    So I have had the active 2 for extremely long time and finally after seven beautiful years it crapped out on me and I decided to try out this watch. Love the color it's definitely an upgrade from my cute little pink one. I love the features I love that you can do multiple different pictures all in all it's a good use and a great watch and was at a steal of a deal.

    We are very happy with the purchase; the watch is very good, and the battery lasts approximately two days with the screen only activating when I want to check the time. So far, we've only used the basic functions and have no complaints. The only improvement we would suggest is a longer battery life.

    Offers sleek design, fast performance, and impressive health tracking features like sleep apnea detection and AI-based Energy Score. It runs smoothly on Wear OS 5 and pairs best with Samsung phones. However, the battery life is average—often just about 24 hours—and some users report bugs like Bluetooth-related battery drain. Charging is decent, but no more reverse wireless support.

    Upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 5 to the 7. I wanted the 8 but got a better deal on this one. I really like it. I'm still learning all its function, but I'm loving the sleep coaching and the exercising. The battery life is okay. I have a watch face, that has lots of info on it, so I think it wears the battery down faster. I thought I wasn't going to like the band color, but I do. It stands out. I would recommend it!

    I bought this to replace a fitbit and it was a switch I should have made sooner. It was very easy to set up and easy to use. I like being able to send texts, view emails and other notifications without having to look at my phone. The one drawback is the battery life. On days when I'm active, I have to charge the watch every day. But other than that it is a very easy to use smart watch

    The Samsung Galaxy 7 is the perfect smartwatch for my wife based on form and function. The smaller face fits her wrist better and it still has all the necessary details and capacity for monitoring her vitals like pulse, ECG and steps to provide a health profile on demand.

    I am so loving this watch. What a great addition to my cell phone. I can catch text messages that I sometimes miss, I can answer a call, when my phone isn't handy, and the health tools that are available, I'm really just beginning to understand, but I love that they are at a fingers touch.

    Samsung hit it out of the park

    I want to preface this review by saying that our family is an android family and most the products we have is made by Samsung. We do have a couple of other different OS phones but we really prefer the androids. We have 2 Samsung Galaxy 6 watches in the house and really happy with them so far. This made me more excited to see what the new Galaxy 7 watch could do. Out of the box, everything seems quite the same. I really like the color scheme of the watch and green band. In my opinion it is very sporty and can be worn in 90% of places I will be. But if it's not your thing, a quick search online will find a ton of options to change bands and most at a very reasonable price. And Samsung made changing bands out super easy as well, just a quick press of a button on the back of the strap, that's it. Charging is super easy as well with a magnetic dock. Keeps the charging dock attached to the phone so there is no guessing. 2 side operating buttons has a great tactile feel when pressing them. Screen is super responsive and your swipes are effortless. And that is where the 7 really outshines the 6. The new hardwire really is better than last years. When I put the 6 next to the 7, every operation is quicker and more responsive. The screen are very similar but, imo, the 7 outdoors seems a bit easier to see. Typing is really enjoyable. I'm still not clear how with my big fingers that I can hit the correct letter 95% of the time. I really think it has to do with the watch and the software. But most of the time, I use voice to text and that in itself is awesome. So far, it has not made one mistake and has been able to understand what I say, even I think I'm saying it fast. So far, I'm really happy with this watch and can't really see anything that is negative.

    A smartwatch has proven to be very beneficial for me. I appreciate its ability to track various health metrics such as sleep patterns, walking activity, and general physical exertion. I would highly recommend it to individuals interested in monitoring their health outcomes. I only wish the battery were more powerful.

    My first brand name smart watch. Surprisingly, enjoyable. It is not too bulky that interfering with my movements like the previous smart watch. The strap and face hug nicely around my wrist that i don't remember it is on my wrist. Dirt and dust doesn’t stick on the watch too much. It is easy to clean and keep clean. I have to charged it at night, so i can not keep track of my sleep pattern. However, i was able to keep track of my nap to realized how tired i was that day. Overall, i was suprised by the functions and reading to know my state of health. Normally, i would drink soft drinks and energy drinks to push through the day. I can plan nap and other activities to get a more healthy habits. Still exploring other usages on this watch.

