    A Nice Upgrade

    I traded my Galaxy 4 Classic for this 40 mm Watch 8 BT. I received a $150 trade-in value for my old watch and an additional $50 Best Buy gift card. Not only a great deal, but also, in my opinion, an upgrade in style and, of course, battery life (compared to a 3 year old device).

    I love this watch! I wanted something to track my steps, but for the cost, this does so much more! This is my 1st smart watch, so I was a little worried about figuring out how to use it. No worries, it was easy (plenty of online video help as well)!

    I've have several smart watches including apple watches and fitbits. This is an amazing watch because it includes gestures to make it easy to control without touching the screen. It also tracks sleep more accurately for exercise for me personally I believe this watch to be better than an apple watch. It's very comfortable not boxy whatsoever. I also enjoy that it shows me my antioxidantes ticket me.kmow when I need to eat more greens. If you want to be more involved with your health I say this watch is the one.

    With a recent diagnosis of heart issues, I wanted to track and keep up with as much as I could. This watch gives me more than I had expected. Accurate? Yes. The numbers are like getting them from every other medical device. It has been a big help.

    Great watch. Gemini is awesome to have. Had a few minor glitches at first but once I updated a couple of times, everything works well. It's exactly what I hoped for! By the way, it's very comfortable to wear if you buy a fabric wrist band

    This is my third Samsung smartwatch. I wanted to get the latest fitness/health monitors available. I also liked the case of the watch 8 over the watch 7. with trade-in value of old watch, the upgrade was very inexpensive. Also, the Bestbuy staff was excellent.

    My first smartwatch

    My first smartwatch. It has taken me a couple of weeks to discover how access most of the functions and see how it integrates with my Galaxy S24+. Band is surprisingly comfortable. Battery gets low quickly but has always lasted the entire day. I love the choice of screen displays for the basic watch functions. Great for notifications from my phone and setting on-watch alarms for naps and other tasks. I wish it did blood pressure but I'm happy with the pulse check. I can't use the sleep function because I'm already a CPAP user. Overall, great buy, useful and a lot of fun.

    There's not too much that i dislike about this watch. I've enjoyed previous versions. The one complaint i do have, is the the size of off the band. It is extremely small.

    Upgraded Galaxy Watch5 to Galaxy Watch8. Went with smaller size to fit better on my wife's wrist. Charges quickly and settings are easy to change on either watch or phone app. I would recommend to others.

    Love this watch, the battery life is amazing, lasts for 3 days with normal use. The band is very comfortable compared to the Ultra. Won't be disappointed in how the Galaxy watch is on your wrist.
