It literally stinks

This watch is not impressive at all. The available watch faces leave a lot to be desired. The battery lasts about 12 hours, 24 if you don't use any features. I had to replace my previous model because after 3 months of use, the back fell off and the HR monitor stopped working. The worst thing about this watch is that it stinks. It's not your skin, or even the back of the watch, the screen smells like it is super hot but is cold to the touch. Stinks 24/7. I used to wear it to monitor my sleep but I can't now because the screen stinks do much that I can't stand having the watch so close to my face. Luckily it was on sale because (unknown to me) the 8 was coming out. I've had this watch about 6 weeks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy watch is so cool. It helps me out alot with work so I dont have to keep using my phone. It also integrates seamlessly with my s25 phone. I can talk to my galaxy AI with ease using my watch and the tap to pay is so handy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this and a Garmin venu 2s. I love them both but this galaxy 7 i feel does much more. Being able to text, controlling my music, love those features. And I really like the many workouts listed for when I'm working out. Wish it had a heart rate band though. That would make it perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just upgraded from my old watch 3 to a new 7. So far, I'm loving the new features: restfulness score, enhanced sleep scoring, better gestures. I love the customization options. I haven't used the galaxy AI features yet, and I haven't pushed the limits of the battery (though it definitely gives me more than a day!).
My only complaint is mo bezel. I know i could have gotten the Ultra, but I'm a woman and that watch is just too big. I loved the bezel, and its the reason I didn't upgrade sooner. But my old watch, after daily use, including frequent swims and banging into walls as I walk, finally started to show its age after nearly 5 years. Maybe I'll get used to no bezel, but I think I'll still miss it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this watch to integrate into my daily lifestyle easily. Access to my calendar on my watch, yes please. Phone calls that are crystal clear, can you say hello Jetsons. The face of the watch being customizable, Go Phils! Seriously, a watch to watch. It will monitor your health, workout routines, and the weather.
Went from my Watch 3 to my Watch 7, and obviously it's an upgrade, but it also speaks to the dependability of the Samsung watch. Overall, extremely satisfied.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the galaxy watch7 for a month now and i absolutely love it....the galaxy AI features make it so easy to make and receive calls and text messages. The Samsung health and sleep features keep me on top of my self care. I love being able to make calls directly from my watch without my phone, it is very helpful at work. I cant imagine my day without my watch and compared to my last smartwatch the battery life is amazing so I don't have to go a day without it.
