Samsung’s recently released Galaxy Watch 7 is facing criticism from users due to significant battery life issues. Many users have reported that their watches are unable to hold a charge for a full day, even under light usage. One user shared their experience, “It was fully charged and I’ve had it on since 6 am.
It’s now almost 5 pm…my battery is at 8 percent. Is this normal? I got this watch a few days ago.”
Another user reported similar issues, stating, “I charged my 40mm non-LTE 7 to full at 7:30 pm, went to sleep, and got a buzz at 4:30 am that my watch was at 5% left.
It didn’t even last the night for my alarm to go off at 6 am.”
The root cause of the battery drain is still being investigated. Some speculate that it could be due to software bugs or inefficient power management within the device. Samsung has yet to release an official statement addressing these complaints.
