Coming from watch 4 to watch 7, the look itself didn't change at all, cuts the learning curve, which is a good thing. The battery was pretty bad from the box that would only last about 14 hours with very light use - few times I didn't even have it on, just unplugged from charger then it died after 14 hours... But the update from early August seems to fix this problem drastically, the up time prolongs to over 2 days!
Battery life is horrible. Watch is dead after 5 hours. Tried to factory reset, even try to disable all the futures, still not helping. I see many people having same issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This watch can hold a charge longer than two days which is great since they removed the power share function. The sleep apnea test is also great since it validated what I though I might have and now time to go to the doctor.
Great for what I use it for. I love the health tracking, and the Samsung health app.I definitely looking to get the ring soon to pair with it. Can't wait!!!!
I figured that by now a watch would run for nearly a week before needing a recharge. Instead it would run less than 24 hours before needing a charge. After a recent update I'm now getting around 32 hours on a full charge.
Very happy with the Watch 7. Most importantly is the battery life. On the Watch 6, I would get at most 1 day. Now I am getting 2 days plus. Everything else as far as features is the same, but I have yet to explore everything.
