To me the band is a bit uncomfortable, but not taking away anything since that ia a cheap and easy fix. The watch does exactly as advertised and looks great to wear

This watch does everything I need it to! I love the touch screen and the voice commands. It is light weight and looks nice. I had no problem pairing it with my Samsung phone.

I am very shocked by my Galaxy watch 8 44mm.
This is my very first smart watch.
I been using a Fitbit versa 2 for 5 years but i got fed up with it due to poor battery life.
When i had picked up my pre ordered Galaxy watch 8, I was amazed how easy it was to set up on my new Galaxy S25 Ultra.
I had watched a lot of YouTube videos where some users are reporting that the "Battery" will only last for about 25 hours without "Always on display" turned on.
They were extremely upset on the fact that Samsung advertised a 40 hour battery life but the customers arent getting a 40 hour battery life.
On their youtube videos that you will need to charge the watch every morning as it only holds enough charge for 1 day.
However, i had been getting at least 2-3 days of battery life on a 90% charge.
I only charge the watch to 90% (using the "protect battery" setting so that it will prolong the life of the battery.
Well in my case it litterly takes 1 and a half days to get the battery from 90% to 30%.
So I have not used that much features yet i havent used the sleep apena tracking.
I had been testing the "Always on display" setting since Yesterday (August 1, 2025).
When i started the test i had charged the battery to 90%.
I stsrted the test at 11:00am and i did turned off the watch at 11pm to save battery for today (August 2, 2025).
Well as of writing this reveiw, my battery is at 34% and still holding up.
Yes I did turned off the watch last night and that is why its holding a charge.
However i dont use the watch at night so if you use your watch 24/7 you may not end up with 1-2 day battery life.
But for my needs and my case i am getting a lot of extra juice per charge.
I may not even charge the watch every morning unless i need it.
The only complaint i have is the Original Wist band that Samsung makes.
I can not charge the watch with my Samsung Duo Wireless charger due to the layout.
I had to order a 3rd party wistband that is made out of Nylon Elastic band and i can twist the band so that i can charge it with my Samsung Duo Wireless charger.
The original Samsung band was also way too small on me even though it was medium/Large.
But other than the band im happy

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.

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.

I bought this watch from my wife.She loves it as she works out and needs know how many steps and her heart rate. It also has so many other features. Great buy and very stylish, she wears it out to dinner.

This is my first smartwatch and I'm really impressed with the functionality and the ease of use.
I was most interested in the health features and those have exceeded my expectations. Especially the sleep tracking.
My only issue has been the silicone band that's included with the watch. It caused quite a bit of irritation, which prevented me from wearing it all the time. I purchased a third-party nylond band and have had no problems since!
Would absolutely recommend to any Android/Samsung user looking for a smartwatch.

No doubt its a great device with health features ie. tracking features, antioxidant index, adaptive running coach, ECG, blood pressure, body composition, and sleep tracking. The watch also provides practical insights and a daily energy score.
Loooks unique and flat design fixes the charging issues experienced with previous design.

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.

Really like the watch, very comfortable and easy to set up and use. My previous watch was an Amazfit and had a 2 week battery life. This one doesn't even last 2 days but I was aware of that when I made the decision to purchase it.
