I have had my Samsung Galaxy S7 Smart Watch for a few weeks now and waited until I had given it enough time to try out all the features and know how they all work.I am really pleased with this watch. It is a definite upgrade on my previous Galaxy Smart Watch, with far superior battery life – I am currently getting about 60 hours per charge.Features I particularly like are the Sleep Tracker – I like the way it monitors my sleep and then gives suggestions on how to improve Sleep quality. The screen is a good size, with clear features, making it easy to read, both as a watch and as a way of checking messages. I was pleased there was an additional watch strap as, previously, I have not found the sports band the most comfortable.

One of the standout features, my all time favourite, is its ability to monitor heart rate, providing real-time data and alerts to help users stay informed about their cardiovascular health. This continuous heart rate monitoring can be particularly valuable for myself, as it allows for proactive management of heart health and early detection of any irregularities.I'm still playing with the new feature of Samsung Watch 7, which is the Health Score, dubbed as my body's health battery level. My initial guest would be a combination from all health measurements done by Samsung Watch 7 then extrapolate those data in Samsung's Gen-AI engine which then deliver a score indicating my body's battery level. It's a neat new feature.Samsung Watch 7 screen brightness is stunning. Even the brightest sunny day, I can still see the display quite clearly without having to do anything to cover watch out of the sunshine.I opted Samsung Watch 7 with LTE, which makes it possible for me to stay connected even without my phone. The process to "extend" my phone number to my watch's is very simple, again, just follow the screen on the watch and phone then you'll be directed to your phone number provider. There is a subscription charged by the phone network operator associated with this, but I believe it is worth it.I like the improved battery live. It can last longer with all the background apps plus tracking down my health measurements throughout the day, which makes it a perfect company for daily usage.Overall I'm very impressed, not just by the software feature, but also by the quality build. This is an all-rounder smartwatch that I’ve been waiting for.

As a new dad, managing time and health has become more important to me than ever, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has been a solid investment for me. The almost 2-day battery life that Ive been able to get from it (once turning off the always on display) ensures that I don't have to worry about charging it nightly, even with its continuous monitoring features, which for things like sleep tracking is important to not have to put it on charge when I go to bed.The sleep score feature that combines AI and utilises blood oxygen levels to track sleep cycles, skin temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate, provides invaluable insights into my sleep quality, which when Im being awoken several times is nice to see that Im still able to achieve a good amount of deep ... MoreAs a new dad, managing time and health has become more important to me than ever, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has been a solid investment for me.

It's a comprehensive tool that helps me stay on top of my health in a clear and quick way to visualise, especially during these busy times.The watch's ability to perform an ECG and measure body composition has also been incredibly beneficial for tracking my fitness progress. Whether I'm spending some time in the the gym or just trying to stay active using the step count, these features offer detailed health metrics that are easy to understand, though I would like to know more about how it exactly is able to calculate this.The few negatives I have about this is that it would be nice if it came in a few more colours, as green is an odd choice, and that I did like the dial navigation some of the older watches had for times when the touch screen would be impractical to use (in the rain for example).To summarise, the clear screen, lightweight design, and overall high-quality construction make the Galaxy Watch 7 not just functional, comfortable to wear, which is a plus when wearing it to sleep. It's a perfect mix of technology and style, supporting my lifestyle in more ways than I anticipated. Highly recommended!
I've really liked the watch 7. The performance improvement is massive compared to the watch 5, interacting with the watch is smooth! You can do a lot of customization to the watch face, so play around with the settings if you get one. I think the design is clean and looks good, but I do wish it had some sort of physical turning knob so you don't always have to touch the screen; however, there is a gesture feature so you can double tap your index and thumb to do simple actions like clear a notification. The watch is feature packed you get really accurate and automated exercise tracking including impressively accurate GPS data, far better than my watch 5. Other features I use all the time are BP which is accurate enough compared to my BP machine; the body composition ... MoreI've really liked the watch 7.

The watch is feature packed you get really accurate and automated exercise tracking including impressively accurate GPS data, far better than my watch 5. Other features I use all the time are BP which is accurate enough compared to my BP machine; the body composition seems fine, it's consistent enough to be used to track your progress; the sleep tracking is amazing and now gives you blood oxygen and temperature tracking; the ecg is interesting, but not useful unless the watch can constantly monitor for afib which it does not, at least in Canada; there are some features that I think are half baked like AGEs and stress, currently I just don't see what value they provide; watch OS is nice, I love that there is an Audible and a YouTube music app so I can connect my headphones and go for walks without my phone. I'm sure given time Samsung will increase the capabilities of the watch with the new/improved sensors on the watch, especially this AGEs data maybe one day the watch can monitor blood sugar, that would really be cool! Anyway, last thing I'll mention is the battery life, it's better than the watch 5, but it varies greatly depending on your AOD and exercise/GPS usage. Generally speaking though, I get through three sleeps and need to charge the next morning, but note this is with no exercise, daily body composition, notifications turned on, and AOD off. The battery is fine, but there is still room for improvement. Overall, I'm glad I updated to the watch 7!
