Terrible battery in an otherwise excellent watch
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The galaxy watch 7 ticks all the boxes. Great features, classic design, a beautiful bright screen, deep health and workout tracking features, integrations with a ton of apps ... but none of that matters if the battery is always dead (which it is) Out of the box you get the watch with its included band (looks good!), and the wireless charger. Samsung continues to provide the shortest charging cables ever made, and the slowest charging speeds possible. Just slap a type-c port with fast charging on here or something instead of ultra slow wireless charging. This sucks Setup is easy enough. Grab the samsung wearables app, connect to the watch and you're off. You will be prompted to update the watch, and you should. The default watch face is useless to me, as I like to see that "smart" data at a glance. Fortunately samsung has a huge variety of watch faces available that offer high customization and quick access to all of the data you'd like to see. I prefer a minimalist watch face, but I also like having daily activity goals displayed. Luckily there was a perfect face for my use case. There are also paid options but, come on. The samsung "health" app has all of the stuff you would expect: activity goals, heart rate monitoring, step tracking, automatic workout detection etc etc. New to me are the skin temperature, blood oxygen level, sleep apnea detection, and ECG features. You will need to download two apps though to have all of these features, which is both inconvenient and confusing. All of the more traditional features are housed in the samsung "health" app. Not to be confused with the "samsung health" app. Confused? Yeah no surprise. The app that holds most of your features and the one you'll interact with the most is called "health" (from samsung). Sleep apnea detection and ECG are locked behind a separate app called "samsung health" (also from samsung). This is a needless complication that shunts two features into a separate app when they could've just as easily been on the main menu or in a tab of the other app. I have no idea why this was done. It makes no sense. That's most of what there is to the galaxy watch 7, but we have to talk about battery life. It's awful. For four or five days when you go into the wearables app to check out your battery life you won't get that information. Instead you'll see a message stating "learning your usage patterns". The idea here is that the watch will change its behavior based on how you use it. Presumably managing background apps power states and the like, to maximize efficiency. Cool. On my first full day with the watch I get up at 5, walk the dog, and immediately put the watch on the charger when I get back inside. At this point the watch had 24% battery remaining, but I had only used it from 9pm the night before. So I go about my routine, checking emails, having a coffee ... just waiting for the watch to hit 100%. That took almost 80 minutes, well over an hour. This thing charges painfully slowly, no big deal if I'm charging in the morning right? That's the problem. By 6pm on that first day the watch was at 14%. That's 86% battery drain in 13 hours. That feels really bad. I want the watch to be able to capture all of my sleep data so I charge it up when it hits around 10% (which again takes forever). I get up the next morning and it's rinse and repeat for a few days. Then it happens. The watch has learned my usage patterns! Here comes that sweet sweet battery life bump. 17hr and 25 minutes, not bad! Well actually that is kind of bad. If I want the watch to make it to the next morning I'm going to have to charge before bed. Bummer. So I decide to turn down the brightness of the AOD a little bit, disable NFC because I don't save payments to my devices. See how that goes ... nah. Dead by morning. So I give it a full charge, this time taking over 90 minutes, and I go look at my battery and - what have we here??! It now says my battery will get me 16 hours and 43 minutes of time. What happened to that 42 minutes? Oh well, I'm only on day 2 of the battery having "learned" my usage and my battery life is dropping dramatically. This is unacceptable. A smart watch should be, at a minimum, a 24hr device. The galaxy watch 7 cannot come close to that. Oh there are power saving features that promise to extend your up-time, but it involves disabling all of the smart features of the smart watch. What good is 24 hours of up-time if none of the activity data is being captured by the watch? It's just a regular watch ... a regular watch that'll still die in little more than a day. You can't even use it as a regular watch at this point because power saving disables raise wrist to wake. This is unbelievably bad. This is not a good product. Great hardware. Great software. Great design. Abysmal battery life. I cannot recommend this watch to anyone looking to add a wearable to their daily routine. These things should disappear into the background. You shouldn't have to constantly be worrying about your remaining battery life, nor should you have to charge the watch multiple times a day just to eke out a full 24 hours. Samsung missed the boat on this one.

Top Notch Watch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is it an excellent product? Yes! I purchased this as a gift for my wife, but it is a product we have been using for many years. She loves the new look and the easy transition from her last Samsung smartwatch to a newer version. Easy functionality and a comfortable fit. Samsung quality is top notch.

A watch packed with features!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch has great features such as step count, compass, weather etc. Multiple watch faces, ECG, heart rate etc. Band changes are easy and quick. The only thing that i wish was better, is battery life. However, I dont wear to bed so not so much a problem for me. Being able to answer and make calls is helpful and getting emails and texts is convenient. Also, I have a very small wrist and the 40mm works well.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung is always rockstar for me. It's really worth product to have on my wrist. Looking at its usage and features it is best deal I got. Feature loaded in it. No comparison with price and it's features with any brand. Getting into Samsung family now. Next one in my radar is Samsung ring.

Great watch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great watch, only two downsides are the battery life which would be great if it was a little longer and the bezel is straight drop off causing it to easily get scratched. The actual functionality and look of it overall are great.

Nice watch. Seems to be missing some watch 3 featu
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this watch to replace my galaxy watch 3. I miss the dial on the face that lets you get to the fitness menu that the watch 3 had. And it is not as easy to respond to text on the watch using text to speech as the watch 3. But overall I like the watch. I still don't know how to get into the fitness menu, or if it even has one.

Galaxy Watch 6 And 7
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY GALAXY WATCH 7!!!!!! First one I had was the 6 and then upgraded to the 7 when it came out last year and I really liked the 7 quite a bit better especially the way the screen has a raise up from the screen it's self. "You would literally have to see and compare the 2 to see this lol" its not too aweful noticable but I definitely noticed it right off. Its not a big deal or dealbreaker by far and the watch 6 is stunning I just liked the looks of the 7 better is all. Love these watches....

A Fantastic Wearable with Minor Band Limitations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is truly an impressive device that blends style, functionality, and performance. From the moment I put it on, it felt like a seamless extension of my lifestyle. The watch’s sleek design, bright and responsive display, and smooth performance make it a joy to use every day. What stands out most for me is the wealth of features. Whether tracking workouts, monitoring sleep, or staying connected with notifications, the Galaxy Watch 7 handles it all effortlessly. Its health insights are detailed, and the fitness tracking is accurate, making it a great companion for anyone focused on wellness. Battery life is solid, lasting me well through the day with moderate usage. The rotating bezel is intuitive, and the integration with apps and my phone has been flawless. The only con? The band options. There are just three choices to pick from, which feels limiting, especially considering how customizable the rest of the watch is. That said, the band itself is comfortable and durable. I do hope Samsung expands the selection in the future. Overall, I love this watch. It’s stylish, reliable, and packed with useful features. Despite the limited band options, it’s a fantastic wearable that I highly recommend!
