Samsung Finally Made A SmartWatch The FutureLawyer Won't Buy. One man's striking design is another man's big, ugly fashion statement. The new Galaxy Watch Ultra is expensive ($699), ugly (a great big square size), and no better functionally than the Watch 6 Classic that I have worn for a year, and could happily wear for a lifetime. Pairing the Ultra with a garish orange silicone watch band is like wearing a Seventies open shirt and bell bottoms to a funeral or wedding. I have owned every SmartWatch Samsung has ever made, and I will never buy this one. I suppose it had to happen. Like wrist watches from time immemorial, watch development reaches a stage where brand, and luxury, and design eclipses the reason watches are useful, which is the tasks they perform. It took longer with digital watches, because they are so much more useful. But, when the internals become standard, the externals become the only new selling points. Stick with a cheaper, but great, Watch 5 or 6. They don't call them "Classic" for no reason. https://lnkd.in/d3whJJdR

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Samsung is busy preparing a major update for Galaxy Watch owners, bringing a raft of new AI features to older smartwatches. In the meantime, the company has slashed the price of the Galaxy Watch 6 ahead of the rollout.Shoppers in the UK can pick up the Galaxy Watch 6, or Watch 6 Classic for £75 ($21.59 or ₦16,594.50) less, now down to £324.00 ($412.13 or ₦316,599). This is combined with up to £175 ($222.60 or ₦170,760) trade-in value for your old smartwatch. The highest-valued items Samsung will accept are Apple Watches, specifically the Apple Watch Ultra.The reason for the price cut might be because Samsung is about to launch the Galaxy Watch 7 next month at its Galaxy Unpacked event. New rumours suggest that the Korean company is planning to release 40mm and 44mm sizes, like the Galaxy Watch 6 range, but also a brand new Ultra model with a 47mm titanium case.The standard Watch 6 hasn’t been discounted yet, but it likely will be as we approach the launch. If you’re considering the Watch 6 Classic deal, it might be worth waiting until after the launch event on July 10th.U.S. shoppers can now get in on the action with a new discount on the Watch 6. Samsung has knocked $60 (₦46,200) off the Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic, alongside upping trade-in prices, which max out at $250 (₦192,500) for the Apple Watch Series 8 or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.The company has also included discounted Galaxy Buds as part of a bundle deal, bringing them down to $99 (₦76,230) from $299.99 (₦230,992.50). As is typical with Samsung’s earbuds, they’re often discounted, so you shouldn’t ever pay full price for them.Elsewhere, Samsung is continuing its Galaxy S24 Ultra double storage offer. Buyers will get a 512GB storage option for the price of the 256GB model. Samsung has now paired this with an enhanced trade-in price of up to $750 (₦577,500).To get that, you have to hand over last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, which isn’t worth it considering the new AI tools the device received recently. But S21 Ultra users can get a good $550 (₦423,500) for their handset, while iPhone 13 Pro users can get $350 (₦269,500) for their phone.There is a good chance that Samsung will drop prices for existing wearables even further to make space for new tech. Or, if you want the latest device, the company will run some aggressive pre-order deals with enhanced trade-in prices and a bundled freebie, probably a pair of Galaxy Buds.Those same Galaxy Buds are currently being bundled with all Galaxy S24 purchases. This isn’t as impressive as other recent Samsung deals in the UK. Last month, the company slashed between 22% and 38% off almost all Galaxy phones.If you’re a current Galaxy Watch owner who isn’t looking to upgrade, Samsung is planning to roll out new AI features via One UI 6—the first major update for Samsung wearables in a while. The update focuses on enhanced recommendations based on personalized health data, with new

I have received the #redmi Watch 5 Active for reviewing and this is my first impression of what seems to be a decent product. What do we look for in a smartwatch? - Looks - Function - Ease of use? Perhaps - Battery life? Sure 🚀 The watch looks fabulous, to be honest. It has a dominant wrist presence and looks classy. The metallic body exudes a very premium vibe. The silicone straps complement the design language. 🚀 The LCD is 2-inch wide and goes up to 500 nits in brightness. The lack of an LED is hardly felt. However, the LCD does mean that battery drainage will be an issue over the long haul. This also means that there is no Always on Display. (Cry more) 🚀 Does 'built-in Alexa' do anything for you? It might, for some. The virtual assistant from Amazon is now available on your wrist. However, it does not play music or help you start your workouts. 🚀 The IPx8 rating feels a little underwhelming, given that the Redmi Watch 3 had a 50 ATM water resistance. 🚀 The presence of Xiaomi's HyperOS does add to the overall user experience. It is user-friendly and very well-designed. The first impressions of the Redmi Watch 5 Active is on the BW Businessworld website: https://lnkd.in/gwze7UhE | Xiaomi Technology | Xiaomi India | BW Businessworld | #tech #review #techreview #firstimpression #firstlook #unboxing #redmi #redmiwatch5active #smartwatch #consumertech

Google announced the update of Wear OS 5 at Google I/O 2024 and it didn’t take long for Samsung to launch the update to its new line of Samsung watches: the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. These two great smartwatches are now joined by all of these: Galaxy Watch It is not surprising that the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra come with Wear OS 5, since Google’s operating system was released with these watches, being the main software of the Korean firm’s smartwatches since they changed the operating system Tizen in 2021. It is true that Samsung superimposes a customized version of it under the name One UI, but the reality is that, underneath it, as happens with mobile phones, is the Google operating system. And these will be the next smartphones to enjoy this operating system or that are already doing so: Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic Samsung Galaxy Watch FE Samsung released beta versions of One UI 6 and Wear OS 5 for some of these watches months ago, but some are still waiting for the update. Don’t worry, it will eventually arrive. Google Pixel He Google Pixel Watch 3 It is the first Pixel Watch to run Wear OS 5, but it won’t be the only one. In fact, the brand has announced that the rest of the watches in its catalog will also be updated in the coming months: Google Pixel Watch Google Pixel Watch 2 OnePlus OnePlus devices generally lag behind Samsung and Google in terms of number of updates, but despite this, the OnePlus watches are now ready to receive Wear OS 5. In fact, the brand has already said that the OnePlus Watch 2 will receive two major Wear OS updates and three years of security updates and, since the watch launched with Wear OS 4 in February 2024, it should receive up to Wear OS 6 and receive security patches until early 2027. However, OnePlus has not detailed when these updates will be available after their release. Oppo The Oppo Watch Wear OS 4 in March 2024 and is an ideal candidate for Wear OS 5 since it is fairly new. We should see how the smartwatch is updated throughout these weeks, without having to reach 2025. And the rest of the watches? Well, there are brands of smartwatches that also work with Wear OSas is the case of the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro. However, they are currently “stuck” on version 3.5 and have not yet received the timely Wear OS 4 revision. It will end up coming, yes, but we cannot put our hand in the fire about when it will do so. Nor in the Xiaomi watches nor those of other brands that work with the Google operating system.
If you have these watches, congratulations, you are going to get Wear OS 5 for the first time
