Horrible battery life

Great watch, great features. However the battery life is completely atrocious. Had 45% battery, went for a walk using the watch only for music and walking tracker and didn't even last an hour. 44 min into it the watch died.

Thanks for the outreach, Kenny. It's always great to hear from our customers and get their helpful feedback. When it comes to tracking your workouts, the Galaxy Watch7's built-in Galaxy AI allows you to challenge yourself on your next run or bike ride. The Galaxy AI compares your current performance to your previous ones, providing valuable insights that can help you set and achieve new goals. Additionally, if you're into swimming, the Galaxy Watch7 can help you improve your technique with its stroke analysis feature. By analyzing your strokes and providing you with a SWOLF score, you can get a better understanding of your swimming efficiency and work on enhancing your performance in the water. We understand the importance of having a long-lasting battery to enjoy features like these. There are several reasons why your Galaxy Watch may be experiencing battery drain or have decreased battery life. For example, certain apps can increase battery consumption.

I upgrade from my older watch and have been able to enjoy it. I like the addition of the new features and being able to use the watch with a better battery life.
I recently upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 to the new Watch 6, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. Samsung processed the exchange quickly and efficiently, offering a great trade-in value. The new Watch 6 comes with many nice improvements that enhance both functionality and user experience. Overall, a seamless upgrade process and a solid product—thank you, Samsung!
I like how it looks on my wrist, the edges, the screen is very bright and it is very necessary when you are outside, the only thing I don't like is the battery... it only lasts me 8 hours, the 'always on display' is consuming a lot and but not more than the 'media playback', when I am at work I have to deactivate the Bluetooth so that it does not discharge quickly. Another thing I didn't like was the 'wireless charger' I can't charge it with my phone and it was something very necessary for those like me who spend a lot of time away from home. But after that it's a great watch.
I love this watch. I am coming from a Garmin which I also really enjoyed but this watch is so much better (aside from battery life). I love the display, the functionality, and the way it is just an extension of my phone.
Battery lasts a bit short for my expectation. However, my biggest issue with this is what they've done with Wear OS 5 that no longer supports/allows third party watch faces installation. Man...how greed can this guys be? Are you seriously begging to make some additional profit on faces that costs cents? Killing the face creation community is a shot on your own feet. Not to mention that I just got this one to replace my perfectly working Gear S3 due to the forced obsolescence, once it became unrecognizable from Galaxy S24 lineup on. Other than that, I'm enjoying the watch. I can see huge improvements on health monitoring sensors, compared to initial watches. It's light and confortable to wear. This is the first watch I have that I can sleep with. Hope it lasts (at least until next forced obsolescence).
I would recommend this to a friend!
