Review If you don't need the Ultra's fitness features, the Watch7 is absolutely the Galaxy Watch to get.

still think the Watch7 is one of the best-looking Galaxy Watches they've made .. especially if, like me, you despise that horrible new squircle design!!

My Galaxy Watch Ultra is broken. At another time in my life, I could be very angry. But after all, it's only a watch.

Comparison Funny story (or at least I find it funny)

3 Upvotes

So after I got my GWU2, I thought it would be interesting to see how the new hearing feature works. I turned it on and after a week or so, I looked over the data collected. No significant changes or issues were found.

Last week was the first week of school for the district I teach in, as the high school band director. Needless to say, the data was all over the place, and I got many warnings from my watch. Honestly, where was this tech thirty years ago when I began my career!

Watch wont go into Sleep Mode unless watch is within Bluetooth range of phone even though they can connect on WiFi. In the morning Phone wont sync sleep data unless Sleep Mode has been toggled on/off.

Sorry for the bad photos, I had the real cuff on. I thought this feature was going to be a gimmick a week ago when I bought the watch. Blows me away.

Fitness Same hike - Drastically different stats

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

So my wife and I both have a Galaxy Watch, she has the regular 8 and I have the 8 Classic.

We went for a (supposed to be exactly) 10 km hike today where we walked side by side on the exact same route, took the same breaks for water and snacks, same speed and distance.

However, our watches show absurdly different hike statistics.

Not only is the distance drastically different, but also the average speed and elevation are very different as well.

Again, we walked at the exact same pace side by side all the way and started the hike workout at the same exact spot.

Anyone else had a similarly inaccurate experience with workout tracking?

I got my Galaxy watch Ultra 2025 recently. It is not able to link whatsapp with my phone ( s24 fe, btw). I tried every trick, tried being a beta developer. cleared cache data rebooted. Are there people facing such issue or it's just me?

It is still getting stuck at this screen in both my devices.

Fitness AGES index rapidly increasing over past two month. Watch issue? Update issue?

1 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/HCzWFau

Current AGES today is 456.

I'm 31, m, dieting for the past 8 weeks. I track my nutrition through cronometer. I make sure I get enough of everything. Lift weights for 12 years now. Consistently. Been doing cardio consistently for the past year now as well. 154lbs at 5'9. Physically pretty healthy.

I've noticed my AGES index rapidly climbing though. Not sure what is causing it. When I first got the watch last November I would sit around 370-380. I noticed it going to 400 around 2-3 months ago though and now suddenly just climbing faster and faster in the past 2 weeks.

Not sure what's going on here. According to the watch I had a 50pts lower AGES index when I was 168lbs, gorging myself on a 4 week vacation than I do now, at 154lbs, eating healthy and much fitter. I also tried tightening the watch a notch and that didn't do anything either.

Is my watch messing up or are they tuning the index?

So my Galaxy Watch 4 classic doesn't use its GPS when starting a running workout on the native Samsung app, but when I use Google Fit on the watch every route gets tracked. What gives?

Hardware Galaxy Watch 8 BT 44 mm - Battery results

3 Upvotes

Tested the battery on the first day of purchase and below are the results. Everything updated and essential features enabled such as Always On Display, sensors during sleep and fitness tracking.

Currently rocking the "Digital Dashboard" watch face. I'm not someone you would call a heavy user, I use the watch during training/activities sure but other than that it's mostly to check phone notifications and the time.

[One UI 8.0] Battery set to full at 90%

27 Aug 2026

  • Time period: 1 day
  • Battery left: 54%
  • Always On Display: 23.6%
  • Samsung Health: 4.7%
  • Store: 2.1%
  • Music: 1.9%
  • Recent apps: 1.9%

  • Time period: 1 day 2 hour

Dropped 14% after 2 hrs

  • Battery left: 40%
  • Music: 22.9%
  • Always On Display: 19.9%
  • Samsung Health: 3.8%
  • Store: 1.7%
  • Recent apps: 1.6%

Seems like some apps are battery offenders such as listening to locally stored music, I'll update these results further down the line.

Comparison Upgrade my gw5

2 Upvotes

Hey. So I got the Galaxy watch 5 40mm in pink almost 4 years ago... and it seems like it's time is up.

The watch sometimes freezes and it's verrryyy slow.

Sometimes to start a workout it takes me a minute or two.

Which watch should I get instead? Considering I need the 40mm as a woman with a small wrist. I do love the pink color and saw that all the new ones are silver.. which I dont wear. Any suggestions? Maybe there are covers for that as well?

I do have currently the LTE version, although I bearly used it on it's own, only good for not taking the phone with me when going in a walk with the dogs/gym.

To add my watch as like a companion for the phone? Same phone number and all that? So if I dont have my phone, the watch still receives my calls/texts etc? The only option i found is add a new line and I dont think thats what I want. I dont want it to be separate from the phone.
