    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.

    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.

    This was a gift for my Daughter and she loved it, she owned a previous one that was over 5 years old but likes this one more due to the longer battery life and features.

    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.

    I got this watch as a birthday gift because I wanted a smart watch. I love tracking my steps, water intake, checking my EKG, my heart rate, monitoring my stress level, my antioxidants level and monitoring my activity level with my rest. Don't hesitant on this gem. Buy yours today!

    I purchased this Samsung watch as an upgrade from the FitBit Versa I have been using for years. So far, so good. I really like the design, is user friendly and looks good while wearing. Definitely recommend watching a few You Tube videos to learn the best ways to save the battery, because otherwise it drains pretty quick. Would definitely recommend this one!

    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.
