Galaxy Watch 8 (2025)

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

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

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:

Gw8 is great, but the step tracking is wildly inaccurate. Like 1000s of steps added that weren't taken. It might just he my watch but I've reset it, reinstalled Samsung health, changed every setting... Hopefully the others aren't like this!

No u won't sadly...even i thought the same when I bought gw7 but after just 2 weeks I am selling it to get a older version of apple watch series 8 it is absolutely crap in terms of sleep / tracking runs/ tracking absolutely anything only good thing is looks other than that this watch is no better th

Just got a new GW Ultra, everything running latest version. Trying to start the running test (part of running coach setup) from Samsung Health app on my phone. My error message has now changed to say I need a GW8 or newer to use this function. Last week it said it would work on GW7, Ultra or newer,

Yes, I used chatGPT because I cannot believe my Vo2Max is that low. Easily add +8 or 10. My Ultra doesn't have a running coach which is BS. The app has it but it won't start on my watch because I don't have GW8. Lol. I guess Ultra is my last Samsung Watch.

That's so sad, I wanted galaxy watch to be my all-in-one device. But that seems to be not happening :( All I need it to do is give me running coach, and stop turning screen off during workouts but that seems to be too much for Samsung :D I don't feel like buying Garmin and switching between two watc

The PW3 41 got me at least around 1.5 times the battery. Doesn't sound that much more, but in practical terms it is. I rarely finished the day below 30 percent independent of what I was doing. Sleep tracking, 1 workout (~at least 1 hour), all health features enabled, AoD on,...). I charge once a day

Gw8 and fit3 screwing each other vut in different way. If you make routine/mode with "watch wearing" parameter it get erased from said routine/mode every time you wear fit3 because samsung in their great wisdom made feature only available to oneui8. I also noticed battery drain when gw8 not connecte
