    This is my first venture into smart watches. The hardest part was finding a u tube video that talked slowly and showed good pics of options on your phone. So far so good. Very light, don't even know I'm wearing it. Charge once a day, same as my phone. I bought for the hard fall alert as my sister fell and lay on the floor for 24 hrs. For the price of an extra line on my Verizon account I have a better and cheaper medical alert. I'll never use half of the things you can do on it. But I'm fine with that.

    Have only had for a couple weeks but it is a great upgrade from the original Samsung Galaxy watch. It is much faster and more responsive and the touch screen feels smoother physically. I like how I can quickly activate Samsung pay by hitting the return button twice. I haven't taken it for a workout yet but I think it will be good, the fit is really comfortable. I was worried the 44mm size would be too small coming from the larger original Samsung Galaxy watch, but it is plenty big.

    The sleep tracking doesn't work all the time, but still overall happy with this new version. Last Galaxy watch was version 4. Garmin still wins overall for battery life and fitness tracking.

    Amazing Upgrade up from my Watch4

    The Samsung Watch8 44mm BT is an amazing upgrade up from my Watch4, (40mm BT) that I had prior to purchasing this one. I bought it for the new features to Samsung Health that only worked with the Watch8. My Watch4 was 4 models behind and was starting to show signs of its age as most electronics do. I have it paired with my Samsung Galaxy S23 phone and it hasn't had a major problem that couldn't be fixed by a factory reset.

    I love my new Galaxy Watch8 44mm, it does everything I need and more. The transfer from my old Watch4 44mm was seamless and took little to no time via Smart Things app. There are so many different faces I can install and utilise to change what I see every time I look at it and the battery is a huge upgrade on this, higly recommend grabbing one of these as soon as you can.

    I actually really like this watch for running. It's thinner than the others that Samsung offers and still offers most of the features that the others do. The only issue is the battery life is low enough that most will either need to charge it daily or every other day. Otherwise, the AI features and new health stats are more advanced than previous models
