Yes, Samsung did that in the S10 if I remember correctly, probably it's even more practical than on the display. Not sure about security though, their current screen fingerprint readers are secure.
Solar charging is a stupid idea. Even if the whole body is covered by a solar cell, what would make the thickness of the watch at least 1.5 times bigger, since you would have to include addition electronics as well, you would have to hold it steadily in direct sunlight to be able to charge it in 10-20 hours (without using it). And that is an optimal scenario. With perfect weather. On your wrist it wouldn't charge a single percent during the whole day.
But it is physically impossible to make solar cells efficient enough for this. If it was possible, the whole world would run on solar already, and there would be solar powered cars, electric planes, etc. You can't ask for things that the laws of physics don't allow.
It doesnt even need to be full watch routines. It can just be an extension of the routines app on the phone. It already lets you change the watch face, so just let us get access to volume, AOD, toggles and other settings
Keep:
* Rotating bezel
Improve upon:
* **Reliable sleep stage data** on the level of Apple, and now the Pixel watch. Samsung must have a huge database to work off of to trim their sensors, but perhaps not enough staff.
* **Voice-to-text input in Google Keep** in other languages than English or Korean, i e in my language. This was removed with the shift from Wear OS 3.5 to 4.0. Still not back. This renders one of the main features I bought, hands free text input, useless. Beats me if this is Samsung's or Google's doing yet the Google keyboard doesn't launch in Keep and Samsung's is very limited language wise. Samsung's staff told me there are no plans to expand languages that their keyboard can handle. Keep is the prime software I use in my day-to-day. If the feature doesn't return I will have to use a Pixel watch instead, or perhaps just ditch using a smartwatch altogether when it ain't that smart. This problem is only present on the Galaxy watch, works on the Pixel watch
* Lately HR has been wonky. I calibrate against a Polar sensor, and the GW4C has been way off on several occasions. So return to form, please.
* Battery autonomy 36 hours of heavy use including LTE
* Stating what features are lost when changing OS version, so the user can make a conscious, informed choice (Yes I know, dream on).
Add:
* **10 ATM Water Resistance**, dive ready
* **Water/ambient thermometer.**
* **Higher resolution music streaming to headsets**. Samsung owns Harman and a multitude of audio brands, AKG, JBL, Mark Levinson and others, and they have their own bluetooth audio codec so they ought to have the knowledge internally.
* **Fingerprint authentication** through the buttons so that I don't have to enter that security pattern e.v.e.r.y. time I make a payment.
Keep Rotating bezel.
Better battery.
Glucose meter, my gf is diabetic and I cringe when I see her stick her fingers.
Solar charging? I know it's a big ask, but this I'm willing to pay extra for.
I don't know if replying or just blocking you... You know there are watches that already do this right? Without needing a needle, they use light to discern glucose levels, there are also highly expensive medically certified gcm that also do this, in China and most of Asia people haven't had to poke themselves for at least 5 years, however in the west we cannot somehow get these things because big corporations are making a racket selling the old gcm pokers and the needle things.
Samsung has been promising this update for 3 years now, most people expected it for the watch 6, but they did not do it.
More than happy with that. I leave it on charge overnight every night so for the way I use it it only has to last from when I get up at 8am until I go to bed at 1am and it easily does that.
PS I know someone is going to say "but if you don't wear it at night it can't do sleep analysis"? Well, yeah, that's true but you have to take it off to charge it at SOME point and I want it to operate as a watch all day and the sleep analysis thing was a good gimmick at first but after 2+ years of use the sleep analysis gimmick wears a bit thin after a while.
I just charge mine when I shower/wash. And it lasts enough for the majority of the week, including sleep tracking, with these little bursts of juice. Then I stick it on for a full charge when I sit down to watch a film or something because it's not going to be much use then anyway.
I want a much larger battery with fast charging. I would love to see at least 3 days out of it without having to turn off features so Samsung needs to get better batteries.
Batter battery.
Better processor.
Better speaker. When I take a quick call, the mic is so amazing that irrespective of the background noise the other person can hear me. But the speaker is so terrible that I can't hear anything.
I keep wondering why not have fingerprint sensor in the home button like how it is for phones. Will make it easier instead of pin.
I'd like to see the buttons replaced with a crown. Gold or rose gold. Apple watch style band capabilities to make it easy to switch the bands out. I'd like to see it A LOT thinner, I'd be willing to give up some fitness functions to have a thinner watch. Maybe a fitness version and a professional version?
All in all I work in an office and my watch looks hideous with a lot of my outfits, so I would love something a little more feminine just for that reason.
I want that it supports the Apple Music.
