Customer Ratings & Reviews

My wife previously had a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, which served her well and lasted over 4 years. However, due to age and wear, it finally was time to purchase a new watch for her. We had read the reviews on the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 which had just debuted, as well as the reviews of last year's Galaxy Watch 7 and we chose to go with the tried and true version of the 7. Our local Best Buy had that model with the cream color band which she loves! The purchase was easy, as it always is at Best Buy and the setup could not have been easier. Even though her old watch was not working anymore, the Samsung Galaxy Wear and Health apps that she had on both her old watch and her Galaxy S24 phone, had stored all of her previous information, so transferring that content to her new watch was seamless and quick. She likes the new technology, apps and features that are available on her new watch, which were not available on her older Galaxy Active 2! She also commented that the comfort of wearing her new watch with the band that it came with, makes her feel like shes not wearing anything. It's so comfortable! In short, an amazing upgrade for her and at a great price!

I'm just giving my review of my Watch that I just bought a few days ago and here is what I think about it. I came to the conclusion of buying the Watch 7 for two reasons. The first is that it is one of the only watch brands that has support for LTE and that I would want to do simple things like reading messages or making payments on the watch itself in cases when I forgot to bring my phone or didn't really need to bring my phone and the Watch 7 does that really well. What I like about the Watch 7 is the simplicity of it and having the things that I need. I like how it automatically starts to track my calories burned and the steps I make when I start walking, the data is pretty darn accurate for a lot of things and it has simple achievements that is a pro like getting 10000 steps for example. Samsung Pay is a serious BOON to me but of course this only works if the retailers and merchants offer NFC credit card machines. Would have loved the option to use UPI app of sorts to fix this issue. Call quality is pretty decent so I don't have too many problems there either. What I don't like is that the watch lags a bit which is a serious bummer especially considering that this is Samsung and you would expect a smooth lag free use considering you're not going to use the watch a lot compared to the phone. Another bummer is the battery life. I get that you can't expect the watch to last as long as your phone but the watch barely lasts a day for even the simplest things that I do on it and I even turn off the mobile data when I don't use it. Not to mention that wireless charging support is not there in this whatsoever so you're stuck with using that proprietary charger that it comes with and honestly I think I regret buying this watch over the Ultra JUST for that reason. Because I otherwise would love to use the other features like sleep to track my sleep if it weren't for the terrible battery life. The other minor gripe I have is that certain apps have to make you use the Samsung phone inorder to get the most out of it which for setting up just for the LTE is stupid because I had to actually borrow my mom's S23 Ultra to set it up and Switch it back to my non-samsung phone. And this is a bit of a nitpick but the straps have this button at the back which is pretty hard to take off and put back in atleast for me. I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem at hand. The only other bummers I have is that you don't get amazon pay support in the watch but I suppose that's more on Amazon's problem and not really Samsung's fault on that. But other than that, the watch is pretty solid overall as someone who is venturing into the Samsung watch series the first time. Hopefully the next watch or who knows maybe more updates on the Watch 7 can make me like the Samsung watches a bit more.

Wife loves it! She loves the look and very comfortable too! It linked up with her Samsung phone flawlessly and says it is so easy to use. She loves that it is more accurate counting her steps than her FitBit too. If you have a Samsung phone, it’s the best way to go for a smartwatch. Only with the battery lasted longer.

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.

Very easy to operate. There are many health features, one of the best is the help it offers for keeping up with healthy sleeping. This feature has been very insightful for myself as a very busy mom and professional people leader having more to do than time in the day. Also, there is a very bright flashlight feature that turns the face of the watch in to a light. It is sleek in design. Love it!

I recently received the new Samsung Galaxy Watch7 with Bluetooth. I have purchased many different Samsung smartwatches over the years, and I am pleased with the good quality components used in the latest watch. The Watch 7 works great with the Samsung health app so I can track my heart rate and time spent walking or exercising during the day. I like that it can also monitor your blood oxygen levels throughout the day. I utilize the notifications you can set for when my heart rate is indicator is above a certain level to make sure I am aware that I need to take a break from whatever I am doing so the level can go back down. I also like being able to customize the watch with different display faces along with the variety of apps I have available to use while wearing it. I also like that Samsung makes it easy to change out different colors and types of watch bands that work with the new watch. I needed a bigger size band than what came with my watch and ordered a new one to make it even more comfortable while wearing. Overall, I am very pleased with Samsung’s latest edition of the smart watch products.

Perfect size watch that is light and comfortable. So many useful features that are fun to learn. Another great product by Samsung. Will enjoy for many years to come.

Wow, this watch really surprised me, really good battery performance, is so light I bought it for my wife I got me thinking the performance in general is so amazing for that money.

I love it the watch. It works super good. It charge fast to get $100.

got this for my mother since her old watch didnt want to charge this one is fast and a good upgrade!

Great watch. Has great features. I have owed other watches and this is the best one, especially for health tracking. It automatically detects when I am walking. It receives notifications from many apps. Perfect watch!

I like this watch.It's very useful tells you basically everything you want to know.And it's comfortable and easy to use i don't like the shape of the new 8 so I will stick with this one until the change.The shape back to round, stop trying to copy apple

I love my new watch ! It is capablev is so many functions and the battery life is about 2 days and it charges in less than an hour.

I got the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 (40mm, Cream) as a gift for my aunt, and she’s absolutely loving it! Great product for the price, especially with all the health tracking features. It’s sleek, easy to use, and it has useful gadgets. Perfect choice if you’re looking for a smartwatch that delivers great value.

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 had a Samsung Watch 4 and needed an upgrade. After careful research and reading reviews, I decided on the Watch7. It does everything I need and want it to do. For me, the battery life is longer and I can choose the settings that work for me. I do a bit of walking and some aerobic movement from time to time, and have no interest in using the watch for other purposes, other than for telling time. As someone who is not tech savvy (and at 71 have no intention to be!) this was an easy setup for me. This watch is everything I could want in a smartwatch!

So far so good. Does what its supposed to. I like setting a countdown timer directly from the watch. And seeing my texts and email without looking for my phone.

I reallly love this watch , super fast and great battery life , great features, has become one of my favorite watches , best accessory that i bought and worth the money, for being a 2024 model excellent condition

Love the design and function. This watch is comfortable and easy to set up. It does need daily charging

Great watch. Lots of fun features. Perfect for what I need in a smart watch. Love the green strap it came with as well!
