new Galaxy watch, random questions

[Dooki]

First off I really like this watch, I got the 42 mm, black, from Best buy open box. The only real thing I've noticed it could be an issue is that, while ugly, the rectangle form factor would be much better for interface. But it looks way better round.

Is there any way to improve or change the bixby voice? She's really bad.

Does anyone make a car charger? I figure I can use this charger that came with it but that is unstable when driving.

Is there any way to stop all the health updates? I keep getting updates about steps and floors and heart rate and all that stuff, while I like it the only way I figured out how to turn them off is to uninstall health. I want the information but since I work at FedEx I get them all of the time.

You should be able to turn off notifications of steps and such on the Samsung Health app.

As for Bixby, I have it shut off. It pretty much sucks now. Over 99= of what you ask it will say to check your phone. What is the point of it on the watch if you have to do this? Plus it isn't fine tuned. It comes up with bizarre things at times and the only way to make the voice clearer is turn down the watch volume. Then you can't hear it. Phone volume is the same at times.

Phone charger would be cool. I suppose you could buy an extra charger and velcro it to your dash. It still might fly off if you slam the brakes. If you pop the band off you could get cheap velcro cable ties and secure the watch to the charger. Sounds like a lot of rigging.

I have turned off every notification that I could find, but I still get the "atta boy" for hitting goals.

Velcro would be a good idea, maybe a rubber band to hold it in place.

Are you looking in the Health App?

Honest question. The watch is part fitness tracker. Why are you wanting to stop the fitness notifications?

Because there are too many of them. Every time I walk up ten stairs I get a notification, I climb about 500 stairs a day. Just one example.
I think I got them turned off, just a weekly update.

Oh how I miss Scorpion!

(first thing I thought of with the "atta boy" comment)

I watch it on the CBS app.6.50 a month.

I just got a galaxy watch and was playing with the settings and somehow turned on a voice that talks everytime the screen goes off, screen turns on, anytime I touch it really. I'm not sure how I did it. Can someone help me turn it off?
