But there are numerous complaints all over Samsung’s Community forums in South Korea, and also at least a few reports on Reddit about users in other countries, confirming that many Galaxy Watch 4 users have been hit with this issue. It’s unclear if this happens to every Galaxy Watch 4 once it receives the GVI3 update. Galaxy Watch 4 users, steer clear of the R8xxXXU1GVI3 firmware update! But once the Galaxy Watch 4 running firmware R8xxXXU1GVI3 shuts down, it’s gone for good. Unfortunately, given this behavior, this appears to be the type of issue that can’t be fixed through another firmware update - unless you can keep the smartwatch powered on until the update rolls out. So, to be precise, the smartwatch doesn’t brick itself once the firmware update is applied, but it is unable to reboot if it reaches the point of powering off. More specifically, affected users say that once they’ve applied the R8xxXXU1GVI3 update and allowed the Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to turn off, they could never turn it back on again. Countless online reports from users in different countries reveal that the firmware update can brick the Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatches and render them completely unusable. Samsung appears to have really messed up the recent Galaxy Watch 4 series firmware update carrying number R8xxXXU1GVI3.
