Overview
- Rollout activity appears to have quieted as some owners say the update no longer shows up on their Galaxy Watch 4 devices.
- Several users report the watch discharging in roughly 12–15 hours after updating, with some also noting always‑on display problems.
- A forum post includes diagnostics showing failed wrist detection, BIA, and ECG on a Watch 4 Classic, which can disable health tracking and block features like Google Wallet.
- Troubleshooting has produced mixed results as cache clearing sometimes improves battery life, factory resets did not restore sensors for one user, and wearing the watch on the palm side briefly revived sensors.
- The Watch 4 line is over four years old and this could be its final major OS release, prompting expectations for a quick fix and suggestions from some outlets to delay updating.
