Watch 4 classic to watch 6 classic

The Watch 6 is not just faster cause of the 20% more CPU power its also faster cause it has 33% more ram. ( I have both Watch 4 and 6 and the 6 feels ALOT faster. ) The Screen is not only bigger its also much brighter, with smaller bezels and Saphire glass. The Watch 6 has faster charging and a much

Upgraded from the Watch 7 to the Watch 8!

Congratulations. I too upgraded to the GW8 from the GW7. I absolutely love it compared to the 7. I wasn't sure about the new squaricle design at first but now really like it compared to the basic round design of the 7. Plus the GW 8 offers key upgrades over the 7 with a unique design, significantly

Best older/less new galaxy watches to get?

I just traded in my GW4c for a new GW8 on Samsung's web site. The gave me $150 off the retail price and it cost me $228. I am quite happy with the whole experience and really happy with a much improved watch. The battery is better then the GW4c but still not impressive. I get about 2 days between ch

So much bigger

I understand you. Problem my opinion is that Samsung trying to connect both design circle and square like is Apple watches is (i mean square). That's, my opinion, is mistake. Samsung uniqueness was circle design againts Apple watches. Samsung couldn't do square too because will be another copy like

What app do you use to track your walks?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 that never leaves my wrist, unless to charge. I also take my phone with me, and use an APP called Pacer. I've tried several, and this is APP is the best free one out there. The GW8 is on its way, and I've heard that it is better than the GW7 but I'll probably skip ove

Is galaxy watch 8 worth compared to older models?

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

Watch 8 purchase

As a dev I own many samsung and huawei watches. I tend to wear huawei more because of the battery (10-12 days) and I also like the more real watch-like design. Samsung is much better in integrating with the ecosystem of your Samsung phone, for example DND and alarms synchronize automatically. Wear O

Did the unpopular switch :) 6C -> 8C

Yup - 1.5cm for GW6 classic 47mm version vs 1.34cm for the GW8 classic. I think there is also some appearance effect, given the all black GW6. https://www.androidcentral.com/wearables/samsung-galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-vs-galaxy-watch-6-classic I made the same decision and will get

Question and advice

I've had a Samsung watch from every generation starting from the gear S3. I really liked the more classic look. The 7 series was the first time I got something below the top of the line because the Ultra was just so ugly. I was so excited to get the 8 classic until I saw it. I know people say it loo

Kakva su iskustva ljudi koji imaju Samsungove satove? Dvoumim se između 6 i 7.

Imao sam GW4 3 godine, baterija je pocela da slabi posle dve ipo. Sada imam GW8 Classic i prezadovoljan sam. Ako si u mogucnosti, uzmi GW8, ali u svakom slucaju neces pogresiti. S razlogom su jedni od skupljih, i definitivno su bolji od kineza koji samo kopiraju apple/samsung.
