Many great features on this watch. Upgraded from the Watch4 to see if the heart rate monitor was more accurate. Unfortunately, it never seems to match the other devices I use specifically designed as such.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about the Galaxy Watch7, Charlie. Even when you wear your smartwatch or fitness band correctly, various factors can affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. Heart rate measurements may not be reliable depending on the conditions and surroundings. If readings are taken at low temperatures, they may be inaccurate, so it's important to keep yourself warm while measuring your heart rate. Additionally, if the heart rate sensor is dirty, clean it using a soft, dry cloth before trying again. Obstructions between the watch band and your wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects, can prevent light from reflecting evenly. Other factors include smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements, which can lead to different heart rate readings compared to your normal rate. It's also important to avoid talking, yawning, or breathing deeply while measuring your heart rate. Users with thin wrists may experience inaccurate readings, and measurements taken for infants and toddlers may also be unreliable. If your smartwatch or fitness band is still not reading your heart rate correctly, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this. Check out the link attached for options to help troubleshoot.

All around fantastic smart watch and a real step up from the Galaxy Watch 5 that I traded in. Getting close to 3 days between charges and the screen is awesome. Very pleased with my purchase and trade in deal.
I'm impressed. I didn't think the battery life would be that great but its better than expected! Only issue would be a better watch band. One with no gap.
I have tried different watches and never able to wear longer than a week. I got this watch with a trade in and have been wearing it a few weeks now. Simple and functional. Using things I never thought I would like workout tracker and tap to pay. Also the gps.
The watch has some nice features. I gave it a 3 star rating for two reasons. First the battery life is terrible. It lasts less than 10 hours. Second is that it has the AI feature but my phone is an S 21 so its not compatible. The software update was only for S 22 and above. Since I don't want to pay for a new phone at this time, it's a useless feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I've always had a Galaxy watch, from the Classic that was my first one, I held onto that watch for 4 years, and then I finally got the G. Watch 4 with the rotating bezel, loved it, but since Samsung has a great trade in value, I got the Watch 5 FE, which it was faster than my last one, now since the great trade in value Samsung has, now I wonder how they are going to top this one, because this is a great watch, the battery life is so much better, I could easily get 2 and a half days on, and how fast the apps come in when u touch them, right now I miss my Samsung phone, because of the connectivity between all the products I have is Samsung, my tv, tablet and my washer and dryer, sad to say I'm working with a Motorola, I tell you, I truly miss my Samsung phone, but anyway, I just wanted to say what a great watch the 7 is, in every way possible. Thanks Samsung and keep up the wonderful work that you do.
