One UI 8 please come to Watch 7 🙏🏻🙏🏻😭

It will. Probably in December. Don't want to hurt sales of the "new" Gw8. Samsung always does this. Since the new watches are barely different from the old ones.

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

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

Thank you Samsung for making it easier for all us GW6 owners not to upgrade to GW8.

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

Comprare galaxy Watch 7 oppure galaxy Watch 8?

Yeah, if you NEED those watch 8 exclusive features, then buy the 8. However, some of those features require you to also have a Samsung phone paired to the watch as well. If you don't need those features go with the 7. If you don't have a Samsung phone and you're not willing to spend the extra money

Sleep Tracking. Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature an actual joke?

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

The list of subtle animation differences you get by going from an A series to S series

At this point, the chipset no longer matters as like before. What matters is marketing and branding strategies, which makes much more sense. Just think that why choose an S-series product when you have similar features on A-series? Besides the hardware of the S-series, the premium feel of its softwa
