I love the 44mm Watch 7. It replaces my Galaxy 5 Classic watch. It's much faster and more fluid and has excellent battery life. I charge it every morning while I'm getting ready for work and it's between 65-75% battery just before I go to bed. I typically put it on the charger again while getting ready for bed even though it's not necessary. By morning, only 10-15% of the battery is used. This is all with the settings screen always on, location on, wifi, and Bluetooth on. Additionally, I usually turn the GPS on while I walk my dog for 10-15 minutes a day. On some days when I left it on for over an hour while visiting colleges, battery life was still excellent.
Functionally, it doesn't offer many new features over my Watch 5 Classic. The only thing that comes to mind is that SpO2 max shows up even on shorter walks or runs. However, the GPS is way more accurate. No longer does it look like I walked on my neighbor's lawn or took some other funky route when under tree cover. All in all, a nice upgrade from my previous watch.
A horrible battery life not lasting even 24 hours. Also, the gap between glass and metal very easy gets dust and dust trap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The customization is great on this watch. I love all the features. It has great seamless actions across apps and is easy to use. Can't wait to find all the great features hiding in this little package.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not owned any watches for a couple decades, so I am extremely surprised at the quality, functionality, and ease of using the Galaxy 7 Watch. Setup was very much streamlined with both our Samsung phones and the dedicated Samsung device apps made it a seamless process. The integration of Samsung health and monitoring is phenominal, although I am awaiting them to add blood pressure capability (FDA clearance) I hope they can clear this, it would make purchasing a device like this a no brainer for health management. Lastly, the addition of greater health optimization options like stress management is excellent. We were fortunate to be able to bundle this watch with a phone purchase which made it a no brainer purchase, Samsung was extremely generous in pricing. These new watches are a must have.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the watch overall, I've become healthier with this watch. I like the size of the 44mm because it sits better on my wrist. The sensor accuracy is much better overall. Same for the battery duration.
