Galaxy Watch7

I am using Galaxy Watch 7 and Amazfit Active 3. Amazfit is closer to my professional medical devices from work. Edit: and topo maps are better than any app on Wear Os

I just upgraded to the galaxy watch 7 (just set it up it minutes ago) 40mm and the Watch 4 classic looks better and the rotating bezel protects the screen. I'm a little scared to break or scratch the glass of the 7. But it's quicker indeed, and lighter but let's see if battery life is better, I don't use the screen always on but was having bad battery life on my aged watch 4, that wad the main reason. I considered the OnePlus Watch 3 for its great battery life but since I own a Samsung s24 ultra decided to buy a used 7 for 81 euros.

If you're worried about battery life, I wouldn't go lte. Drains battery faster. Same thing with your phone on mobile data vs wifi. My gw7 dropped almost 30% battery to youtube music in around 3 hours of playback. That was using my galaxy buds, and having the songs pre-downloaded... on the 44mm Bluetooth model.

Oh yeah without youtube, I took this thing off at 3 am yesterday... at 65%. Music dropped it to that in a few hours though.

I got a refurb from Amazon for 150 US, and saw it for 140 a week later. Looks and works like new FWIW.

I use both the Galaxy Watch 7 and Garmin Instinct 3 Solar. I wear the GW7 during the week and the Garmin I3 Solar on the weekends, when I travel and on vacations so I don't have to worry about charging and I have something that'll actually last during full day GPS tracking. I like the Garmin health tracking but dislike not being able to select the notifications I want on the watch as well as the GW7.
