Pros

  • Yes, I just updated to OneUI 8 as soon as I got it
  • Runs very smoothly so far, did also a wipe cache and recommend everyone to do so as well!
  • I did update & i can say alot better then previous version (OneUI 6 Watch) & beautiful User Interface, also got Now Bar too! Battery so far i can say OneUI 6 much better than OneUI 8 now!
  • I upgraded directly from the watch, no clearing cache nothing, works perfectly, no issues.
  • One UI 8 improved my gw 6 classic. Although I had to put up with worse battery life for a week until it improved by an additional 6 hours than on UI 6.

Cons

  • Same here, GW4C (BT, 46mm). Battery life after OneUI 8 is terrible. I've heard that this update bugged the wrist detection and it might be responsible for the battery drain.
  • Yeah, One UI 8
  • This update broke AOD for me. My sensors don't even work fine anymore, I can't check my heart rate, like it broke wrist detection.
  • Only some design tweaks. Nothing groundbreaking. Hardware should not struggle from such a minor change. It feels faster even. As for battery life, i lost 44% in 3.5 hours.
  • I repeat, DO NOT upgrade to OneUI 8. It has really good upgrades but it's messed up in performance. What's the use if it's not reliable and smooth. 😢

Running Coach isn't even available in the final version of One UI 8 in Galaxy Watch 7 and lower. Why is there a whole section of the article about it? It's not available for Galaxy Watch 4.
