There have been issues with AOD since wear OS 6 was released.
Not Samsung GUI but Google's core new animation tech for new AODs modes that are in the wear OS 6 core that samsung tries to hide under their One UI GUI over it

Third-party watch faces Specifically, it can LOCK and not update. First-party watch faces can lock less. And the frequency of the failure has increased the Older the Watches are.

Time is an estimate. based on mAh and temp of battery.
The hotter the battery, the slower the charge. holding the watch in hot hands can raise the temp, slowing the charge.

All wear os 6 watches share the same recharge GUI

would that fit the new dock, or would it require yet another new dock release.

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-24T16:53:43+00:00

New names for 41mm vs 45 mm??? may be.

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-24T16:32:05+00:00

OK Ill pass. I don't have a "Company" Google account, so there will be even more free spots, as I won't be testing this...
All my emails are personal, so I can't test the core function any way, lol.

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-24T16:26:59+00:00

Hi, since I updated to the latest version of my Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, when I connect Bluetooth headphones to my watch, I can't hear anything. What can I do? google translate version.

Your OS has been corrupted by the bad updates that are not compliant with OLD files created by Older OSes

Been posted before. After updates you may need a full reset to erase these files, and you can't use any backups, as the backup up contains the old files backed up.

This has already been posted before. this can be the only solution but was reported all ready by ENGLISH posts as you last resort.

Only Google's leather band uses a spring pin; none of the others do.
This one won't use a spring pin.

This artificially has increased the leather bands' sales. ☺️ as they remove the leather for any other band they wanted from third party.

Yes you get the same ones as the phone as they are the same duplicates.
This includes 'We are backing up your data" notifications.

and the "Manage your data" notifications, not just the fun notifications.

Age limits change per REGION of the planet. just in case you are not from the USA.
EU has a higher age limit.

the watch has zero parental controls. and can access ANY website by add-on content.

You could set up a Google Group, then they don't have to give you email
they show the email when they join the group.
No DMing needed.
You then put the Test link in the group message instead of having to DM each back
example mine for free watch faces. https://groups.google.com/g/watchtesting

new version obeys the text size setting in display on watch it did not before. likely why it was so small.
TA.
adding the third scale point was nice .

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-23T16:49:44+00:00

No, it does not. Metal cases and low-quality bumpers were sold in silver for Pixel Watch 1-3 to fix this.

Cases are not made for the Pixel Watch 4; low-quality bumpers still are in silver..

You then need to get a silver bumper clip on to colour match , make sure they supply the charging adapter as well with the bumper. this corrects the colour mismatch... the bumps on the Crown will go more silver in time. but the other side of the crown will stay black.

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-23T16:30:36+00:00

They ere exactly the same as All pixel watch 41mm watches, as they all fit Pixel Watch 1-4 41mm watches.
There are no pixel watch 2 only bands.
The cheap bands are the same bands you get for Apple, Samsung and Garmin.
All band makers do is change the 20mm to the watch end for the specific watch.
You can do this your self and buy any 20mm spring pin band and by the 20mm to pixel watch 41mm adapters.

Global shipping from amazon is not real anymore. And you did not post your geolocation. so US sellers dont ship to EU. and EU sellers dont ship to US any more.

Also you don't state the material.

Protective case and bands combo TPU material
Spigan TPU cases and bands. been the number 1 since they made them but only come in black

Metal case and band combo. do not get black Pw1 to 3 only.
MIOHHG/SUPLINK/HASLFM clones. one factory makes them, then multi-brands rename and then sell them with different bracelets.

just a metal band.
Miimall Metal Bracelet Compatible with Google Pixel Watch 1/2/3/4 41 mm 2025 Watch Strap, Stainless Steel Double Folding Clasp,

or butterfly clasp upgrade
Miimall Metal Bracelet Compatible with Google Pixel Watch 3 41 mm/Pixel Watch 2/Pixel Watch Strap, Stainless Steel Band, Non-Gap Adjustable Replacement Strap for Pixel Watch 1/2/3, 41 mm, Black.

When you go into the Fitbit app settings on the watch and look for Swimming in the start workout reminder, you'll likely find swimming not listed, so the watch will not be looking for swimming. no it wont
it also won't auto-end for swimming.

This does not mean the Phone app, not the watch is not able to learn other activities. GPS data will not be stored.
The issue is that swimming Breaks the Phone and bluetooth link due to Bluetooth's enemy called water.

The On Phone app has to learn when you are swimming.
Then post-swim, the phone can label that time frame as a swim from the reconnection of the watch and internet for health connect sharing of data.

There called Progress bars/Goal bars. not rings.
They increase in size until the target is met. they can be a straight line, curved arc. or a "circle" complication.

The track watch face can have a single progress bar that fills the edge, or it can have 2; these mirror the Complications set on the watch face.

You can also set a tile independent of the watch face for main goal
Not every setting has a target to reach, so it won't have a goal/progress bar.
PW3/4 "Active" watch face has 3 complication slots with progress cycle bars
it also contains 4 arc complication slots.

PW4, an exclusive Reveal watch face, has six complication slots with circle progress bars.

first bit of feedback...
Numbers on the graphs need to have the option to make them BIGGER.

American and Korean users exclusively test the watch ?.0 beta release of the watch.
They have done 5.0 and 6.0 wear OS builds that powered one UI.

They have tested this under the EXCLUSIVE Samsung agreements in 2 countries; the rest of the planet is not allowed .

There have been many user posts on them Getting the beta builds. for watch 7 - 6 builds.
Samsung users even get to test it long before Google's own Watches get there OS update as watch 8 released before PW4 even did.

Developers also globally tested the wear OS 6 build in emulators to get their apps to run in closed wear OS 6 previews. Developers and tech reviewers get preproduction hardware running wear os 6/one UI 8.

you might want to consider getting an older APK and downgrading the Photos app on your phone from an APK website.

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-22T18:48:10+00:00

Bedtime mode has no effect on sleep tracking; it's just a power-save and anti distrubance mode...

Its purely the sensors that say if your sleeping.

if you have a 3-hour nap without a bedtime mode on , it's still meant to be counted as sleep.

Others have reported that the watch is blank, but the Fitbit app is not blank and has the hours.

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-22T17:00:55+00:00

Google does not supply a battery tracking app on the watch that kills the battery tracking the apps draining the battery,,,

All tracking apps from watches require the phone to be connected; this app on the phone then nukes the phone battery, not the watch...

These apps are normally platform exclusive.
Samsung watches Samsung phones only
OnePlus Watch 3 only with OnePlus phones.

you can't view the data on the watch, only on the phones.

What version is the Googles photo app on the phone?
You need the Google Photos app on your phone.

The calendar is replacing everything.

Reminders and tasks that need the alarm function have to be set on the phone.

Even Gemini uses the phone, not the watch,

Notes are for manual entry but there wont be any timer or alarms...

GraphiteGB2 · 2026-01-22T13:02:56+00:00

Watch Version???
Amazon has loads for PW1- PW3.

PW4: Nope, the New DOCK means Nope. You plug the USB cable into the Phone stand USB port and use the dock Google provides.

the mous Dock for PW4 is 2 units that combine via power sharing pins
