[@willsherman3527]

Very good! I got one, and my impressions are that the accuracy is very good. Better than my Garmin 55 and 165. The build quality is outstanding like the previous. The processor is noticably crisper. Personally, I don't worry about battery life. I just charge it during breakfast... That's enough. You have to charge your phone anyway. 👍

[@wearablewhisperer]

So glad my review helped you. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@CaptainFlips]

One of the most useful reviews out there, thank you for the information. I'm really glad to see that the bands have been further proved, I'll spring for a third one at some point. I actually already ordered my Galaxy Watch 7. It felt like it was time to upgrade from the original Galaxy Watch 😂

[@wearablewhisperer]

Thank you for the positive feedback 😊

[@XionLuis]

How does this watch compare to apple watch series 9/10? Are the sensors as accurate, or better?

[@Liguritio]

Crsip review based on personal usage data. Nice. Looks like HR is fixed this time. Sleep should also be better with SW updates being more complex analysis with sensors just on the wrist.. The downside as noticed is HR being more accurate for intensive tasks than for simple walking. With improved hardware Samsung should focus on software and algorithms to improve the scores. Finally we can expect Samsung being at par with Apple. Hope!!

[@wearablewhisperer]

Glad you liked my review 😊

[@ashrafozil3962]

Usually I don't reply or leave a comment to a KZbin video but I really enjoyed with your video and it is really useful for me . I like the way you introduced the video and how you hit the point. My only comment is the eye contact with the camera need to be reviewed by practicing or you can use some apps to correct the eyes looking place

This is such a great video. I ordered the 7, so I am glad to have been able to see your work before it arrives.

[@01akqueen]

Thanks for this great review! Q. The Wireless power sharing feature is not working on the Galaxy Watch Ultra / Watch7. A. The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch7 have a new rear sensor design to improve sensor accuracy over previous models. As a result, it is possible to assess health-related data points that were not previously supported as well as take more reliable measurements during prolonged or specialized exercises. However, the new sensor design required changing the shape of the back glass. The alteration increased the distance between the internal wireless charging coil of your Watch and the wireless charger, so the Wireless power sharing feature available on the previous model is no longer supported.

[@OldPrimate]

Has the charging via placing on phone been fixed?

[@ToddGratehouse]

Truly appreciate your scientific approach.

Great review. Please do a GPS accuracy test on a map, i.e. how well the GPS tracks your physical location while e.g. walking. I have problems with mine, especially around buildings. So, I've enabled the "force full GNSS measurements" in developer options and now the accuracy is better. Before the accuracy was way worse than on my Watch 6.

[@wearablewhisperer]

Thank you for the positive feedback and suggestion. My 2 outdoor biking maps have looked perfect and my 2 walks have looked pretty good. (All were starting from where I live, so I didn’t want to share the maps…) I haven’t tested around tall buildings or trees yet, but I’ll try to do so in the future and report back. Thanks again 😊

[@jiribouda3191]

In my experience, GPS track looks very nice in easy terrain, however when I took GW7 to the city together with my Garmin FR 955 and Suunto Vertical, GPS track of GW7 was zig zag and distance 10 % off (much worse than Garmin and Suunto) . On bike rides, GPS was very good and distance spot on. Where can I find developer settings? Thanks

[@jarkkok6441]

@@jiribouda3191 Seems like my previous reply got lost somewhere, so here goes again: On the watch, go to Settings -> About watch -> Software information, look for Software version tab and keep tapping it several times until you see a prompt saying Developer options enabled. Go back where you started in the settings, and under the About watch you should now see the newly enabled Developer options. Under the developer options look for Force full GNSS measurements and toggle it on. Hope this helps.

[@jarkkok6441]

I've tried to reply with exact instructions a couple of times but every time my reply is deleted (by KZbin?). Anyways, something's not working so try googling. You should easily find the information.

[@Beachandwaves]

Is your open swimming distance/speed/pace working?! I can be swimming in the sea for an hour and then tell me i just did 4meters :( i think something is wrong with my unit or with the GW7 in general

[@anitajohnson164]

Which band would you recommend for swimming

[@wearablewhisperer]

I haven’t swam in years, but I think if I were to, I would use the Athleisure band for comfort. But the default sport band should also work.

Can you charge this from the back of the phone using Wireless Power Share? Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot for this detailed review. I had Watch 4, 5, and 6. I found that all three had incorrect heart rate when doing exercises involving moving the arms like jumping jacks etc. Could you possibly let me know how the Watch 7 heart rate accuracy when doing exercises with alot of arm movements?

I haven’t tested the 40mm battery life yet (wearing the ultra right now…). I do plan to test it next though, so… stay tuned 😊

[@chrisandrew_tv]

@wearablewhisperer Great, thank you. People are reporting issues with stairs climbed. My guess is that Altimeter will need to be calibrated and set to auto-refresh, and the watch synced with the weather app at the shortest possible increment to work reliably. There's there's the issue of what height constitutes a floor. This would be an interesting test since it hasn't currently got great coverage and is integral to core fitness tracker features.

[@austinerolls]

Thank you for your excellent review. We appreciate your feedback and can you share us the indoor cycling accuracy.

[@phoneypharaoh]

Excellent review, thank you. I'd be interested to know whether the blood pressure monitor is reasonably accurate and whether there's any significant difference in performance between the 40 mm and the 44 mm watches please.

