Is galaxy watch 8 worth compared to older models?
buy both 44mm, if you buy 40mm it will have lesser battery life difference among them are SOC, GW6 has older 2-core Exynos W930 while both GW7 and GW8 have 5-core Exynos W1000, both GW7 and GW8 will give you more smooth animation with same battery level that Exynos W930 can give yes you can charge y

Did the unpopular switch :) 6C -> 8C
Yup - 1.5cm for GW6 classic 47mm version vs 1.34cm for the GW8 classic. I think there is also some appearance effect, given the all black GW6. https://www.androidcentral.com/wearables/samsung-galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-vs-galaxy-watch-6-classic I made the same decision and will get

From GW (7 years) to GW7
Hell yeah! I would actually recommend checking prices in your area now. Where I live (Norway) most electronics shops are promoting GW8 and have big discounts on GW7 so I managed to get a very good deal (the shop where I bought even had a bigger discount on 44mm so it was the same price as 40mm) But

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

Anyone considering Pixel Watch 4
I like the Pixel Watch design overall. I think Google embracing the curved edges is very cool. However I'm not a fan of the crown (which I have to wear pointing away from my hand) or the UI navigation. A full carousel is neat but I like Samsung's touch first UI. I can access the application list wit

Love it! Don't mind the chubby wrist :)
Thanks! And yeah, Watch6 often felt a bit laggy, while the Ultra is so smooth. Also GPS is so much better now! I see lot of people complaining that Ultra/GW8 bands are not compatible with GW6/5/4 and viseversa. I get their point but to me the older design how the bands are connected always felt kind

Fair points... no doubt GW8 is ahead in smoothness and polish. But switching just because of the same W5 chip? That’s like breaking up because someone wore the same shirt twice 😅 On a serious note though ... UI performance isn’t just the main chip. It’s how the software uses it. If Wear OS devs actu

Whats the appropriate method of attaching Watch Band to Galaxy Watch 8 / 8 Classic?
I think so. Though it's not completely the same, they both use Samsung's Dynamic Lug System for band connection. The experience and the amount of force necessary is very similar when I am attaching a band to my GWUltra and when I tried replacing the band on my wife's GW8 just now.