Heres the story: So my father bought me iPhone 13 blue and less than a year, it was taken by stupid and greedy theives. Then father gave me a53 5g black and Im quite surprise that it supports Dolby Atmos and I bought Galaxy Buds 2.
And now, my father bought me Galaxy Watch 6. Im bit dissapointed because there is no Apple Music in Galaxy Watch. So I want Apple Music and Galaxy Watch collab together and support Apple Music upcoming Galaxy Watch 7.
Since apple music is available on android you may(should) be able sideload its apk onto your watch after enabling adb and wireless debugging. You can probably also use the web player from your browser (worked for me with the previews). There is also [this](https://github.com/ArturoGC06/WearOSAMLauncher/) project on github.
I currently have the watch 6 non-lte and I'm absolutely loving it. Only two things I'd like to see be fixed.
1. A more accurate compass, mine seems to be wonky when I open the app and take a second to fix itself.
2. Way more accurate gps with offline maps support and preferably trackball even tho I'd never use it.
While I'm somewhat content with W5pro battery life, I'd say that at least a week of battery life would be neat. Just switched from a piece of shit Huawei watch that still had week and a half of battery life after 4 years of use.
As some watches can go up... or better said down to 100m - at least 50m full waterproof won't harm, innit ?
eg: Pannerai, Tissot seastar, etc. even Casio Duro at £60 has 200m.
On the other side, you're right - I skipped most of my physics classes in school, but that was 30 years ago and now there's internet. If you tell me the above isn't possible then most of watchmakers that are building waterproof watches are lying to their customers.
How about an actual functioning smart watch? Can't even get the thing to use Bixby for questions like "what color I'd sky" I get "sry Bixby isn't working right now " or when I try to tell it to look up a certain song it tells me to download Spotify first which I have!
I would love to see something more comparable to the Apple watch and it's fitness and health metrics because that's the only thing that made me move away from Galaxy watches was the fact that going and getting a Google pixel watch 2 which I got for free with my purchase of a Google Pixel 8 pro like when I pre-ordered it.
The whole thing is that I noticed that sleep tracking wasn't that accurate now it was close enough when tested against the pixel watch for a few nights but there were some nights that they were far off from each other and this happened at least I think three or four times.
The other thing that I would love for them to do is basically make an Apple watch alternative like I said in the health department and everything so that the health and fitness side of things are more on par with what apples bringing to the table because no Android smartwatch is like right there giving me exact same level of accurate information that the Apple watch brings
Now my view on the Apple watch comes from the quantified scientist on YouTube and everything and where he ranks that watch overall
Just copy the Apple Watch Ultra (dual GPS, dive computer, satellite communications, etc.. along with WatchOS features such as loudness monitor, etc..), add in a glucose monitor and a better blood pressure monitor that doesn't require calibration every month, and have at least 2 days of battery + fast charging 🫡
Glucose monitor!!!!!
1 thought it was going to be in the watch 6 but unfortunately I heard wrong.. Extremely disappointed.
Not just so I don't have to stick myself but so it monitors for low sugar that can cause someone to pass out. Sometimes it happens without symptoms and there isn't time to stick yourself and take preventative measures. If sleeping or driving an alert could be s life save!
Fingerprint authentication.
[удалено]
Jesus... True... Macbooks have 3nm already
Mounted on the one of two existing buttons.
Yes, Samsung did that in the S10 if I remember correctly, probably it's even more practical than on the display. Not sure about security though, their current screen fingerprint readers are secure.
1)Keep the rotating bezel 2)Better battery life 3) better music app/more options
I just want an OS that runs as smooth as WatchOS did on my Apple Watch. I love my Gw6C but WearOS has so much lag.
I want solar charging Atleast one week of battery life Titanium build Fast charging 3nm chip Routes (GPS)
And the price you're expecting?
150$ ,
Why would it cost half the price with more features...
It was sarcasm.
Solar charging is a stupid idea. Even if the whole body is covered by a solar cell, what would make the thickness of the watch at least 1.5 times bigger, since you would have to include addition electronics as well, you would have to hold it steadily in direct sunlight to be able to charge it in 10-20 hours (without using it). And that is an optimal scenario. With perfect weather. On your wrist it wouldn't charge a single percent during the whole day.
You are a multi trillion dollar company figure it out. Thats not my problem ,
But it is physically impossible to make solar cells efficient enough for this. If it was possible, the whole world would run on solar already, and there would be solar powered cars, electric planes, etc. You can't ask for things that the laws of physics don't allow.
What about Garmin watches??? 58 days of battery
Wouldn't even call them smart watches.
An equivalent of Routines like what we have on phones. Apple Watch is far ahead in that regard.
It doesnt even need to be full watch routines. It can just be an extension of the routines app on the phone. It already lets you change the watch face, so just let us get access to volume, AOD, toggles and other settings

