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'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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

The Galaxy Watch8 (44mm) is a standout Android smartwatch — elegant, powerful, packed with health and fitness tools, and a dependable daily companion. If you want a capable smartwatch that marries style with functionality (and don’t mind charging it every day), this is a fantastic choice.

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 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.

Watch is great and all features in it are awesome. Best watch and best fitting
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
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 .

Miss the rotating ring

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.
