I finally gave in and got the Galaxy Watch 7

Nevermind i found the option to stop it from coming on. It's under battery. Then scroll down to the bottom and click off the auto power on.

Awesome thank you for sharing I will also set it to not turn on, especially since I swap watches.

Glad you found that setting & that it works!

Interestingly enough, my auto power on is toggled on & the screen still is off while charging. (The initial splash screen appears briefly when watch is placed on charger, then fades to black.) Sounds like something definitely changed within the watch 7.

Hope you're enjoying your new watch!
