Got this a week ago and the battery life is absolutely awful. I am up for a two hour workout at 0400 and my watch is dead by noon. I wouldn't recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I pre-ordered the new Galaxy watch 7. I love the new features and how fluid it looks. It is very lightweight where I can't even feel it on my wrist. The band is easy to switch which is a plus. The watch also has the Google assistant option which you can use as your Galaxy AI assistant.
The charger does not seem to magnetize itself to the watch as I want it to. It seems that you'll need to have the watch upright and I feel like the watch will slip off the charging cable if it is tilted although I have not experienced that. The other huge downfall is the battery life. I DO have to charge this watch to get close to 2 days worth of usage without it dying on me. That is without notifications and bluetooth is off. That being said, I am not sure how this will affect heavy usage like a long hike or a trail run.
If you like the UI and the fluidity of how the watch looks, everyday wear and gym time, I think that this is a great watch. But if you are more like me where I typically go out camping and long hikes battery would be a big issue for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th (I think) Galaxy Watch. I started with the "2" when I switched from another tracking watch. I am an "all in" Samsung fan. S24 Ultra, Buds Pro 2, Tab S8. I love Samsung devices. They connect and work together seamlessly. My new Watch 7 does not disappoint. I receive every notification, call, & reminder without a hitch. I've only had it for kess than a week, but I feel that it is giving me better and more precise reports from my workouts and sleeping. I've not played with any AI options yet, but if it's anything like my phone, it will be game changing. Like every other device I've upgraded, this watch is no different. The trade in program works great. I've never had any issues. Thank you Samsung for such great products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good overall design and features set, abismal battery life. If you moderately active (just walking at least 10k steps and one 30m workout) it will not even survive the day. Artificial limitations (e.g. no blood pressure for US) is annoying. Most related Samsung marketing and advertising is false. Due to above limitations real benefits are very limited unless you very sick person or an athlete and ready to charge your watch 2 times a day. No real advantage over watch5 or 6.
Horrible Battery life. Even with most of the settings off such as "Always on display" "Location" "Vibrate" instead of sound, the battery doesn't even last the whole day from full 10% charge
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