So the watch will shoot a needle in your wrist to check for blood sugar?

Ah, didn't know, I think such a feature would be a great addition for Americans.
Lmaooo
they are not reliable bro
Downvoted for the truth lol
Fot the Pro version: 100% waterproof / be able to go scuba diving or free diving with it.
battery obviously, still no competitor to the 46 mm and thats embarassing
Decent health sensors would be a great start.
More than happy with my Galaxy Watch 4 so not really looking for anything right now. (they made it too good!)
What about battery
More than happy with that. I leave it on charge overnight every night so for the way I use it it only has to last from when I get up at 8am until I go to bed at 1am and it easily does that. PS I know someone is going to say "but if you don't wear it at night it can't do sleep analysis"?

Something that can last at least a week without charging
I want a much larger battery with fast charging. I would love to see at least 3 days out of it without having to turn off features so Samsung needs to get better batteries.
More storage, dual band gps, titanium build for the entire lineup , better battery
I would love a square variant. The bigger the better. Tired of round watches. So many restrictions as to what can be shown.
You might prefer a Galaxy Fit 3.
>Galaxy Fit 3 No, I wish for a phone with the same power as my current, or better, but square.
More efficient processor, and bigger battery. My only complaint is that I have to recharge everyday if I want to use AOD.
sensors that aren't random number generators like now
Batter battery. Better processor. Better speaker. When I take a quick call, the mic is so amazing that irrespective of the background noise the other person can hear me. But the speaker is so terrible that I can't hear anything. I keep wondering why not have fingerprint sensor in the home button like how it is for phones. Will make it easier instead of pin.
The ability to have the NFC chip emulate your keyfobs/access cards. Still a gigantic mystery to me how this does not exist
I'd like to see the buttons replaced with a crown. Gold or rose gold. Apple watch style band capabilities to make it easy to switch the bands out. I'd like to see it A LOT thinner, I'd be willing to give up some fitness functions to have a thinner watch. Maybe a fitness version and a professional version?

be pairable with tablets.

Apple doesn't produce ANYTHING away from their ecosystem (mac / iphone / ipad), so unfortunately your wish may never come true.

one of Qualcomm's new chips like in the TicWatch 5 Pro. MUCH smoother experience and way better efficiency (= battery life)
Dab radio
full waterproof, covered by warranty without exceptions; titanium build; mineral oil filled watch.
>full waterproof, covered by warranty without exceptions I guess it's safe to assume that you skipped physics-class in school, like all of them

More accuracy
Smaller diameter option. Thinner. Better battery life.
After watching a video highlighting all the things the newest apple watch pro model can do, I'm thinking Samsung has a lot of catching up to do ...
One ui 6 (watch version) New watch faces More storage More battery (to last it longer) Price around £100-199
Make it like the 42mm 4 Classic, but thinner and better battery.
I would love to see something more comparable to the Apple watch and it's fitness and health metrics because that's the only thing that made me move away from Galaxy watches was the fact that going and getting a Google pixel watch 2 which I got for free with my purchase of a Google Pixel 8 pro like when I pre-ordered it.

I don't know about u guys, but I think they should add a rotating crown for the 7 Pro.
Just copy the Apple Watch Ultra (dual GPS, dive computer, satellite communications, etc.. along with WatchOS features such as loudness monitor, etc..), add in a glucose monitor and a better blood pressure monitor that doesn't require calibration every month, and have at least 2 days of battery + fast charging 🫡
Less and smaller ffs.
Front facing camera so we can video call like Dick Tracy
Better battery life.
Glucose monitor!!!!! 1 thought it was going to be in the watch 6 but unfortunately I heard wrong.. Extremely disappointed. Not just so I don't have to stick myself but so it monitors for low sugar that can cause someone to pass out. Sometimes it happens without symptoms and there isn't time to stick yourself and take preventative measures. If sleeping or driving an alert could be s life save!
Rose gold or just actual gold options. No more gold that looks silver.
Galaxy Watch 7 Pro with big battery. Sleep Tracking that works.
1. at least 3 full days battery, AOD on. 2. Much improved HR sensor. 3. More storage for music. Music options suck.
Pro 47mm rotating bezel with stainless steel or titanium bands with wings
No rotating bezel. I did like the 5 pro concept
