I'm planning to get the S25 Ultra soon, and I'm considering picking up the Galaxy Watch 7 along with it.
The only thing holding me back is that the Watch 7 was released nearly a year ago, and I'm not sure if I'd be missing out by buying it now.

Does anyone know if a new Galaxy Watch is expected to launch around July this year?
Would you recommend waiting for it, or is the Watch 7 still a solid buy right now?

Thanks!

They made a replacement for the crack in the corner that I mentioned in my previous post. I opened the box of the new watch they sent me, but it looked like it had been used before. I could be wrong so I won't speak for sure. The watch's screen was a little dusty, but what really bothered me was that the watch was up to date. It already had a June update. I did the updates when I bought it last time. There was no protection on the watch, but I'm not sure if there was one when I bought it before.

How can I tell if this watch has been used before?

i just watched mkbhds video about samsung new products and there was no mention of watch 7 classic... is it finalized or there is a chance they still release one?

I already posted this in another comment, but I thought it was worth mentioning on its own separate post. Particularly since many people have been disappointed by the lack of a Pro model for the Galaxy Watch 6 series. It also means that we probably shouldn't expect a Galaxy Watch 7 Classic next year.

According to PC Mag, there will be a new Watch Pro model next year: "Samsung tells PCMag that the Pro and the Classic versions of the Galaxy Watch will get new models every other year. In other words, since we have a new Classic this year, we can expect a new Pro in 2024."

They said I could expect it this month, but it ain't here yet. Does anyone already have it, or is it just not out yet? Also, does anyone know if the GW7 will get any of the new watchfaces?

Watch arrived this morning. Huge upgfrom the GW Active 2.

Some cool features such as double pinch and knock knock have my 13 year old iphone fan saying in true amazement "wow. That's so cool" but not quite wanting to make the switch to Samsung 🤣. Well not yet anyway. 😉

I've searching about the GW7 updates since my unit still on June, I mean 6 months since the last update/SI patch in the newest model from Samsung really scare me about the future on this model.

Does anyone knows any news about the updates?

Hi Guys! Any ideas when will be the One UI 8.0 Update for the Galaxy Watch 7 Series?

I ordered GW8 the other week and seems like nothing ships until the 25th. I've never preordered a watch, but when I got the S25U it delivered way early. Is this ever the case with watches or should I expect to get it in August?

I can't believe that we're still on security patch 1 June, this is just ridiculous. It's October now and there hasn't been an update since August, which even back then, the update was to "fix" the battery issue and not a security patch, but even that update didn't really work that great for the battery either.

And speaking of battery, my battery is still very bad, during night time, with sleep tracking it loses 13%, which is crazy compared to my GW 5 Pro which was only losing 5%. Having all settings the same.

I'm very disappointed by Samsung this time, I was very satisfied with GW 5 Pro, hence I went and purchased GW Ultra, thinking it would be even better, sadly it's just a total disappointed so far.

Here's hoping they bring back the killer battery of the 5 Pro. Any idea what time frame they'd release it?

Hello, good people!

I’m mainly an automatic watch lover and user. Currently, I’m using the S25 Ultra. While driving or riding a bike, I want a Samsung Watch to receive phone calls, view texts, and make Google NFC payments.

For this type of use, which watch should I get — Galaxy Watch 7 or 8?

I can get a S25 Ultra + Galaxy watch 7 deal for a good price (for phone and watch)

Now the question is

1)Read some stuff on the web that the Galaxy watch 7 had some bug that depleted battery quickly.. and they may have released an update to fix this..1

How bad is the battery life of Galaxy watch 7 currently with any updates so far?

Do you need to turn off any thing to get max battery out of the watch?

2) Currently how laggy is the Galaxy watch 7 UI?

3) Would it be worth wait till July for the Galaxy watch 8 which is only like in 5 months time to see what improvements and design change watch 8 may get?

OR buy it now and trade in the Galaxy watch 7 for the Galaxy watch 8 or potentially even keeping the Galaxy watch 7 till next year for another S26Ultra + Galaxy watch 8 deal (with trade in of the older watch 7) etc?

The main concern I have is the battery life and performance of the Galaxy watch 7 and potential for improvement in those areas for the Galaxy watch 8 (and possible design change)
