Customer Ratings & Reviews

The watch came in very fast and it has been a joy to use so far. I always wanted to have the rotating bezel so this is my first classic samsung watch. The squircle design has grown on me and I feel like the screen size is big enough even after using the watch 7 in 44mm and a oneplus watch 2r with a big screen. The battery can last me about 2 days with lte data off and continuos heart rate and stress turned on. I also do sleep tracking but not snore detection. With Lte set to auto or on, I get a day and 5 hours of battery life.

I bought this to help monitor my blood pressure. It has to be calibrated every couple of weeks but that's to be expected. My wife is a nurse and she regularly checks my BP using the manual cuff. Every time she helps calibrate it, her readings and the watch are never off more than 2 points! We are both very impressed. I don't care too much for the factory band (I was never a fan of bands made of plastic or rubber). So I went online and found a bunch of metal bands to choose from. It really adds to the appearance and I always receive compliments. I would buy it again but these things are pretty reliable and after a few years, the only reason I get a new watch is to keep up with technology. I do recommend this watch to someone who appreciates a classic looking watch and wants to keep up with and utilize the latest technology.

I love this watch; it’s fantastic. The battery life is excellent—it lasts a very long time—and the health features are incredible. I have an atrial myxoma, and this watch helps me monitor my pulse and blood pressure; if I feel very agitated, I can run an electrocardiogram to see if my pulse is normal. I am truly delighted with this watch.

I highly recommend the Samsung Smart Watch due to its exceptional functionality. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and elegance, the watch incorporates artificial intelligence, enabling users to access a wide range of information effortlessly. This feature significantly enhances its efficiency, making it a valuable tool for various tasks.

After using the Huawei Watch GT Pro 2 for years—with its incredible 14‑day battery life even after 3 years of use—switching to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic has been a mixed experience. - What I Don’t Like: Battery Life Coming from a watch that could easily last two weeks, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic’s battery life is honestly disappointing. Even with Always‑On Display turned off, I’m only getting around 2 days on a full charge. I understand that the Huawei GT Pro 2 isn’t a full‑blown smartwatch like the Galaxy and is more fitness‑focused, but the 12‑day difference is still hard to accept. On top of that, Samsung really needs to improve fast charging. It takes about 1 hour just to reach 45–50%, and nearly 2 hours to fully charge. For a premium watch in 2025, that charging speed feels outdated. - What I Do Like: Health Tracking Where the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic truly shines is health tracking. The sensors are noticeably more advanced and accurate compared to my Huawei GT Pro 2. Heart rate, HRV, sleep stages, stress tracking, and workout detection all feel more precise and consistent. Samsung Health also provides deeper insights and integrates smoothly with other devices and apps. - Final Thoughts If you value health accuracy, modern sensors, and a powerful smartwatch ecosystem, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic delivers. But if you’re used to the ultra‑long battery life of fitness tracking watches, be prepared for disappointment.

Absolutely nice watch my fiancé loved it it has so many features

Awesome i use the watch classic 8 every day band is comfortable and connection to phone and network is fantastic

This watch is a nice upgrade from the classic 6 I was using. It feels lighter on the wrist. The bezel turns still which I love. The all white is so stylish

Watch has been a great option and easy to sleep with to measure sleep metrics. I charge when I'm sitting at my desk out driving on my car to keep it up. Turn off always on display as a major battery favor, love my watch!

The quality you expect from Samsung. This device works seamlessly with in my Samsung Eco system.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love the battery life! This watch charges way faster than my old galaxy watch ultra. Also the rotating bezel is def a game changer.

Some people will like this style and some may not. Its best to see it in store first. The band is definitely not the most desirable quality but works for this watch. The new AI features add more from the previous models. Overall a nice watch with a large screen. Battery life is still about one day only

[Employee of bestbuy] Functions like the classics before with the rotating bezel. Good battery life and metrics give good info.

[Employee of bestbuy] This is my go to work watch. Love the free data and messaging thru Google. Very comfortable. They really slimmed it down.

Best Samsung watch thst I've owned to date. Iwould definitely recommend. It's been super tought and resilient. Not one scratch

It works very well, very quickly, has bright colors on the screen, and is a size that fits my hand.

Excellent works well with my iPhone. Looks better than a watch.

I was looking for a watch that was practicle and classy. At first I considered the ultra since they are the top of the line, however I found out that they have the same software capabilities. Coupled with the rotating bezel and the thinner profile, the classic was the obvious choice for me.

This is the Best Samsung Watch yet! It does everthing I need.

Very useful. Love the look. Would highly recommend.
