disapointed that it doesn't come with a wall charger. Who has a USB C wall socket at home? This is the first device I've found I've needed to go out and buy a separate wall socket to charge a new device. Not happy so far, no comment on the funcationality of the phone yet as I haven't been able to use it.
Reading the battery life on here I'm not sure I'm going to like it either. 36 hours on a charge when my huawei GT2 Pro does 4 days will be annoying.

I have just received my new SGW5 as part of the promotion to purchase an s23 in Australia for a certain time. The watch is gorgeous and I am still learning but I notice that the watch faces that i had on my old Galaxy Watch have not transferred on to the new one. Disappointing as everything else seems to have transferred. Is it because the old watch worked on Tizen and the new watch is Google or have I done something wrong. I thought they would copy from the Galaxy Wearable app on my phone.

Hello there
I would like some advice on which watch to buy. Ideally I would like it to support LTE (not that I'm going to use it at first, as my carrier doesn't support eSIM yet, but I suppose a watch with LTE can work as a Bluetooth device as well. Will LTE drain battery without setting it up or using it at all?
I read many comments and saw many videos, so I just really don't know if it is worth getting a Galaxy watch 4 44mm LTE or a Galaxy watch 5 44mm LTE (more expensive, around 90 EUR extra than watch 4). Some claim that Galaxy watch 5 44mm has worse battery life than Galaxy watch 4 44mm, although I don't know if this is true or how it's possible, because watch 5 has a larger battery capacity than watch 4. I trust though the comments of this YouTuber, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj_gCcq92GU which he says he found out that watch 5 drains battery faster than watch 4 for the same settings.
I'm not really a sporty person, so I'm going to use the watch mainly for notifications, replying to SMS, calling (1-2 calls per day maybe or none at all) and on demand heart rate and oxygen measurement, or NFC payment (turn it on only when I need it). Also I might use it to track my running or walking or sleeping once in a while. So Ideally I will have the Always on Display off and also raise/tilt to wake off, power saving mode on, and uninstall Google Assistant (I read it consumes a lot of battery).
I am also thinking about Galaxy 5 Pro 45mm LTE because it has a really good battery but I don't like much it's design, and that bezel, which makes it difficult to put it under your shirt (could be wrong, as I haven't seen it in person), and also that it's much more expensive than watch 5 or watch 4.
I am not sure how many days I can get from having those settings on each of these smartwatches. Definitely, Galaxy 5 Pro 45mm can go like a week with a single charge I believe.
I also have in mind, ticwatch E3 which is cheaper of all, but I'm not sure how accurate it is, and regarding battery I read that it can go 4-5 days with those settings
Can anyone tell me how long the battery lasts on Watch 5 44mm with these settings?Always on Display off and also raise/tilt to wake off, power saving mode on, and uninstall Google Assistant (I read it consumes a lot of battery).

Do both LTE and BT versions have a calling application so that in addition to receiving calls, you can also make calls from the watch.

Can the watch be washed in a bowl of water or under a gentle stream of water?

I bought Watch 4 Classic, got a super deal. Thanks again. Bye

Ahmed, 13 Sep 2022Thanks brother please can you explain me how to install App... moreIt's a tile. The list of tiles is on the Samsung app on the phone. With the app on the phone, you decide which tiles you want on your watch. And you just select the ECG tile. But if your area doesn't allow the ECG function, then I would think there is not an ECG tile to choose.
