    The GW8 is a very comfortable! I was a little scuptical of the throwback design based on the Grear Sport design from 2017. However, its grown on me. I appreciate the new strap design and the manner to connect them is easy. Plus, I can use my older 22mm straps with it via an adaptor from Amazon.

    I upgraded to this watch from the original galaxy watch. This watch is lighter, thinner and has many more great features. I love it.

    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

    This watch is a great companion accessory to your samsung device, and, has a great battery life with the 44mm. Lasts me about two full days with a 95% charge

    Poor design, excel at tracking, impressive battery

    ​This watch excels at workout tracking and has impressive battery life. Even with the always-on display active for a day and a half, including an 8-hour workout, the battery didn't drop below 30%. However, the design is a bit of a letdown. I wish Samsung had committed to either a circular or a squared design with curved edges instead of the current hybrid approach.

    This watch has plenty of features, but the battery life is really disappointing. Even after disabling all the recommended battery‑draining settings and switching to a simple watch face, I still have to charge it after about 36 hours. I “upgraded” from a Fitbit that did almost everything this watch does—minus calls and texts—and lasted far longer. For the price, I expected a much better experience.
