More specifically, affected users report that after the on Galaxy Watch4 or Watch4 Classic applied an update carrying the firmware version R8xxXXU1GVI3 and left the watch turned off, it never started again. Given this type of behavior, it appears that this is an issue that cannot be fixed with another firmware update – unless the user can leave the watch powered on until the update is released. Once however Galaxy Watch4 running on the mentioned firmware shut down, it seems to be over for good.