I wanted an upgraded smart watch, as my current one was showing its age and didn’t track all the health metrics I wanted accurately. I picked up the Samsung Galaxy 7 watch as I’ve heard the Galaxy Watches have had great health tracking features and worked great when paired with a Samsung phone, which has been the only smartphones I’ve used.Pros:- Tons of Features!- Flat against wrist.- Magnetic charger.Cons:- Universal Gestures is not on by default.- Battery life with all features on is barely a day.- Watch face is big, even the 40mm is too big for smaller wrists.Setup:Setting up the Samsung Watch 7 was very straight forward, there is a quick start guide in the package.

I picked up the Samsung Galaxy 7 watch as I’ve heard the Galaxy Watches have had great health tracking features and worked great when paired with a Samsung phone, which has been the only smartphones I’ve used.Pros:- Tons of Features!- Flat against wrist.- Magnetic charger.Cons:- Universal Gestures is not on by default.- Battery life with all features on is barely a day.- Watch face is big, even the 40mm is too big for smaller wrists.Setup:Setting up the Samsung Watch 7 was very straight forward, there is a quick start guide in the package. First off, press and hold the power/home button (orange outlined button) for a few seconds to power on the watch. Then on your phone download and open the Galaxy Wearable app, Samsung phones come pre-installed with this app. This will walk you through the setup steps, it will take 10-15mins in total to get through all the steps, if you have previously setup a Samsung Wearable device you will be able to skip some steps. Once the watch is done with the initial setup, you will be guided into the Samsung Health app if you accept the health tracking to configure more settings related to health tracking.This was my first smart watch with apps I needed to install, I added Gmail and WhatsApp so I could read the notifications. Installing the apps was a smooth experience, though initially this was a little slow over Bluetooth but connecting to the Wi-Fi directly quickly sped up the download. I found having the watch attached to Wi-Fi was nice, but as I’ll mention later the battery life suffered so much, I opted to keep Wi-Fi off to save power.The included charger is great, as it is magnetic on both the charging side and base which makes it easy to use a wall charger without the charger falling to the floor as you can stick it to any metal nearby. Additionally, with the USB-C charging it is future focused and works with faster charging than standard USB-A ports.Feel and Use:I found navigation on the Galaxy Watch 7 to be intuitive, with a few swipes I was able to navigate the menus quite reliably. The screen is very responsive for navigating, but the best part is the simple gestures that allow you to navigate through the menus without touching the screen. Double pinching your finger and thumb together will answer calls, dismiss notifications or capture pictures with the camera app open on your phone. It takes a little practice to get each down, but once you have the hang of the double pinch it changes everything!This is where my first complaint of the Galaxy Watch 7 is that the universal gestures are not enabled by default. These gestures really make a difference when interacting with the watch while doing almost anything, because you do not need to use your other hand to get into the watch settings. Gestures are even more important if you turn on power saving mode (which you will want to) which disables the always on display so you either need to have the gestures on to turn the display on or use your other hand to turn the display each time you want to interact with the watch.The watch lays flat against the wrist, even with a large face the watch didn’t feel like it stuck out too far wrist. I often would bang other watches against everything because they were just a little too bulky for me. The 40mm watch face still feels big compared to my older watch, though the 44mm model was huge on my wrist, which is on the smaller side at about 6.625in (about 170mm). So, if you have a small wrist, this watch will feel big!Battery Life:The battery life on the Galaxy Watch 7 is not good with the default power settings, which is a rather big inconvenience. Leaving the default power options on will net you maybe a day at most of battery life. That is 24 hours. This means usually in the middle of the day or while you are sleeping, the watch will run out of juice. Having a battery life that lasts more than a day is a big must for me, as I want to track my health metrics such as sleep at night and resting heart rate during the day. Having the watch die for any duration at either time will cause an issue for accurate readings, not to mention defeat the purpose of being a convenient access to notifications on my phone.But with Power Savings mode turned on, you can get 40 hours out of the battery which is much more manageable. I found that I could get by charging every other day during the middle of the day while at my desk, which works for me.The only trade off that I found inconvenient with Power Savings mode was the disabling of the wake with gestures, which meant you couldn’t turn on the screen just by raising your wrist. This would be a hassle, except with Universal Gestures you have the option to turn on the screen by making a fist twice. It took a little practice, but after getting used to the gesture it wasn’t an issue. The other