    Galaxy Watch - lowest observed Heart Rate

    I don't wear it to sleep but I hover around 50-60 at rest and as high as 130-140 when running flat out.

    Galaxy watch Battery life

    I kept reading how AlwaysOn killed a day of battery when it was in use. I got 2 solid days already and could really go almost 2.5 with AlwaysOn display so I turned it off for 2 weeks and turned on gestures to turn the display on to see what the difference would be. I now get 3.5-4 days of use...

    Does galaxy watch not support Google maps or WhatsApp?

    As mentioned, Here works well for maps, and actually includes maps. The watch can show directions on the watch when the phone is using google maps, but will not show the map, just the next step in the direction.

    Galaxy Watch Floor Counter Doesn't Count

    I've noticed that if I am nonchalantly walking up the stairs it has less of a chance to register than if I climb at a normal pace. If I race up the steps, it seems to always register.

    More colors?

    I felt the same way but honestly, the band will make all the difference. I have a black and silver metal band for work and business and they both look amazing and make the watch. When the silver is on, I sometimes forget there is black on the watch and vice versa when the black is on. I have...

    Galaxy watch Battery life

    I am still playing with the watch, but so far battery life has been decent. I just got the watch on Monday and playing and downloading and configuring, I was able to get 2.5 days before the battery was at 12%. Put into power saving mode and it lasted until I went to bed. I have gotten more...

    Newbie Smartwatch Questions - Galaxy Edition

    Thanks for the breakdown! To clarify more on #3 , I wrote that thinking of work. where I work I am unable to have my phone out so it is sometimes easier to leave it at my desk. But I can have the watch so if I have that connected to wifi, will it report back to the phone regularly or does it...

    Battery Drain on Note 9 suddenly

    You have some good advice already so not going to rehash. Something I found was mine drop quite a bit and after poking around, noticed that my "auto-brightness" was set extremely high. I was wondering why the phone screen was so bright and beautiful! If you mess around with the brightness...

    I tried the Note9 for a bit at my local store - Here are my thoughts

    I upgraded from an LG V20 as well. Wow, what a difference! Same size but a whole lot more screen. You will not be disappointed! And if you are on Verizon, they gave me almost $300 for my LG V20 as a trade in!

    Verizon: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    Worth going online and seeing what your device is worth as a trade-in. I have an LG V20 and Verizon is giving me $280 as a trade-in for it. That is a lot more than I could sell it for outright, I owe nothing on it, and I don't have the hassle of "tire kickers" trying to sell it. Worth a shot...
