the screen. As a result, the screen is smaller than that of the Watch 7. The Galaxy Watch FE is only available in the smaller 40mm version. The battery life is as long as that of the Watch 7, which is about 1 day.
Daily use and AI
Watch Ultra: uses AI
For daily use, these 3 Samsung smartwatches don't differ much. The biggest difference is Galaxy AI. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), your Samsung Watch Ultra is even more personal. You can send quick answers to your messages on your smartwatch based on earlier conversations, for example. In addition, the Galaxy Ultra has a new chip. This makes the smartwatch faster than its predecessors.
Watch 7: uses AI
The Galaxy Watch 7 also has AI, which allows you to make your smartwatch more personal. The Watch 7 uses this the same way as the Watch Ultra. In addition, the Watch 7 has the same new chip as the Ultra. That makes this Watch faster than its predecessors. All of these Samsung smartwatches are an extension of your smartphone. You can receive messages, make contactless payments, and use all your favorite apps from your wrist. Use Spotify, Google Maps, and Strava, for example.
Watch FE: no AI
The Galaxy Watch FE doesn't have AI, so this starter model doesn't adjust itself to your preferences as well. The Watch FE also has an older chip. This makes the watch a bit slower, and you can't scroll through the different menus as smoothly. The other functions are the same, such as making contactless payments, listening to music, controlling music, and making calls.
Sports and health
Watch Ultra: all the functions for serious athletes
With the robust Watch Ultra, you can practice extreme sports like mountain climbing and trail running. The large screen allows you to see more of your data during workouts. Start your favorite workout, turn on the flashlight, or send out an emergency signal with a touch of the action button. With the emergency audio signal, you can call for help when you're in trouble. In addition, you can analyze your workout performance and health data more precisely thanks to Galaxy AI. The Ultra combines the data of your heart rate, sleep, and movement. And you'll get tips and insights to improve your health and workout performance.
Watch 7: similar functions
In terms of sports and health functions, the Samsung Watch 7 and Watch Ultra don't differ much. The Watch 7 also analyzes your data with Galaxy AI, so you can discover whether you're training and moving effectively. The Galaxy Watch 7 doesn't have an emergency signal. So you can't call for help when you're lost in nature. You can also track all your basic data like your steps, stairs, heart rate, and sleep with the Ultra and Watch 7, of course.
Watch FE: basic functions
The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE also tracks all your basic data. You can see your daily steps, your sleep duration, and your heart rate. The Watch FE doesn't have Galaxy AI, so you get less personal tips and insight into your sports and health data. It also doesn't have an emergency signal to call for help. And you can choose from less sports profiles than with the Watch 7 or Watch Ultra.
