    This watch is nothing but another amazing Samsung product. It has everything a smart watch is available on. The display is amazing as well as the syncing to my Samsung Galaxy ultra S-22. The phone and the watch work as one unit and this is amazing for charging your phone and still wearing your watch ⌚️.

    Great battery life and face customization options. New health and sleep scores are nice features. The band sent with the product was small and I'll need to buy a larger one. They should give you a band size option. They now use an apple charging base, so I had to go and purchase this, since it did not come with it. Android product using apple product charger? What?

    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.

    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.

    I upgraded from Watch5. I think it's a great update along with all the new features. I'm seeing a clear improvement of battery life but maybe that is due to the age of my Watch5.

    Nice smart watch, I have a smallish wrist so it's a tad bigger than I prefer, but it's still a nice watch. The main downside so far is that the battery must be charged every two days and before the end of the second day. I didn't realize this when I purchased the watch that this is a known limitation of this particular watch.

    I like the products it's a good watch I say good because I believe that they could make for people that are older like myself the face a little bigger without compromising other features furthermore and this might be an oversight on my part if the watch can take my temperature then I would appreciate a representative to contact me and give me some insight on how to check that I also believe that with as advanced as we are it should be able to take your blood pressure from what I understand you have to enter that manually
