Weeks ago I reviced an update to my Samsung galaxy watch 5 pro. It's (was) one of the nicest ones because even it has full Wear OS the battery life can last 3 days. The update was Gemini AI.

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

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

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

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

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

Why is raise-to-wake so much worse on Galaxy Watch compared to Apple Watch?

Ah so that's why it takes 11 tries to dismiss the alarm with a double pinch on my Galaxy Watch5 Pro.

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.
