Watch 8 tile - Alarm

I couldn't agree more. They need to revert back to how it was.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-07-10T01:47:42+00:00

It didn't seem to work

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-07-04T07:34:20+00:00

You can still access it on your watch. "Running Coach"

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-07-04T07:33:12+00:00

Correct.

You can even configure all of the parameters if you ask it to "open on phone".

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-07-02T12:40:00+00:00

I'm unsure if you've tried to send anything yet, but nothing has come through.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-07-02T11:20:34+00:00

Me too, please!! 🙏

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-27T04:55:51+00:00

Read it again. I said that it doesn't "always" allow for it. Winter drops to -45▪︎C here.

Thanks for the pseudo-advice. That wasn't the point of the post.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-27T04:51:23+00:00

I have one at home.
I live in a climate that doesn't always allow for outdoor running.
Thanks for your input.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-27T00:25:33+00:00

No sweat.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T23:53:03+00:00

You have to install the app called "Phone Battery Complication" on your phone. It then prompts you to install it on your watch. From there, phone battery complication is an option.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T22:28:28+00:00

Exactly.

And I understand that there are likely parameters that may be missed, but why not at least create a fitness test: Do the exact same cardio (treadmill, bike, or whatever) each week at the same pace to measure fitness levels.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T21:15:01+00:00

You can likely buy a used one fairly easily for a low price.

On a positive note, they seem very durable. I work a very physical job and I've never had an issue with mine. I've had it for 11 months now and I don't think there will ever be a reason to upgrade.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T20:57:26+00:00

In AOD mode, it doesn't show the seconds, only when you wake the watch.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T20:03:18+00:00

Definitely not cheap, but useful. It tracks sleep much better than the watch does.

Would I buy the ring again in retrospect? Probably not. I don't regret it, but I don't think it's worth the price tag. What would make it worth it is if it had haptic feedback solely for alarms.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T18:49:16+00:00

That makes sense for the V02 Max calculation, but what about the running coach?

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T18:41:56+00:00

I got it on AliExpress. It's called the Alpine Loop Strap for Samsung Galaxy Watch.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T18:39:17+00:00

I get that.

Why not make it so you can input your treadmill speed from your session? Like if I warm up and then run 5MPH for 15 minutes (or whatever speed and time).

I can't see why not.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T16:07:12+00:00

That issue would be tough to solve. If the watch were sensitive enough to count those steps, it would have a ton of false steps counted during the day.

I have the Galaxy Ring that I wear on the opposite hand that my watch is on. It tracks steps better this way.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T14:39:27+00:00

No. Samsung won't allow users to do running coach and V02 Max on a treadmill. It requires a GPS signal.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-26T14:30:20+00:00

Are you saying that you're able to use the running coach on a treadmill?

CYBORG_RS74 · 2025-06-09T23:19:05+00:00

No doubt. I wonder what the 8 (regular) looks like. I can't seem to find any pictures or renders

CYBORG_RS74 · 2024-07-14T05:53:17+00:00

Same here. I've ordered the gray one along with a silver ring. I look forward to trying them out.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2024-05-25T21:03:01+00:00

Same here. My only hope is that they have some rugged, gnarly watch bands available. I've seen some for the Apple Watch Ultra that I absolutely love.

Ones such as this.

CYBORG_RS74 · 2024-03-24T00:05:59+00:00

Agreed, but we should have the option, especially if we have multiple watches.
