Watch 6 screen malfunctions as buttons are being pressed

[Skylar64]

Is anybody else having issues with their Galaxy watch 6? Mine just starts freak-ing out as if someone is pressing the buttons or trying to enter my pin incorrectly. It is also very inconsistent with recording steps and distance. I seriously hate this watch. The 5 was much better and more accurate. I'm about to go back to Apple even though I hate Apple products.

Go back to the 5 if that served you better. I am actually thinking about getting one myself.

[Skylar64]

Yeah, I thought about that too. It was a much better watch to be honest. I don't know how Samsung goes from good to worse

Have you attempted to factory reset and restore from a backup? That typically clears up most strange bugs.

[Skylar64]

Yes, a couple of times. Tried from backup and starting from new. Neither have been successful

I'm having the same issue with mine, taking it to service tomorrow and seeing what they find. Couldn't even factory reset the normal way, had to hard reset and still bugging out.
