Galaxy Watch 7 name & models

The Galaxy Watch 7 is the regular Samsung wearable, which packs all the essential features and functions in a user-friendly and likeable circular design. This wearable is available in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm. You can also get it with GPS/Bluetooth-only or with LTE connectivity.

Galaxy Watch 7 reviews and comparisons

Galaxy Watch 7 design & display

The Galaxy Watch Ultra utilize an interesting design that essentially puts a circular display in a squircle case, which is definitely unique in the smartwatch world. It certainly looks like a mix between a regular Galaxy Watch and the Apple Watch Ultra. 

Taking a page from the Apple Watch Ultra book, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a third button in-between the regular once, which will possibly be customizable. The case is made of titanium and is watertight up to 100 meters, or 10 ATM, matching the Apple Watch Ultra 1&2. There's no rotating bezel on this model. 

There's a new Quick Button positioned between the regular ones on the right-hand side of the smartwatch. It's customizable and allows you to map different features and functions for quick access. There's also an emergency siren present on the smartwatch. 


This is what the Galaxy Watch Ultra might look like

What is Samsung doing with all that extra space? Hopefully filling all the space with a large battery that will push the endurance past the three days that one can use the 590mAh-clad Galaxy Watch 5 Pro!

In the case of the Galaxy Watch 7, we get a relatively compact, light, and minimal case design, made of aluminum. The regular Galaxy Watch 7 doesn't have a rotating bezel; instead, the bezel around the display is touch-sensitive, allowing you to swipe your finger across and navigate the interface. If it makes sense, the Galaxy Watch 6 looks a lot more like a regular smartwatch.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra comes with a 590mAh battery, which delivers up to 100 hours in standby mode and up to 48 hours of usage in Exercise Power Saving mode. The 44mm Watch 7 has a 425mAh battery while the 40mm boasts a smaller 300mAh battery. 

The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 come with a 3nm Exynos chipset, the W1000. 

What are the benefits of a 3nm chip in comparison with a 5nm one, like the chips in older Galaxy Watches? The smaller chip die introduces tons of performance and efficiency benefits, as well as a smaller chip footprint. This could help the Galaxy Watch 7 lineup score much better battery life and efficiency, always a crucial aspect on a smartwatch. 

Galaxy Watch 7 hardware, features, and software

The Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra come with Google's Wear OS 5. We expect that the Galaxy Watch 7 series will feature the same roster of health-monitoring and wellness goodies that were available on the previous models, PLUS some extra ones. As a refresher, here's what the Galaxy Watch 6 lineup had going for it as far as health features are considered:
