    The band on the watch is too small so I had to immediately purchase an additional band to even wear the watch

    Battery life is longer than the watch 4 or 6 that i also own. Not a huge fan of the watch band that tucks under the buckle side.

    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.

    I got this watch as a present to my wife that has a terminally illness that needs her to be able to watch her heart rates as well as everything else. All the time this watch has gone above and beyond.Expectations from the last watch that I got her

    The battery is crap you have to charge it everyday. I am thinking about going back to my fitbit. That I charged every 3 to 4 days.

    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.

    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 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).

    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.
