Awful battery life and battery drain. Cool watch but might as well be a paper weight with the poor battery life. I can not make it through an 8 hour work day without it dying and if you leave it off the charger over night it loses 40% battery. I came from a watch 4 where you never had to worry about charging for at least 24 hours so this is ridiculous.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Watch loses charge and dies after 7 hours. I use it for step counting and have to charge it midday to be able to continue capturing steps. My daughter received same watch and hers is fine. I just received a lemon.

The Galaxy watch 7 goes above and beyond that the Galaxy watch 6 did. Heart rate is more consistent and accurate and so is the step tracker. The new band style on the Galaxy watch 7 is far more comfortable and stable than the band on the Galaxy watch 6.
