    This model is more comfortable on my wrist than older Galaxy models. The display also seems brighter, and battery life is better.

    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.

    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 .

    I like the new style of the watch and new UI. Its more slimmer and the detachable bands is more easy to take off and replace them

    Attractive, functional, and lighter than my older watches. Downside is that the battery life isn't stellar and the charging rate is quite slow. Upsides are lots of fitness metric tracking and nice new interface.

    Have only had for a couple weeks but it is a great upgrade from the original Samsung Galaxy watch. It is much faster and more responsive and the touch screen feels smoother physically. I like how I can quickly activate Samsung pay by hitting the return button twice. I haven't taken it for a workout yet but I think it will be good, the fit is really comfortable. I was worried the 44mm size would be too small coming from the larger original Samsung Galaxy watch, but it is plenty big.

    I actually really like this watch for running. It's thinner than the others that Samsung offers and still offers most of the features that the others do. The only issue is the battery life is low enough that most will either need to charge it daily or every other day. Otherwise, the AI features and new health stats are more advanced than previous models

    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.
