The Galaxy Watch 7 is official: nice upgrades all around!

• New Exynos W1000 – 3nm, 30% more power efficiency
• AI smart replies, AI welness analysis, AI workout suggestions
• Sleep tracking enhanced with AI for deeper analysis
• New reading — AGEs index
• Double pinch gesture for hands-free operation
• Watch 7 price: $299.99 (40mm), $349.99 (44mm) 

The Galaxy Watch 7 comes in a circular case, as before, and is slightly thicker than the Watch 6. It still has a touch area around the sides that simulates a rotating bezel, so you don’t need to swipe across the screen to interact with the UI. But we now also have a double-pinch gesture to control the Watch or even the Galaxy phone that’s connected to it — an easy, hands-free answer or reject call, for example.

New health and fitness tracking features

The Galaxy Watch 7 eagerly brings Galaxy AI with the One UI 6 Watch. It uses advanced algorithms to track overall wellness for both fitness and preventative purposes. 

• New Sleep Score – enhanced with AI and now measuring movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart and respiratory rate
• Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) index – measures biological aging based on dietary habits and lifestyle
• Race mode – compare your current and best running/cycling workouts in real time, as if “racing against oneself”

These join an already robust selection of wellness tracking — from ECG and blood pressure to irregular heart rhythm notifications, to sleep apnea detection. 

Samsung’s One UI 6 Watch OS has become quite a robust system, with plenty of watch faces and apps to choose from, and of course – watch face widgets. The new Exynos W1000 processor sounds like a very good upgrade, too — with 3 times faster CPU and 30% better energy efficiency compared to the Watch 6, we might just get a Watch 7 that feels snappy and extremely fun to use.
