This is my 4th Galaxy Watch. I went down to the 40mm for my Galaxy Watch 6 because the previous 44 seemed really large and caused pain when I bent my hand back. The bezel on the 6 was small, so the whole watch seemed small. As soon as the 7's came out and offered a good trade for the 6, I jumped on the 44mm Watch 7. Battery life is longer and it's easier to read the small details on some of the watch faces. I really like it a lot and have no complaints.
Compared to the galaxy watch 6 is great improvement. Keeps connected the whole time. The battery last the whole day also no need to recharge during the day. Very sensible . Overall samsung made a great improvement with this watch.
While marketed as green, the case it more of a brushed nickel look. After updates and AOD and raise to wake disabled I get about 2.5 days of battery life which is nearly a whole day more than my Galaxy Watch 4 44mm. I mainly upgraded to catch it before my GW4 battery completely died and the trade in deal was too good to pass up. Features wise the new recovery and sleep details are interesting but I am skeptical of the accuracy, otherwise it looks/feels just like the GW4.
Purchased the Galaxy Watch 7 via preorder and I love it. My battery lasts for several days. I only charge it 1-2 times a week. I wear it 24/7 to the gym, everywhere and I find it to be faster and more efficient than My Galaxy Watch 4. I love the watchband too because of the convenience of just buckling it like a regular watchband, and I don't have to slide the strap into a slot. More workouts choices and I can set each workout to my desired length.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to my Galaxy Watch 7 because almost all of the features it has made me want to upgrade. The Galaxy AI added so many cool new features! The battery life is much better, the screen is so much clearer and cleaner looking than my GW4. The performance is much smoother. I'm very happy that I upgraded. Even when I turn on the Always On Display the battery still makes it 37 hours. Without it I get around 53 hours. I am so happy that I upgraded. It is a definite improvement! If you have the chance to it!
