I received my new Galaxy Watch 9 on Thursday. I charged the watch overnight. On Friday I put the watch on so I could pair it to my S26 Ultra phone. The watch appears to be overheating to the point of I had to remove it so I wouldn't burn my wrist.  The watch will not pair with my phone either - the watch just continually reboots during the pairing process.  I purchased the watch thru Verizon, so they are going to send me a new one. Just curious if anyone else is having similar issues.

    Not I. Mine paired with my S26 Ultra right away after powering it on. Setup wss fast and seamless. Sounds like you had some sort of glitch. I hope the new one works well!

    Try this, go to settings, Google Services, All Services, System Services and check for updates there. Specifically look for Play System and Services updates. Play System might say Mainline.

    Thinking getting a watch 9 next month. Is there much of a difference from the 8?

    The design style is identical to the watch8, but the watch9 has significant performance improvements as well as a 20% bigger battery.

    Very similar problems, although mine is the WiFi version, not LTE. Overheating, ultra slow charging with supplied puck no matter what charging block I've tried, not connecting to S26U, would not reboot when I called Tech Support.

    Hello, I have a different issue. Mine just keep locking itself like if I was not wearing it. Never had this issue with my previous Galaxy Watches. I check the parameters and it is activated to use the sensor to keep the watch alive. Not easy to be one of the fiedt user of new Samsung products 😉

    SIlly question but did you remove the sticker that is on the back sensor area? Because I did not. I didn't even know there was a sticker there and my watch behaved exactly as you describe.
