Customer Ratings & Reviews

Performance and battery are great. They are meant for every day movement.

Thos watch has a lot of features on it and i loke you can change the outlook of the watch.

Bought for my “Android son” who silently envied the iPhone/iOS universe. He would never have purchased this on his own, but he deserved a smart watch to use with his Samsung phone. So far he loves it - does everything he’s wanted, plus many he didn’t know he did! Feedback so far - Feature packed, very good battery life, comfortable to wear, watch face selection is “so cool”. I can’t wait to hear more from him after continued use.

Looks great and awesome screen size. Would definitely recommend

I personally love the new design and battery life is solid. I use the watch for notifications, messaging, calls and general fitness so overall the battery life has been solid but still needs a daily charge. The OS is quite smooth in my experience and better than pixel watch is stability in my opinion and experience. Design is subjective as some may dislike it and some may like it. I like it but only thing missing is a rotating crown that pulls up an app drawer and other functions.

I only ever had apple watch before this. And by far the galaxy watch is a lot more comfortable the screen is the perfect size and elegant. I personally love the running coach feature and it has helped me stay motivated. I am up to 8,000 to 10,000 steps. Before only about 3,000-4,000.

Good buy. Well recommended. Good battery life and performance.

I upgraded from the Watch 6 Classic to the 8. I am not disappointed. I have longer battery life and the watch is far more lightweight. I was slightly disappointed about the change in the watch strap attachment (old watch straps can't be used); but I will admit that it is easier to fit the straps. This watch is noticeably lighter in weight than previous galaxy watches which is welcomed when using the watch for fitness purposes.

Durable, comfortable, easy to use. Love all the features it provides. Looks great.

Amazing watch with decent battery life. Does all the job of a smartwatch.

Purchased this watch for my wife for Christmas. She loves the watch. She has smaller size wrists and hands, she likes the way it fits and is not too large. Quality watch, long battery life with a nice band. Likes the app’s and the cellular GPS.

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

[Employee of bestbuy] Love this watch great display feels comfy on wrist and lasts a long time even with good amount of use

Samsung has made improvements since my last Galaxy Watch and - most of them - I'm happy with. The display is crisp and clear and it activates without argument on a turn of the wrist. Battery life is much improved. I'm not reaching for the charger immediately after a 2-hour bike ride. Sensors seem all to work as expected. As to the band, the first observation is that the included band too big. Beyond that, tucking in the band tail behind the buckle is an ongoing fight against curling and pinching every time. Samsung should go back to a more traditional band design.

This watch is a little big, but I chose this size for the battery life. So far, I am liking it. I can monitor my health as well as answer my phone, find my phone when I absent-mindedly misplace it, get reminders to get moving, check weather, etc. Too many great features to list here. The only downfall is that I do not have a Samsung phone, so some features are limited. Still, I am very happy with this watch.

Excellent fit to my wrist and excellent health tracking: sleep tracking, cardio info, dietary habits, and personalized trainng. Display is excellent. This is the first smart watch that actually turns on the display when I rotate my wrist to see the time. Battery life goes 2 days with a little to spare.

I do love my Samsung Watch 8! I can wear it while paddleboarding without having to take my phone along because it is a standalone phone as well! Samsung continues to improve on features such as battery life, but could still be improved because the battery goes down much faster when it is used on its own. Also happy that they have added that Hard Fall Detection. All in all, it is a great watch.

Great watch. Comfortable on the wrist. Battery life good. Eassy to use. Just great all around. Couldn't be happier with purchase.

Watch was a great price and looks wonderful. Great features as well.

When i saw leaks about the new model i was very skeptical about it. It was weird looking and wasn't getting my attention. But i needed a new watch due to the Watch7 battery not being how it used to be. So i bought and i am very pleased but this new look and new model. it is so lightweight and just sits perfectly on top of the wrist.
