The new way to access the Buds Manager in Ui8 moving forward. You no longer need the Wear app on your phone. The Wear app is now only for Galaxy Watches and the Galaxy Ring.

This is a good thing, in my opinion. You don't need the wear app if you only have Buds.
 There are 4 different ways to access the Buds Manager: 

1. Bluetooth settings, by tapping on the cog wheel.

 2. Settings page, right under your profile when the case is open. 

3 In the Quick Panel on the volume slider by long pressing the slider.

 4. The Buds widget, tap on the widget when case is open. This by far my favorite way to use the Buds Manager, you don't have to open the Manager to just switch between ANC, Ambient, Adaptive and off.

You can still get to the Buds Manager to check for software updates. Most people do not have smart watches. This is so you don't have to download the Wear app if you only have buds.

Yes, but I prefer all the accessories from the watch, ring and headphones to be only in one exo system... I do not see the reason to separate them.

Not everyone has a watch. I like it separate, I don't have to swipe between devices now. I mainly get to my Buds Manager from the widget.

I find it an incredible pain in neck. It was so easy to do anything I wanted with the wearable app and now I have to hunt for the settings withvmultiple taps. It would have been ok if it were its own top level item under settings but the implementation as is doesn't work for me.
