Came across an ad for JB Hi-Fi advertising the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 44mm was on sale.
The sale applies to both the Green and Silver colours, and the LTE versions are $349.
I picked up the Green LTE model a bit over a month ago during JB's last sale, and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a new smartwatch.
This is my first post, so please be gentle if I made any mistakes.
This is the international model, so not sure if things like Samsung Pay work?
Didn't notice that, warranty period probably differs too (and have to deal with the seller)
yep - sammy pay won't work (even if the attached galaxy is an AU model)
Have this watch but its UAE version.
Dont use Samsung Pay but google wallet/pay and all features working fine.

TCB CB deal?

i have Watch 6. Is there any significant difference
I have a 4 and am tempted. But the 4 does everything I need (track runs, play offline music)
..and still supported. In the same boat with 4classic. Battery is starting to get to me ~1 day but think I can wait another year
I didn't know you could save music on this watch to play offline. How does that feature work?
Spotify watch app lets you download the tracks locally. Add your cc to Samsung Pay and you can experience the freedom of going for a run without your phone
I've got the 4 and 7. The 7 has way better battery life and overall alot more smooth and zero lag.
Frustrating using the 4 but it's still doing its job for the gym.
Yeah I've got both 4 & 7. The 4 was fine, but the 7 does run a lot better. Better battery life and overall usage, great screen.
Was planning to use the 4 for some stuff and never ended up doing it.
If you owned the 6, it wouldn't be worth it, but the jump from 4 to 7 would be worthwhile IMO.
Hardware wise; just tiny changes to design & build and minor sensor / processing improvements (up to 30%)
Software wise; Sleep apnea + Energy Score + AI insights + longer software support updates
Only worth it (I reckon) if you place a high value on these things^
Thanks.. Yeah doesn't look like much point doing upgrade on this and wait for next version up

I had a 6 that got replaced under warranty by Samsung with a 7. Barely any difference, save your money and wait for another model if the 6 is still fine.
I have the 6 4g version. Really struggling with the Battery
Any significant difference between 7 LTE and 8 lte ?
Why not get it from Big W via Everyday Market and stack with 30% cashback?

As reported above, seems like an international version
The above link is from BuyMobile. My link is for Big W
Yes, just checked that, apologies

Bluetooth:
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/1122312131… $299 - $89.70 CB = $209.3
LTE Model:
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/1127985434… $349.99 - $105 CB = $245.00
Mobileciti the model number matches AU version, BigW only sell AU afaik.
I was hesitating till I saw this
You might have just made me part with my money
How's the battery life for this one?
I have one - still dire, ie. lucky to get through a day
That's odd perhaps may be some sort of issue on your end?
I have the same model (GW7 BT 44mm) and with AOD turned on and continuous heartrate monitoring enabled, I can definitely get 2 days out of it.
I don't wear it to sleep though, which would probably help the battery life a lot but that would still be irrelevant in this scenario if yours doesn't even get through the first day
I have a GW7 LTE 44mm, but I have LTE disabled. I have AOD turned off (but turn it on when I go out), and it lasts me day or two. I pop it on the charger every morning I go to the shower, and by the time I am back to put it on it has enough to last me through the day and the night that follows.
I really liked Fit3 that can be had for much less, and provides 95% of functionality and lasts a week, but GW is flashier.
Fit bands are the perfect value item for myself as well.
Had the Pebble Smartwatch, LG watch G100, then Armani AX watch, then Ticwatch 3 Pro, and now settled with Xiaomi Band 10 (cause the Fit3 wasn't on sale).
My use case is purely for health readings, notifications of text/call when away from my phone, and fitness tracking. Given the Xiaomi Band and Fit 3 covers 90% of my smartwatch use-case, was much better value.
I see the function of LTE/ calls on your watch when you're out and about, but honestly always carried my smartphone with me, so made no sense when I was shopping for my Ticwatch replacement after it died. The only thing I really wanted was google wallet/NFC payments outside the other features.
Someone found Australian variant for the TCB deal,
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/1122312131… $299 - $89.70 CB = $209.3

Ill stick with my pro 5 with 590 mAh for now
hows the battery life vs apple watch s7? and mi band 6.
Not sure if anyone here is cross-shopping or just interested, but I am getting around 5 days battery life from my OnePlus Watch 3 (AOD off), which cost about $330 from Aliexpress after discounts and cashback. Obviously lack of warranty is the trade off, but definitely worth it for me. Very happy with the watch.
Edit: just saw there is currently a deal posted for it here for ~$285 possibly plus some cashback.
I'm hearing cases of the OnePlus watch 3 user's with waterproof issues.
Can't comment on that front, I don't wear my smartwatches in water.
Why only 44mm model?? Wrist discrimination.
Good option for school kids who need calling ability and Google Maps?
Got one, thanks OP. I've been looking at prices for a couple of months and this is decent.
Having owned one for over a year now, would not recommend. Sleep tracking sucks. HR monitor not accurate. Battery is meh. Better off getting a Huawei, Apple or Xiaomi
Mine doesn't even last 24hrs. No LTE no Bluetooth -_-
thanks OP, bought green and silver
Is this international or australian version?
Do Galaxy watch 7 's ECG and Blood pressure monitor work for Pixel phone ? Thanks !
"The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 typically offers approximately one day of battery life, lasting around 22-28 hours with typical usage including features like Always-On Display and GPS. Daily charging is often necessary, as the battery drains quickly in 24 hours…"
After Withings Horizon 30-day battery (no GPS, but my only problem is no contactless payments) and Garmin Instinct 21-day battery (no problems here), these "charge every night" seem like a terrible and unacceptable joke. Could never justify charging a watch daily, or even weekly anymore.
Can you get TRS on stuff which comes to under 300$ after getting a cashback?
