Ok, got my watch 7 a couple days ago and have been playing with it. I wanted time with it before i made a accurate review. I am upgrading from a Samsung active 2 to the watch 7
The good: The watch size is big, screen feels and looks amazing. Theres no lag when scrolling or pressing the screen. I havnt tested the mic on it as of yet. I see people say the battery life sucks, honestly, i dont see it. I charged it up 2 days ago, i havnt charged it up since and still have 67% as of 3/25 at 1052pm. Maybe they have things running on it that i dont such as the AOD.
The bad: First off, the watch face store is now gone & watch faces are in the play store. So all the cool watch faces i had for my active 2 are just gone, i cant find them anywhere on my phone which is disappointing because i had some awsome halloween and christmas watch faces
The other issue tho i dont know if its the watch app itself or the samsung health is its not very accurate on the calories and miles count. Case in point, today i did 7.5 miles, the app said the watch tracked me at 6.8 miles. It also said i only burned 583 calories but any online caluclator said i burn over 800 calories.
Other then that, no issues at all. I love it, it looks nice and putting new bands on is ALOT easier then my active 2. That one was a pain to snap the bands on where as this one u just click the little button and it slides in.
I go with samsung products basically because almost every electronic in my house is a samsung and i never really have any issues with them. Heck, my 65" "premium" tv is over 12years old and it still works perfectly tho someday i want to upgrade it to 8k, lol.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this product connects seamlessly on all my devices. The voice to text option works great for my line of work when I cannot have my phone out. The health features are perfect for monitoring my heart rate, water intake, physical activity, sleep insights, stress levels, and overall well-being. The sound quality when using my watch for phone calls is phenomenal. I can hear clearly and the person I'm talking to also hear me clearly and cannot tell I am talking through my watch and not my phone. Sound quality when listening to music is great. The swipe text method works very well. An awesome feature is that you can change which way and which arm you decide to wear the watch. The option to find your phone with your watch works very well. The alarms on the watch work wonderfully. I love being able to set timers and create task lists. Being able to change the watch face to what I want it to look like and how it functions is a great addition for ease of use in my every day life. The battery life of the watch is surprisingly long. The amount of time it takes to fully charge the watch is the quickest I have ever experienced. I really love that I can still access the time on my watch even if the watch battery itself is dead or low. I like that when my watch is charging I will get a notification on my phone when my watch has fully charged. I love getting notified of milestones and targets I have reached in activity levels throughout the day. I like the medication reminders.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who hasn't owned many smartwatches this has been the favorite one I've owned. I had the Galaxy Watch 4 previously but this is a HUGE step up. I mean the chip is better, software is less laggy, the health stats are more accurate and overall better and the battery life lasts me DAYS the new chips power efficeny is amazing. The display is a samsung typical panel nothing special but is vibrant and looks good. Overall 10/10 watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear this practically daily. And use it in conjuction with the sleep app to track my sleeping habits. I also look at heart rate.
I feel it's pretty accurate and i was able to customize it to my needs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size, customization, options and navigation are quite good. It is not so fragile to shocks. It is quite comfortable Although I wish the battery lasted a little longer, sometimes it's a bit tiring having to recharge it every day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the battery life, health functions and it monitors my sleep very well. It even reminds me to perform exercise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the seamless action across apps gets better with each generation - even quicker than with my S8Ultra. Didn't realize the smoothness difference until the upgrade. Also have the Watch Ultra but I wear and sleep with the 7 like 90% of the time as Ultra is bulkier.
