Customer Ratings & Reviews

I personally love the new design and battery life is solid. I use the watch for notifications, messaging, calls and general fitness so overall the battery life has been solid but still needs a daily charge. The OS is quite smooth in my experience and better than pixel watch is stability in my opinion and experience. Design is subjective as some may dislike it and some may like it. I like it but only thing missing is a rotating crown that pulls up an app drawer and other functions.

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

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.

The display is bright and easy to read. It's faster then my previous Galaxy watch 5.

Nice watch. So many functions. Very nice for tracking heartrate on my hikes and actually plotting my path on the map! I especially like that it recognizes and keeps track when I go swimming.

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.

Works good! Needs a different band. Love the sleep and step trtracking.

I just love my newest Samsung watch 8. The color and the size absolutely fit and thats they way imloke it. Also it carries a lot more features. Fast charging and the calls are very clear. Kuddos for my watch 8.

I love it, works great. Really like the black/graphite color instead the whitish color Watch7 I had. Battery seems to last longer the the Watch7

I upgraded from the Watch 6 Classic to the 8. I am not disappointed. I have longer battery life and the watch is far more lightweight. I was slightly disappointed about the change in the watch strap attachment (old watch straps can't be used); but I will admit that it is easier to fit the straps. This watch is noticeably lighter in weight than previous galaxy watches which is welcomed when using the watch for fitness purposes.

Better battery life and overall performance. Screen quality good as well.

Durable, comfortable, easy to use. Love all the features it provides. Looks great.

To me the band is a bit uncomfortable, but not taking away anything since that ia a cheap and easy fix. The watch does exactly as advertised and looks great to wear

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

This watch does everything I need it to! I love the touch screen and the voice commands. It is light weight and looks nice. I had no problem pairing it with my Samsung phone.

Excellent watch. Great for heart beat and ecg information. Many geat features.

My wife has had 3 different Samsung watches and likes this models size, its added features and styling.

When i saw leaks about the new model i was very skeptical about it. It was weird looking and wasn't getting my attention. But i needed a new watch due to the Watch7 battery not being how it used to be. So i bought and i am very pleased but this new look and new model. it is so lightweight and just sits perfectly on top of the wrist.

Had the smartwatch 4 and upgraded to the smartwatch 8 44mm. Great watch and battery life is great. Love the new style on the smartwatch 8.

I bought this watch from my wife.She loves it as she works out and needs know how many steps and her heart rate. It also has so many other features. Great buy and very stylish, she wears it out to dinner.
