The Galaxy Watch 7 has become an indispensable element of my health monitoring system. From monitoring basics as my exercise to my sleep, my heart rate, my energy level, etc., the Watch has continued to impress. The Watch has also been good for several daily activities including taking my phone calls, reading and responding to my messages, etc. However, the wrist band is not that impressive. It is different but not really an upgrade over the Warch 4. An impressive watch nonetheless.
Great watch! I'm coming from a galaxy watch 3 to the 7. It's a nice upgrade! It paired with my new phone easily and it does all the things I need it to do, check texts, answer calls, play and pause music, track sleep, etc. Battery last 2 days (I don't have the screen on all the time). It's a great addition to my Galaxy S25! Definitely recommend, especially if you have other Samsung devices... makes everything easy to pair!
I'm disappointed with the battery life of the watch. I got the battery replaced and there's some improvement. You need to work on the battery life on your next upgrade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does virtually everything the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra does, except with a smaller battery life and no emergency siren. It’s got the same new optical heart rate sensor, the same new multi-band/dual-frequency GPS, and the same new Energy Score and other fitness-related metrics/features.
While the watch itself is fine in most regards, one thing I can't get past is the horrid battery life.
If you use the smartwatch as it's intended, the battery life lasts only a few hours. If you put the watch on bare bones power mode (as in 90% of the apps/watch uses are disabled) then you get a day out of the battery. And if you do that, then it completely negates the purpose of having a smartwatch.
I even have the watch a couple of weeks to kind of sync itself because a lot of people said that the watch needs time to update itself when you first get it, and that drains the battery quickly. But even 2 weeks later the watch still lasts barely a day.
I hope Samsung fixes this. I'd return it for a refund, but I already threw away my old smartwatch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
