Good Deal?

Yes the galaxy watch has quick access to Samsung health available in oneui to measure body composition check the exercise intensity stress levels and the gw8 has antioxidant index. For me the most important are the sleep coaching and the exercise tracker 👏🔥

Switching to Galaxy from Apple, how does the Galaxy Watch Compare?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S23U and GW 7. Watches are the only sector where other companies have lagged behind Apple. The responsiveness and Smoothness of Apple watch are unmatched. Also the sensors are much more accurate than the competition. So YES. Its definitely a downgrade from Apple watch to Gala

What app do you use to track your walks?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 that never leaves my wrist, unless to charge. I also take my phone with me, and use an APP called Pacer. I've tried several, and this is APP is the best free one out there. The GW8 is on its way, and I've heard that it is better than the GW7 but I'll probably skip ove

Comprare galaxy Watch 7 oppure galaxy Watch 8?

Yeah, if you NEED those watch 8 exclusive features, then buy the 8. However, some of those features require you to also have a Samsung phone paired to the watch as well. If you don't need those features go with the 7. If you don't have a Samsung phone and you're not willing to spend the extra money

Watch 8 purchase

As a dev I own many samsung and huawei watches. I tend to wear huawei more because of the battery (10-12 days) and I also like the more real watch-like design. Samsung is much better in integrating with the ecosystem of your Samsung phone, for example DND and alarms synchronize automatically. Wear O

Sleep Tracking. Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature an actual joke?

I can tell you the GW8 sleep functions DO NOT WORK. Rest assured it's not you or wrist fitment/ tightness. It doesn't work. It's the software NOT the sensors for me. Download sleep for Android and you'll see the watch work all night. No gaps nada problem. I've reported this many times to Samsung til

Question and advice

I've had a Samsung watch from every generation starting from the gear S3. I really liked the more classic look. The 7 series was the first time I got something below the top of the line because the Ultra was just so ugly. I was so excited to get the 8 classic until I saw it. I know people say it loo

From GW (7 years) to GW7

Hell yeah! I would actually recommend checking prices in your area now. Where I live (Norway) most electronics shops are promoting GW8 and have big discounts on GW7 so I managed to get a very good deal (the shop where I bought even had a bigger discount on 44mm so it was the same price as 40mm) But

Is Samsung Galaxy watch 7 worth it in 2026?

C'è solo una cosa da dire se non hai smartphone Samsung non ha senso. Preso un GW8, con OPPO RENO 15, sto avendo molti problemi, anche parlando con assistenza.samsung non si riesce a risolvere. Peccato perché l'orologio a me piace tantissimo.

You guys are right, it's the strap and case. Watch 7 still looks good.

I ordered it today, the hugly look of GW8 convinced me, but still guys, let's be honest, Huawei watch 4 pro looks much nicer. In the end I chose Samsung bcs I have an S23 and also for the availability of apps in the store...
