Smartwatch Thread (news/apps/updates)

Been looking for a full cover TPU case for my Watch 4 44mm for work but there is none, usually from day one Rainforest & others are flooded with them.

The only one's i can find which are the side tpu cases which also there is very few choices & all ship from China with a long wait time.

This lack of covers is probably down to Covid. :/

Been available for a week I don't think this watch prompts you like my old GW3 did that an update is available.

Over a week ago for me now

Over a week ago for me now

I think the firmware update for the GW4 Classic 4G 46mm has only just been released. I have been checking every day and it only became available today. I think the Bluetooth version of the watch may have received the update a week ago.

I have the 46mm classic BT and it was updated last week so your right if the LTE is slightly behind

Hmm that is shocking i was expecting the LTE models to at least get the monthly security updates.

Just a note someone was having problems getting stainless steel straps to fit so measured the watch came in at 19.8mm not 20mm .

Well, i tried my old spigen 20mm stainless steel band that i used to use n my active 2 44mm, and it fit perfectly bar one big glaring problem. the gap from the end of the strap to the watch is now longer,(the lugs where the pin clips into) so in my personal opinion, unless you use a band such as the official Samsung bands that gap looks huge, you can see what i mean by looking at the pic above with the leather strap. i do not like the look of it. or you need say a strap with an extra thick part where the pin goes through. I'm trying to find a strap like that.

I wouldn't call that gap large. Looks perfectly normal to me.
