This watch is right over a year old and now with the current update it will only last a day on a full charge. My last watch lasted 2 1/2 years. I've always had a Samsung watch and phone but now neither stay charged.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Battery and Feature Drain
on July 27, 2024

Very disappointed. The battery is still bad. I have to charge twice a day even though I have power saving turned on and all the perks turned off. Also, it won't turn on sleep score or any of the sleep tracking factors. Rebooted, reset, deleted data, tried it all and still does not work. Really regretting this purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

terrible battery performance
on August 3, 2024
Posted by: PaulR
Initially, the battery lasted about 48 hours, I was very happy, but now a week later it will not make it thru a single day. Google Assistant disabled, Always On Display turned off, doesn't make any difference. Terrible experience, and wish I hadn't traded-in my Watch4.

The batter life is horrible. Even if I turn off all the features, signals and put the watch in sleep mode. The battery drops from 100% to 40% after a 7 hours sleep

Cool watch with tons of cool features, but the battery is horrible. I've had a galaxy gear s2, an s3 frontier, and a watch 5, and ALL the older batteries outperformed the watch 7 battery duration.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there! We really appreciate your honest feedback. Your input is crucial as we strive to make improvements. We noticed that you contacted us about the Watch7. The Watch7 offers improved Heart Rate Tracking with Galaxy AI, which filters out your body's movements for a more accurate reading, allowing you to get the most out of your workouts. If your watch's battery is draining quickly, we recommend making sure that your watch is up to date with the latest available software.

DO NOT "UPGRADE"
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: Vivi
Expertise:Expert
I had a galaxy watch 6 which I LOVED before this. the galaxy watch 7 is a complete downgrade.
watch overheats when charging and shuts off battery life is worse it's bulkier on the wrist bands from watch 6 don't fit right included bands are uncomfortable and hard to take off
BIGGEST ISSUE TO ME: they removed the wireless power share feature, I used that feature daily on my Galaxy watch 6 while showering at the gym, their was no disclosure that this feature was removed and I find that ridiculous.
DO NOT BUY THIS
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
