    I've tried many snart watches over the years and this one is my favorite. It has every feature one can need. And it fits nicely on my thin wrist. My wrist tech search is now complete.

    Excellent - so easy to connect to my phone. So many advanced features. My wife falls down a lot and I'm hoping this will give her some extra safety from being able to call for help to advanced fall features.

    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..

    Beautiful watch. It charges quickly and keeps it's charge for 2 days. My only problem with it is I can't have the same notification sound I had on my old watch.

    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.

    Comfy and functional. I have a hard time.sleeping with watches or really anything on my wrists... so while I rly loved sleep tracking feature, I was never able to use it on smartwatches until this model, I honestly forget it's there. The battery lasts a long while and even in the bitter cold and snow while i work for jours outside it doesnt miss a beat. I love the health tracking on it and accessories like bands and face covers are easy to.find on amazon and fit well with universal/generic items [just make sure it fits the 8 classic].
