Battery doesn't last long as with previous watch I had (S3). Watch bands are awesome I one push feature is great, however can't find em on these alternate shopping sites...yet.
This is going to be a mixed bag. Coming from a Watch 5 40MM, the 44MM is bigger and nicer to look at, great build quality and bright display. All the features are iterative, and mostly the same, just updated. The battery life so far is abysmal and disappointing. This is with the Watch 7 44MM having a larger battery than the Watch 5 40MM, and with the exact same settings, the battery is excessively draing on my Watch 7. I can go a day and a half on my Watch 5, but barely making it through 12 daylight hours. Took it off the charger at 6am and it's 12 noon and already at 63%, an almost 40 percent drain in 6 hours. Something is excessively draining the battery. The exact same settings as the Watch 5, and yet barely lasting 12 hours. I wouldn't even hazard turning on always-on-display at this stage. If I didn't already send in my Watch 5 as a trade-in, I would ask for it back. This Watch 7 needs a major performance update.
