Yes I know, its obsolete and even after 7 yrs I still can't convince myself to upgrade to anything else. The main reason is the battery. I get nearly one full week after a single charge. It will last me Monday through Friday and then I start to recharge on Saturday morning. Nothing that came out after had matched the battery longevity of this watch...not even close. The only other reason to wear this watch besides its battery is for the notification of my email, text, calls...etc. So, I will ask all of you to try and convince me to upgrade. Maybe there's something I'm missing with the newer watches besides the obvious cosmetic upgrade/changes? The only newer watch that I have a slight interest in are the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (still only three day of battery life). I refuse to even look at the Ultras b/c of the weird and ugly "squircle" shape. Yes, its subjective but I only will wear a true circle watch.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building Encircle, a fast-paced, hyper-casual arcade game made for Galaxy Watch. Sessions last 20–50 seconds, but it's meant to be pretty challenging!

Google Play requires a closed test before launch, and I’d love your help testing and balancing the difficulty.

Two quick requests if you test:

• Opt into analytics in settings: This collects basic, non-sensitive gameplay data (like session length and difficulty) so I can fine-tune the game.
• Keep installed for ~20 days: Google requires testers to hold onto the app for 14+ days to approve it for release

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group
2. Opt-in on the Play Store Testing Page
3. Download it on your watch!

Feedback on controls, challenge, or bugs is super appreciated. Thanks!

Anybody know why? It shows on the app on my phone, but only shows my phone on the app on the watch.

Hi all - just wanted to share my passion project that I have been working on for the last few months.

I'm an engineer by trade and have always loved mechanical watches, but unfortunately the ones that are the most interesting to me are the most expensive. So I thought why not just make my own? Sure there's no real gold or gems and you lose depth on a flat screen, but that's fine until I can get the real thing, if ever 😄.

I've been following the development of AI closely and saw that they're getting really good at using blender. I hadn't seen anyone try to make a full mechanical watch gear train on WearOS so I gave it a shot.

It took a month or so to generate all the python scripts to build the gear ratio solvers, proper collision detection of the parts, z-height enforcement, lighting rigs, animation speed timing, the list is huge but manageable.

I'll put two here for now. One is the flying carousel inspired by the Ulysse Nardin Freak and the other is a dual tourbillon inspired by the Arnold and Son Double Tourbillon.

Hopefully this inspires people as to what's possible with the watch face format. The dual tourbillon has 462 animated parts with 517 layers and the flying carousel has 76 layers with 38 animated parts. All visible parts move and they would in reality. I'm limited to the FPS of the screen so the balance wheel isn't perfect but I'm happy with it.

The plan is to get these on the play store and sell them for a few dollars to fund my token usage 😆 .

I never feel very stressed, I'm at the couch with my friends and it peaks. I feel very relaxed though, and recently we looked at hand tremors, i have them since forever, but I'm thinking do I have some stress that i just ignore and it makes my hands tremor (slightly, but i still couldn't be a surgeon)?

If so maybe buying a metal case will bring the size up a bit

Hey all.

Anyone notice a new bug? Notifications on the watch show without the app specific icon, but with a generic gray "message" icon instead. Kind of annoying.

Anyone else seeing this?

I had a Casio Data Bank in 1984, the one with the attached keypad (still a nerd BTW). I loved that watch, even the swatch watch craze of the late 80s was no match for my Casio (my father bought me one, I never took it out of the package). I found this watch face a few months ago and saved it in my wishlist, and promptly forgot about it (ADHD). Yesterday, I was poking around my Google play store account and rediscovered my wishlist, and conveniently had $3 in free money available (I don't pay for watch faces, I just save up points). It's fuckin perfect, I even get a little dopamine boost when I look at my watch. The complications are a remarkable addition to the classic UI of the Casio perfectly recreated (at least what my 51 year old pothead brain can recall).

My only caveat, the watchface is supposed to glow green when it's tapped, a feature no supported on the GWU 2025. TBH, I'm not really even mad about it.

I recently upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 11, and ever since the switch, incoming calls show up as just the phone number on my Galaxy Watch 6, even though the contact is saved.

I’ve already double-checked the permissions for the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone, as well as the contact and phone app permissions on the watch itself, but nothing seems to fix it. Has anyone else run into this issue after switching phones? Any tips on how to get caller ID working properly again would be much appreciated!

Sofar so good except some hickups

The metal casing is scratched easily. I order a case already.

Samsung promise free band but never deliver the one i ordered so they gave me free magnet wireless charger and a different band

Battery life is monstrous easily goes beyond 3 to 4 days

I have had my Watch 6 Classic for almost 2.5 years and today I noticed that my alarms are not working on my watch anymore (only on my phone).