tradeoffs that might matter were disabling of the Always On display and Wi-Fi, plus reduced processing power, but none of these impacted my use of the watch over the total battery life.Health Metrics:Health metrics are the main reason I switched to the Galaxy Watch 7. The standard suite of metrics is tracked from Steps, Heart Rate, Workouts, and Sleep. I found the Sleep tracking was much more informative with the sleep cycle data than my prior watch, showing when the cycles happened in better detail than my prior smart watch. This has helped me figure out some sleeping habits to tweak to help get better sleep.Additionally, Blood Oxygen levels can be tracked, with a breakdown that focuses on the Oxygen levels while sleeping. There are some additional features if you install the Health Monitor app, such as the ECG and Sleep Apnea diagnostic test. If you’ve been clinically diagnosed with the condition, you shouldn’t use the Sleep Apnea feature as it’s not meant for tracking just pre-diagnosis.I didn't have to spend much time to get the workout tracking working as I wanted, with the default settings more or less being what I wanted. I did have to adjust the quick select options, to have treadmill running instead of outdoor running but that was simple. The watch easily tracks most activities, picking up on when I take the dog out for a walk every time so far, even if there are longer pauses while walking.Between the default and power saving mode, I really didn’t notice any performance difference outside the Always On Display and Wake Up Gesture being disabled. The rest of the features worked as I’d prefer in the Power Saving mode and gave me enough battery life for my use.Phone Companion:I found that the call answering, notifications, and other paired apps worked well on the phone, even in Power Saving mode. I mainly only need the watch to notify me when I’ve got a call, message, or specific email. It does that, but also allows me to answer or access those messages from the watch if I need to. Though navigating an email or long message on the watch face is a bit tedious, just being able to read the sender and subject is enough for me.Conclusion:I will be adding this to my recommendations for smart watches, though I do hope there will be future updates to change some feature behavior and options, which I am hopeful for due to recent updates already released to address battery life concerns. The watch pairs perfectly with a Samsung Phone, which is no surprise, but I would highly recommend keeping that pairing for the best experience. The biggest drawback will be the battery life, but about 2 days works for me with the extra features. Overall, I am glad I got the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and will be figuring out the other cool features in the coming months.
I’ve tried nearly every Samsung watch going all the way back to the Gear Sport and have been disappointed with every model….until now. The Galaxy Watch 7 is finally the WearOS watch I’ve wanted with longer battery life, better fitness tracking, along with the classy looks of a Galaxy watch.I’ve been a long-time fan of Galaxy watches for the looks but the activity tracking has never been amazing. From sub-par GPS accuracy tracking my runs and bike rides to even less reliable heart rate accuracy, it was hard to actually rely on their previous watches. They may have offered a very robust set of smartwatch features but I want a watch that does both sides well - smarts as well as sports.With the Galaxy Watch 7, I’m finally happy with the fitness and health tracking ... MoreI’ve tried nearly every Samsung watch going all the way back to the Gear Sport and have been disappointed with every model….until now.

It’s easily able to last a couple days vs before where it was maybe a little over a day. There’s much less stress at the end of the day when you want to track your sleep but only discover that you may not have enough battery left to last through the night. The longer battery life certainly helps with that.As a smartwatch, it works seamlessly with my Google Pixel 8 however there’s health features that require a Samsung phone which is a big bummer. ECG is the big one where this only works with Galaxy phones. Samsung obviously wants to sell more phones, just like any other company, but having those features limited to Samsung phones doesn’t put a great taste in my mouth.I’m still pleased with this watch overall but wished all the features were available for all Android phone users, especially since this is a WearOS watch.
I’ve spent the past week wearing and tinkering around on the new Galaxy watch 7, and came away mostly satisfied with the newest smart watch offering from Samsung. The 7 is among the upper tier of the current Galaxy watch line, surpassed only by the flagship Galaxy Watch Ultra.I was offered the 40mm green case and sport band for review. I normally opt for slightly larger case size when I’m purchasing a smartwatch, but I like the sleek unobtrusive look of the 40mm case. It’s a nearly perfect size, stylish and doesn’t seem visually small or undersized, even on a thicker wrist. I also like that isn’t huge and utilitarian looking like some of the 46-49mm watches I see people wearing. The feel and function of the 7 is reminiscent of my previous Galaxy Watch, so it’s ... MoreI’ve spent the past week wearing and tinkering around on the new Galaxy watch 7, and came away mostly satisfied with the newest smart watch offering from Samsung.

