    I had a Galaxy 3 watch that was great. Updated to Galaxy 4, but stopped using a Galaxy phone (too buggy). Watch support for Galaxy 4 is not as good as the Galaxy 3. (Even Samsung phone users report this.) The watch stopped syncing with my Google Pixel many months ago, but I was still able to use it. Updates have left it less functional, but now it is useless: won't connect to the phone anymore. This update won't even install on my Pixel 7 Pro.

    1/28. Update last week didn't work. It may have decreased it a bit but it's still opening on its own repeatedly. Same issue opening over other apps that others are having. Permissions and uninstall/reinstall don't work. It is now messing with the keyboard in apps not allowing me to select characters or inputting something else after the flash. Is this a way to push to newer models?

    App fails to open even after multiple restarts, installs or updates. It's been like this for a few months now. Samsung is really disappointing the Galaxy Watch users now. I am unable to connect my watch for a long time and at this point I having second thoughts of switching to different brand. And also, "Fixed the error"- what kind of software engineer writes a description like this? The error existing after a fix probably explains that.
