Why do people freak out about the battery on the Galaxy Watch 6/7? I mean, you charge your phone every day, so why not your watch?
Well, I am old. I am used to watch lasting up to two or three years without needing a battery. And there are other watch brands that still have a lot of awesome features where the watch lasts at least a week, like the amaze fit brand. I've had three Galaxy watches and I'm kind of over it. Probably g

A 5 or 6 minutes shower is not enough to charge a Galaxy Watch, I got tired of that, my watch 3 and also the watch 7 needed like 45 to 60 minutes to fully charge. Gave the watches to my kids.. they got tired of that too ... Both watches are in a drawer now. I just got a Garmin Fenix 8, charge for 1

Got banned from r/GalaxyWatch
I have had Galaxy Watch 6, 7 and 8. None of them lasted more than 2 days (with almost everything turned off). Tried the Huawei watchfit 3 after hearing about the battery life. Charged it up, used it for a week and still had 35% battery left lol. Only thing I didn't like was having a square Apple-esq

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

Do You Think Galaxy Watch Design Will Be Back To Being Circle?
Not sure why people upgrade so often tbh. Went from an apple watch s3 (2017) to a Galaxy watch 6 when I switched OS. It works perfectly fine, battery lasts two days, and runs the newest software version. And its round.

idk my galaxy watch 6 drains pretty quickly. Can't do night sleep monitor since it will die half way through. I feel like my Galaxy Watch Gen 1 lasted longer, like 1.5 days. There's no chance my Galaxy Watch 6 lasts 1.5 days.

Purchased my first smart watch today!
GW original may be outdated but it has a pretty strong battery life, and a few faces support a moving second hand in AoD mode, making it seem like a real analog watch. I have it and it is paired to my iPhone, works ok enough I also have GW6 classic which is paired to my android phone which sadly is
