Upgrading the 4. To what?

The Galaxy Watch 6 should be more than fine for you. I use my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for simple sports tracking like jogging twice a week or basic home workouts, lots of AI stuff with Gemini, WhatsApp, Spotify, mobile payments, the heatlh functions, translations, or navigation with Google Maps… and

New way of charging GW8C .

Bit of irony here - Samsung UK are (were?) giving away a couple of freebies after confirmation of purchase of a GW8 - "Claim a Duo Wireless Charging Pad and Hybrid or Trail Band" - yes they're giving away a charging pad that's not exactly 100% compatible with the watch. Couldn't make it up if you tr

Google Clock Not Available on Galaxy Watch 4 Classic After Factory Reset – Has Support Been Dropped?

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

Galaxy Watch 8 battery suddenly draining fast

I have a new Galaxy watch 8 classic, about 5 weeks now. At first the battery was draining quickly. Like 5-10% per hour. I was about to return it for a refund (within the 15 day Samsung window) but after a few resets (which included removing and downloading the WEAR app a few times) the battery life

Should I ask for a replacement?

I don't have WhatsApp installed but I've had to reset my GW8 Classic a couple of times after "Samsung Contacts" (an app I don't use, but can't uninstall) started draining my battery down to to zero in eleven hours.

How to setup family member watch with separate number with my phone?

I just went down this rabbit hole and I'm pretty sure you can't. I was trying to do this for my kid. Wound up being able to do it with the galaxy watch 8 and uses my son's Samsung phone to get the eSim downloaded. Then I paired it with an old Samsung phone of mine to manage the watch settings. I'm r

I thought I'd enjoy the GW6 C crown more.

Look out for the GW8. If the GW8 comes and we are still getting 1 to 2 days with moderate apps running (pedometer, messenger, heart rate notifications). I won't upgrade until Samsung releases a watch that will last 4 days. I'm a big Android fan and Samsung needs to step up their game to shift Apple
