I am upgrading from a Samsung S2 watch. This 40mm is only slightly larger than my old one (39mm). I have the display set to 60%, bluetooth on, wifi on, location on. I do not wear it while sleeping. I find that it holds a charge for 2 days before needing to be charged. Much longer that my old S2. I have been playing with it for a couple weeks now and just love it!! I was even able to put my old watchband on this one and lose the ugly/cheap green thing.

This is my 3rd Galaxy watch. I have always preferred the smaller size as the bigger watches look like I'm wearing a phone on my wrist. I swapped bands to get a more traditional look, and many people comment on that as they often don't realize it's a smart watch. I would like to see more options for case finish. Brushed SS or brass/chrome plate or such for a more conservative look would be nice.

It's easy to use and a great update from my current samsung watch. Love it

Love this thing. Notifications are super improved infeel like, also came from a Watch3. But man crisp and light. Really do wish that we get some new battery tech soon to make these bad boys last a Solid 2 days instead of like 1.5 1.6 days.

Good battery life, excellent Android phone integration. Highly recommended after-market bands for better comfort. As a non- Samsung phone user (OnePlus Open), I am satisfied with this watch. Just keep charging randomly ( while working on your laptop, or when in the shower, etc). A little daily charging, maybe 20-30 min, can keep you going non-stop.

Awesome upgrade from galaxy watch 4. I was ready to try a newer faster watch.

Verry good love it fits nice works perfect perfect size

I had 5 before that was running fine, but started to lag a tad. Best Buy had an amazing deal on this one and I wish I had bought one sooner! The face is huge compared to the five but it's the same size as my old one. Battery lasts a lot longer. The graphics are clear and easier to see. No complaints here!

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.

I brought this for my wife and she loves it. Battery life is not great but it charges fast
