The battery only lasts 8-10 hours with very light use. Starting fully charged in the morning the galaxy 7 goes into power saving by mid-afternoon and is dead by dinner. This is with no exercise or audio playback, just casual use - checking the time and responding to the occasional text.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a great watch. I have owned a number of Galaxy watches and this one is the most impressive. I read that some people are experience battery issues but I have not noticed any issue. I expect my watch to last the day. I put it on my charger as I get ready for bed and do some reading, and then put it back on to track my sleep. The accuracy of measurements seem to have improved, especially the weight and fat percentage values. They don't fluctuate as much -- that could be the better sensors. I do like the classic with the rotating bezel, but this one feels better without the rotating bezel because it is bigger. It looks nicer with a suit.
Great upgrade coming from a Galaxy watch 4 classic. Miss the rotating vessel, but still a great watch. I love the new features the AEG and the energy score, that is great. The battery is for sure an upgrade. Excellent smartwatch overall.
The Galaxy Watch7 is a great watch. Love the sleek form factor and subtle green band with accent stitching. This watch is very responsive with the new processor. The one area I see for improvement is battery life but at least for now (while it's still new) it will get me through a day.
Poor battery life, screen too exposed so prone to damage when dropped. Could use a small lip on the edge. Otherwise, I like it
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is a great watch and Samsung had a wonderful trade in program I was able to make use of. The features are sufficient for my use. I hope Samsung is able to extend the battery life to 3 days or so with the new upcoming watches. Also would love to see Blood Pressure monitoring feature in the US.
