Poor battery life and sometimes the touchscreen doesn't read when it's touched even though it's not on water mode

We appreciate the outreach, Kyler. It's always great to hear from our valued customers. We noticed that you contacted us regarding your experience with the Galaxy Watch7. If the watch screen is slow to respond, frozen, or not responding at all, the issue could be caused by outdated software, a third-party app, or the watch's physical condition. Unclean hands, optional accessories, gloves, and sharp objects can also prevent the screen from responding properly. Please click on the link attached for troubleshooting options. Regarding the battery, it's highly recommended that you check and ensure that you are running the latest software version available for your Watch7.

I think that this is the most aesthetically pleasing watch Samsung has made so far. I never liked the physical ring that much. The digital ring is awesome!
I totally love my new watch. It has all the updated health monitoring instruments and software to help keep me young. Plus, Samsung has a great old watch turn in program.
Battery life is atrocious. It's not uncommon to have to charge more than once per day. This is while only using the fitness tracking and minimal text message reading. I can't even imagine how fast the battery would drain if I regularly used the other cool tech.

I love the watch and the brand, however I previously owned the galaxy 3. The 3 sensor seemed to work better for me than My 7. I miss the dial but i like that this one seems to get less dirty. I like that the 7 GPS is much smarter than my 3. But it randomly decides that I've stopped my workouts and then I have to stop doing whatever it is to tell it that I still am this needs to be updated. It's functional for my everyday life. Occasionally it decides to not receive some messages but recieves others. I even upgraded my phone to see if Maybe I was having compatability issues, it was not the case.
