Upgraded from a galaxy watch 4 classic. While i sometimes miss the rotating dial, the large crisp screen and longer battery life make up for it. Upgraded for the extra sensors for health tracking. Works great for that. After wearing for a few weeks I dont reach for the dial anymore. I like that multiple widgets can be put on pages instead of 1 per page.

this is my favorite thing ive bought from best buy yet! This is the first smartwatch that I bought and have used, and I dont think I can go without anymore! Ive been a person who doesn't like wearing watches and always have my phone on me so the idea of a smartwatch felt redundant. Until I bought this samsung watch 8 and now I've been able to sleep better than ever! the health tracking on the watch is a huge change for me. Im not a very active person as I enjoy watching youtube and have become very unaware of my inactive lifestyle. everyday the watch tells me about how long I slept for, my heart rate, and when I should be active after not being active. having an active reminder when to move rather then a timer with a beep, sounds like a small deal but it feels more like a gentle reminder rather than a loud gong in my ears. The ability to measure my bpm on a daily has made me realize how stressed and worried about daily life activity as well. being able to read a number based on my feelings help me understand what im feeling at that particular moment and helps me make a decision during stressful times to better my life. I used to not do a whole lot as I mentioned before, and this would include exercise. I dont usually know what kind of workout I wanna do and how long someone like me specifically should be doing a workout for. Having a centralized app to look to for workouts with specific metric data helps me understand and want to workout more than ever. I now just choose the workout that I want and go by the timer set by my watch tuned to my specific needs This watch also allows you to call people, as someone who feels uncomfortable with pulling my phone out in public, I love that my watch can respond to texts across diffrent apps and can answer calls on it too! It makes taking to others a breeze! I can get a notification on my watch, read it, respond and read the time, all under a 5 sec time limit. I can now do all this while im in a meeting, while someone is busy during a conversation, or while im holding objects as google assistant is integrated with most of the functions on the watch not to mention the amazing customization for the watch faces! you already have a large selection of watch faces to choose from but being able to customize the already chosen watch face is amazing. choose a classc watch face and you'll see that you can change the color, arms, "complications", and many more features that are watch face specific. being able to change the complications are very nice as you can choose between a bunch of options that you can use to monitor diffrent actions like, steps, watch battery, uv index, weather, bpm, etc. all in all, this watch has changed how I think about not just smartwatches, but the use of having a watch brings in general. The new squircle design looks alright i think the looks of the outwards extended circle kinda looks weird but its probably due to the design of tech nowadays I think that anyone that anyone who is considering this watch should 100% pick up this watch, it will improve your general life and your active life drastically.

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!

The performance of the watch8 is awesome! Really Smooth, no problems at all! For the battery life The only thing I can say is that I don't charge it for 2 days and a half . I love how you can customize it too! It's really comfortable to use and if you sleep with it you don't even feel it. Its just awesome for me and I really recommend it !

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

I will say that the look of the new watch is sleeker. I expected this to be a significant upgrade from my Samsung 4 watch, but it's not. Does it have a few upgrades, yes. But when you use them, the battery dies quicker than the old one I've had for years.

Love it amazing watch nothing negative to say Go samsung

Love it. It's great when I am working out. It helps let me know that my heart BPM is good. I have afib and it monitors my heart rate.

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

Really enjoying the Galaxy Watch8 having used another product for many years. It has great features, sits comfortably on the wrist with it's low profile, and looks good. The battery life is acceptable, getting around 36 hours before having to charge.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 it's fantastic! After all this years and past models finally the 8th edition it's worth buying and wearing! *The quality and Design are flawless and the light weight make this watch a great looking wearable and a perfect companion while working out or even sleeping for tracking purposes! *The UI runs very smooth and the screen is very bright and responsive. Also it is very customizable and everything looks so good on this watch! Wear it daily or use it to achieve your fitness goals ir track your sleep, with almost 2 days of battery life (normal usage) this watch is fantastic and comes at a very competitive price! I'm loving it!

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 am upgrading from a Galaxy 6. I was really happy with the amount I got for the trade in. It wasn't a huge leap in technology, but it has many small improvements that made the upgrade worth it. The overall design is better. It feels more comfortable on the wrist and is flatter. Battery life seems a little better. Speakers are very good. It comes pre-installed with Gemini where you press a physical button to activate it and instantly pops up.

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).

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've been wearing my Samsung Galaxy Watch for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with its features and performance. The design is sleek and stylish, and the display is vibrant and easy to read. The fitness tracking features are top-notch, and I've found the watch to be accurate in monitoring my activity levels and heart rate. The built-in GPS is also super helpful for tracking my runs and hikes. The battery life is decent, and I've been able to get through a full day without needing to recharge. The watch is also compatible with my Android phone, which makes it easy to receive notifications and control my music playback. One thing I'd like to see improved is the integration with third-party apps. Sometimes, it takes a while for notifications to sync, and I'd love to see more app options available. Overall, I'm really happy with my Samsung Galaxy Watch, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed smartwatch.

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.

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.

I love this watch! The design is different yet elegant. The features are great. The screen looks brighter. Well done, Samsung!

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.
