Big Improvement over my previous Galaxy watch
I have used the Galaxy watches since the beginning. My last watch was a 5, I skipped 6 and 7 and really wasn't thinking of upgrading just yet. However, I was given this as a gift and I was so surprised at the difference both in speed and capability. AI and the One UI software are a major improvement. It connects seamlessly to my phone and the health features have become more intuitive and consistent. Love the rotating bezel. I missed it from my previous watches. Battery life is also extended.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic
The Samsung galaxy watch 8 classic that I bought is a very good looking watch. This watch has alot of features such as alarms, calendars that sink up to your smartphones. It has changeable watch faces with alot to choose from. The one I picked has a large digital time display which I like very much. Another thing that I like alot is the battery gives me 2 days on a charge. So far after owning this watch for a month now I must say that I'm very happy with it

Perfect watch
Really enjoy my new watch. The bezel is a nice feature. I finally upgraded from my classic 4. Wasnt sure about the size but it ended up being a perfect fit even with my small wrist. I love that i dont have to charge everyday or turn off my watch to save battery. I love the new features that it comes with. The screen is the perfect size to type text and read or select apps. Really helpful when i dont want to carry my phone like when im outside gardening but still have in case of a call, text or listening to music. Overall really enjoy my watch and the new updated features. I enjoy Samsung products and have my ultra 23 for a phone. Looking forward to having these for a few years before i need to consider any more upgrades.
