My condolences, blessings. Not sure how long can GW6 survive but if it syncs with Samsung Health your dad's heartbeats will stay and shown there.

WFS, and the process of making watch faces can be a rabbit hole, so down (not deep) we go :D: WFS is just an interpreter of Android Studios like Photoshop/Gimp is a design program for images. WFS gives you an UI to click through while Android Stdio is text based – at least this is what I gathered on

buy both 44mm, if you buy 40mm it will have lesser battery life difference among them are SOC, GW6 has older 2-core Exynos W930 while both GW7 and GW8 have 5-core Exynos W1000, both GW7 and GW8 will give you more smooth animation with same battery level that Exynos W930 can give yes you can charge y

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

I firmly believe Samsung knows what’s happening with GW6 and there’s nothing they can do, because all what you guys are saying I have done, the sensors in mine not working, so not even reading which hand watch is on . Really mad at Samsung.

Tenho o mesmo problema com meu galaxy watch 6 classic. E a Samsung teve a pachorra de me marketar o treinador de corrida dele (que ela tinha removido recentemente) para eu acessar no relógio/celular e receber o aviso que só funciona no galaxy watch 8.

Go for the Watch 6. Samsung just nerfed the Watch 4 with the OneUI 8 update which broke all sensors making the AOD not work. I recently switched from the GW4 Classic 42MM to the GW6 Classic 43MM.

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.
