If I had written this Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 review a week ago before wearing and testing this smartwatch, I would have said it was one of the more boring announcements Samsung made during the second Galaxy Unpacked of 2024. I'd also have said it was too big for smaller wrists, a little boring with the same design as its predecessor and hiding behind AI features rather than taking the company's standard smartwatch forward.
But they say you should never judge a book by its cover and I'd say you should never judge a smartwatch before spending at least a week with it. Well, that I have now done and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 didn't just win me over with its punchy screen and fluid performance, but it has even managed to convince me that AI has a place in smartwatches, not just laptops and phones.
