    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    The watch is great and does everything as advertised. The band, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Bought the watch with the silicone band which is cumbersome to put on and gets hot and sweaty as the day goes on.
