One of the best upgrades I made this Black Friday.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Just upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 4. There are definitely a few more features that I can enjoy on this model that weren't on the previous generation. I feel more involved with the interactive tech in this watch.
I got this because my friend had the same watch and I wanted to be more professional at work and not be constantly looking at my phone. It has proven very useful.
More features would be available to me if I had a Samsung phone, but I'm a Pixel user. I'm happy with the features that do work on my phone. Connects well to FitOn which is my workout app.
I purchase this for my wife as a replacement for her Garmin whose watch band disintegrated and she had always had problems operating. Since she has a Samsung Galaxy phone I figured it would be an easy switch for her, and I was right. The only currently recognized draw back to this watch is the battery life. My wife's Garmin would last for four days on a charge. The watch 7 is lucky if it gets 2 days. It's very difficult to gauge sleep and movement when you have to constantly take your watch off to charge.
well the battery does die within a day. I have not found out why and i notice my phone battery dies sooner too now. I have not learned the watch totally yet- still trying!
