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.

This watch is great! I had the galaxy watch 4 for years. The 7 is better, faster, and the battery lasts much longer. The design is the same and all of my old bands fit the new watch. I'm very happy with my purchase!
I had a galaxy watch 4 and loved it. So i upgraded to the galaxy watch 7. I thought it would be a mich better experience but I was wrong. The first night I wore it to bed for the sleep apnea feature and it did not work. Then I wanted to have the same option for watch faces by using facer and was unsuccessful, and then the biggest problem I have is with the battery. I charge to 100% everyday, and by 5 or 6 p.m. it needs charged again. With my galaxy watch 4 I could wear it all day up to the time i went to bed and then charge it. In my opinion, when you pay for something this expensive it should work without the problem of battery life. Don't waste yiur money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great watch! Great user interface! PLEASE start putting bigger batteries in your watchs. Garmin amoled watches can easily last 2 weeks on a charge and yours maybe 4 days. Thats my only gripe. Thanks for the trade in program too.
This watch is useless. It comes preloaded with many apps but the battery can not support it. The charge lasts less than a day. I had to shut down most apps which makes it just a watch that tells time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new watch and all the features included. It's so cool and makes things a lot easier for me. I use it for when I'm on my treadmill and working out instead of having to take and hold my phone everywhere I go and helps with steps and the reminders to get up for a walk or stretch. Convenient when I leave my phone upstairs too! I love the sleep app with everything it has to offer. I love this watchh its so easy and convenient. And I keep learning more from what it can do and offer and apps I can use on it. It's a must have.. Thank you Galaxy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using this watch, the features it has is nice. I wish this watch has a bezel that doesn't cost a lot more, this watch is really fun to use for music and workout. I plan to work out a lot ever since I got the watch. Overall amazing 👏 Battery could be more longer as it doesn't last long..
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.
