It's Monday at 19:15. I think you can steam it live from samsung's youtube channel.

I think they are supposed to be talking about the new wear platform and the future of their watches going forward. The watch 4 itself is expected to be revealed at the fold 3/Z filp 2 event which is rumoured to be taking place on Augusf the 3rd.

On the subject of samsung watches does anyone know if there are any third party reddit apps. I have one called nano that I use on my apple watch.

A few things I like about the samsung watch:

The always on display is a true AOD. Not that dimming thing the apple Watch does.

When I get a notification I have an option to have the article/app open on the phone just by tapping a button.

When I clear a notification on the watch it clears on the phone.

From memory there’s not any. There was certainly not any podcasts apps either.
I guess we have to wait for wear to get more apps. However to be honest I’ve never used my Apple Watch to listen to podcasts and audiobooks or even music. Most of the time I have my phone with me and when I don’t. It’s just to do the school run or a quick walk to the shops. So I just need it for notifications/calls and payments in those situations.

Yep , i love too the way you can customise always on display. Here are some of my watch faces. Favourite designers are.. Persona, Dongsool sun. Urarity, Sams watches, Dominus Mathias and my #1 Alexander Marinov.

Can the watch be used on UK pay machines for cashless payments like the apple watch ?

I'm sure I remember some issue on the knew watches but I may well be imagining it

I used the original galaxy watch with contactless. No issues. It works the same as it works on the apple watch. Even if your bank doesn't support samsung pay you can link your card to the curve card and use it with samsung pay.

I've been holding out on a Samsung Galaxy Watch with WearOS ever since I switch to Android 2 years ago. I'm hoping Google get more app support for WearOS now that we have Samsung and Google partnership.

I'm honestly looking for Apple Music support... but not sure if Apple would actually do it. It's like giving AM subscribers an Android app is the bare minimum they are willing to do, adding Apple Music to WearOS would be asking too much.
