It's absolutely superb to see that you consider your Watch8 Classic to be flawless, Subhani, thanks in part to the return of some beloved features. It's a timeless design that looks premium, but this aesthetic doesn't just end at the outer design. Once you start navigating through the gorgeous new display you'll discover that there are more ways to keep in touch with your world, or track your health, and the integration of Gemin opens up a Galaxy of new opportunities across the board. We're glad that you're finding the Action Button to be useful, as it was included to make everything easier. It's more comfortable than ever, from the base of the watch to the strap, so you can wear it all day and night. We're glad that you're loving it. ^DB at Samsung Support

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Galaxy Watch8 Classic. We appreciate that you’re still getting to know this fantastic piece of tech, and we’re here to help. To minimise environmental impact and promote better recycling habits, a charging plug is not included in the box. However, your watch does come with a USB-C coin-shaped wireless charger, which allows you to charge it using any compatible adapter. For the calling issue, we recommend following these troubleshooting steps from our colleagues overseas: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10007238/. If you need further assistance or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/.
