My first ever smart watch

I was so excited to receive this watch. It is my first ever tracking watch. The battery is horrible. Tried the updates and not running apps. Can't even make it though my work day without it going dead. Total waste of money!! 💰 Whats the sense if I can't even get 8 hours out of receiving emails and texts.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for the outreach, Micky. Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we continue to make improvements. We see you reached out to share your experience with the Watch7. The Galaxy Watch7 enhances everyday well-being with personalized workouts and intelligent health monitoring capabilities. If you are experiencing a shortened battery even after updating your watch, we recommend running a diagnostic on your watch's battery. If your watch is paired with a Samsung phone you can use Samsung Members to perform a diagnostic on your watch battery. If it passes the test, you'll know the battery is in good condition. Check out the link attached for other options to help optimize your watch's battery. If this persists, reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003232/ smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus

Bigger Display to see amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is amazing to use good job samsung I can see out of it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Galaxy Watch7 with a trade-in offer for my Galaxy Watch Active 2 (which I loved) and I love the new features it has! I have small wrists so I stuck with the 40mm and I got it in the cream color with the sport band. It's comfortable to wear, I think even more so than the last watch I had. The interface is so nice to work with and feels smooth. Love that I can be very customizable with it. It helps me not miss calls when I'm out and about. Texting is easier than it was on the Active 2. When I'm at work I love that I can still wash my hands with it on without worry as I need to frequently in food service. I'm glad I made the upgrade!
I think the 7 is really the sweet spot when it comes to battery life. I get 1 day plus. Definitely lasts longer than my Ultra, my Watch 6 Classic and about equal to the Watch 5 Pro. I run mine very bright and with AOD. It is just the right size and weight. I honestly prefer it to the Ultra.

Very Impressive, aside from the USB-C charger
on August 23, 2024
Posted by: grochef
While I just got this watch, over all, I am very impressed.
The one big downside is the charger. The charger has a USB-C plug. Since this is still not universal, and the charger does not come with an adapter, it is nearly unusable, unless I plug it into my computer. Fortunately, the watch will charge on my old charger.
The watch band is another detractor. Once latched, the end of the band slides through a hole, and under the band. This is very awkward and is inconvenient to loosen.
Samsung needs to do much better at end user involvement.
My Galaxy watch 4 was great, but I wanted an upgrade. The 7 is wonderful. The battery life is excellent. I turned off the "always on" option and I can get through a day on less than 10% of the total charge. Extra features are quite good as well. For instance, there is an Energy Score that provides very similar results to my Morpheus Heart Rate monitor. While I am not concerned about sleep apnea, I am curious to see how this works. I do not have sufficient data to get a reading just yet.

I can honestly say this is hands down my favorite watch ever. The info gathered so far has been immensely insightful, especially for my healthcare team. The battery life improved after removing a few apps from the watch and tweaking the settings. I also found using watch faces & apps from Google Play drained the battery extremely fast - uninstall them, it makes a big difference. Samsung support thru the chat feature was fast and super helpful. So happy I purchased it, highly recommended!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My only complaint about the watch would be that sometimes it sticks to my wrist. This I attribute more to the fact that I have no hair to create any sort of barrier from the bare skin. I find this watch is everything you can want from a smart watch. Enough technology to measure everything important, enough screen space to display it all, and enough battery to complete the task. The green color is very grey actually but if you don't want to take any chances with the color, there are already many third party accessories to cover the watch with.
