I am a Galaxy Watch 6 user, and I recently received the One UI 8 Watch update. Unfortunately, after installing this update, I noticed several issues that significantly affect my daily user experience, and I believe many other users are experiencing the same problems.

1. The size of the tiles has become much smaller, making it difficult to clearly see important information.
For example, the daily activity tile (steps, workout time, and calories burned) used to fill the screen and was easy to read. Now it appears very small, and there is no option to enlarge it.

2. Sleep information details no longer appear independently on the watch as they did before.
It has become necessary to connect the watch to a smartphone in order to view sleep details. Many users, including myself, care deeply about sleep quality and prefer not to open or rely on their phones, especially after waking up. This change negatively affects the quality of my daily routine.

3. The new interface seems to be optimized mainly for newer models with square screens, while it negatively impacts round-screen models like the Galaxy Watch 6. As a result, the interface does not feel well-adapted to the circular display.
