Galaxy Watch6 44 mm to Watch9 44 mm — is it actually worth upgrading?

Based on my experience, i have upgraded each year until this year. Tired of wasting money on only a couple of new features just to not even use them. They sound nice but some are useless unless you buy other health devices. Coming from the GW4, GW5, GW6 & Classic, GW7, to GW8. Save your money. Now I

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

F off Samsung (Galaxy watch8 required to use running coach)

GW7/GW8 has a new processor, improved health sensors and GPS compared to your GW6. Maybe the Running Coach is designed to run on newer hardware, which is why the GW6 and older aren't supported. But you know what's actually annoying? Samsung locking vascular load and anti oxidant index for the GW7, e

Upgrading the 4. To what?

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

Looking to upgrade from my 4-year-old Galaxy Watch 4. Galaxy Watch 8 or OnePlus Watch 2?

I am not a brand loyalist, so my phone right now isn't a Samsung. It's an Oppo Find X9, I had samsung a few years ago when I bought the GW4. I really like the look of GW8. My GW4 looks shit since I didn't use any screen protector or anything of that sorts on it, it's also lagging like hell ever sinc

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

Watch ultra 2024 or Galaxy Watch 9?

hate to be negative but the samsung battery is shit no matter what version you get. if the gw9 offers you something you need then all you need to do is ask yourself is it worth 65$ and I imagine the biggest difference is honestly the size of the thing but i will say browsing online shops for samsung
