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.

Latest One UI 8.0 update for the Watch 7. New charging screen
I'm sad that Samsung is abandoning the round shape for their watches in favor of the squircle (Ultra and now GW8). GW7 for the <3

Regarding the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic
I couldn't ever get past the squircle, ugly bottle cap bezel and smaller screen. Also sticking to my GW6C 47mm. If Samsung had just stuffed the GW8 internals into a GW6C style body, they would have sold out. Instead, they have one of the lowest selling watch models they have put out in 5 years, and

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

Fold7 and Watch8 Classic Impressions and AMA
Thanks for the breakdown and info. The design of the 8 Classic is my final Samsung straw, so leaving the whole brand. Would like to see you compare a real classic - the GW6 Classic 47mm to the GW8 "Classic". I think the screen size would be a standout, because they nerfed the screen on the GW8C to t

Switching to Galaxy from Apple, how does the Galaxy Watch Compare?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S23U and GW 7. Watches are the only sector where other companies have lagged behind Apple. The responsiveness and Smoothness of Apple watch are unmatched. Also the sensors are much more accurate than the competition. So YES. Its definitely a downgrade from Apple watch to Gala

Who admits it?
Design of GW8 series looked awful before and after release. I don't think there would be enough people accepting it. This will definitely force Samsung to focus on its next GW9 designs.

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
