Nice upgrade, but battery life not the best. Seems like I need to keep the watch in battery saver mode for it to last more than a day and a half. Other than that, I like the larger size and the display is great. Also, the additional apps are a plus. Seamless Bluetooth connection to my Galaxy Z Fold 6.
It's OK since I got a great trade-in deal. It's definitely snappier than my good old Galaxy Watch4. But it must need some software tweaking, mine doesn't hold a charge all day with minimal use. Many complaints out there about that. I also miss the real bezel, although the virtual one works well. I put mine in a case to protect the exposed watch face.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice watch. Battery life is not really outstanding, could've been better. The bid downgrade is if you pair it with another non Samsung phone ( I have Google Pixel 9 Pro) you won't have blood pressure monitoring and EKG but you still pay the same price... If you can find it at the good discount, buy it.

Watch 7 is a nice upgrade from the 5. Didn't need to go crazy with the ultra, so this was the one to pick. Color selection on these is great. Got the green. 10/10 would recommend.
the battery is THE WORST!!!!! Dies everyday on me at noon. Extremely disappointed. Please don't tell me to update... I've done that it is updated!
