Poor battery life and sometimes the touchscreen doesn't read when it's touched even though it's not on water mode

We appreciate the outreach, Kyler. It's always great to hear from our valued customers. We noticed that you contacted us regarding your experience with the Galaxy Watch7. If the watch screen is slow to respond, frozen, or not responding at all, the issue could be caused by outdated software, a third-party app, or the watch's physical condition. Unclean hands, optional accessories, gloves, and sharp objects can also prevent the screen from responding properly. Please click on the link attached for troubleshooting options. Regarding the battery, it's highly recommended that you check and ensure that you are running the latest software version available for your Watch7. If any of this persists, please reach out to us at Samsung Support so that we can further assist you. -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003105/#:~:text=If%20the%20watch%20screen%20is,the%20screen%20from%20responding%20properly.

I should have kept my old watch. The battery doesn't last 24 hours.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A little disappointed
on November 30, 2025
Posted by: Old lady

I like my watch overall but just realized that if I take off my watch before getting out of bed, I lose the entire night's sleep data and analysis. BUMMER. I bought the watch mainly for health monitoring and it's still a learning experience.

I upgraded from a 4, so I had some expectations that there would be some noticeable improvements. I typically use the health features, as well as general notifications and watch features. I don't use the assistant or browser or many 3rd party apps.
So, mostly I don't notice a difference. The battery life is pretty meh, maybe a little improved(still have to disable most everything to get more than a day of life). The apps are all pretty much identical.
On the downside, there's currently some bugs in the new ui that are really very silly, such as being unable to disable notifications for some really obnoxious apps. No real new features that I've noticed.
I got a good deal with trade in, so for the little that cost me I'm happy. I'd never pay retail on it, though.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So cool and hip! It's very comfortable works just as expected. It connects automatically to my phone. I'm still learning all its features so may update later.
I would recommend this to a friend!
