One UI 8 please come to Watch 7 🙏🏻🙏🏻😭
It will. Probably in December. Don't want to hurt sales of the "new" Gw8. Samsung always does this. Since the new watches are barely different from the old ones.

Upgraded from the Watch 7 to the Watch 8!
Congratulations. I too upgraded to the GW8 from the GW7. I absolutely love it compared to the 7. I wasn't sure about the new squaricle design at first but now really like it compared to the basic round design of the 7. Plus the GW 8 offers key upgrades over the 7 with a unique design, significantly

Watch 6 and 8 classic comparison
Thank you Samsung for making it easier for all us GW6 owners not to upgrade to GW8.

Best older/less new galaxy watches to get?
I just traded in my GW4c for a new GW8 on Samsung's web site. The gave me $150 off the retail price and it cost me $228. I am quite happy with the whole experience and really happy with a much improved watch. The battery is better then the GW4c but still not impressive. I get about 2 days between ch

Galaxy watch 6C Longer use review and some concerns
Same exact issue with Play Services battery consumption on Galaxy Watch 8, and think of it, the GW8 is the top of the line right now. It's incredible and disappointing that Samsung does such awful things to it's users that pay the premium price for their phones, watches, buds, and all their other pr

Comprare galaxy Watch 7 oppure galaxy Watch 8?
Yeah, if you NEED those watch 8 exclusive features, then buy the 8. However, some of those features require you to also have a Samsung phone paired to the watch as well. If you don't need those features go with the 7. If you don't have a Samsung phone and you're not willing to spend the extra money

Sleep Tracking. Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature an actual joke?
I can tell you the GW8 sleep functions DO NOT WORK. Rest assured it's not you or wrist fitment/ tightness. It doesn't work. It's the software NOT the sensors for me. Download sleep for Android and you'll see the watch work all night. No gaps nada problem. I've reported this many times to Samsung til

Why my watch not show which app use how much battery
I've had this issue for a month on GW8, factory reset only helped. Samsung is useless as I've contacted them several times via Samsung Members app

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

Is Samsung Galaxy watch 7 worth it in 2026?
C'è solo una cosa da dire se non hai smartphone Samsung non ha senso. Preso un GW8, con OPPO RENO 15, sto avendo molti problemi, anche parlando con assistenza.samsung non si riesce a risolvere. Peccato perché l'orologio a me piace tantissimo.
