Customer Ratings & Reviews

​After spending some quality time with the latest smartwatch from Samsung, I am thoroughly impressed. The first thing you notice is the design; the refined chassis and brighter screen are a really nice touch, making it comfortable to wear all day and easy to read even in direct sunlight. ​The performance is where this watch truly shines. The new processor makes navigating through apps and widgets incredibly smooth, and the battery life has seen a significant boost. I was able to get through almost two full days on a single charge with regular use, which is a great improvement. ​For me, the standout feature is the advanced health tracking. The new sensors provide incredibly accurate data for workouts, sleep, and overall wellness. It’s an awesome tool for anyone looking to keep a closer eye on their health

This watch is great i get two days on a charge very responsive i like the screen size only thing that is a bit of a challenge is how the band connects to the watch the old school way with the little pins that's gone I'll probably get the hang of it and so wish they still had a band that closes like the 5 pro but all in all I'm really enjoying the upgrade i had the seven for a short time wouldn't last a day unless i changed a bunch of settings

Great watch. I only upgraded because my old watch was BT and I now need an LTE so my family could connect with me when i don't have my phone. Runs fast, no issues with battery life, although I do charge it every night. Only downside - I'm on Cricket and was going to switch to Verizon. When going through the setup process I ran into the issue that these watches will not work on their service. I researched and found there's a ton of people with the same issue, and Verizon can't do anything about it. I'm currently using the 2 year free service that came with it. Works with your current number, but you can only text, no phone calls.

As a longtime Samsung user, the upgrade from my Galaxy Watch6 to the new Samsung Galaxy Watch8 was nothing short of seamless. The setup process was incredibly easy, with my new watch syncing almost instantly with my Samsung S25 Ultra. All my settings, watch faces, and apps transferred over without a hitch, making the transition feel completely natural. It’s exactly the hassle-free experience you want when upgrading within the Samsung ecosystem. The most immediately striking feature is the gorgeous, large display. With a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits, the screen is absolutely stunning and vibrant, even in bright sunlight. The colors are rich and punchy, and everything from notifications to fitness stats is exceptionally clear and easy to read. Whether I'm checking a quick notification on the go or deep-diving into my sleep data, the clarity is a huge step up. The integration with the S25 Ultra is flawless. The new One UI Watch 8 runs beautifully, feeling faster and more responsive than previous versions. Google Gemini on the wrist allows voice commands for tasks. Health data from the watch syncs instantly with the Samsung Health app on the S25 Ultra, providing a comprehensive overview of wellness. The deep integration creates a fluid and intuitive experience. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 is an outstanding smartwatch, especially for those in the Samsung ecosystem. The vivid, large display is a pleasure to use. Its strong performance and seamless sync with the S25 Ultra make it a perfect companion. It is a genuine leap forward.

I live this watch. From the look with the sleek design, the technology. The functionality of the watch. I live in have the freedom of not carrying my phone and can still call and text when I'm not home. I will say the battery was dying fast and I googles as to why and I followed the steps and it seemed to have fixed the issue.

This watch has exceeded my expectations! It is my first smart watch and it does way more than I realized. The GPS tracking is accurate, fitness insights useful, you can download playlists, and even browse the internet. It also looks nice and fits comfortably. Battery life isn't great if you run a lot.

I am very satisfied with this watch. Battery life is pretty decent and very comfortable to wear

Got it for my hubby he loves it and says its excellent and would purchase again in future!

Coming from the Galaxy watch 4, the 8 is like a 20 year advancement. My text messages are synced in real time, unlike with the 4, and the user interface is super easy to navigate. Put simply, the Galaxy watch 8 is what Samsung devotees expect and demand, but better late than never!

Has done the job. It has done the job for active ware and keeps me on track.

What a great watch! I’m able to customize it the way I want and it’s easy to navigate.

Samsung hit it out of the park with the Galaxy Watch 8. While the squircle or "cushion" design is divisive, it looks amazing in person. The screen is large and super bright, and the processor is finally fast enough to the point where I've yet to see any lag (unlike previous Galaxy Watches, which were a laggy mess). My favorite thing about the watch is how comfortable it is; it's super light and fits much better on the wrist due to the changes Samsung made to the watch band design. I'm getting around 35-40 hours of battery with AOD on, sleep tracking, and exercise tracking. My only complaint would be that the watch is pretty slow to charge, often taking over an hour to go from 30% to fully charged.

been waiting a long time for a smartwatch that i didn't find hideously ugly and especially a samsung watch that i didn't find hideously ugly, so this is my first smartwatch other than a skagen falster that was attractive but was functionally garbage. i find this design quite attractive and the dual contrasting shape... squircle, downplays the overall mass. watch is quite comfortable and enjoying all the biometric sensor reporting. for those trying to get the google fi 2 year promo, it was baked into the firmware and needs to be activated during setup, so if you blew past it, you might need to reset your watch. but verify this with bestbuy. like i said, really like the design, but a bit disappointed in watch band choices so far. the samsung ones looks really cheap and none of the others have matching graphite hardware. as far as size goes, i feel like with my 6.5" (16.5 / 17cm) wrist i could have gone either way 40mm or 44mm. i went with 44. figure if i'm gonna get a geek watch, i might as well go full in. but honestly, i think it's just right. maybe if a band has lugs, it might push it into too big territory, but with the sport band, it seems just right. smaller than 6.5" i'd go with the 44.

Great watch. Does everything thing I need and will be there to ask for help if I have a fall. Hope I never need it but it is nice to know it is there. I am not sure about battery life still testing that out. Right now it seems to last about 36 hours. I like the sleep function and details, Now if I wonder off into the woods I can find my way back..lol

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 has exceeded all my expectations! I chose the 44mm size, which is perfect for my big fingers. I like the fact that I can connect independently to my music, phone, and notifications without having to lug my phone with me when I bike or walk. Plus I can leave my desk at work without every worrying about missing another important phone call. The battery lasts more than a day no matter how many apps I use at once, like music/Samsung health/phone, etc. I've also bought 4 different bands and they are really easy to take off and install. Overall best purchase I've made in many years!

The watch is very user friendly. Battery last about two days. Screen is big and easy to work with buttons. It pairs easily with samsung phone. Overall very good value. Love the watch.

Durable and light with a decent battery life and a super clear bright screen. Easily understands speech. Gestures add to the ease of use

This watch has been great for my wife! It is very comfortable and works well with her Samsung phone.

Looks great and feels like a normal size. The touch scrolling bezel works well. I wish it had a little bit better battery life, although the charging is plenty fast. Overall, I feel it is still a splurge, but appreciate that the time will always be accurate, even if other health sensors have a lot of caveats. Pros: Build quality, ecosystem, included LTE when purchased through Best Buy Cons: Expect planned obsolescence, price

Several things I like about the watch. There's tons of features. It can track almost anything you can think of. That is the main problem. If you use all the features of the watch the battery is only going to last 12-14 hours. Then with a 2+ hour charging time it becomes very annoying. However with all that said it is still a great watch. I did almost return it, now I'm glad I didn't. BTW I didn't like the wrist band, but got a 3rd party band that is much more comfortable.
