Solid device with a couple of caveats

I got this thing about 4 days ago to upgrade from a Fitbit. The first thing I realized that all of you reading might already know is that this is a completely different class of product than a fitness tracker. This is a smart watch which has a lot more features than basic fitness tracking up to and including a constant LTE connection.
The build quality, accessory ecosystem, and functionality are all mostly great. It definitely feels like it's a step above the fit and finish of even Fitbits which are well known brands. It can track pretty much everything that a Fitbit charge 6 can and more. The screen is surprisingly clear and even when dimmed still pops with color and contrast.
Those are all the good things. Now for my main and only issue and how I solved it. The LTE connection, get texts and calls to your watch, stay connected constantly for up to the second live updates, etc. etc. The only problem is that while you CAN do this, it will decimate your battery. With every power saving feature enabled BUT LTE on (that is battery saver, Bluetooth off, AOD off, Wi-Fi off, dimmest screen possible, health tracking off, and a barebones watch face) My battery drained by nearly %15 an hour, which is clearly no sustainable if you work even an 8 hour shift. This battery life on a device that is supposed to stand in for a watch, or even a fitness tracker would be completely unacceptable.
My solution, which dropped my battery usage down to %2-%3 per hour, a much more acceptable range, was to turn on airplane mode the majority of the time and then only turn it off once or twice a day to sync or when I specifically want to use LTE features. This is not ideal as it obviously disables a couple of the main features of an LTE enabled watch like receiving texts or calls and constant connection to your phone. However for my use case it turns the product from basically unusable to totally fine.
All other things being equal or better I find that this is a totally acceptable product, I wish Samsung would release an update allowing you to more deeply customize syncing and features outside of airplane mode (to my knowledge right now the LTE configuration begins and stops with on/off) so that I could set it up to not constantly connect but rather automatically sync data every 30 minutes to an hour and completely disable more connection heavy features like constantly checking for new calls/texts. In this way I could not even have to worry about syncing but also have usable amounts of battery life for 1-2 days.

love the features, however the battery life sucks and no option to trade in for the ultra. Which I hear has a better battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This watch is my first smartwatch so I have nothing to compare it to. But as a newcomer to this technology, I find there is a learning curve to getting familiar with it. You definitely need to be familiar with the health rated topics to use the features and how to understand the info the watch gives you. That isn't even touching on the understanding of how the watch and cell phone interact with one another. There is a lot going on all at the same time. Thank God for YouTube tutorial videos. This is not the product for someone who is not tech savy. All that being said it is a powerful peice of tech on the wrist. The other factor to take into account is the battery life. If you read up on this watch you must be aware that you're going to need to charge this up daily to get the full use of the watch. Other than it being very complex and needing to charge it daily, I am enjoying my Watch 7.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this new watch. Huge upgrade from my Watch4. Especially love the trade-in program. I get a discount on a new watch instead of paying full price and my old one won't sit in a drawer forever.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had the Watch 6 Classic. That thing would die in less than 10 hours. This one is amazing on battery. It lasts me 2-3 days. And it's definitely more fashionable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Response from Samsung USBy Social Commerce, November 20, 2024
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Watch7, Vhaskar. While both the Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch7 offer exceptional features, there are several enhancements that make upgrading to the Galaxy Watch7 worthwhile. The Galaxy Watch7 introduces improved durability with a stronger Sapphire Crystal Glass display, ensuring better resistance to scratches and daily wear. Additionally, the Watch7 includes advanced body composition insights to provide more detailed health tracking, and the redesigned Samsung BioActive Sensor enhances accuracy for heart rate and SpO2 monitoring. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch7’s performance optimization is powered by the latest software and hardware upgrades such as the 3nm processor, offering smoother app experiences and longer-lasting battery life compared to its predecessor. Thanks once again for sharing your feedback with us. If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin
