    This right here is the brand new Samsung Galaxy Watch7. Even though the Galaxy Watch Ultra was the star of the show, this is the watch I would recommend for most people. It looks just like the previous Watch6 but it actually has quite a few massive improvements.
    Same chip inside, same new bioactive sensor, same display, and a lot of the same new software, in a package that is about half the weight and about half the price.

    Additional video notes:
    Colors: green & cream or silver depending on size
    3 band options - this is sport. Also fabric and athleisure
    Band removal mechanism is different from ULTRA!!!
    2 sizes, 40mm & 44mm - this is the 44mm here
    Price: starts at $299, but with link below, get $250 enhanced trade in credit, free band, and 20% student discount
    For additional $50, you can get LTE
    Body is still aluminum
    IP68 with 5ATM, Ultra is 10ATM
    Sapphire crystal face
    No raised edge - be careful
    Or get a case
    Display is 1.31 or 1.47” super AMOLED
    About 330ppi for both
    Digital rotating bezel
    2 buttons on the right side
    New bioactive sensor on the back
    SOFTWARE:
    Energy score
    Create workout routines for multiple workouts - use this to make a triathlon
    Advanced sleep tracking - sleep apnea
    AI suggested replies
    Double pinch to answer calls, play/pause music, or take a photo
    Other gestures like knock knock and shake to dismiss
    Extend ring battery life by 30%
    ACCURACY ANALYSIS
    Dual band GPS
    New bioactive sensor
    Be sure to enable manual start, not countdown! I noticed quite a few workouts were like that by default
    It’s cool that you see a map of where you are during the manual workout start screen - this instills more confidence that it is locked in and tracking accurately
    INTERNALS
    2GB RAM & 32GB storage
    Bluetooth 5.3 for phone and for earbuds
    Exynos W1000 = new 5 core 3nm chip, same as the Ultra
    Battery is 300 or 435mAh which is much lower than the 590 in the ultra
    QUICK UI TOUR
    I wish you could customize these to show two or four at once

      @mike do you think if we wear these watches on the bicep rather than on the wrist, we would get an accurate heart rate reading?

      15:21 Maybe I'm wrong, but you can, if you hold it for a second. At least on the 5Pro, I can change those. Or I can use a face that has all that info at once. I usually change it depending on where I wear it (gym, work, going out) or the time of day, but some of my favorites are the Info Brick and the Digital Dashboard.

      ... It's got literally >≈+FOUR TIMES as much CPU performance... (Both single AND multi-core!)... Along with +33% more RAM (1.5GB → 2GB)...
      Like really, what more do you really need to know other than THAT? 🤷
      The new 3nm Exynos W1000 brings the single largest gen-on-gen performance gain in smartwatch HISTORY!!! If there was ever a time to upgrade, it's now!
      (As Samsung will likely reuse this very same 3nm W1000 chip for the next ≈3+ years/Galaxy Watch models just like they did w/ the 4nm W920 in the GW4/5/6 [with the last case being the slightly higher clocked but otherwise identical W930].)

    I spent more time charging it than I did wearing it and it got old real fast.
    Wouldn't even consider this watch if they haven't improved battery life.

    My watch 2 active was beat to death. Never cracked the glass but never had a case and the outside just got torn up from bumping things. Wore my watch 5 I out a case on it and it's flawless to this day. Currently rocking the watch 6 classic which is my favorite so far. No case but the way it's built I feel like it will hold up, probably end up with some scratches on the sides over time.

    How's the battery life of the 44mm version compared to the Galaxy watch 6 classic 47mm? Does it last longer?
    I'm considering one of them as a standalone watch (with LTE). Was going to buy the 6 classic last year but then decided to wait for the 7 since everyone complained about battery life, and was hoping Samsung did something in that regard. The chip is supposedly 30% more efficient, but no actual data so far from people with the watch. Both 6 Classic 47mm and 7 44mm have 435mAh batteries. Do you find any improvement in battery duration? I can get the 6 classic 47mm for 250$ and the 7 44mm for 295$, so need help on this! bigger screen and better build quality vs new chip and more storage... It comes down to battery duration tbh, but no one mentions it so far.

    Love your reviews. But the problem with Samsung watches is BATTERY LIFE! I can't leave the sensors or screen on bc it dies but evening. Then I have to recharge for 😴 sleep. I need it to last at least 2 Days so if I miss charging I can make it up. Compare 4, 5, 6 battery. .
    The test is full on display with your without activity. How long will the 40mm vs 44mm. Thanks

    Hi, Mike. We're a few days on from when you posted this so I have two questions regarding GPS accuracy. First, have you done any further testing since you posted this to see if GPS accuracy had changed at all (or maybe in a tougher location with trees/buildings, etc.), and second, which size of the GW7 were you using (40 or 44)? Thanks for the great reviews!

  • @willsherman3527
    @willsherman3527 Месяц назад

    Awesome! Great review! One of the first reviews with details! I have had the watch active 2, 5, and 6. I kept leaving them aside due to lack of accuracy for GPS and heart rate. They were okay with the active 2 (for the time), but really lagged after that. I have been using Garmin 55, Polar, or a Garmin 165 recently. The Garmin watches have battery life and decent accuracy, but they are so cheap in build quality etc. Great to see Samsung finally nailing it on some accuracy issues! I ordered one already and will get it next week!
    I don't worry about the battery life. I have a solar powered Seiko dive watch for vacations, and the Samsung's charge so insanely fast.... like you said "charge it while you brush your teeth or something." :)
    The Ultras are just too big . Watches that big remind me of a radio watch I had when I was a little kid. It was HUGE, but it was the 70s, so it did not matter:)

    Can we export Samsung health measurement? Or are you doing this with a different program? I always use the modes on the watch while doing sports. I have never installed a third party application.

I choose the Watch 7 44mm over the 7 Ultra- it was overkill for me with things I had no use for as I compared them though I always get the Classic or Pro models.. satisfied with my choice.. traded in an old Watch 3 and with discounts got it for $103.99 + shipping + taxes total 126.46 so at that price 'had' to get it... all the watch faces and data from my Watch 5 Pro transferred over to the Watch 7.. great video as always

    GW6 owner here who ordered the GW7 44mm LTE. Main reasons are the faster processor and dual frequency GPS. Don't really like the ultra look and it is getting too expensive / bulky for not many extra features. Would have been nice for a better GW7 battery though.

    Please measure lug to lug length on the Ultra and 45mm. The Ultra seems to fit fine on small wrists. The short lug to lug on the Ultra, enabled by the proprietary connection, is a major factor probably. That's a win.

  • @delpinsky
    @delpinsky Месяц назад +1

    I really like the Watch 7! My problem is that I used to wear a sportwatch like the Huawei GT (1st model), which still lasts 10 days after so many years, therefore the battery life of 2 days seems so low. I would hate to have to recharge the watch every 2 days. I would get rid of the AlwaysOn display and use the phone mainly to make/receive a few calls, send a few quick text replies, or just use the GPS to track fitness activity and monitor sleep, leaving the 24/7 heart rate monitor on.

    • @CoryBurke
      @CoryBurke Месяц назад +1

      If I can share my opinion with you...... If battery life is an important item for you - have you looked into any of the Garmin watches? The Venu 3 is a fantastic watch that will last multiples of days (5+) with the display always on. If you think you will get 2 days of use from a Galaxy Watch (either size) with the AOD off and the functions you mentioned - you might - but very likely it won't do that for you consistently. This is a device that needs to be charged often. I wear my Galaxy Watch over my Garmin primarily because the Messaging features are far better on the Galaxy than on the Garmin. BUT, if I am traveling to another state and will be away for a few days - the Galaxy gets left behind so I can enjoy having at least one device with me that doesn't need to be charged every damn day.

If the battery life won't be that great for my usage, I will return it and buy a Huawei Watch GT 4, since I already own the 1st version.
