One of the best upgrades I made this Black Friday.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Just upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 4. There are definitely a few more features that I can enjoy on this model that weren't on the previous generation. I feel more involved with the interactive tech in this watch.
I purchase this for my wife as a replacement for her Garmin whose watch band disintegrated and she had always had problems operating. Since she has a Samsung Galaxy phone I figured it would be an easy switch for her, and I was right. The only currently recognized draw back to this watch is the battery life. My wife's Garmin would last for four days on a charge. The watch 7 is lucky if it gets 2 days. It's very difficult to gauge sleep and movement when you have to constantly take your watch off to charge.
well the battery does die within a day. I have not found out why and i notice my phone battery dies sooner too now. I have not learned the watch totally yet- still trying!
The heart rate monitoring device on the back of the Galaxy Watch 7 is bulkier compared to the Galaxy Watch 6 and 8. This added thickness makes it uncomfortable to wear while sleeping at night. I am considering switching to the Galaxy Watch 8 to ensure I can comfortably wear it during sleep.
The batter life is horrible. Even if I turn off all the features, signals and put the watch in sleep mode. The battery drops from 100% to 40% after a 7 hours sleep
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
