[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I'm enjoying the quick response time of opening apps and swiping through screens. The extra storage is great for downloading new apps and music. The Galaxy AI has been doing a pretty good job of coming up with responses for text messages. The health app seems to be pretty accurate for steps and when I take my bicycle out so no issues there. 2 issues I have are battery drain and not having a type C adapter coming with the charging cable. It sounds like Samsung is working on a fix for the battery life so I'm looking forward to that but they really should include a type C adapter for the cable as not everyone has a charger for that. Otherwise, great job on the galaxy watch 7 guys.
The battery life stinks! I feel like I had a longer battery in my previous watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just like the 6, only better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It features everything great about my previous version, for a small fee and trade-in, with better battery life. I'll look into the new features as we go, but was well worth the small upgrade fee. Haven't used the Galaxy AI features yet.
So far I really like this watch. It seems more snappy compared to my watch 5 that I traded in. The sensors seem to work a little better on this one. If Samsung keeps on this path I will be a lifelong Galaxy user. I plan on getting a Samsung phone when I upgrade next time so I can take advantage of the ECG and blood pressure. As I get older I like the fact I can get a better picture of my overall health. This even has a sleep apnea alert if you wear it while you sleep that lets you know if you should contact your physician.
Battery doesn't last 2 days. Can't take anywhere near for checking it out. Have to go 2 weeks without a watch if you want it checked out.

Amazing update
on July 31, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have the watch 5 which suffered from battery performance, that issue is completely gone with the new watch 7. I am able to get through 3 days of active use of the watch without any battery issues or performance issues with it's updated operating system. It gets me through my daily tasks and always updates me on my health monitoring. The new pinch feature is very useful when it comes to controlling music and calls. It's also very stylish and more comfortable to wear with the redesigned bands they come with now. Amazing upgrade and am hopeful of future updates to come for this device.

One major issue
on July 31, 2024
Posted by: Out to pasture
Battery life is no better than my old Watch 4 Classic. I didn't mind the lack of the rotating bezel, that is, until one major problem presented itself. I often wear long-sleeve shirts for work and working out. When I sweat, the wet sleeves trigger the touchscreen, randomly turning on various apps, dramatically reducing battery life. Otherwise, it would be a nice watch. On my 4 classic, the raised edges of the rotating bezel must prevent that from happening.
