    Had the smartwatch 4 and upgraded to the smartwatch 8 44mm. Great watch and battery life is great. Love the new style on the smartwatch 8.

    The Samsung smart watch is everything I expected it to be. It’s really like having my phone on my wrist. So comfortable I can barely tell I’m wearing it.

    Great watch - terrible band

    The watch is great and does everything as advertised. The band, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Bought the watch with the silicone band which is cumbersome to put on and gets hot and sweaty as the day goes on.

    Found this watch at a great price during a Drop deal. This is a big upgrade from my Galaxy Watch 4. The screen is incredibly clear and it seems more customizable. The app is easy to use and I like the border around the face. You won't be disappointed with this watch.

    love the watch. I had the older samsung watch (i forget the model) but i stopped wearing it quickly because I didnt like the feeling of it on my wrist. too heavy and just always felt it (sounds weird). This new watch is soo light, you dont realize its on. i love the watch. and bought a bunch of bands to change colors depending on clothes. yeah I still try to match. lol. its great to have quick access to messages and emails etc. and all of the monitoring apps it comes with are great. i like how the bands are where you can quickly swap bands. you coudl swap bands on my older one also, but it was a pain trying to grab that little metal pin and push. this is more like a flat button to push in. super fast to change bands.

    I love my watch. It definitely does more than just give you the time. I just recently started getting more active and my watch helps me keep track.

    Attractive, functional, and lighter than my older watches. Downside is that the battery life isn't stellar and the charging rate is quite slow. Upsides are lots of fitness metric tracking and nice new interface.

    Samsung - Galaxy Watch8 for an old timer.

    I purchased the Galaxy Watch8 44mm Blue Tooth Watch. As I get older (I'm 67) and I want to do a little bit of monitoring my basic health such as pulse rate when I am doing things as well as Oxygen level as well as some sleep issues. I'm relatively active, biking and playing non-contact sports. I'm not interested in being connected to the world of things, so basic readings and time are what I use most of the time. I have set my settings to be minimal and get up to 4 days of battery life. I prefer the bigger screen. The information fits better than the 40mm screen.

    The watch is sleek and light on my wrist. Stylish and comfortable, but not quite as useful as I'd hoped. You will still need for phone to watch videos or to do most of the useful stuff...

    Definite improvement over my previous watch. The lack of a bezel take some getting used to but it's simple enough to use. Screen protector is a must have though.

    This is a great watch! I previously had the Watch 7 and that was my first smartwatch. The biggest upgrade to this watch, in my opinion, is how it sits flatter on your wrist. It really does make a huge difference in comfort and functionality. The sport band is both comfortable and durable and the UI and Google Gemini works very well. It is also extremely customizable, with plenty of watch faces to choose from right out of the box and countless others available for purchase, so you are able to prioritize whatever features best suit your lifestyle. The battery life isn't the greatest but it gets you through the day, so not really a huge deal. It also charges very quickly. If you're already a watch 7 owner and are perfectly comfortable with that, would it be worth upgrading? Probably not, But you also probably wouldn't regret it if you did.

    So handy and convenient, came with 2 years of free unlimited data so that was a nice bonus. Comfortable, not too bulky. Battery life lasts way longer if kept on power saving mode

    I upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 8 from the Watch 6 and I am glad I did. Display and battery life is much better. Works well with my Samsung Z fold 5 phone. Health and exercise tracking is helpful.
