Deal PSA Samsung trade in program (its that time of year again)

67 Upvotes

PSA for anyone using the Samsung trade in program some people are getting burned because Samsung states device wasn't properly factory reset or because Samsung claims the device has mystery damage that wasn't there always document everything take clear photos and record a quick video showing the watch condition powering on and the factory reset screen Samsung will absolutely downgrade your value if they think they can get away with it and the only protection you have is proof of the condition before it left your hands two minutes of documenting can save you from losing money for no reason

Hardware Will Samsung continue NOT to cover under warranty water damage on Ultra 2?

10 Upvotes

If even with the new diving capability and new IP rating they still tell you that water damage is not covered it is straight up scam.

Watch Face How do I get this new watchface (Ultra Performance) on the Galaxy Watch Ultra? Is there a sideload method or do I have to wait for One UI 9,0?

Hi! The new Watchface looks really amazing. I'm curious how to get it too. It would be wonderful if there was some way to get it sooner. I'm not in a hurry, but it would be great if it were possible. Is anyone else looking forward to this news? I believe that many users would be happy to be able to use it soon. Let's hope it doesn't take too long. If you discover a method, please share it with us.

Silly me for thinking the IP68 rating meant anything on the watch ultra 2025

Post image
169 Upvotes

My galaxy watch ultra 2025 is still under warranty till October. Sent it in last Friday because the screen stopped working and guess what. Has water damage so it's not covered.. hurray

Never gone swimming with it, never really had it submerged at all. Gets wet from working out in the rain. Washing our vehicles and doing dishes. Can't believe they have an IP68 rating if you can't even get them remotely wet.

Customer service, although very friendly with how mad I was talking to them, was absolutely useless. I did apologize to the fellow i was talking to before I hung up after he gave me another number to call.

Had my watch 3 classic for 5 years. Swam with it, showered with it. Ocean water never bothered it. Just beyond fed up.

Deal No option to trade in Watch 8 / Classic

UK here. No option to trade in the 8 range for a 9. I hope this is an oversight and will change.

Anyone know what discounts are available this year?

Watch Band Bands for Galaxy Watch Ultra 2

Upvotes

Just pre-ordered my Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Saw this band which also fits Ultra 2:

https://www.avontic.com/collections/draft-galaxy-watch-ultra-47mm-accessories?view=galaxy-watch-ultra&sort_by=price-descending

I am especially interested in the matte black metallic bands. Wonder if anyone bought a similar black metal bands from the brand.

P/s: I did find one negative review about the Avontic brand.

Comparison Galaxy Watch 5 → Watch 9 or Ultra 2 worth it in 2026?

Upvotes

I’ve been daily-driving a Galaxy Watch 5 since launch and it’s still holding up pretty well. But with the Watch 9 and Ultra 2 just announced, I’m wondering if it’s finally time to upgrade.

Comparison Should I buy watch 9 or watch 8 classic?

Upvotes

Watch 9 Lte 44mm costing me around 42k indian rupees. Watch 8 classic Lte costs me around 32k inr. I wanna know if spending 10k inr/ 100$ more on watch 9 is worth it if we talk about the newer qualcomm chip and bt 6.0

Garmin Epix 2 pro to Watch 2 ultra worth it?

2 Upvotes

I was planning to get the Z fold 8 ultra and also took a look at the Watch Ultra 2.

I have been using Epix 2 pro for 3 years now. It's a amazing watch. I upgraded from a Watch 5 Pro back then. The battery is great (31 days), workout tracking is great and the led is also really nice. But it doesn't track calories that well, it always shows too many calories burned. I didn't miss any SmartWatch Features tbh.

The most important for me would be just tracking my gym workout. On the Garmin I can make individual training plans and for example first 5 minutes treadmil, then a 2 minute break and 3 sets of 12 reps bench press so on.

And I think there still no alternative for that in galaxy watch.

But being in the Samsung ecosystem would be a positive.

Galaxy watch ultra 2 vale tutti i soldi?

Upvotes

Buonasera poco fa ho visto il one plus watch 4 che costa meno della metà e la batteria dura molto di più, tutti questi soldi in più sono giustificati?

Parlo da persona che non fa trekking ma solo palestra e uso lo smartwatch per uso normale
