I can't get my Samsung Galaxy watch to connect to my Samsung Galaxy phone. It should be so simple, but it is somehow impossible.

After either a phone or watch update, my S4 Classic watch started dropping connection with my S22 Ultra. I tried deleting it from my phone and starting over, no good. Went to the phone store, and they tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling app and watch to no avail. Bought a new S8 watch. It wouldn't install on my phone. Ordered a new S26 Ultra. Neither my old watch nor the new one would install on it. Returned the new phone and watch, and I guess I'll wait until the app is fixed.

The ring is absolutely useless, it's just over 1yr and where it used to last 7 days, it now only lasts about 7hrs, no support from Samsung, especially since their update to UI8 made the battery life go down so much, and when they do an update to the ring, omg it took the battery to hours. My ring is a size 13 with the bigger battery, and now it's just a normal ring on my finger, a very expensive waste of money, rubbish, I am soooo annoyed with Samsung and would never ever buy a ring again
