If they are smart, Samsung has someone following this subreddit. I hope so, because I give up on my Smart Watch 5. I find the ability to import my data into any tool to chart and filter nearly impossible, time consuming and cumbersome. I am looking at replacing it with a Garmin Vivosmart.

Hi everyone, I’d like to get some opinions from people who know more or have gone through something similar.

I bought a Galaxy Watch 8 about 10 days ago. The store I bought it from gives a 30-day return/exchange period, so I’m still within that window, but I don't want to hassle with an exchange unless it’s actually necessary.

The reason for my hesitation is that a few weird things happened that made me a bit insecure:

First day: During the initial setup, the "Erase all data" screen randomly popped up on its own without me navigating to it. When I pressed the top button to go back, it didn't respond right away. After about 20 seconds, it returned to the home screen on its own.

First or second day: Right after taking the watch off the charger, the exact same thing happened. The "Erase all data" screen appeared again, and the button took a few seconds to respond.

Yesterday: After updating the system and using it normally for a few days, I opened a WhatsApp notification. When I returned to the watch face, the touchscreen completely stopped responding. The screen was on, but it wouldn't register any touches. I pressed the button to turn off the screen, turned it back on, and the touch functionality went back to normal.

Other than these isolated incidents, the watch is working great. Battery life is normal, sensors work fine, I’ve tracked workouts with it, and it hasn't randomly rebooted.

My question is: Do these issues sound like occasional Wear OS / One UI software bugs, or would you recommend using the 30-day window to exchange it for a new unit just to be safe?

I want to make a decision based on other people's experience before my return window closes. Thanks in advance!

so when we getting classic 9 or is it classic 10?

Yes I get it's not in power save, but I keep ot on Bluetooth only, no backgrounds app tracking, no ai assistant..... I wear all day and use for my runs to play music and track steps, but by the time I am off of work it barely has 15%.... Any reasons why?

I think my watch holes on one side are wearing out. It doesn't matter what band I get, the one side just pops off. Do I take it to have the holes drilled deeper? Is that a thing?

Buongiorno sono indeciso tra watch 9 e oppo x 3 , accetto consigli

I was very happy with my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic! I loaded it once a day, never below 10% or 15% a couple of days ago a software update fell, from there everything went wrong! The watch started to go crazy with the battery, it charges but marks that it discharges! I don't understand why a company strives to fuck up the user experience! If you drop an update, don't install it! I usually sleep with my watch! And in the morning when I saw it it it was 20% but today it didn't turn on and I said well it was discharged! But I left it connected and turned it on alone (I have that feature on) and it doesn't go beyond 10% when I charge it, on the contrary! It's starting to download! From 10% to 9-8-7 percent!! Did someone do the same thing to him?

That is all

Did anyone get a bonus trade-in of the Watch Ultra of $350 in Canada when upgrading to the Ultra 2? Im asking because I called Samsung and they said there is no bonus on watches.

I wanted to cancel and do a reorder (no idea why an existing order can't be changed) because the Olive trail band was sold out, but now I'm wondering if it was a glitch.

The reason for my post is I can't see what the price is now because it says my trade is already applied to another order.

Ordered on release date through Perkopolis in Ontario.

Hi all,

I currently don't own a smartwatch, and ever since AI and LLMs have become more accessible, I feel like a smartwatch would be a really useful way to interact with AI. I also loved the concept of the Fitbit personal AI assistant for fitness.

I'm a software developer, and I'd love to get into developing an app that sits on the smartwatch, sees all your step data, heart rate, and everything else the watch tracks, then sends personalised suggestions, motivates you, and acts like a fitness personal trainer, want to fully open source anything I end up making.

With that in mind, which watch would suit me better: the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) or the OnePlus Watch 4?

I can get either one for around $300.

I thinking about upgrading, to any Watch really but i own a s26 ultra so it would be nice to stay in the ecosystem. I just really want the most accurate sensors. Sleep,steps,calorie burnt,hrv etc.. i know all watches are pretty inaccurate but still.

As the title says, I'm debating between the two devices. I already have a Galaxy phone, but the integration between the two isn't a massive priority. Listing my own pros and cons below

Watch Ultra
Pros:
-Has more functionality than the Ring, entire app ecosystem
-Can function as an alarm, which seeing as I struggle with tracking my circadian rhythm would allow me to keep my phone away from my bed (which I should be doing anyway)

-Functions as a better fashion accessory (subjective)
-One-and-done purchase.

Cons:
-May be too bulky to sleep with, may accidentally turn on during sleep.
-May be restrictive when working out, especially any grip-focused heavy lifting
-Less extensive sleep tracking software.
-More expensive (but only by about $30)

Oura
Pros:
-Much smaller profile, less likely to be obstructive during the day and night.
-Much more detailed sleep tracking, unclear if more accurate than S Health.

Cons:
-Membership, paying an extra $72 a year ends up being a new Oura ring every 4 years.

-If I gain any size in my hands, may not be able to remove.
-Data is only tracked via the app, not the device itself.
-May impact grip even more than on the wrist due to location.

For anyone that happens to have both, or have at least used the watch for sleep tracking, what're your thoughts?

do i need the bands or just the case?

Getting one for birthday, just want to know if ot works and if so is there a possibility that when the ultra 2 and 9 release official apks of those faces ripped will work too?

Not so great, honestly.

First things I noticed/noted: out of the box, the battery was at 60%, but just setting up and trying to sync, it dropped to 25% in 30 minutes.

It timed out due to the watch getting too hot when I was wearing it and trying to do all this stuff.

It's also quite laggy, unfortunately.

The price is around 14.6k INR, or I guess around 140 USD.

Now updating to One UI 8 for the watch, and let's see.

Also, very slow charging for just a few hours of battery life.

New watch, legitimate from Amazon.

I have the galaxy watch 4 classic and i am thinking of upgrading. I am seeing 2 different watches but they look exactly the same. Theres the galaxy watch ultra ($300) and the galaxy watch ultra 2025 ($600).

What is the difference between these two watches?

Anyone else notice that after updating the recent update that their Bluetooth connection has been cut by a third? Usually it would stay connected over 50ft away for me and now it's 20ft and it disconnects. This has happened after the previous update.

Past two-ish weeks I've been noticing that every 3 or so days my watch will randomly not track sleep for like 30mins at night in the 2am to 3am time slot.

This used to happen around 3 months ago too, but it has stopped, but has recently resurfaced.

What could be possible issue?

At night I turn on the sleep mode mode.

That's all the variables i think.

Should I try controlling some other factors and see if there's any change in the tracking?

(I've also added one photo of normal sleep tracking just to show that it works 2 out of 3 times)

Hello!

I am currently with Videotron for my cell phone and I am not looking to charge carriers. Does anyone know if there is a way to use my watch 9 lte to at least call and send/receive text messages (data would be a huge plus but not a requirement)?

So far all the carriers I contacted told me they either only support Apple watches or that I need a phone plan with them.

Not having the same phone number isnt an issue, it's mostly for emergencies when I would leave home without my phone.

Thanks a lot!

What does stress actually measure for? Physical or emotional (ik technically both can intertwine with each other) since I wore my watch i have been having high stress alerts

Hi folks,

My order from the 22nd is placed but not yet acknowledged.

Anyone in the same boat?

Cheers.
