I was really happy with this watch for about a half a day until I noticed the battery draining. I get far less than 24 hours of battery life per charge so in order to keep my watch from dying I have to put it on the charger twice a day. Had I known I never would have gotten it and I would advise anyone who's thinking about buying one to wait and see when and if Samsung can solve this problem.

I like the new design, it's a little more bigger than my last watch and a much brighter screen... A perfect change if you have the 4 or 5 and don't wanna go for the ultra
Battery is still poor, very less. Rest is just fine not significant update from last one

Have been very pleased with the watch so far. Features are very well thought out. The recent update greatly improved battery life to where I feel comfortable sleeping with it on and not having to put it on the charger overnight.
Overall I think the Galaxy Watch 7 is a big improvement over the Watch 5. The UI is bigger and more pleasing to look at, and the watch faces are more informative and look a bit better. The battery life is stellar for my usage, I rarely see anything less than 70% after 1 day which makes me more comfortable to use the sleep detection feature.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great battery life, sleek, fits great. Awesome galaxyAI features. Still exploring it, but love it so far!
