How do these galaxy watches function on non-samsung Android phones like the pixels? Do they lose functionality?
Was considering getting this as an upgrade to my watch 7 but nothing much has changed outside of a faster processor and slight battery bump.
My main issue is battery life and while this does improve upon it, it's only a slight upgrade and not likely worth the change, especially given the steep prices

It would look million times better if they just made entire watch with that design and also have display of that shape. Not the "squircle" frame and then circular display. It's just so damn ugly. Also I'm never getting Galaxy Watch again because stupid Samsung entirely ruined my Galaxy Watch 4 with OneUI 8 and it's so broken now I can't even use it as a watch to tell time because it's broken even in that regard. And Samsung's support is totally useless coz you can't even reach them in any way. Never again.
Wasn't there rumours of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 supporting 5G?

So much of waste... moreThe reason for the Squircle form is for a thinner design while accommodating more sensor that debut with the Galaxy Watch8. Same philosophy again on a thinner package again for the Galaxy Watch Ultra2.
I personally like it, it is unique not square-rectangle like Apple watch or Circle from any other brand.
I really dislike "round on square" design. It's repulsive. Anyway, not interested in 1-2 day battery life watches.
Samsungs ..... Square circle disaster again .

So much of wasted space around the bezel .... it could have been a nice screen