[@richards2072]

Thanks for your very interesting observations. My go-to channel for sleep score and health evaluations has been the Quantified Scientist where he measures the watch against scientific instruments, as in some cases you also do. Based on his preliminary report the Galaxy Watch 7's accuracy is only mediocre. He comments that the software seems unfinished. Sadly, in his comparisons Samsung still trails Apple. Interesting that you scored them much closer. I'm a S22U and Watch 5 user but I've given up on Samsung for sleep and health tracking and use an Oura ring instead. I'll probably get a 7 for some of the other features and maybe the sleep and health software will eventually improve. Glad to have found your channel and added a subscription.

[@hekios888s6]

Do you know which features are not available when using the pixel 7 phone? Im getting varying info.

[@wearablewhisperer]

From what I can tell so far, it’s mainly the features that require the Samsung Health Monitor App (which isn’t available for non-Samsung phones). This includes ECG, Blood Pressure, and Sleep Apnea (for those countries where those features are approved; blood pressure is not available in the US, for example).

[@xvasek]

Hello, is the textile band elastic? During the night, Is the green light still on? Thank You

[@wearablewhisperer]

The athleisure band is not stretchy (like the fabric is). You might see a red light at times during the night if blood oxygen during sleep is enabled. Even if you have heart rate enabled continuously, you won’t see the green light while it’s on your wrist.

can the galaxy watch 7 display the glucose information from the dexcom sensor, currently I have a galaxy fronter 3 that can display the glucose data from dexcom on the g - watch face without a problem. But I have heard displaying glucose readings may be an issue on the later watches.

Short and to the point review!👌

[@M1n1Mouse]

I have a galaxy watch 3 and havent updated because I havent seen any new watches that gave a real benefit till now. I have been agonising over the 40mm and the 44mm. The 40mm sits on my small wrist the best but since the watch3 has a big frame its only 42mm. Battery is my main concern I want a full day out of my watch and I will use the watch 3 overnight. I sleep really well so its not a night time concern. Will the 40mm using all the bells and whistles like preferred watch face, gps, exercise, emails, text Ai be good for at least 15 hours?

[@CharlynY]

Please do water, shock, and scratch tests on Watch 7.

Hello from Portugal 😁 Thank you for you video. I have one question related with "Energy Score". Does it work on any android smartphone, or does it have to be a Samsung one? Because I received the watch 2 days ago and it hasn't giving me any points yet. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it is because of the fact that I don't have a Samsung smartphone. And, the AGE's hasn't giving me anything either. Have a great day 😁👌

Use the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, and look forward to buying the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.. Is it worth upgrading? What I like most about Watch 7 is the full metal frame around the clock.

[@CharlieLiuPhotography]

Any changes in the AGE index? I realized I can look at it as a monthly view and I do see my chart move up........ towards the high side. Probably not the direction I want to go but once the dots are lined up in the month view, it's a lot easier to see the minor differences.

[@wearablewhisperer]

Exactly the same for me!

[@TimothyBerkey]

Would love to have seen a GPS-overlay of your two devices in addition to the "total miles" computed. That would really give the viewer a greater idea of how this watch was truly performing from an accuracy standpoint. Any chance you could add this (or create a short 2nd video)?

[@wearablewhisperer]

I did the workouts starting and ending from where I live so I’d rather keep the maps private. I plan to do gps workouts starting elsewhere that I can share in the future. My outdoor biking maps followed my route perfectly; my walks were also good, maybe slightly less smooth.

I have been using the Galaxy watch 7 LTE version and my battery drains to 15% under 24 hours. That is without continuous heart tracking, no always on display, no snore detection. How are you able to get 50 hours?

[@RabenschwarzeSeele]

I don't know if she said which version she had (LTE or Bluetooth) also the 44mm version has a bigger battery than the 40mm. I have the 40mm Bluetooth version and I'm not entirely sure which settings I'll stick with long term yet. The biggest change for me was to disable gps, WLAN, NFC, Bluetooth and only activate them when needed. Also I figured that the blood oxygen measurements during sleep aren't accurate due to movements. So I'll probably deactivate them too...

[@aacdallas88]

My battery dies in 10-12 hours with none of the health features activated. I have the 44mm LTE version.

[@gordonvon8321]

I have a 44mm non LTE 7, and I'm not getting anywhere near 50 hours

[@Stefanx]

​@aacdallas88 Same here, looks like there's a lot of faulty units

[@danilos7195]

Unfortunately, the LTE version uses much more battery. The ideal is to disable and use Bluetooth when you have your phone nearby, and activate the data from the internet only when you use it without your phone nearby.

[@zckom88]

What an extensive review, thumbs up! I'm just wondering about the heart rate monitoring with the Polar H10 during the walking sessions. There are lots of fluctuations within a short period of time from the Polar H10. Do you think there's something wrong with this set of data?

[@wearablewhisperer]

Thank you for the positive feedback! Regarding data quality, I noticed those fluctuations and they seem to appear at lower heart rates compared to higher ones. I did question the polar h10 accuracy but the Apple Watch also had some fluctuations that follow the polar h10, just not as large magnitude. I am a stickler for data quality though (I have physics/astronomy and data science degrees), so I’ve got a second polar chest strap coming tonight and I’ll do some more tests with the new one and see if the fluctuations remain or not.
