    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

    This watch is truly the best! I had the lte version and did not care for it as much as i was not getting text messages from my phone. I decided to go ahead and purchase the bluetooth version because i have my phone on me anyways. Very light and do not even realize i have it on my wrist.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It does have a lot good options and we can manage it through a decent app from phone. l like the way its work except battery and design is ok. The build quality is scratch proof. over all a good pick for the money, if your a android user especially samsung.

    It Just Makes Sense

    While I thought this watch was really ugly, it has grown on me tremendously. It just works. It's thin, it weighs nothing, it has Spotify over LTE, I can do DJ nights on my runs without my phone. No drama, build is solid, UI makes sense. It just works. I thought the Pixel Watch would be better because it looked better, but the Galaxy Watch 8 is a far superior device.

    My issue with this gen watch are the buttons. For me, they do not stick out enough. Other than that, I like the 44mm size, the band is same as the rest. Looks like a few more choices on the ap as far as watch face goes. I would say if you are a Samsung person and not an isheep you should get it. I wish I could leave a review after six months of use, I hate that best buy would let me leave a revie after like 20 days or so. I don't have a chance to use the item, and they want a review.

    This watch is so much easier than before. The bands are easier to attach and remove. Gives you the options for larger images (which i need). All around great watch.

    So much more than I expected. I watched YouTube and learned so much about the functions I use so many. I'm so pleased I purchased my Galaxy Watch8. I had a Galaxy watch 5. The 8 face is so much clearer and easier for me to read (I'm 84 but still good eyesight).

    Love it. I wear it everyday and it keeps me in check. Battery lasts me 2-3 days when im not playing with it so much. Got much more use out of it than apple watch. Gemini is great.

    So far I've been really enjoying it. I love being able to use gestures on one hand to control the watch and check texts, etc. The step counter is a bit off though. Counts way more steps than you actually take.
