Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (44mm) - Brutally Honest Review - Watch before you buy!

After careful consideration, I have decided to cut the harsh intro. The people have spoken and I apologise if I offended anyone. Thank you for the love and support. ❤

The Best KZbin Review for the Samsung Watch 7 Honest opinion. Galaxy Watch7 is a well-rounded smartwatch with a sleek design, vibrant AMOLED display, and comprehensive health and fitness tracking features. Its performance is smooth, powered by the Exynos 1000 chipset, and it integrates seamlessly with the Samsung ecosystem. While its battery life is decent, lasting 1.5 to 2 days with moderate use, it may require more frequent charging with intensive use. This is a fantastic review of the Galaxy Watch7. Your honest, fair, and accurate assessment, along with the detailed comparison to the Galaxy Watch Ultra, was incredibly helpful. Your thorough analysis of the design, performance, health tracking features, and battery life provided valuable insights that will surely assist many viewers in making an informed decision. Keep up the excellent work

[@wtfWhoIsIt]

Exynos 1000. And you called this a good fitness function test? Thirty seconds with a medical pulse oximeter without any fitness activity? Really, the best review?

I'm actually trading in my Watch 6 Classic for the Watch 7 44mm. I know I'm the minority but I really don't like the rotating bezel. I never used it. I guess i'm just used to swiping. Plus the bezel sits a little high making the watch look like a little stadium ....lol. I love how the 7 looks, and with the upgraded sensors it was a no brainer for me.

[@abhisheknauduri7013]

[@pauldt]

Newbie here....what will I miss out on by not having wi-fi on? (to save battery life). Just received my GW7 44mm yesterday via Costco. Thanks

[@p0xygen]

If you have WiFi enabled it will already only actually connect to a WiFi network when needed, that is when downloading things. If you're only receiving some WhatsApp messages, the Bluetooth connection to your phone will carry that data. If you start downloading apps from the Play Store or are perhaps loading a video that someone sent you, it will automatically switch to WiFi to achieve higher speeds. In daily use I don't think anyone truly needs WiFi to be enabled at all, but since it only connects when needed, and otherwise doesn't do anything, I still leave it enabled for those few times every now and then when I update apps for example. It (might) also speed up backups, not sure about that though.

[@StenoChris]

Love the honesty and delivery!

[@brett3017]

Great review, yes the 7 is the go i wear a 3 atm , need an update. Can't justify the price for the Ultra. Can't be any worse in battery to the 3 , big step up .. Cheers.

You'll be very happy with 7s battery life, it is so much better than the watch4 I owned before.

[@imaniirema]

Amazing review brother. Well thought out and thorough. Thank you.

[@rafalago2]

Excellent analysis, I have had the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for 2 years, it still works perfect. Is it worth upgrading to Watch 7? Thank you very much

[@ChigzTech]

I think it would be worth upgrading from the 4 classic. You will notice the difference in performance and a ton of new features.

[@ZachComa]

That's what I upgraded from. I was getting maybe 12-18h battery, so it was time to switch. I ended up getting the 7 Ultra and get about 48h battery and couldn't be happier. The improvements from the 4 are worth it IMO.

[@RicardoCarvalhoPT]

I have both: Advantages: Sapphire screen instead of Gorilla Glass, more responsive (due to CPU and RAM), lighter, more advanced sensors. Disadvantage: You lose the rotating bezel, this is really all you can miss. The 4 Classic is still a beautiful and perfectly fine watch, though.

[@Dimonina]

The only difference from gw4 is that useless body temperature sensor. Everything else is the same. Better screen of course, but I can't say gw4 work slowly. May be I missed what the new sensor can do, but I don't see any new features coming from the new hardware. I would not upgrade. I upgraded from gw4 to gw5 pro because it's now 110 usd and battery life is amazing, and there's no difference with gw7.

I ordered the 7 44 mm variant. I'm currently training for the NYC Marathon and decided to upgrade from my watch 6. Battery has been suspect. I have to charge it to make it through training days, which include 10-13 mile run and between 90 -120 minutes the gps tracker. Battery frequently goes down to under 50%. Hopefully, it'll improve as the watch learns my habits. Great content.I appreciate such a thorough review and, as a result, feel more confident in my decision to skip the "Ultra."

[@Vatsal-lx2ko]

Hey, could you update on the battery life now? How is it going? Cz i am considering 44 mm gw7 against ultra

[@blacar3270]

@@Vatsal-lx2ko The battery life has improved significantly. I did a half marathon last Saturday. It took 2:01 the battery only drained from 100% to 72%. I've read that the watch "learns" your habits and adjusts the battery accordingly, kinda like phones. The GPS and heart rate are much better as well. The watch accurately recorded my distance, and the heart rate monitor voice commands let me know which zone I was in so I could determine whether to push harder or ease up. I'm pleased with the 7 and don't regret my decision to skip the Ultra. I find the 7 more versatile. It looks as nice with a suit as it does with a tank top, while the Ultra seems to post-apocalyptic IMO.

The thing I dislike the most about the ultra is the thickness 14.5mm is very thick and some weight to go with it Nearly double the thickness of the GW7.

[@oh-yeah1030]

Chigzs, if that truly is your nickname, I subscribed for the brutally honest foul language ladden opinions. I can relate to not having my leg pissed on and told it's raining. A heart would be nice , but an ice cream cone even better for its hot n muggy today. I traded in a $69 GW4 to get the GW7 for $79. I can't let the bezel go. It's the only thing I really enjoy in a watch. ( info is info , but bezel is boss!)

[@christopherdiaz1350]

Love the honest review but the Ultra titanium is much stronger than Aluminum. Even though it's much bigger it weighs similar to the galaxy 6 classic which shows they went aggressive with the titanium. It’s to my understanding the speaker and mics are better on the Ultra, the screen is 3k nits rather than 2k. Ultra has more battery and in several test it has shown to be more reliable in GPS and heart sensor. Wish they would of made the regular 7 of titanium. Aluminum makes it look cheap.

Depends on how you wanna use it. For example I like the lte version since I often wanna go running with my hearbuds connected to the watch while using spotify with data. If you want to leave your phone home and go out with only your watch it's really usefull. If you plan to always take your phone with you anyway go with the bluetooth version and you'll save money and battery life

Regarding calls, if you're using Bluetooth headphones connected to your phone, can you answer the call by pressing button on the watch but the audio / mic of the headset will do its thing? Or if you answer incoming call on watch while headset is connected to your phone will the audio of the call come out of the watch itself?

You should do a Comparison between the GW6C(C = Classic) 47mm and the GW7 44mm I feel like the GW6C is still beating the GW7 on physical features(like the Bezel and Esthetics even on Software there isn't allot of difference between the two) even tho the GW7 is newer

[@hannesh.3024]

A comparison of subjective aspects/individual opinions wouldn't really make sense for a YT video. For short: The watch 6 Classic is made out of steel which makes heavier and a bit more premium. The 7 is lighter and more fitting for sport. The rotating bezel probably makes it easier to navigate but with it you also have one mechanical component more that can break. I got the GW 3 (with rotating bezel) and now after 4 years it isn't as satisfying and klicky anymore which is a bit annoying.
