Upgraded from a galaxy watch 4 classic. While i sometimes miss the rotating dial, the large crisp screen and longer battery life make up for it. Upgraded for the extra sensors for health tracking. Works great for that. After wearing for a few weeks I dont reach for the dial anymore. I like that multiple widgets can be put on pages instead of 1 per page.

this is my favorite thing ive bought from best buy yet! This is the first smartwatch that I bought and have used, and I dont think I can go without anymore! Ive been a person who doesn't like wearing watches and always have my phone on me so the idea of a smartwatch felt redundant. Until I bought this samsung watch 8 and now I've been able to sleep better than ever! the health tracking on the watch is a huge change for me. Im not a very active person as I enjoy watching youtube and have become very unaware of my inactive lifestyle. everyday the watch tells me about how long I slept for, my heart rate, and when I should be active after not being active. having an active reminder when to move rather then a timer with a beep, sounds like a small deal but it feels more like a gentle reminder rather than a loud gong in my ears. The ability to measure my bpm on a daily has made me realize how stressed and worried about daily life activity as well. being able to read a number based on my feelings help me understand what im feeling at that particular moment and helps me make a decision during stressful times to better my life. I used to not do a whole lot as I mentioned before, and this would include exercise. I dont usually know what kind of workout I wanna do and how long someone like me specifically should be doing a workout for. Having a centralized app to look to for workouts with specific metric data helps me understand and want to workout more than ever. I now just choose the workout that I want and go by the timer set by my watch tuned to my specific needs This watch also allows you to call people, as someone who feels uncomfortable with pulling my phone out in public, I love that my watch can respond to texts across diffrent apps and can answer calls on it too! It makes taking to others a breeze! I can get a notification on my watch, read it, respond and read the time, all under a 5 sec time limit. I can now do all this while im in a meeting, while someone is busy during a conversation, or while im holding objects as google assistant is integrated with most of the functions on the watch not to mention the amazing customization for the watch faces! you already have a large selection of watch faces to choose from but being able to customize the already chosen watch face is amazing. choose a classc watch face and you'll see that you can change the color, arms, "complications", and many more features that are watch face specific. being able to change the complications are very nice as you can choose between a bunch of options that you can use to monitor diffrent actions like, steps, watch battery, uv index, weather, bpm, etc. all in all, this watch has changed how I think about not just smartwatches, but the use of having a watch brings in general. The new squircle design looks alright i think the looks of the outwards extended circle kinda looks weird but its probably due to the design of tech nowadays I think that anyone that anyone who is considering this watch should 100% pick up this watch, it will improve your general life and your active life drastically.

I've had 2 other Galaxy Watches and this one is definitely an improvement. The battery is lasts much longer than the Galaxy Watch 5, and apps load much quicker and smoothly. They used to be glitchy when opening and my Arccos Golf app used to disconnect sometimes during a round. Now Arccos stays connected and updates the every club swing and distance. The only complaint I have is they changed the overall shape of the watch. I liked the traditional round shape of the Galaxy 5. The new watch still has a round face, but the overall shape is square with rounded corners. It looks like Samsung is trying to copy the Apple Watch. Big mistake in my opinion. I don't want any of my devices to look like Apple products!

I am in love with my watch. I needed it for tracking my health, and so far, it's doing great. However, I'm unsure about the Wi-Fi functionality because my watch doesn’t receive any notifications when I'm not near my phone. Additionally, I dislike having to charge my watch every night; if I change the watch face to a fancier design, I have to charge it twice a day. Other than these two issues, I have no problems, and the watch size is perfect for me. Perfect for me.

The performance of the watch8 is awesome! Really Smooth, no problems at all! For the battery life The only thing I can say is that I don't charge it for 2 days and a half . I love how you can customize it too! It's really comfortable to use and if you sleep with it you don't even feel it. Its just awesome for me and I really recommend it !

Easy to set up and use. Quick responses with all apps. Audio playback is decent; however, some apps require tweaking. My only complaint is that the battery drains quickly. I've used apps that allow listening on the watch or sending via Bluetooth to other speakers; you can almost see the numbers drop minute by minute. On the one hand, I like using the watch and its wide selection. Still, after listening to Audible, or music, and like apps, I invariably end up placing it on a charger, which I'd add is quick, but it's a pain, and I find myself limiting what apps I use or substituting my watch 6 while I bring the 8 back to speed. Additionally, switching between the 6 and 8 is automatically recognized by my Ultra, so there's no need to fuss with settings between changes. Hope this helps, in summary (quick) nice watch with a comfortable fit, and lots of toys (apps) to keep me amused/occupied/nice selection of fitness and health apps. Battery life - well, I'm a little disappointed - I im sure that'll be addressed. I'm going with 3 stars for now.

Light and slim, very comfortable! Very affordable and durable!

One of the best watch ever had, health tracking and monitoring makes it easy

Everything about the Samsung Watch 8 44mm is impressive. There nothing i could find bad about it. Great looking watch. And, all the features it has are easy to personlize to my needs. From appearance, fitness & health. I'd strongly recommend the Samsung Watch 8 to Android users who haven't already purchased one.

So the watch look, feel, battery and everything looks amazing. But the free 2 year data and texting comes with a catch, so you won't be given any additional number to this service, and your primary phone needs to be on and in network at all times to send text and make or receive calls from the watch. I understand there are other watch services with network which uses the same number as yours, but this is different. I sometimes have to put my phone on flight mode or turn it off, But I expect my watch to do its job. But it doesn't And I also understand that it's not Samsung's fault, it's just the promotion terms with Google Fi they have. But overall it's a good watch.

I’m really enjoying the Galaxy Watch 8 so far! The size is perfect—it’s comfortable for all-day wear and doesn't feel bulky. The new AI features are actually useful and intuitive, and the overall performance is snappy with zero lag. It's a great upgrade!

I will say that the look of the new watch is sleeker. I expected this to be a significant upgrade from my Samsung 4 watch, but it's not. Does it have a few upgrades, yes. But when you use them, the battery dies quicker than the old one I've had for years.

My boyfriend is so happy with his watch. He is a big fan of Samsung. So he said yes absolutely incredible watch. With a 44mm size and incredible functions. The quality of the screen is amazing.

I purchased this watch for my husband for Christmas. He said he loves it! The functionality of it, the skeekness and the size of it.

Love it amazing watch nothing negative to say Go samsung

Love the new style of the Samsung Watch 8. It's a big improvement from the Samsung Watch 7.

I love this watch! Ive had the last 2 generations of the galaxy watch and so far this one has the best battery life.

Honestly this was the best money I ever spent. I was having medical issues and my cardiologist suggested I get a watch like this to track my pulse rate throughout the day. I am now never without it.

Love the new design. Easy to change the band out. I have the 40mm

Bought it for my wife. She loves it! This is her third Samsung watch .
