While the watch itself is fine in most regards, one thing I can't get past is the horrid battery life.
If you use the smartwatch as it's intended, the battery life lasts only a few hours. If you put the watch on bare bones power mode (as in 90% of the apps/watch uses are disabled) then you get a day out of the battery. And if you do that, then it completely negates the purpose of having a smartwatch.
I even have the watch a couple of weeks to kind of sync itself because a lot of people said that the watch needs time to update itself when you first get it, and that drains the battery quickly. But even 2 weeks later the watch still lasts barely a day.
I hope Samsung fixes this. I'd return it for a refund, but I already threw away my old smartwatch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Affordable smart watch with great features
on March 5, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does virtually everything the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra does, except with a smaller battery life and no emergency siren. It’s got the same new optical heart rate sensor, the same new multi-band/dual-frequency GPS, and the same new Energy Score and other fitness-related metrics/features.
The Galaxy Watch 7 has become an indispensable element of my health monitoring system. From monitoring basics as my exercise to my sleep, my heart rate, my energy level, etc., the Watch has continued to impress. The Watch has also been good for several daily activities including taking my phone calls, reading and responding to my messages, etc. However, the wrist band is not that impressive. It is different but not really an upgrade over the Warch 4. An impressive watch nonetheless.
I love this watch so much and its getting me to exercise more
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Watch 7 is an incredible piece of technology, seamlessly blending style, innovation, and advanced health tracking. Its sleek design, long battery life, and smart features make it the perfect companion for everyday life. From fitness tracking to seamless integration with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it truly enhances the user experience.
One feature I’d love to see added is blood pressure monitoring. Having this capability would take health tracking to the next level, offering even more valuable insights for users who want to stay on top of their well-being.
The Samsung Watch 7 is already amazing, but with blood pressure monitoring, it would be an absolute game-changer!

Love the seamlessness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Z Fold 5, Galaxy Buds, and now the Watch 7, so I'm very firmly in the Samsung environment. I love the seamless actions across apps! When I'm listening to music on my phone, a little Spotify icon pops up on my watch to control the music. It's a feature I use often.
My main reason for getting the watch is the ECG feature. I needed a better way to track my heart activity. I'm really impressed with how well it works! It gives me tangible evidence to take to my doctor to discuss further testing. I also use it for running and find it to be really accurate with tracking distance, steps, and heart rate throughout the duration of the workout. Overall, I'm really happy with the watch!
