I don't climb, swim, run, or dive off cliffs. I check the time. No one would describe me as "ultra," I'm arguably not the target market for the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. But I've been wearing it for almost two weeks (ever since Paris and Galaxy Unpacked), and I have some thoughts.
Don't misunderstand me, though; I am not the person to review this $649 / 599 / AU$1,299 adventure-seeker smart timepiece seeking to join our best smartwatch list, but I am a watch fan and have, for the better part of 14 days, put aside my Apple Watch Series 9 and all the fun analog watches I started wearing again earlier this year so that I could experience what has to be the largest wrist gadget I've ever put on my wrist.
At 47mm wide by 12.1mm thick and 60.5 grams, this watch is a wrist statement. There's never a time where I forget it's on my wrist. Sometimes, I feel it resting on the space between my wrist and the back of my hand, a nudging reminder that this watch is low on subtlety and high on performance (even if I'm not).
At 480 pixels by 480 pixels and 335 ppi, the Samsung Galaxy Display dwarfs virtually any smartwatch I've worn before, even the Apple Watch Series 9 (484x396 at 326 ppi). Naturally, the real comparison should be made with the Apple Watch Ultra but my experience with that adventure clock is limited to a quick tryout last September when Apple launched the Watch Ultra 2.
By the way, I get that many people see an almost uncomfortable level of similarity between the two Ultra watches, but I can also see the differences. One is the unusual shape of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, which is a perfectly round face in a squarish body. Apple Watch Ultra takes its cues from the rectangular shape of its non-ultra forbearers.
In any case, I think the Galaxy Watch Ultra screen, with its non-existent blank space between the display and hardware bezel, is a real triumph. I love looking at it, changing out faces (which offer a clarity that makes them look almost like real analog faces), and how its always-on screen is viewable from any angle.
Over the years, Samsung has had physical rotating bezels, touch bezels, and even no bezels on its Galaxy Watches. In the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, they have the best touch bezel I've ever used. First of all, it's subtle. Instead of a wide band that looks like a design element, this looks like a classic chronograph bezel. Running my finger around the edge spins me through watch features, delivering a little haptic bump for each one.
Samsung's Dynamic Lug system for adding and removing the band is one I'd love to see on every smartwatch. It's so simple, sure, and satisfying to use. All it takes is a button press and a pull to remove. This makes attaching the band even easier: just push the band into the slot, and it snaps into place. I only wish I had more watch band options to try.
One of the marquee features of the new Galaxy Watch Ultra is the new Energy Score. It's an amalgam of various health metrics, including heart rate, sleep, and activity, and, as I learned, it is not the kind of measurement you can compare with others (no: "Hey, what's your Energy score? Mine is..."). Basically, it's a score about how well your human batteries are charged for the day ahead, and if the energy score is low, Galaxy AI is supposed to offer tips for raising it.
The art of the smartwatch is now almost as fixed as that of the traditional analog watch. So much of what I discovered and can do with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is obvious to me because I've been doing it or something similar to it before on the Apple Watch Series 9 and various other smartwatches.
Yes, it notices when I've been sitting for too long, prompts me to move, and, of course, commends me when I do so. In the world of smartwatches, there may be no other way to do this. I envision a future where people won't ever stand up without their wearable telling them to do so.
When I summon my favorite workout with the Quick Button (yes, just like the Apple Watch Ultra's Action Button) running the workout, pausing, and ending it doesn't look much different from what Apple offers.
Days and days of battery life, that's what you can expect with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, even without turning on the power-saving mode. As I write this, it's been more than a day since I charged the Watch Ultra, and I have more than two days left on the charge. if I enabled power-saving, I'd have four days.
Shogun Ultra is your gateway to amazingly fast and productive cloud workflows. So much more than a super-bright monitor recorder, it takes you to new heights of productivity and collaborative creativity. Work faster, work better.
H.265 is a popular codec choice due to its low bandwidth requirements and smaller file sizes. With H.265, you can store more video, stream in better quality, and edit and publish directly from the cloud for fast turnaround video social media posts. This eBook is for anyone considering using H.265 as a recording format.
Shogun Ultra has two faces: Local and Cloud. Use it conventionally, and you have an incredible HDR screen, new monitoring tools and both HDMI and 12G-SDI. Turn on its wireless and network capabilities, and you have access to new and productive cloud workflows like camera to cloud and Atomos Edit. You can even edit your project in the cloud and publish directly to social media within minutes of shooting the action.
In addition to network and SDI connectivity, you get access to super-efficient cloud workflows, and you can cross-convert between HDMI and SDI. Take advantage of the new, ultra-fast and reliable WiFI 6E for more stable connections. Shogun Ultra, which can be remote-controlled over Bluetooth with AtomRemote App, is the most practical and affordable way to stream, transfer and edit in the cloud.
SegmentPro is another powerful new tool exclusive to our completely redesigned AtomOS 11 operating system. It allows you to segment/split long recordings into user-defined chunks, adding even more flexibility to the production workflow. The segmenting can be defined by setting a custom file size limit, in GB or TB, or by time, all without dropping a frame.
Apple ProRes is pre-activated to use out of the box, so you can start shooting immediately. To activate H.265 and DNx, visit my.atomos.com to register your Shogun and follow the simple online instructions.
To activate Apple ProRes RAW, you need to go to my.atomos.com. There is a small additional step to get an activation token to access the codec for free. Simply plug in your compatible RAW camera to complete the process. You only need to do it once to unlock this super-flexible and unique codec without time restrictions.
Shogun Ultra supports live streaming to a range of online services including acebook Live, Twitch, YouTube, and custom RTMP/S. With Wi-Fi 6E, Gigabit Ethernet, and the ability to join cellular hotspots all built-in, Shogun CONNECT helps filmmakers, streamers, and video content producers reach their audience from anywhere.
From individuals to large-scale cinema productions, Shogun Ultra has been built to fit into any camera rig. It features a versatile mount that can be adapted to suit different industry-standard equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. Once locked in place the mount is highly secure and offers anti-rotation settings, so you can trust Shogun Ultra to remain in place at all times.
The AtomRemote app for iOS and macOS has an array of controls for Shogun Ultra. It lets you configure and control your Shogun from up to 15 meters away via Bluetooth LE while you define camera connections, select Gamma/EOTF and adjust Gamut settings. AtomRemote can control playback, select monitoring modes, apply custom 3D LUTs, and view image analysis tools, including exposure and focus. Output controls include options for 4K to HD, LUT preview and HDR output.
Shogun is designed to be versatile and meet the requirements of your workflow. Atomos understands the value in being able to select the format, quality, resolution, frame rate, or file size that best suits the needs of your production.
The ability to record up to 8K using advanced edit-ready formats including ProRes RAW, ProRes, and DNxHD/HR requires fast, robust, and expansive storage. Shogun Ultra supports removable SSD drives, which provide the space and sustained performance to meet these needs.
AtomX SSDmini drives are more compact than standard SATA SSDs and offer an affordable alternative to an SD card of similar capacity or performance. They support up to 4TB storage, sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 500MB/s. The AtomX SSDmini drives are able to record up to 150 minutes of 4K ProRes. Measuring 8cm long, 7.5cm wide and weighing as little as 88g, the custom-built drive neatly fits into the Shogun without impacting the overall footprint of the device.