    Finally, a worthy upgrade

    Samsung's latest offering, the Galaxy Watch 7 40mm Bluetooth version has made a bold statement. I think this year's Galaxy Watch will put them back in the conversations for top smart watches for 2024. The last couple of years the Galaxy Watch line was stagnant in my opinion. There wasn't a big difference between watches versions 4-6. At least i didn't notice any major changes. After living with the Galaxy Watch 7, I can say that this is the upgrade I needed. Battery Life I can't say enough how greatly improved the battery life is on the Galaxy Watch 7 compared to their previous models. My Galaxy Watch 4 never made it through 1 whole day. I can easily get a day and a half worth of battery life now with the Watch 7. I can even leave on always-on-display and get a full days worth of battery. This is a huge improvement. I did not setup Google Assistant however, as it did cause battery drain issues on my previous Samsung watches. Features Since I have a Samsung phone, I am able to take advantage of all the neat features of the Galaxy Watch 7. I do use the health info that Samsung provides me as a guide to my personal health. Having the ability to attain some of my personal goals I set for myself is awesome. Here are some of my favs: 1. Sleep Apnea feature 2. Energy Score 3. Dual-frequency GPS 4. More efficient processor 5. Workout Tracker I'm super happy with the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. This latest version addresses a lot of the issues I had with the prior versions. If you are already in Samsung's ecosystem, this watch is a no-brainer. I would recommend giving this year's version a try. I don't think you will be disappointed with the enhancements Samsung included in the Galaxy Watch 7.

    I really like your new Galaxy Watch—it’s quickly become one of those things I didn’t realize I would enjoy this much. I appreciate how sleek and comfortable it feels on my wrist, and how naturally it fits into my daily routine. The features feel genuinely useful rather than gimmicky: tracking my activity, keeping me connected without pulling out my phone, and giving me quick insights at a glance. It feels polished, intuitive, and reliable, and there’s a satisfying sense that it’s helping me stay organized and a bit more on top of my day. Overall, it feels like a smart upgrade that I'm genuinely happy I made.

    Great watch, atrocious battery

    **Review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7** I have been a loyal user of Samsung's smartwatches for a few years now, having owned both the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and the Galaxy Watch 4. While I enjoyed many aspects of these watches, I have always found the battery life to be a weak point. The Galaxy Watch 4, in particular, needed to be charged at least once a day, which made it impossible to wear overnight without recharging. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Watch 7 has only exacerbated this issue. **Battery Life Issues** The battery life of the Galaxy Watch 7 is a significant disappointment. Even with moderate usage, the watch struggles to make it through an entire day, necessitating at least two charging sessions if the always-on display is active. This is particularly frustrating considering the advancements in technology that one would expect to see with each new generation. Instead, it seems that battery life has actually worsened with each iteration. **Impact of Switching to Wear OS** A notable factor in this decline in battery performance is Samsung's switch from Tizen OS to Wear OS. While Wear OS offers some advantages in terms of app availability and integration with other Android devices, it has clearly taken a toll on battery efficiency. This trade-off is quite disappointing, especially for users who rely on their smartwatch for extended periods throughout the day. **Design and Features** Despite these battery issues, the Galaxy Watch 7 does have its redeeming qualities. I appreciate its sleek design and the range of features it offers. The watch is stylish, comfortable to wear, and packed with functionalities that make it a great companion for daily use. However, these positives are overshadowed by the need for constant recharging. **Conclusion** In conclusion, while I like the design and features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, the battery life is simply unacceptable for a seventh-generation product. The 44mm version might offer a slight improvement, but it's not enough to justify the frequent need for charging. As a long-time Samsung smartwatch user, I am disappointed with the direction the company has taken with its latest model. I hope future versions will address these battery concerns and provide a more reliable experience for users.
