I like the Galaxy Watch' design, and never experienced if that the sensors are showing wrong data. People love to hate...

Ugly design. I wish Samsung should introduce new design along with accurate sensors.

I don't know how much I'd trust these renders, the watchface is such an obvious clone of the NOMOS Tangente that I can't believe its in any way official

I have a Samsung Dual SIM phone. Will it be finally possible to forward calls from both phone numbers to the watch? (LTE version, when the phone and the watch are not in close vicinity so no Bluetooth connection is possible)

gimm, 25 May 2023lol, you are right, thats why i choose smartband because th... moreIndeed, there is a grey zone between smart "watch" and "band" here.
Just look at the confusion between the various versions of "Huawei Watch Fit" and "Huawei Band" overlapping.
But the real problem I think is the idea of making it not a Watch with smart functionality, but into a light version of what we know from a mobile phone. The fancy stuff requires a (relatively) heavy CPU, and this means power consumption.
And hence all but very few offered smartwatches are thick and clumsy to get a battery that can last over a day...
All the basic functionality of a smartwatch (monitoring of Heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure, sleep, sports stuff and notifications / call control) can be found in the Sovogue T8, and still it is in a 7mm ø43mm zinc alloy case, And I get over three weeks stamina with all monitoring turned on...
I would just love if a bigger brand made something similar to the T8 backed by better software. Some of the smartbands like the Huawei band 6/7/8 are what come closest.
I can accept that the fancy OS versions use extra power when the stuff is active (like displays on phones eating a lot), but the 'stand by' smart watch functionality should be possible to do in a much more lean mode similar to the dedicated locked OS smart watches (like e.g. the T8). The Huawei Band 6/7/8 gives over a week stamina, and that is tolerable.
(I have some blah blah on the T8 here https://eskerahn.dk/?p=4941 )

smart watch user it depreciates in value in time and it gets slower on updates. I would rather buy a real watch than a smart watch and use my mobile phone instead.

Max53, 24 May 2023I still use S3 fontier. Love the brezel. Tizen works great.... moreI had the S3 Frontier too and then the original Galaxy Watch. Moved to Wear OS with the Watch 4 Classic and now Watch 5 Pro.
I like it for the most part. They moved a couple of things around which annoyed me back then but now I don't even remember what those where lol.
I think WearOS is definitely better.
I wanted to skip this one but the rotating bezel has me thinking.
