Watch 7

[Adam137]

Bought a watch 7, first Samsung device I've owned. Probably the last as well. 

Is the battery life a joke?

A notification every day about fitness goals, that can't be turned off? Seriously?

Not only does this discriminate against the less abled folk amongst us, who just want a watch to make it easier to see notifications without the struggle of getting a phone out - it also pushes out a market of people who just want a smart watch, without using the health app side of things. 

Where is your business sense?

Hi, not 100% certain but think u may be able to sign out of samsung health to stop this. I injured my ankle a while back and got sick of my phone judging me so I either signed out or opted out of Samsung Health and it stopped. Don't know if it's relevant but my samsung phone and watch are paired. Might be worth a try.

Install the new firmware update released yesterday
Mine still had 92% battery in the morning
That's coming from 24% before the update
Looking good now 👌

Hi Mandy

Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure it was giving me notifications before I installed Samsung health, but might be worth a try. I can't seem to find a sign out option though. I have left Samsung  health though, so maybe that will sort it. Doubtful though, as I think it's a problem with the watch app, and not the phone app.

Thanks for the reply mate, I installed last night so let's see on the battery front. 

It'll probably be sent back though, I'm not putting up with constant health notifications. Seems ridiculous that Samsung choose not to allow us the option of having notifications, or not.

Just checked and if u go on your galaxy wearable app, settings, then notiifications, u can chose to turn off notifications from samsung health! 🤞

[Adam137]

Hi Mandy. Yes, I thought that would work too, but it doesn't - I think they're the notifications to your phone, not the watch. 😢🙄

[Mandy1]

Shldnt be if your on the wearable app? That only applies to watch and buds on mine?

[Mandy1]

So if u turn off notifications for samsung health on your phone AND watch you're still getting them? How rude!

[Adam137]

Sorry, my bad. Misread your message. But still, in the galaxy wearable app - I have the notification for Samsung health turned off. Still get the notification. 

Also - I messaged support, and they said it can't be turned off. (Not to say that they are always correct though)
