Galaxy Watch 7 Review: This Feels Different.

Performance in Galaxy Watches have felt stagnant for years now. The Galaxy Watch 4 launched in 2021 with the Exynos W920. They reused the exact same processor in the Galaxy Watch 5 & last year the Watch 6 had a slightly tweaked version with a tiny bit more performance - I think it was like 18% or something, nothing to brag about. Well, the Galaxy Watch 7 is rocking a new Exynos W1000 processor and it has like triple the performance. Yeah, just a massive bump and in day to day performance it makes a big difference.

Loving my 44mm Watch 7. It's super quick and smooth. Battery is atleast 1.5 days with sleep tracking on, workout detection on, heart sensor & AOD off.

[MrTagoe-xwyg]

I'm not sure if it's just me but... there's something about the way this video is filmed and edited is so clean. Respect @Thao seriously 👏🏾

this actually looks pretty good. not a fan of the removal of wireless power share compatibility, and some OS bugs/quirks you mentioned aren't ideal. but if I can get it with a decent discount at some point it looks pretty good. I still kind of prefer the pebble/like rounded design of the Pixel watch, so still unsure. But the new watch bands of the 7 do look cool. I do wish the rotating bezel was on this one too tbh, but maybe the next Classic will be a strong contender too.

I upgraded from my watch 4 to the 7 and I love it!! I still have to get use to the new changes I was use but it’s fun finding out all the cool new features.

I'm coming from the 6 classic and it's still a clear upgrade. The 6 used to take around10 seconds to open samsung pay must of the time making me awkwardly wait at the cash counters. Everything in the 7 is snappy so far

[FrancisSyCoCo]

I just can't resist leaving my 6 classic. That rotating bezel and the more premium look. They should have retain the rotating bezel...

Easy one of the best tech reviews I've seen -- such a good balance of keeping things digestible while also delving into some of the nuances that matter to specific kinds of buyers. I've been contemplating making the switch from the Apple ecosystem to Samsung over the past few weeks and have scoured through hours of reviews/comparison videos on youtube at this point, but this one easily gave me the most insights around the watch experience. You've got a sub from me and I'll definitely be looking through more of your Samsung content. Keep up the amazing work!

I got the ultra and before i received it i thought it would be the same. But its much more smoother and something about it feels different. I like it.

Thank I was waiting for your review on this. Please also do the galaxy watch ultra too!

[steveyue]

GREAT REVIEW THAO !!! I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years now and I thoroughly enjoy your video detailed revies on tech. I've owned Galaxy watches 4, 5 and 6 and now since watching your most informative review on the 7, and Samsung offering $250 Trade In (over ($200 Trade in two weeks ago), for $75 Net, I'm going to take the plunge. (Too bad there is no black sports band, huh?) Thao, I really appreciate your deep dive into the Specs and differences, improvements, hints, suggestions, comments and opinions. I can see myself watching your video as I set up my new Galaxy Watch 7 in a few days. Thanks again for your great review. Keep up your great work. Latterz, Steve

Thao, thank you for mentioning the rouge BG app problem at 5:32. I have the Ultra, and for more than a week have been failing to get a day or a day/half out of it. I restarted it, checked the app status, and it seems to be quite a bit better already. I hope this bug is fixed soon!

Love your videos I just bought the strap band for my galaxy watch6 classic to make it look like the 7 it looks really nice

[johnpineda]

Im really enjoying my galaxy watch 7 44mm in green i upgraded from the galaxy watch 5 44mm and its a noticeable difference in smoothness

[carinamrosa]

Hi! Are you using the 40mm or 44mm in this video? Thanks!

[tiawanamorton-johnson]

Love this content about the Galaxy watch 7. However, what size is the watch face you have, the 40mm or 44mm?

[ali_imranke]

I've also encountered the same issue with the GW6 classic 43mm. Sometimes apps go rogue in the background and drain the battery.

[ArquellEastland]

Great video Thao! No you’re not the only one that had the google assistant battery draining issue, it happened to my watch 6 classic when I first got it. But excellent review as always, I was debating on upgrading due to the processor speed increase, but I’ll wait for next year’s classic refresh!

[mridhulsivadas]

Best review of watch 7 I've seen so far. The way you showed how the new processor made the watch smoother blew my mind.

[ronaldoace]

@1:16 - I assume you meant to have 2021-2022-2023
I'm quite sure they didn't release the 4/5/6 watches all in the same year

[jhlmata]

Hi Thao.. what size of watch are you wearing? Thanks