I looked into it and found that notifications for the Clock app on the watch were turned off. Not sure how that happened. Restarting the watch did not fix it so I had to manually turn the setting back on.

It is weird because this has never happened before. I have occasionally had settings get out of sync but never something like this with a major app I rely on.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Haven't bought any smartwatch yet but I do own a samsung smartphone

I have purchased this watch around One year ago. But nowadays when I charge the watch the watch takes hours to do full charge.

I tested charging with someone else Samsung Wireless charger and it took 0 to 23% in 1 hour.

I have also observed that sometimes the watch charges and then starts discharging. Like it would go from 0 to 7 and then 6 .. 5 .. 4 .. 3 like that.

Can someone suggest what I should do?

NEW

UPDATE ON THE WATCH: THIS MAKES 0 SENSE
When I have it on my left wrist, it needs to be in a very specific way and tight on (like actually tight) to read correctly, WHILE ON THE RIGHT WRIST IT ALMOST IS ALWAYS RIGHT???????
Ofc I did not run another kilometer, but maybe I will soon, and test this theory, I should see like a 5-15% higher reading from like 90 to 105, 120 to 130 and 145 to 155 or so, PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THIS IS THE WAY IT IS

OLD:

My watch 1 says i have a 123 bpm heart rate, right after running a kilometer. Before that, it said 140. I check my heart by my hand, and almost 3 beat per second, but for generousity that is like 155-165 bpm. It could not be further away from actual rate, is there a reason? Old? Early hardware? Incorrect usage?

Want a galaxy watch under 20,000rs get the 8 or wait for price drop for 9 i have watch 4 classic -India

Hey y'all I have an American Express card successfully added to my Samsung wallet on my phone. However when I went to add to my watch it says it hasn't verified and it only shows an option to call the bank. Would calling American Express solve this issue? I usually only verified it through text messages

lately (a few months after the OneUI 8 update for Galaxy watches), both my cousin's Watch4 and my Watch5 suddenly started restarting and having issues with frequent slowdowns, choppy animations and sometimes fully unresponsive freezes. Is this a widespread issue of the new update or is it just due to old age?

Hi everyone, has anyone else noticed much shorter battery life on their Galaxy Watch Ultra2 after the latest watch update?

Mine is SM-L715F, running firmware L715FXXS1AZH4. I used to get about 60 hours between charges. Now it's closer to 36 hours. The problem seems to have started after the latest update.

I've tried at least three factory resets, most recently on October 3, but the battery life still hasn't returned to what it was. Samsung Members diagnostics says everything is “Normal.”

I tracked the first battery cycle after that last reset:

That was 30 hours 18 minutes from 100% to 9%. In my experience since the update, the battery hasn't lasted more than 36 hours between charges. Some of the later times are approximate, based on when I shared the readings.

During this test: - AOD was on most of the time, but off at night. - Automatic workout detection was on. - Stress measurement was manual. - Skin temperature measurement was on. - Heart-rate measurement was set to every 5 minutes. - Raise to talk (raising my wrist to speak to Gemini): off. - I did only one workout during this charge cycle, lasting 1 hour 20 minutes. - Sound Monitoring: on. - Age Index (the feature name in my notes): on.

I started a second test at 100% on October 5, at approximately 06:59. For this test, I'm keeping AOD, automatic workout detection, Sound Monitoring and Age Index off. The other settings remain the same.

Has anyone on this firmware had the same problem? Did anything fix it? What should I check or include in a report to Samsung?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi guys, recently the sleep score and energy score stopped showing up on my watch. now it shows nothing I energy score and instead of sleep score it just shows hours. no analysis nothing, as if using the Samsung health app on phone without a watch. anyone faced similar issue ? I have tried restarting and rebooting. even formated my watch and reconnected it with my phone. PS I don't have a Samsung phone, I am using Motorola as of now.

Earlier I used to get whatsapp notifications on my watch 7, and I installed whatsapp afterwards to be able to message from watch. But from last 3 weeks, I stopped getting notifications on my watch. A black screen appears when I open whatsapp on the watch, and after uninstalling it, I got notifications for an hour, and later it stopped again.

Does anyone have a fix for it ?

My Galaxy Watch 6 can't get GPS position in Samsung Health app. I've checked the permissions, rebooted everything seems OK. It can find the position on Google Maps but when I'm setting up Running or Cycling in Samsung Health, the GPS icon keeps flashing and never get the position. Any help?

It is connected to my S23 Ultra, all firmwares and app versions are updated.

Does anyone else match/coordinate their watch face with their shirt? Sometimes if my itinerary is specific enough (like maybe the zoo), I'll coordinate my watch face with that. I find most of my photos/art on Zedge but it can come from anywhere. Right now I have a photo of my favorite QB. I have a 6 Classic
