Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

It's really a nice unit I upgraded from a four to this eight and what a world of a difference I hadn't known that they made so many improvements that the knock knock fingertip Taps so many things the health alerts it's beautiful if you have an older watch like I had you'll love this and also the redesigned watch band is beautiful as well

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 love the watch capabilities. This watch has amzing features. I would recommend this watch to all my friends that like andriod.

I haven't been this happy with a watch in a long time. Love the shape and fit of this one.

Very nice, and comfortable, the battery is great...good for the rude work.

I have the 44mm. Love the watch & the new design. Battery last longer on this model.

This one is better than my initial model purchased less than 2 years ago. The wrist band broke on that one and Best Buy fully replaced it with my new. Highly recommend the extened warranty back by Best Buy. Very happy with Best Buy and Samsung. Great team!

Love Love my new watch. It works awesome and the battery life is fantastic.

This watch looks great, feels great, and works smoothly with my phone.

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.

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.

Excellent, good battery, better than my old watch, very nice and elegant desigh

[Employee of bestbuy] Love this smart watch, it integratss perfectly into my samsung ecosystem. I especially love the sleep tracking that then tells me how well my sleep was and how it affects me later on.

I love this watch! I bought a different nylon, breathable band and it's much better! It tracks my sleep, my steps, calories burned, and my workouts. I wish it had the find your phone feature like my previous Samsung watch though.

Honestly when I first thought about buying a watch I didn't want anything too expensive and I don't want anything too cheap something in between that would give me the best bang for my buck and honestly this did it the only problem I have is that you need to charge it every other day so sometimes when you're on the go it gets a little troubling but else than that it's solid

I Love everything about my Samsung S26. I had an Iphone for over 10yrs. Also the sales staff at Bestbuy is #1. Took their time explaining all features as well

Easy to use right out of the box! I love the larger screen—it makes reading messages and staying organized for work so much easier without feeling bulky. Great smartwatch for everyday use.

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

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.
