Samsung Galaxy Watch 7
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I love my 7. I wear it more than my Classics because its so light and form fitting.
- I'd never get over non circular design, so 7 is lightweight as hell (compared to my 43mm 6C).
- I recently switched out my GW4 40mm for a GW7 44mm. The main thing I've noticed so far is the responsiveness of the 7. Faster imo.
- Parent context: Maybe you are in love with the watchface. The GW7 is a very simple design. Reply: That's why I like it
- I think Samsung Galaxy watch design peaked here it is minimalistic as well as contain all the necessary sensors.
Cons
- I had the GW7, and the first thing I noticed switching to the Ultra was the haptics. It is dramatically better.
- I have both. Not much difference between a 4 and 7. The 7's are a bit faster, found battery to be about the same.
- I was expecting to get the GW7, but they surprised me with a Ultra.
- The only thing I hate about my 7 is the fact that Facer, and Watchmaker apps DON'T work on it. So any old, custom faces I had saved, can no longer be used.
- My only suggestion is to tweak your settings and turn things off that youre not using 24/7, like AOD and GPS, because they dont have the greatest battery life. I get maybe 2 days out of it, and thats if im only using it to check the time...

Personally, I'll stick with my 7 and wait to see what the 9 offers.
Weird, I had a Samsung Watch Active 2 from 2020 to 2024 and now my Galaxy Watch 7 since June without a screen protector and both have been fine. I went hiking, camping, swimming, to the gym and worked a manual job from 2020 to 2022. I feel the OEM screen is actually very resilient!
