The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is Samsung's new smartwatch hotness — but is it worth upgrading the Galaxy Watch 6 for it? No. Here's why.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has been revealed, and while it was somewhat in the shadow of the larger Galaxy Watch Ultra, it’s still a smartwatch you can’t afford to ignore. It’s packed with top specs, a gorgeous display, and all the fitness, health, and wellness tracking you could possibly want from a smartwatch. The design is sleek and svelte, and while there’s no Classic variant this year, the Watch 7 is still one of the best looking smartwatches you can buy.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs. Galaxy Watch 6: display As above, so below: There are few changes between the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 7. The 40mm and 44mm case sizes come with 1.3-inch and 1.5-inch displays and 432 by 432 and 480 by 480 resolutions respectively. Both have slim bezels around the screen, with Super AMOLED tech running the show underneath. They’re crisp and colorful, with deep blacks and enough brightness to be seen in bright sunlight.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs. Galaxy Watch 6: software and features You’ll find the same version of Wear OS on both of these smartwatches. Samsung uses a slightly tweaked version of Wear OS 4 with One UI 5 over the top, and it’s a solid piece of software. Sometimes it’s a little unstable and prone to bugs, but that’s going to be the case on both watches, so neither takes any advantage from that.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs. Galaxy Watch 6: fitness and health tracking Samsung’s smartwatches have put fitness tracking to the fore from the very start, and the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 6 are both excellent watches to track fitness, and have added health and mental wellness tracking as well.
