I'm very disappointed with Samsung. I bought to replace my Samsung Watch 4, 44mm. This watch is considerably more expensive. I was bummed that black wasn't option and I almost didn't buy as a result. I finally pulled the trigger. I have been testing it for a few days. I don't notice a difference in battery life, charge time. The touted AI features are just for sleep analysis, no new bixby/assistant features. The corrugated bands aren't as comfortable. The worst part is that Samsung did away with the Wireless Power Sharing function! That was the whole reason I bought a Samsung and not a Garmin, etc. Overall this watch is not a good value, I'd recommend getting last years model, the 6 for half the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's great to hear from you, Joxic. We always look forward to hearing from our valued customers. We see that you reached out to share your thoughts about the Galaxy Watch7. Your favorite AI assistant, Bixby, is now more accessible than ever because it’s available on select Samsung smartwatches. This means you can command Bixby without using your phone. We’ve outlined the steps to get Bixby up and running on your watch. The following Bixby features can be used on your Galaxy watch: Voice commands, where you can activate Bixby with the default "Hi Bixby" voice command, or press the Home button twice. For some models, holding down the Home button also works. You can also customize commands, and adjust settings to customize your interaction, such as changing the double-press action. Discover commands by exploring Bixby through the app to view a list of commands like playing music, finding your phone, or making calls. Lastly, optimize for multiple devices. If you own several Bixby-enabled devices, ensure they are on the same network or maintain distance between them to prevent simultaneous activation. You can use the following steps to get Bixby set up on your Galaxy watch. On your watch, navigate to and open the Bixby app. You can also activate Bixby by pressing and holding the Home (Power) button or by double pressing it. Next, grant permissions to allow Bixby to access the necessary features on your watch, and review the Privacy Notice when prompted. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process and familiarize yourself with Bixby's functionalities on your watch. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
I stay up to date on ALL my Samsung devices by taking full advantage of the Samsung trade in program!! The Samsung eco-system is incredible. The watch is an import part of thay eco-system and the more Samsung products you have the better it works!!!
Pathetic battery time. Lasts only 4 to 6 hours after putting everything on battery saving mode. My watch is still at support center for diagnostic. I gave it to center within 15 days time period. I need to see a resolution to this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new watch 7 has been an excellent upgrade from my Watch 5. I'm consistently getting about a day and a half worth of battery with the always-on-display on. This is in addition to the major improvement in speed and fluidity of the watch UI. The new processor in the Watch 7 provides the best experience I've ever had with an Android Wear Watch (and I've had 4 previously). I finally feel like the watch can keep up with basic components of the UI. I no longer swipe the watch face and wait multiple seconds for the desired action to take place. The features that I liked about previous watches finally deliver on their promise because of the better processor. I've used the new workout features to create several workouts that I can do with only my watch and still get great feedback after the workout from the Samsung Health app. It's been amazing for my workout routine and made it a lot less complicated. If you're on the fence about getting this watch or upgrading from a previous version, I definitely recommend the Watch 7!
