Poor EKG function.
on September 9, 2025
Posted by: Sipde
from Bridgeport NY
Expertise:Intermediate
Very disappointed in the EKG function. More often than not it will say "Inconclusive " or worse tell me I'm in Afib when my Kardia device says normal sinus with pvc's. It could be really frightening for someone with an afib reading and not knowing it's not accurate. For the price I was hoping for better.

The watch and software experience seem really solid. However, it's unusable for what it's advertised to do. The battery barely makes it through half of the day. With pretty much everything turned off. No sleep tracking is possible it would die need to charge before bed and probably be dead before I woke up. I've had better battery life from every other smart watch I've ever owned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible Battery life. Even with most of the settings off such as "Always on display" "Location" "Vibrate" instead of sound, the battery doesn't even last the whole day from full 10% charge

Good watch, but with a problem for diabetics
on July 31, 2024
Posted by: mreilly
from Virginia
I bought new Galaxy Watch 7 44mm from the Samsung Store, but it will not work with the Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). This is apparently due to a substantial upgrade to the watch cpu. The Libre 3 worked with the previous Galaxy Watch models, showing the Libre 3 readout on the watch face. This was the reason I bought the Galaxy Watch 7. Now I need to wait in hope that Samsung, Abbott, or a 3rd party will develop a solution. When and if this is fixed by someone, or a work around is provided, then my review rating will be much higher.

Hey Mreilly. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Galaxy Watch7. We're glad to see that you are enjoying your watch overall despite the fact that one of your health monitoring apps is compatible at this time. In cases like these, it's best to reach out to the application developer for updates. We hope you've had a chance to check out the body composition measurement feature on your watch. A Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sensor measures your body's composition using just your fingertips. Set your targets for weight, body fat and muscle mass, and personalize programs to reach your health goals with accuracy. If you have any further concerns or questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin 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
It has done a great job tracks steps and monitoring my oxygen level and pulse.it is comfortable to wear when active and sleeping. What I am not thrilled with is that it does not necessarily communicate with the app on my phone accurately without opening the app on the watch. Overall I am happy with the upgrade from the Active 2.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible battery life

from Lemoore, California
I bought this about a month ago, and wish I could trade it in. I highly regret trading in my S5 watch. I want to trade in the S7 for cash towards the ultra, but have not found away because I dislike this watch so much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The watch is great if it's connected to your phone via Bluetooth. Other than texts there's effectively no LTE data capability though. The watch overheated all 3 times I tried streaming a podcast on a walk without my phone. Calls out of phone range kill the battery.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the Galaxy Watch7, Zach. We always love hearing from you! If you have an LTE smartwatch model, there are several reasons why it may not activate or may disconnect from your mobile network after pairing it with a new phone. Check out the link attached for options to help troubleshoot this. Whether you're using a phone, tablet, smartwatch, or earbuds, all Galaxy devices have a set temperature range, where they operate at their best. While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues. We've also attached a link to help troubleshoot this as well. If any of what you are experiencing continues, please reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003195/ (LTE) https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002887/ (overheating) 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
Not graleat battery life. The watch doesn't have good response to motions and doesn't do the functions intended to perform on those motions. Watch 6 was much better than watch 7
