I have a Samsung Galaxy S23U and GW 7. Watches are the only sector where other companies have lagged behind Apple. The responsiveness and Smoothness of Apple watch are unmatched. Also the sensors are much more accurate than the competition. So YES. Its definitely a downgrade from Apple watch to Gala

I can tell you the GW8 sleep functions DO NOT WORK. Rest assured it's not you or wrist fitment/ tightness. It doesn't work. It's the software NOT the sensors for me. Download sleep for Android and you'll see the watch work all night. No gaps nada problem. I've reported this many times to Samsung til

Running Coach is being gate-keeped behind GW8 (no idea for GW7 since in their presser, Samsung did wrote it'll be available for GW7). Prior to the One UI 8 Watch update, I still have running coach on my GW6 44mm watch but it's no longer accessible on the phone's Samsung Health app Now on the latest

apple is providing their exact same new software regularly to older devices for multiple consecutive years. so does google and samsung. Actually no. Several models lack features that the newest devices come with, even software wise. This is especially true with the newest GW8/Ultra and I don't even

(And ECG.) And it's absolutely a pure software limitation: for the GW4 there are hacked APKs that make it

Yup, you need to activate it with android phone for the Play Store to become available on the watch, so that you could install the Bridge app. If you first-launch the watch in standalone mode, the store won’t let you login, will be just telling you to continue on a phone. As a workaround you can use

Just reset my GW8 as I switched phones and this is infuriating!!! I hate that the alarms aren't synced between my pixel and my watch, without the alarm set on the phone it won't do the battery care, but I want to wake up to the watch vibration to not wake up my partner. I'm resorting to having to se

Same for me. I have a GW8 Classic and a Fold 7. The routine(manual) runs from my phone. But when I start it from my watch through the Settings, it does nothing. And when done from the Tiles, it says "Couldn't run routine. Try again later." Update: I added this query in samsung community below:https:
