DATA ROAMING ON A STANDALONE BASIS - SINGAPORE VERSION IS LIMITED
I just learned that the Galaxy watch 6 sold in Singapore, with CSC "OLB", which I bought directly from Samsung official store, has purposely the Data Roaming feature disabled. Speaking with other owners globally, many mentioned they have a toggle in Network settings to enable data roaming, while on my version is absent.
I inquired Samsung, and after a series of back and forth, they were forced to admit that Data Roaming has not been enabled in Singapore-sold watches.
They tried to attribute the blame to Singtel and Starhub, and to the Numbershare feature,but I informed them that I had the issue with a non-singtel and non-starhub and non-"numbershare", eSim which is otherwise working well on other Singapore based phones and that even registers well on the watch - just doesn't receive data.
When I noticed that this is a deceiving commercial practice, as you would expect Data Roaming as part of any LTE enabled device, they mentioned that they purposedly do not advertise the data roaming feature in Singapore, thus they are not obliged to provide it.
I question this way of operating, as you would never expect a 5G phone manufacturer to advertise a data roaming feature, but you expect any phone to have it, as it is the case for 30 years until today.
I suspect the limitation is due to undisclosed commercial agreements. It would be consumers' rights to know more about it.
Did anyone else notice the same?

Hi
Anyone know how to resolve the issue of when there is voice call from whatsapp, the number display on the watch is from the caller saved in my phonebook?
Now every call in from whatsapp its a very very long random number.
No issue for normal voice call via mobile line.

I feel the classics are not durable if you exercise alot. My last 2 Classic watches all died very quickly. So far my Watch 5 Pro has endured all sorts of abuse with heavy exercise and I am very impressed with it. If I were to upgrade, I will just get the Ultra instead since it is much more durable from my experience. It is more expensive but I do not change watches often unless it breaks down after warranty. I believe the Ultra should last longer than the classic with a bigger battery though I might be wrong if they downgraded the battery.
I bought galaxy watch 8. Where can I buy charger? Samsung website is not selling. Any links will be appreciated.
Also the charger that came with watch 8 is taking 1 hour 40 min for a full charger from almost 0% to 100%. Is it normal? Connection is from laptop.

Charging speed isn't the best, and I think what you're experience is close to normal. Try charging via a dedicated USB charger and compare.
Charger can be bought easily on Shopee. Samsun hasn't changed the model for manny years now and any 3rd party one will do the trick.
