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.

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

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 it normal to have less than 2 days on a full charge? (Galaxy Ultra 2025, one week old)
The visible "learning" process is 3 days for a Samsung Smartwatch, for phones this is 5 daysI've the basic GW8 version and I've 2 days. But my GW7 had around the same Charge it again to 100% another time and report this battery issue via your phone Settings - Google - Send feedback. Must be improved

DONT BUY AMAZFIT
apple is providing their exact same new software regularly to older devices for multiple consecutive years. so does google and samsung. Actually no. Several models lack features that the newest devices come with, even software wise. This is especially true with the newest GW8/Ultra and I don't even

Galaxy Watch 8 leak details full specs, included bands, and higher prices
Here in the states, I upgraded the GW4's (40mm's) to GW7's (40mm's) in our household late last year for ~$45 (USD) each. That did include trade-in of our old GW4's. Directly from Samsung. To your point, I wouldn't buy a GW8 if it's anywhere near the USD equivalent of €379.99 (Bluetooth). Or, even ne
