Galaxy Watch lagging badly

Crazy that the GW6 released in 2023 is lagging now. It's just 3 years, even a cheap smart phone can easily last 4 years before lagging The GW6 is perfectly fine before, smooth and no lag. Fuc to Samsung, and fuc to OneUI 8

Galaxy Watch6 Classic completely unusable after update

I got that issue; it's a problem with the launcher and some apps. If you put some types of apps in a folder, like Google Calendar, it makes the launcher freeze completely.bootloop and crash. My friend also got the issue since that guy seems to have the same problem. I think Samsung just threw a bad

Samsung Health removed detailed SpO₂ sleep data after update (Galaxy Watch Ultra)

O monitoramento do SpO₂ especialmente os momentos de quedas e valores mínimos era a única coisa que eu monitorava dos recursos de saúde do Galaxy Watch. Foi com ele que descobri que tinha apneia do sono (posteriormente confirmada com polissonografia). Com o relógio, conseguia monitorar as quedas na

Early Christmas presents for me and my wife. Comming from 5y.o. Huaweis, these two feel like magic!

USA. Within the Samsung Shop app during extended cyber monday sales. I bought the GW7 brand new for $68, by trading in my GW6. Then, the GW7 started to have sensor issues due to water ingress. So, I decided to try and trade in the GW7 for $200 off the purchase of the GW8.

Samsung Health not syncing activities between Galaxy Watches and new phone

I resetted mine and did work BUT 😭 only for 24 hours and then the issue returned. Same with my wife's GW6. Samsung has completely forgotten the fact that S26U is bluetooth 6.0 and didn't update any of the watch manager plug-ins accordingly at all. This is an unthinkable incompetence from a multibill

Installing previous version of Watchmaker 8.6.5 on my GW6 Bluetooth

I purposely did not get a GW 7 or 8, because I knew those would not be compatible, so hoping I could just make my GW6 watches last for many years. Samsung/Google really should have warned us about the implications of UI 8/OS6 killing so many watch face apps. Good luck getting an older model and hope

Does it make sense to get the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (47mm) right now?

IMO no but it really depends on the individual. I'm on a GW6 and performance really suffers on the latest One UI 8 Watch. I would personally recommend to go at least with the GW7 I'm also a regular user of the running coach but Samsung gatekeeped it for the GW7 and above with the latest OS update
