Thank god 'SAM Mobile' has responded for once on "Why your Galaxy Watch hasn’t backed up to Samsung Cloud in ages"
When I had my Watch 5 Pro and my Watch 6 Classic, I'd meet these conditions near every night and it still wouldn't backup. Samsung just needs to admit that their auto backup is completely broken and bring back the ability to manually backup.

GW 5 Laggy (Even after wiped cache, and reduced transperancy.)
This lag still exists in Galaxy watch 6 classic, maybe slightly less than this. I upgraded to watch ultra and it's as smooth as a phone/apple watch. I believe the newer processors after watch 7 have no lags

Finally ui8 for 6 classic lte
I also updated my watch 6 classic Lte today (Canada). But the thing is that they still haven't fixed the lag that this watch had from release. I also have a watch 7 and its was also choppy at release but after one ui 8 its smooth as butter. I think we all should report this issue and give feedback t

AOD auto-brightness not working on 3rd-party watch faces on One UI 6 and 8
The same thing happens to me. My Watch is the Galaxy watch 6 classic with One UI 8. I designed a custom watch face in Watch Face Studio for my personal use. The watch face AOD auto brightness worked in the previous UI. Now it does not work after the update. I am sad.

Trying to replace the broken firmware that Google purposefully installed to destroy my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic . Does anyone happen to have firmware Model: SM-R965U Region: XAA Build: R965USQU1AXC2
I guess I could have explained better. If you use only the standard watchfaces for your watch, then you may have not noticed the jump from Wear OS 5 to Wear OS 6, which fully implemented Watch Face Format, Google's new standard for their Wear OS. Wear OS 6 WFF is XML based, for the sheer reason of s

I think it's time to upgrade unfortunately..
Yeah, depending on what watchfaces you use, replacing the battery and staying the hell away from "Poison Apple" Wear OS 6 on the newer watches is the way to go now that Google has essentially locked down and destroyed its Wear OS. If you don't use any custom faces that it's dealer's choice. I've nev
