I won’t lie — I haven’t touched my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 in a while. I liked it when I reviewed it and thought it was worth buying (it’s since been replaced by the Galaxy Watch 8), but it had a few omissions that made me long for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, squircle design and all. One of those major misses was that Samsung saved a few of its best, most complicated watch faces for its top model, leaving me behind with others that were just fine.
Now, though, the tables have turned. I finally have the Galaxy Watch Ultra faces that I always wanted on my Galaxy Watch 7, and it’s breathed new life into this solid, stylish smartwatch. Here’s how I upgraded and why you should do the same.
