One UI 8 Watch beta announcement

Interesting. Bedtime guidance is a solid addition. Not super jazzed about the other additions but they are welcome. I'm surprised the requirements are so high. GW7 and GW Ultra or later is steep for new features. The Antioxidant requiring you to take off the watch to measure is interesting too. Wond

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

Watch 4 classic to watch 6 classic

Is the upgrade worth it? Nope. Sorry to be a debby downer, but the Watch 4 Classic and the Watch 6 Classic have almost the exact same specs. The only noteworthy upgrade would be the slightly larger screen on the Watch 6 Classic. The Watch 6 Classic has the EXACT SAME ancient sensors as the Watch 4 C

PSA for GW 8/8C owners, you don't need an lug adapter if you got the hybrid leather band.

Yeah, I can confirm. One of the first things i did was check to see if the leather band was using spring bars. Having a springbar tool makes it even easier to get them off. It also makes me a bit pissed at Samsung (and Google who does the same thing for their leather straps). You just had to put a s

A watch 7 Ultra?

Seriously tho, I've always wondered this. What are you crashing your watch into to break the protectors? I've been wearing a Samsung watch since the first Samsung Gear Fitb so +/- 11 years.... Raw dogging it the entire time... I now have Watch 8.. and have never even scratched a screen. Real questio

Latest One UI 8.0 update for the Watch 7. New charging screen

I'm sad that Samsung is abandoning the round shape for their watches in favor of the squircle (Ultra and now GW8). GW7 for the <3

Regarding the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic

I couldn't ever get past the squircle, ugly bottle cap bezel and smaller screen. Also sticking to my GW6C 47mm. If Samsung had just stuffed the GW8 internals into a GW6C style body, they would have sold out. Instead, they have one of the lowest selling watch models they have put out in 5 years, and

So much bigger

I like Watch 6 much more as new designed watches from Ultra from 2024 and new Watch 8. Watch 7 and all olders looks like real clock, new models like powerful hybrid monster. Sad that Samsung could not withstand the pressure of some fans and the competitive struggle with Apple's design. I hope in fut

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

Fold7 and Watch8 Classic Impressions and AMA

Thanks for the breakdown and info. The design of the 8 Classic is my final Samsung straw, so leaving the whole brand. Would like to see you compare a real classic - the GW6 Classic 47mm to the GW8 "Classic". I think the screen size would be a standout, because they nerfed the screen on the GW8C to t
