Overall, works well and battery life has been good enough. I use it a lot for running, and the GPS has been accurate. But on that note, the heart rate sensor leaves a lot to be desired. It's okay at best. At times, especially early in a run, it will peak to a very high and inaccurate number. Unfortunately, I can't pair the watch with an external Heart Rate Monitor, hopefully Samsung adds this function later on. Another complaint with workouts is you need to use the touch screen to start and end a workout (although you can pause with a button). This can be difficult when you are tired and have sweaty hands. Hopefully Samsung can fix this as well.
I like it for the smartwatch features and the watch is badequate enough for exercise. It ultimately comes down to what you are looking for, but overall, I'm happy with the purchase so far. If you use it for exercise and don't care about the Smartwatch features, there are better and cheaper options, but I find this watch to be an excellent compromise if you want both.
Comfortable watch and faster processing. I like the color and look. Could be improved I feel to do more things as it's not a big upgrade from the previous series.
I just mainly use my watch for monitoring my sleeping. Sometimes use it while exercising but overall I appreciate what it does as for input information between phone and watch. Keep in mind the 40mm battery doesn't last as long.
Love all the features that were added and the expanded battery from my watch 4 and watch 4 classic. One thing i did not know was that I would no longer be able to use Power share off of my phone to charge this watch. I felt like that was one of the best features.
I loved my Samsung Watch 7. The display is gorgeous. The watch response time is fast. The watch band is comfortable to wear at night. The watch monitor my sleep stages, energy score, sleep score, AGE index and my exercise activities. The battery life is improved over old Galaxy Watch. I am averaging two days of battery life which is very good for a smart watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First galaxy watch ever!
on August 7, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a first time user of the galaxy watch and must I say it did not disappoint. Initially my battery life was literally capped at 7-8 hours which had me nervous. All I needed was a little update and boom! Worked like a charm. At minimum I'm getting 24 hours of usage. I run a few apps daily but with the Galaxy AI improved sleep tracking feature im kind of hooked on it! It's my favorite thing to review in the morning. I just find it extremely interesting and informative and really digs into the dos and don'ts before bedtime. Learned more about my sleep patterns since I bought this watch.
