    I love the new watch design and it works so good for me especially since I'm using it on a daily basis. The battery life is so good and I like that it doesn't need a lot of time for it to charge completely. I would definitely recommend this item to my friends and family members.

    Excellent upgrade from a Galaxy Watch 5, new health data metrics, longer battery life, lighter plus same beautiful Samsung screen and great integration. Love being able to personalize so completely.

    Purchased for hubby to go with his S25 ultra. Watch is sleek, lightweight and provides all the health stats he wants. It looks very stylish, can be dressed up or down. He is very happy with it and said it is better than his Garmin.

    Bought for my wife to replace her Watch5 that will no longer turn on. Not a great deal of differences but works well. Great to monitor sleep and workouts. Battery life seems to be better than the 5.

    Very sleek, modern and the color allows you to wear with almost anything albeit the bands being able to change. Battery will last long if you monitor usuage and depending how long you will be out. its comfortable as long as you adjust the fitting to your suit

    This was a gift for my wife to replace an old S3 model. While the options are not hugely different, performance is greatly different and battery life is a big difference. Love our Samsung products.

    I love the watch but I do have an issue with the band that it comes with. It is on the smaller side so if you have bigger hands, this will not fit you. Thankfully BestBuy has a ton of band options online as well as Samsung. The watch has great features and I find myself using it more than my phone now adays, I might splurge on the next version and get the LTE one.

    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.

    As someone with Tattoos, I was hesitant on getting this version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch line. The sensors on the previous models would not detect they were on my wrist because of my tattoos, and I wasn’t about to get an Apple Watch. My husband and I decided to try the new model as some people reported that Samsung improved the sensor, and they were right! The battery goes about 2.5 days without charge for me, and the vibrations and sounds are not too obnoxious or powerful. It took a moment to figure out the sleep tracking, but once I did, it worked perfectly.

    Very nice. I switched over from the Apple Watch Ultra and wanted to go with something that was less bulkier and more lowkey and smaller. Loving how light and how nonintrussive its been. Battery Life has been pretty amazing on par with my ultra when not using AOD display.
