I don't know if it was an upate the one that made the battery last way more than when recently bought.
Overall the watch response to open an app or measure your heartbeat is remarkable, if you like to measure your workouts while looking at your accurate bpm this watch is a very good option to do so, don't hesitate
I love the new watch but it had a very rocky start with the battery life decreasing quickly. However, once Samsung sent through a software update (about a week ago) it fixed the problem completely. I've had the watch for about 3 weeks now and discover something new everyday. I recommend this watch to technology enthusiasts and those who have/love Samsung products.
They changed to a cheap wristband rather than the great one with the 5 Pro Energy score doesn't work and the upgrades are minimal but battery length is good. They have the best trade in policy which is why this is my 4th Samsung Galaxy watch.

The watch looks nice and it's very light, sometimes I don't feel it's even there. I like how it's responsive, and the battery is not bad, lasts for a whole day. A one hour run with earbuds connected consumes only 20-30%.
It's my first smartwatch, and so far I like it a lot. I can answer a phone call using it, what's important to me because I keep forgetting where is my phone... And tracking my steps and activities during the day automatically is very good! The only thing is that you have to charge the battery every day.
I received the new Watch 7 a week ago after placing a pre-order a month ago.. I've traded my Watch 3 in and this watch seems to have a lesser battery life than the 4year old Watch 3 model.!! That being said the other features of the watch look good.. it has a smooth interface, the bezel looks good, got some good complements from folks who saw the new watch.. Hence the overall 3 stars..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
