Needs longer battery life
on July 9, 2025
Posted by: Raggedyanne29
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it but wish the battery lasted much longer. Might trade in and upgrade to the 8 if the battery has improved much after unpacked event.

While the watch it does what it supposed to do I find that the battery life is not that great. I had Samsung watch in the past, one of the first ones, about 8 years ago, but the battery lasted longer. You have to make sure you charge it at least once a day. The good think is that charges fairly quick.
My primary reason for purchase was the 911 fall alert and backup phone. The other features seem for amusement, or impractical on such a small display. Battery life new was 7-8 hours, until I turned off most of the apps and bluetooth (this is LTE model), now lasts 40 hours. Website does not advise that some features, such as ECG heart monitor, only work when paired to a Samsung phone (I have a RAZR). Phone function is poor on bluetooth if more than 10 ft from paired phone, ok if using LTE. Took about 4 hours to setup & tweak (I'm a computer professional with 30+ yrs experience). Phone support was prompt & helpful , user manual is superficial lacking details for specs & setup options.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this watch! I wear it 24/7 only taking it off to charge it when I first wake up. I love that it tracks my sleep cycles. The fitness tracker is also amazing seeing as I'm a very active person. I upgraded from a older model and couldn't be happier. I bought my wife and daughter the galaxy watch 7 40mm right after I got mine and they Also love them. We have Samsung everything and love it (well besides our fridge. I wouldn't ever recommend a Samsung fridge j/s).
I am so disappointed that the watch bands you have designed and sold with the S7 watch is bulky too large and extremely uncomfortable... so very disappointing considering how much I have supported your product over the years
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this watch about a week ago. The battery is horrible despite running very few apps. I bought this to monitor sleep and daily activity but it lives on the charger. Really want to return it but I am probably stuck with it.