It’s a nearly perfect size, stylish and doesn’t seem visually small or undersized, even on a thicker wrist. I also like that isn’t huge and utilitarian looking like some of the 46-49mm watches I see people wearing. The feel and function of the 7 is reminiscent of my previous Galaxy Watch, so it’s also familiar to navigate. The sport band is soft and comfortable enough for 24X7 wear. It remains comfy while working out and sleeping. The watch ships with a USB wireless charging base but no AC adapter.The OLED screen has great brightness, sharpness, and visibility, even in bright sunlight. Samsung offers numerous watch faces and customization options for the screen. Complications and widget shortcuts provide handy data and app access. Sound and vibration are both adequate for detectable alerts in even moderately loud environments.The Galaxy watch is quite easy to setup with an Android phone, especially a Galaxy phone. I downloaded the Galaxy wearable app, followed the prompts to set up and sync the watch, and went from unboxing to fully set up and functional in minutes. The wearable app allows management of the watch for firmware updates, tweaking system settings, adjusting personal preferences, changing face appearance and content, and accessing watch tracked and reported data like health and fitness.The Watch 7 has the usual phone interaction tools like texting, phone, remote control, mail, and companion watch apps. However, many people like myself are seeking smart watches well equipped with strong health tools. The Galaxy Watch 7 contains health and wellness features such as ECG, heart rate/afib alerts, SpO2 levels, sleep tracking, monthly cycle tracker, fitness and wellness tracking, body composition and more. The fitness tracking has been reliable as far as step count accuracy and properly recording physical activities. Fitness feedback offers coaching tips, encouragement, awards, and achievement milestones for hitting goals. The AI fitness enhancement offers more granular fitness tracking and feedback along with improved biometric monitoring for the heart and other areas, but is only available on Samsung phones. The Watch 7 has robust sleep tracking. It tracks individual sleep stages, heart rate, oxygen levels, detects snoring, and even detect if sleep apnea is present. Sleep statistics and stages align accurately enough with another wearable’s results and the watch 7 can help improve sleep, recovery and readiness through coaching.Battery life was an area of concern for me based upon early whispers I’d heard about the GW7. I have not encountered any shortened battery life issues and get a full day and night of 24x7 wear between charging. And even then, the watch isn’t fully depleted, I’m more or less topping off for the night since it’s worn 24x7. I could likely stretch it to a couple days 24x7 wear per charge but not much longer. I can only assume maybe a software update was pushed since that early feedback because I’ve had no issues with battery life whatsoever. I also have no issues with Bluetooth connectivity or NFC. I haven’t lost connection between watch and phone yet.The only downside I have encountered with the watch so far is that some features only work properly with Samsung phones. On the plus side, at least the watch is still mostly functional with non-Samsung phones and isn’t essentially useless like a certain model smartwatch is on a different brand phone. However, I strongly advise prospective buyers carefully examine all specs and compatibility with your current phone before purchase. I was going to buy a second Watch 7 for a close family member who was admiring this one but I changed my mind after discovering the much needed ECG won’t work with their phone without modding. Some people feel comfortable bypassing limitations through mods, but I’m not one of them.The Galaxy Watch 7 may not be a fancy as the Ultra, but it shares the majority of features that most wearers will ever use or even need. Aesthetically, the watch is just the right size and has an attractive non-boring design. It has so far been acceptably reliable, and does much of what the Ultra does but at a way more wallet friendly price. I don’t like that some of the features only work with Samsung phones, but that’s a Samsung decision. That being said, even though I checked that I would recommend the watch to a friend, I would only do so if they have a Samsung phone or don’t need the features that won’t work on non-Samsung phones.
