wearOS will enable google assistant supported typing.new chipset will improve terrible 1 day battery life.extra app support is wellcome.fixbit acquisition may improve inconsistent GPS,heart rate and SPO2 accuracy. If,new series cover all of them, I think these will be really major updates.

          Bari, 19 May 2021Although I've been using galaxy watch series from 2016... moreBig mistake from Samsung. All my wear OS watch including the Fossil gen 5 are in my drawer and i replace them with a Fitbit Versa 3. Wear OS is so broken. Google assistant cannot make calls anymore and cannot send text messages also and many other glitches. This is going on for over a year now and no fix yet. Good luck Samsung !

I have no problem with my Galaxy Watch going for four to five days with the heart rate monitor turned on all the time. If I turned it off, I can get nearly seven.

                    Technologist, 19 May 2021NoI say Yes for battery. I have been using quite a lot of Wear OS watches and I'm still not impressed with the battery life. Not one Wear OS watches I ever used can go beyond three days of use under continuous intensive task, unlike Tizen-powered Samsung smartwatches.

                        I wonder how the battery life would be compared to Tizen-powered Galaxy Watch smartwatches.

                                Reduce the size of the bezel to 1mm and you might spark some interest; Screen/surface real estate is valuable. Why waste it on a thick (almost useless) bezel of gigantic proportions.
