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.

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

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

GW 8 Action Button

I feel the same way you do about the Action Button — it’s solid hardware but the software options are so limited that it ends up feeling like wasted potential. Most people don’t use any of the preset actions because they’re either redundant or not useful, and Samsung hasn’t opened it up for real cus

Running test /coach GW6 - is this ever happening?

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

Is it normal to have less than 2 days on a full charge? (Galaxy Ultra 2025, one week old)

The visible "learning" process is 3 days for a Samsung Smartwatch, for phones this is 5 daysI've the basic GW8 version and I've 2 days. But my GW7 had around the same Charge it again to 100% another time and report this battery issue via your phone Settings - Google - Send feedback. Must be improved

DONT BUY AMAZFIT

apple is providing their exact same new software regularly to older devices for multiple consecutive years. so does google and samsung. Actually no. Several models lack features that the newest devices come with, even software wise. This is especially true with the newest GW8/Ultra and I don't even

Galaxy Watch 8 leak details full specs, included bands, and higher prices

Here in the states, I upgraded the GW4's (40mm's) to GW7's (40mm's) in our household late last year for ~$45 (USD) each. That did include trade-in of our old GW4's. Directly from Samsung. To your point, I wouldn't buy a GW8 if it's anywhere near the USD equivalent of €379.99 (Bluetooth). Or, even ne
