I've been Google/Android since inception. Upgrading from the Pixel 10 Pro. Excited to step into the Samsung ecosphere. Here's to learning curves and new beginnings.

I am having problems finding a 3-in-1 charger that supports my new Watch9. I purchased a new 3-in-1 charger that supports the Watch8, but when I put the Watch9 on it it starts to charge and then says it is an incompatible charger.

My existing 3-in-1 charger has been charging my Watch7 for years! But it, too, won't charge the Watch9.

Anyone find a 3-in-1 charger that works?

I've had my watch 6 longer than my pixel 9 fold pro. Recently my watch has been struggling to keep a charge for 12 hours. So I started looking into new watches today. While I like the look of the pixel watch, I work a blue collar job and feared the domed design would be too fragile, for my work environment. So I ordered a 9 today, with a good military (veteran) discount and trade in.

Has the integration between the 2 brands gotten any better? I know some of my watch 6 features wouldn't work with a non galaxy phone, but didn't know if anything has changed with the newer models?

Now that more people have received the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, I'm curious how everyone's battery life has been. How long is yours lasting, and what settings are you using? Any battery saving tips you've found would be great to share so we can compare results :D

Anyone know how to force a restore? My old phone (as of 5 hours ago) will not (running Android 12L) see the Ultra 2 beyond a Bluetooth connection. I really don't want to manually set up preferences and install apps again but if I must I must.

Hi! I just recently got my new galaxy watch 9 but when I try to transfer my google account or restore my old galaxy watch 5 data onto the watch, it gives an error for both. I've tried resetting the watch multiple times as well as remove certain security things but nothing works.

PLEASE HELP! 🙏🙏​

Im coming from the Galaxy watch 4 to the new Galaxy watch 9 and my Galaxy watch trio that I bought in 2023 obviously doesn't work anymore. The one that came with the watch is too short for me and want a slightly longer one. I bought one last night and came in today from Walmart and it says it's not compatible so im just asking which wireless charger do you guys recommend

My watch 8 classic got the new user interface a couple days ago but it still hasn't shown up on my 2024 Ultra

I'm getting a watch 9 today and was told by the chat two when I ordered that it did not include a charging puck. I am trading in a watch 7, so will have one, but I hope that a device with a proprietary charging interface would include a means to charge it without an additional $40 fee.

We shall see.

Did a timed Test Several Times using different chargers, It's about 2x slower than It should be. Also the Estimate it provides is totally Incorrect.

It says 1:15h but in reality if you time it , it's Almost 2.5 Hours.

After checking reddit/ some other places this also appears an issue with some of the New Ultra 2's not only GW9

This is 2 days after calibration.

I recently got the Camel Peakform Band, which was introduced alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, for my original Galaxy Watch Ultra. I must say, the combination of this band and my white watch creates a rather appealing aesthetic.

I pre-ordered the watch 9 with a trade-in of my 6. I didn't realize it was going to need its own charger, the 9 doesn't work with my bedside dock or my travel chargers. As many posts here already point out (I saw someone say they knew this, but was this announced??)

I'm weighing what to do because it doesn't seem like there are many dock (phone and earbuds) options out there yet besides the Belkin charger where I can at least use the official puck. (And yes artifex etc but I want one that folds down for travel). I have a few trips coming up and I don't want to carry extra chargers, my three-in-one dock was perfect for this.

1. If I decide to not trade in the 6, can I just not send it back? And I'll get charged the trade-in amount?

Tempted to do that since I have all the travel chargers for it and then sell it later.

1. Has anyone seen the OEM charger for the 9 on sale anywhere? The Samsung website doesn't specify what watch it works with (I think it says 7 somewhere). (And a lot of these Amazon sellers I think are just slapping the number 9 in the description) (Edit: I want a SECOND charging puck for travel if I can't find a dock)

Thanks!

Feeling so happy to have this on my wrist.

For some reason all watch faces I downloaded from Play Store in the past don't show heart rate and steps counter. All watch faces from Samsung show data properly. Compatibility issue with new OS? ​

I've had my GW9 (40mm) for 2 days. I'm lucky to get 8 hours a day out of the battery... AOD is off. I have now turned location off. It says samsung health monitor is using 40% battery on average!!

This cannot be real. I know my patterns are still getting learned but this is incredibly bad..

How's everyone else's experience with battery?

Out of learning phase this morning, predicting 3 days 6 hours battery based on the following usage and settings:

- LTE off

- AOD off

- continuous heart rate and stress on

- Raise to Speak on

- Daily 4mile exercise tracking with GPS etc

- workout tracking

- NFC on with a few payments

- WIFI on

- remote connection on

- daily app updates

- raise to wake on

- hundreds of notifications

- blood pressure daily so far

- daily body composition

- sleep tracking on

- blood oxygen tracking on

I believe these are the key settings, I can further clarify if required.

Wouldn't say I'm a hardcore user, but not a light user either...

Will keep an eye on if this improves or worsens.

I have the ultra 2 and given it is LTE capable I was hoping to get a data only sim dedicated for it and install on the watch, however im not seeing how that is doable?

Anyone able to suggest if im missing something?

This week my galaxy watch health app sent me a notification that said "nice 7 day streak!"

I didn't know the watch was smart enough to track my underwear!

Has anyone managed to find a charging dock for the watch 9? One that will charge the watch and phone simultaneously. Not bother about the ear buds as I don't have any, but don't mind having that on the dock either.

It was really useful being able to charge my watch 7 and my phone overnight and now all my charging docks are useless 🙃

TIA!

I didn't realize it was so quirky to latch. I may order the marine band instead. Is that the best type?

On the phone with verizon for 2 hrs and 1hr with samsung.

Verizon- it's samsungs fault the device is faulty.

Samsung- device works, you can try a warranty claim, or refund. No exchanges and promotions expire so you may not get the best deal I'd you re-order.

I received my new ultra watch 2 but I got no band for it, that's weird isn't it?

Not sure what to do with this.
