Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

1year2Maker product pagesamsung.com/us/watches/galaxy-watch7/buy/galaxy-watch7-40mm-green-wifi-bluetooth-sm-l300nzgaxaaRead 8 October 2026Official Samsung brand response on the US maker purchase page, dated January 24, 2025, explicitly states a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Response is to the same Watch7 40 mm Bluetooth family in Cream. It is a general product warranty, not a color-specific promotion. Optional Samsung Care+ and retailer extensions are separate. Exact US SKU price-sheet Warranty 365 is corroboration, not the unit-defining source.

Both are also in the API. Back to all smartwatches.
