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

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

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

Is Samsung Galaxy watch 7 worth it in 2026?

C'è solo una cosa da dire se non hai smartphone Samsung non ha senso. Preso un GW8, con OPPO RENO 15, sto avendo molti problemi, anche parlando con assistenza.samsung non si riesce a risolvere. Peccato perché l'orologio a me piace tantissimo.

Antioxidant Index testing works on my galaxy watch ultra!

Thanks for the sharing. Glad that Samsung is not gatekeeping the newer features for the GW8 series.

Pixel Watch 4: 3,000 nits, 72hr battery, satellite SOS — finally something worth the hype?

And it's still the same W5 processor. I doubt that the new co processor will improve the UI performance. Besides being a bit buggy, the performance was 1 main reason I just switched to the Galaxy Watch 8 (and I love the new cushion design on the basic 8😅). In addition it's getting fatter. The GW8 is

Gw6 vs. 8 Classic

I have the GW6 classic and let me tell you that in terms of looks, it will totally outshine the GW 8 for a whole mile (this is a bit more subjective, but i do think most people think the 6 looks more clean and classic, but over all both are nice), screen is a bit bigger on the GW6, and the 6 has the
