    Having been a loyal 5 wearer I was excited to make the move to the 8 and I was certainly not disappointed. From the first moment I put it on I noticed that it was lighter and had a better fit on my wrist. The tended to roll toward the outer part of my wrist and I always felt as if I was centering it. Not the case here, it sits right where it should. The screen is bright and clear and it reacts super fast. With smart switch there was hardly any set up. I have had it for a bit and I do not regret my purchase for a minute. This version also give you more ability to use it... that is Gemini is on board and with a press of the side button is ready to assist, texts and emails are much eaiser and all.of the added health functions are amazing! The battery is also much better than my older model. This was a solid purchase and I highly recommend it, especially if you have an older Galaxy watch like I did.

    Great watch. I've had it for about a month. I love Samsung Galaxy watches since I'm able to track so much in one place. I can tell the accuracy is off when it comes to distance when I'm on the treadmill. It's usually off by about a quarter of a mile when I go multiple miles and about a tenth of a mile when I just go a mile. I don't like that I can't set up routines solely for the watch. It keeps wanting to sync with my phone which is on silent 100% of the time. My last watch was the 5. The battery life hasn't improved at all which doesn't help on days I'm very active. On a day I used it for 24 hours, very active, and did sleep monitoring, by the next morning it had 20% battery life left. It's fully charged in about 30 minutes, but it sucks it won't last more than 24 hours. I like the new tab format and how each tab has a category label.

    Great watch! New look is amazing, screen looks nice and bright, very good resolution. Battery is good for 2 days using the watch all day long including when sleeping. I bought for my wife, initially we got the 44mm and turn it back for the 40mm. That size is more comfortable for her. I attached a picture next to my 47mm Ultra.

    I previously had two FitBits, but the back metal pieces kept falling off, so I wanted to get something different. There is so much more information and options with the Samsung-Galaxy Watch8. I love it and the way it looks.

    Great Watch, Mediocre Battery

    Overall I'm very satisfied with my Galaxy Watch8, as it provides a lot of data on my health, which I'm monitoring ore closely. It's easy to read and there are a lot of options for watch faces and straps. The only negative I'd say is battery life. I have to remember to charge it at least once a day or it will die in the middle of the night, when I most need the sleep information. I've also added a metal strap which doesn't completely unfasten, so I have to wrap the watch around the disc charger that came with it, and the Samsung Wireless Charger Pad Trio I bought to charge two phones and the watch simultaneously.

    Unfortunately, I can't remember the salesman's name, but he was amazing! He took his time and looked for the item I was looking for. When I say he looked, I watched him walk all over that store, up and down, around, in and out. He finally found it most would have given up. Thank you very much for making my day just a lil better..

    Fits well for small wrist. Lots of features you can find on youtube to personalize your watch. Really fast charging from 50%. Be sure to lower how sensitivity when you move your had so that the face doesn't always come on.

    I love the Galaxy Ecosystem. I really enjoy my Galaxy S24 FE and my Galaxy Tab S9 FE. I sold my Galaxy Watch 7 in order to buy the new Galaxy Watch 8. The health tracking is great. The screen is fantastic and battery life is improved however I find this new circular square fusion design to be fugly. I wanted the Classic but it is just way too big, almost as big as the ultra. I returned this watch and bought a Galaxy ring which I am absolutely adoring right now. And I could go back to wearing my favorite Bulova and Movado watches. However, I will say that the Galaxy Watch ECG feature is not available on the ring so if you need that, go for the watch and get used to the odd shape.

    Galaxy Watch8 pairs well with my Galaxy S24 phone. The watch has all the functions I need and I love the customable watch faces. The enclosed band is okay, but I bought a replacement band which looks better. Battery life for me is over 2 days.
