I have recently visited to market wearing my GW4, watch was fully updated, till yesterday 1:00 PM my watch is working as usual, however all of a sudden my watch showing a red/orange screen and I am unable to recover the watch after resets and several restarts.
It showing only orange screen and nothing else, I strongly believe samsung algedly brick my watch through backward os patch. Since its trying to show watch 8 faces which is completely incompatible to GW4.
I visited to service center and they asked for Rs. 5500. #Samsungbricksthewatch.

Instead, buy a new galaxy watch 7. It's available for 13k or 12k in Flipkart and Amazon during the sale.

I believe this is not a fair approach, just declare the support ends, and we'll switxh to next gen, bricking the watch like this will not give the positive feedback.

Yeah, I get it bro, but it's still better than paying 5500 for an old watch display. I was just giving my opinion.

Thankzs bro, I think switching to next zen is the only option, but the watch is e-waste now and even kidz won't play with it.

Why you are asking the money if you bricked my watch this is not fair.