As someone deeply embedded in a different tech ecosystem, I've consistently relied on my other smartwatch for daily activities, never quite mixing it with my professional life. However, the allure of the Galaxy Watch7 in deep green and its classy round shape has made me reconsider. Unlike the typical tech-savvy look of 'other' smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch7 exudes a more traditional, professional vibe, making it a perfect accessory for work.I use an Android phone daily for work, and integrating the Galaxy Watch7 into my routine seemed like a logical step. Although my phone is not a Galaxy model, which led to a somewhat fragmented setup process involving multiple app installations and permission pop-ups, the effort was worthwhile. This hiccup in the setup process ... MoreAs someone deeply embedded in a different tech ecosystem, I've consistently relied on my other smartwatch for daily activities, never quite mixing it with my professional life. However, the allure of the Galaxy Watch7 in deep green and its classy round shape has made me reconsider. Unlike the typical tech-savvy look of 'other' smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch7 exudes a more traditional, professional vibe, making it a perfect accessory for work.I use an Android phone daily for work, and integrating the Galaxy Watch7 into my routine seemed like a logical step. Although my phone is not a Galaxy model, which led to a somewhat fragmented setup process involving multiple app installations and permission pop-ups, the effort was worthwhile. This hiccup in the setup process could likely be smoothed out for Galaxy phone users, with likely a more seamless integration within the Samsung ecosystem.The interface of the Galaxy Watch7 was surprisingly familiar, echoing many features of my 'other' smartwatch. This similarity was a double-edged sword; while it made the transition less daunting, it also left me longing for more originality, especially in the watch faces. I found myself instinctively reaching for a non-existent crown to navigate messages, a testament to my muscle memory from the 'other' device. However, Samsung’s use of all four swiping directions is a key difference that I appreciated quickly.The physical aspects of the watch, like changing bands, presented a slight learning curve. The traditional mechanical pin used to secure the bands might raise durability concerns for more rugged activities—definitely a departure from the integrated slide-in channels I'm accustomed to. Yet, I suppose it mirrors the classic watch design that has stood the test of time.During work hours, the watch proved its mettle by allowing me to efficiently multitask, handling texts and notifications with ease. The fitness features were a bonus, particularly during my afternoon workouts. The heart rate monitor matched the accuracy of both my 'other' watch and gym machines, although getting used to the controls, like swiping to end a workout, did take some getting used to.Overall, the Galaxy Watch7 has earned its place on my wrist during work hours, striking a fine balance between professional aesthetics and smart functionality. It’s a nice companion for anyone looking to blend traditional watch style with modern smartwatch capabilities, even if it does come with a slight learning curve for those outside the Samsung family.
The first thing that stood out to me with this Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is its aesthetics. The 40mm face size strikes the perfect balance between readability and usability without looking overly large, unlike some more utility-looking sport watches from other brands. The thin bezel helps maintain a premium look. I’m particularly impressed with how sharp the aluminum body looks and how robust and durable it feels. The watch manages to be both sleek and sporty. The AMOLED display is gorgeous and helps the watch stand out among the other watches I've used before—the screen is very bright, the colors are vivid, and the high resolution really helps with readability.The watch boasts up to 40 hours on a single charge, although I wasn't able to achieve that duration.

As a heavy user of the watch's interface and apps, I find myself charging it nightly. Since I don't typically wear a watch overnight for Sleep Tracking, nightly charging isn't an issue for me. However, if you plan to use it around the clock, you might need to give it a quick charge midday. Fortunately, the induction charger refills the battery rapidly.This watch is packed with features, and while there is a bit of a learning curve, the interface is overall intuitive, and setting it up to your liking is fairly straightforward. Texting is straightforward—the keyboard is fairly small, but the touchscreen accuracy and responsiveness make it easy to use. However, if you’d like to avoid typing on the small keyboard, the AI-generated Suggested Replies are well done and often get the job done with just one tap.The seamless setup from my phone was a big plus—the watch automatically downloaded apps that matched what I had on my phone. With a plethora of apps available on the watch, it truly feels like an extension of my Android phone without any extra effort on my part. Customization directly from the watch interface is super simple, but you can tweak things even further with the Wearables App. It’s easy to customize the watch face, manage notifications, add apps and tiles, adjust quick panel settings, and more. Though it may seem like a small thing, I really appreciated the thoughtful addition of being able to flip the screen orientation and button layout (left or right) directly from the settings menu.The watch is not just great for day-to-day utility: the sports functionality is really solid as well. Being able to download Spotify playlists for offline listening during exercise is a game changer so I don't have to carry my phone with me when I got distance running. The generous 32GB capacity is plenty big to hold many apps and songs/podcasts. I connected my Bluetooth headphones to the watch and was able to listen to music while tracking my run via the Samsung Health App. The GPS connected almost instantaneously, and its accuracy was on par with my existing GPS-enabled sports watch. Pace and distance readings were very similar between the two. The summary page of the app is fantastic, displaying typical stats like daily steps, heart rate, sleep duration, etc. All this data syncs to the Samsung Health App on my phone, where it’s great to see the advanced metrics the watch captures—like time spent in different heart rate zones and specific Advanced Running Metrics such as Contact Time, Flight Time, and Vertical, with suggestions for drills and workouts to improve the subpar aspects of my running style. As a data nerd and avid runner, I absolutely love having these metrics plotted out and analyzed for my runs, and I’ll definitely be diving deeper into this data to level up my running game.
