    Wife needed an upgrade

    My wife needed to upgrade her Galaxy Watch 3 badly. She says she loves how big the watch face is, how sleek the whole watch look, and how smooth it runs. There was a delay between her phone and watch when getting notifications or alarms and the Galaxy watch 8 has no delay and lasts her 2 days between charges. She enjoys all the features her old watch didn't have, like having google maps and gemini on her watch and not needing to open her phone for those apps. They talk to text is more accurate and can use google messages on the watch. She bought a screen protector, a protector case, and colorful watch bands.

    Amazing Galaxy Watch 8

    The Galaxy Watch 8 provides a significant battery life improvement over previous models, with the 46mm Classic version lasting up to two full days on a single charge. I'm getting a day and a half of battery life with Wi-Fi and aod turned off. A significant upgrade over the previous variants.

    I'm a certified hardware technician, and I am very satisfied with this purchase RAM speed works great thought it couldn't hurt if it had more, but aside from that it's useful, convenient and I a very pleased how much more it can monitor and track, in comparison to the 4th series.

    It is a great watch in software, but I do not like it very much in design . With Samsug, not today other options that one takes advantage of with the ecosystem of the same.

    Upgrade from 6 Classic

    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.

    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.

    love the watch. I had the older samsung watch (i forget the model) but i stopped wearing it quickly because I didnt like the feeling of it on my wrist. too heavy and just always felt it (sounds weird). This new watch is soo light, you dont realize its on. i love the watch. and bought a bunch of bands to change colors depending on clothes. yeah I still try to match. lol. its great to have quick access to messages and emails etc. and all of the monitoring apps it comes with are great. i like how the bands are where you can quickly swap bands. you coudl swap bands on my older one also, but it was a pain trying to grab that little metal pin and push. this is more like a flat button to push in. super fast to change bands.

    Love the new 8 series. Seamless setup and great screen. Battery life is good and will vary depending on what you turn on. While it may be just me, the watch feels more comfortable then previous versions. Great experience so far!
