    It's like wearing a mini-computer & health monitor

    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.

    This is an excellent watch for users that want quality and a simple, minimalist look and feel. It's perfect for everyday use and has a lot of sensors and health features. I would recommend this product to any Android users (especially Samsung users).

    Night and Day Difference in Comfort!

    I came from an Apple Watch Ultra, which was always too heavy and bulky for my wrist. The difference with this Galaxy Watch 8 is night and day! It's so comfortable and light that I barely notice I'm wearing it. The design is sleek, and I'm really happy with the battery life, easily getting over 2 days on a single charge. Very glad I made the switch!

    I love it! Just got this and I like it so much better than my last watch which is the galaxy 5. It sits better and more flush with the wrist , feels much lighter and the screen seems a bit bigger and able to see better. Setup was quick and easy. Runs smooth. Overall appearance looks really nice. It comes with 2 years of data through google I think it is, so you don't have to be by your phone to text. It's only for texting and not making calls which is a bummer cause I would've liked to get rid of the data I pay for through Verizon cause for some reason my galaxy 5 watch tells me an error message even though i pay for it and was using it for years prior with no issues.

    I love my new Galaxy Watch8 44mm, it does everything I need and more. The transfer from my old Watch4 44mm was seamless and took little to no time via Smart Things app. There are so many different faces I can install and utilise to change what I see every time I look at it and the battery is a huge upgrade on this, higly recommend grabbing one of these as soon as you can.

    Samsung - Galaxy Watch8 for an old timer.

    I purchased the Galaxy Watch8 44mm Blue Tooth Watch. As I get older (I'm 67) and I want to do a little bit of monitoring my basic health such as pulse rate when I am doing things as well as Oxygen level as well as some sleep issues. I'm relatively active, biking and playing non-contact sports. I'm not interested in being connected to the world of things, so basic readings and time are what I use most of the time. I have set my settings to be minimal and get up to 4 days of battery life. I prefer the bigger screen. The information fits better than the 40mm screen.

    Samsung watches keep getting better and better. With a brighter screen, comfortable band, better battery, I could not ask for more. It's tracks your exercise activity and I like to answer the phone with Blue Tooth.

    Great watch. Upgraded from the 7 and I can't be more happier. The new squarish design I didn't like at first but it has definitely grew on me. Such a nice upgrade. If you have a Samsung device, go with this watch .

    Was time for an upgrade from Watch6. Overall wasn't much of an upgrade. It does have a better battery life but it is larger than the 43mm Watch6. I wish it was 43mm, this doesn't fit my wrist as well and I wouldn't want to go to 40mm. The screen is an upgrade but we lost the rotating ring. That's criminal.

    Great Upgrade From Watch6

    I got this after having a Watch6 for a couple of years. The improvements are noticeable. The new design is both functional and stylish. I seem to get more consistent readings now that the watch lays flatter on my wrist. I like the stacked widgets. Makes it easier to see more items at a glance or launch apps with less swipes. Battery life actually goes for 2 days now without a charge. We'll see how long that lasts. A bit pricy for the upgrade and the new band system is a little annoying. I basically have to dump a bunch of old bands since they were 20mm and no one makes an adaptor for them to convert, Probably needed fresh bands anyways. Overall satisfied with purchase.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
