Battery life on Galaxy watch 4 classic

This is a known issue with the One UI 8 update. This happened to my watch 5 Pro last month. I've cleared the cache multiple times, factory reset several times and it's still not fixed. I've been in contact with Samsung regarding this issue and they deny there's even an issue with the One UI 8 update

Galaxy watch 5 pro battery mess after UI 8 update

This has been a well known bug since the One UI 8 update. My watch 5 pro has suffered this issue for 2 months now. I have tried every possible fix you can think of and nothing works - 2 months on my watch is still broken. I've been in contact with Samsung, and unfortunately it's not good news - they

Insane battery drain GW6 classic after last OSUpdate

It's a known issue that one UI 8 broke people's watch. The battery drain on my watch 5 pro is insane. I lost nearly 40% overnight when I wasn't using it. And it dropped from 80% to 4% during a 90 minute run. I've contacted Samsung through Samsung Members app and they won't even acknowledge there's a

Smartwatch inutilizzabile dopo aggiornamento, il produttore ignora le segnalazioni e nega l'esistenza del problema

Sì, siamo in 15 solo sul forum italiano con tutti lo stesso problema. Anche la stampa specializzata ha segnalato più volte questo. Ora non voglio fare pubblicità né nulla ma se fai una ricerca veloce guarda quanta roba esce... https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/wearables/ui-8-has-killed-my-watch-5-

Issues with watch linking to Samsung account

Yep. If you're on a Android phone other than Samsung and your phone is on Android 16, then people are having trouble connecting to their Samsung account. I have a Galaxy watch5 pro and I have no trouble connecting with that phone. Nobody has a fix yet. I guess since Samsung is just a startup company

Galaxy Watch 6 classic One UI 8

I completely agree. My Galaxy Watch5 Pro hasn't received an update in almost a year. It shouldn't take this long for things to happen. They could release two updates a year instead of a new watch every year.

Battery indicator drops while charging

Same problem. My Watch5 Pro charges way too fast, and the battery indicator is off. Lots of other folks on Samsung Members Italy have reported this too. Samsung really needs to fix this. https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/wearables/tempi-di-ricarica-su-tutta-la-serie-galaxy-watch5-aggiornata-a/td-p

Getting the GW ultra now, or wait?

Samsung usually offer (in the UK at least) a £200 trade-in value (I went from the Watch 5 Pro to the Ultra), as well as a free band etc. The 2025 refreshed Ultra was absolutely not worth switching, but the Ultra Watch 2 sounds significantly interesting.

ForgeCore | Industrial Tech Watch Face - No Time for Boring Designs

Finally got it! I had to travel home and had little time around work to check and get back here. The face actually completed the install on its own at some point, once I was off hotel wifi and had stable connection. Galaxy watch5 pro Black & orange is tied with the rusty worn face for fav! I see fro
