Title: Like Garmin, Samsung also plans to introduce subscription to lock Galaxy Watch features behind paywall
Post by: Redaktion on June 18, 2025, 13:06:22
Following its launch in March, Garmin Connect Plus received heavy criticism from users who, after purchasing an expensive smartwatch, were forced to pay a monthly subscription fee in order to access all its features. Samsung is now planning a similar subscription model, as the company recently confirmed in an interview.

If this happens,  it may be time to ditch Samsung Galaxy watches and look at other options.

Can't get Samsung Health to reliably work with Health Connect (constant read errors) nor sync with apps like Peloton without feeding results through Strava or FitBit. Yeah, let's add a paywall to make it even "better". Samsung fix the basics before you think to charge for anything.

Galaxy 6 should work with a fall but doesn't.  Fix this feature before trying new features please.
