While the watch it does what it supposed to do I find that the battery life is not that great. I had Samsung watch in the past, one of the first ones, about 8 years ago, but the battery lasted longer. You have to make sure you charge it at least once a day. The good think is that charges fairly quick.

Burned my wrist
on February 3, 2026
Posted by: SamsungObi

Expertise:Intermediate
I am a loyal Samsung user and have owned Samsung products from my phone, fridge, tablet, laptop, washer and dryer and watch. I have had each generation of the watch since the first one launched and was looking to get the latest one but the last one has had so many issues with inaccurate readings like step, heart rate and poor battery performance. Of course I am out of warranty but my watch overheated while I was wearing it to sleep and literally burned an imprint into my wrist. NEVER have I ever had this issue with these watches but after that I am scared to put this thing back on and definitely not sleeping with it on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My primary reason for purchase was the 911 fall alert and backup phone. The other features seem for amusement, or impractical on such a small display. Battery life new was 7-8 hours, until I turned off most of the apps and bluetooth (this is LTE model), now lasts 40 hours. Website does not advise that some features, such as ECG heart monitor, only work when paired to a Samsung phone (I have a RAZR). Phone function is poor on bluetooth if more than 10 ft from paired phone, ok if using LTE. Took about 4 hours to setup & tweak (I'm a computer professional with 30+ yrs experience). Phone support was prompt & helpful , user manual is superficial lacking details for specs & setup options.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this watch! I wear it 24/7 only taking it off to charge it when I first wake up. I love that it tracks my sleep cycles. The fitness tracker is also amazing seeing as I'm a very active person. I upgraded from a older model and couldn't be happier. I bought my wife and daughter the galaxy watch 7 40mm right after I got mine and they Also love them. We have Samsung everything and love it (well besides our fridge. I wouldn't ever recommend a Samsung fridge j/s).
I am so disappointed that the watch bands you have designed and sold with the S7 watch is bulky too large and extremely uncomfortable... so very disappointing considering how much I have supported your product over the years
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this watch about a week ago. The battery is horrible despite running very few apps. I bought this to monitor sleep and daily activity but it lives on the charger. Really want to return it but I am probably stuck with it.

Not IP68 Resistant, Poor Warranty Service
on February 12, 2025
Posted by: ROBH
Expertise:Intermediate
I bought the watch 7 to replace my watch 4 late last summer. It worked great, much like my old watch, for a while. Then the sound went out. I trouble shooted and sent it in to Samsung for repair. They identified water damage. I have never come close to meeting the watches water resistance IP68 rating. I've been around and around with Samsung and they keep saying water damage is not covered and the watch is only water resistant. If that is so, then why rate it? Why have a swim mode and lap counter? The warranty clearly states liquid damage is only not covered if conditions are "inconsistant with specifications". Swimming laps is not inconsistant with advertised specifications. This is a manufacturing issue that is not being addressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Howdy ROBH, Thank you for taking the opportunity to share your experience with the Samsung Galaxy Watch7. We appreciate your candor as we make every effort to improve the design and functionality of our product line. The water resistance of this device is based on an IP68 rating, which tests submersion in fresh water deeper than 1.5 meters or submerged for more than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water, shake it to remove any excess water and dry the device thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If your device is exposed to liquids other than fresh water (such as saltwater), rinse your device with fresh water and dry it with a clean, soft cloth and shake it to remove any excess water. The Galaxy Watch7 is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly. For your convenience, I have included your device manual below for your review. We also offer Samsung Care+ which provides physical damage protection to your eligible devices. Samsung Care+ is great for those unanticipated situations we may find ourselves in, like forgetting your Watch7 in the seat of a taxi, having your device stolen from your bag, getting caught in a rainstorm without your Water Lock feature engaged, to dropping your watch and shattering the watch face. We also have over 700 authorized repair locations nationwide to take your device to be repaired so you can get back quickly to what you enjoy doing most in life. Talk about the ultimate peace of mind! If you would like any further assistance, let us know by reaching out to Samsung Support. We're happy to assist you further, if applicable. Thanks for being a valued Samsung customer. - Debra
