Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve tried nearly every Samsung watch going all the way back to the Gear Sport and have been disappointed with every model….until now. The Galaxy Watch 7 is finally the WearOS watch I’ve wanted with longer battery life, better fitness tracking, along with the classy looks of a Galaxy watch. I’ve been a long-time fan of Galaxy watches for the looks but the activity tracking has never been amazing. From sub-par GPS accuracy tracking my runs and bike rides to even less reliable heart rate accuracy, it was hard to actually rely on their previous watches. They may have offered a very robust set of smartwatch features but I want a watch that does both sides well - smarts as well as sports. With the Galaxy Watch 7, I’m finally happy with the fitness and health tracking where the workout tracking is dependable and reliable. Battery life is also a huge win with this generation of Galaxy watch and the efficiency gains with WearOS5 only help it further. It’s easily able to last a couple days vs before where it was maybe a little over a day. There’s much less stress at the end of the day when you want to track your sleep but only discover that you may not have enough battery left to last through the night. The longer battery life certainly helps with that. As a smartwatch, it works seamlessly with my Google Pixel 8 however there’s health features that require a Samsung phone which is a big bummer. ECG is the big one where this only works with Galaxy phones. Samsung obviously wants to sell more phones, just like any other company, but having those features limited to Samsung phones doesn’t put a great taste in my mouth. I’m still pleased with this watch overall but wished all the features were available for all Android phone users, especially since this is a WearOS watch.

In the process of testing this watch I used my fitness tracker as a baseline. I have been using a fitness tracker for over tens years now. The setup was pretty straight forward, but it still takes some time. You have to charge the watch before setup. It was tough deciding which apps I wanted to use and which ones where not necessary. I also took some time figuring out which watch face I wanted. I was happy with the one I chose, but I think I might try out some others. I like the convenience of looking at all of my phone notifications on my wrist. The biggest issue I had was that I cannot wear this watch all day to track my steps and my workout and then wear it at night to track my sleep. The battery life prevents this. This forced me to make a decision to only wear this watch on days that I go to the gym and I'm still reconsidering that. Another issue I have is with the bands, they are ugly. I guess that is a way to get people to buy another band. If it came with a better color or even a basic black band, I might wear it more often. When I'm going out I take it off for one of my nicer looking traditional watches. I was never that much of a smart watch person, I always wore a traditional watch and a discreet fitness tracker on the other arm. This Galaxy watch isn't going to get me to abandon my fitness tracker.

This is my third Galaxy smart watch. Prior to this, I had the 5 pro. While similar in some ways, there are also some distinctions. First, I like the profile better- There is no bevel that stands up so this is thinner. The invisible bevel does still allow you to swipe around and move between "pages" but it is very delicate so that it moves too quickly. I prefer to swipe side to side to get to different screens. Secondly, the battery life is MUCH shorter on this version. It could be all the animations and other things it is doing in the background that might be draining it faster than my other watches. I will have to play around and turn things off to see if that helps. I don't really want to turn things off though, these are the reasons I have a smart watch! The sleep app gives me more information. Some of the additions include movement during sleep and more detailed heart and respiratory rates. My sleep suffers so I am always monitoring my patterns. Some of the upgrades (that might be impacting the battery life!) are these cool animation watch faces. They point to the little dot in the 9 location when I have a notification. This way I never miss one! Transferring all my information from my previous Galaxy watch was easy with the wearable app. I just connected the new watch and it was seamless. The bands for my 5 Pro fit this was well so that's another plus. If it were not for the battery life, I would have given this 5 stars. My other watches (when new) would last 2 or more days before needing a charge. This does not even get me through a full day and night.

Great watch . Does everything it needs to. Band fits nice and its durable. Great gift.

This watch is packed with a wealth of features and will work with an Android phone running the latest Android versions. It will not work with older Android versions and many of the advanced health functions, such as EKG monitoring, will only work with a Samsung phone. I was able to connect it to a Pixel 7a phone with no issues. You will need to download the Samsung application, as well as a connector application to get notifications on a non-Samsung device. The watch band at first seems rather stiff, but once you put it on it is surprisingly comfortable. The watch is very light and easy to wear all day and night. The display is clear and bright. The default watch faces are clean and display all useful information for daily use. Navigation is easy with the touchscreen, hand gestures and the side buttons. The health functions do an excellent job of tracking exercises such as walking and running. It only takes about an hour to fully charge and the battery last about a day and half with moderate use. The full day charge is with the screen set to always on. The charger connects easily with a magnetic connector. The vibration function works well for notifications and can be supplemented with sound as well. I have been enjoying wearing it and it has become my primary daily smartwatch device.

Excellent service, Great watch. Delivered on time. Thanks.

Covers all the bases without being the price of the latest versions, works great

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas! I have one and love it so I knew she would love one as well. She likes that while she's busy gaming, drawing, cooking, whatever, she can see who is calling and even answer the call from her watch if needed. It was definitely a big hit.

I was a Fitbit user for many years and when my watch died on me I decided to try a different brand. Fitbit was not good at tracking distances on runs/walks and I was looking for a watch that had a more accurate GPS tracker. I did my research and saw the Samsung Galaxy 7 was accurate at GPS tracking among other health and fitness tracking features. I wore the Galaxy watch for a week before deciding it was not the watch for me. The look and fit are great, and it did track my walk/run distances accurately. It also tracked my heart rate during workouts accurately (something my Fitbit watch didn't always do, especially when my arms were down and not at a 90 degree angle). However, the battery life is terrible and it dies within about a day and a half. I did not use the text/call features and I wasn't constantly looking at my watch. Charging my watch every night is not something I am willing to put up with and it unreasonable. I was also surprised to see that my total calories burned in a day were significantly lower than what the Fitbit reported. I understand these are all calculated by algorithms and are not 100% accurate. I was noticing that on average if I burned 2,400 total calories with Fitbit, the Samsung watch reported 1,700 total calories burned. That's a big discrepancy! The calories burned during workout sessions appeared accurate, but the calories burned through daily living activities was way off. That was another big reason for wanting to try another smartwatch brand.

Great watch. Great service. Updates on shipping were quick. Delivery was handle with care

easy app to set up and keep track of activities. the dedign and functions are simplified for a child to use and understand. phone works thru Bluetooth no need to add a seprrate line.

Had this watch for a while, I have to say it's an accurate watch according to a polar strap is very similar to what it is in accuracy I know people complain about the battery life but after the update that Samsung came out with fix most of that battery is good now not great but good most watches aren't very good at battery life I highly recommend this watch

Awesome product. Does everything i wanted for. I couldn't have asked for a better smartwatch. Would highly recommend this to friends and family.

It's very comfortable to wear, it helps me with my scheduling for work, workout etc

I like samsunggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Unfortunately had to return watch as my phone was not compatible being an older phone.

Excellent watch, very fancy and comfortable, I can exchange the bands for different colors depending on my clothes, I love it

Packed with features and works nicely paired with my Samsung phone. I highly recommend it.

Love everything about it except for the battery life

Good quality watch at a great price. Samsung electronics is alway my choice.
