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

I am not usually a reviewer of porducts buybi need to about the samsung watch 8. The pros for me is the design and functionality, being able to keep track of daily activity to better my health is a solid plus for me as well as being able to control my media while exercising is also a big plus for me cause i hate pulling my phone out just to change a new song while running is so very inconvenient. The only real con for me is that it will near constantly keep disconnecting from the Bluetooth and i have to go back into my phone to reconnect. Other then the monor for me this is a very good product and would most definitely recommend for a great quality smartwatch.

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.

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

I love this watch, I replaced my Watch 7 with this and it has been amazing. The battery actually lasts all day and it is comfortable to wear all day

Amazing! Love the new size and screen on these newer versions of the Galaxy Watch. coming from a Galaxy Watch 4 is a huge upgrade. Battery life could be better but I work in-office/home so keeping my watch charged is not a problem.

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.

After reading reviews about this watch, I am comfortable in making this decision. It's very comfortable on the wrist and waterproof. I can wear it everyday with switch to my other watches.

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

It is a good quality watch with great capacity for different applications that help with health and task tracking.

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

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

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love my Samsung Galaxy Watch8! It looks sleek in graphite, feels lightweight, and is very comfortable to wear. The LTE feature is super convenient, letting me stay connected without my phone. Fitness and health tracking are accurate and easy to use, and the display is bright and responsive. It’s also highly customizable with watch faces and apps, making it great for everyday use. Battery life is solid, and performance is smooth. Overall, a stylish and reliable smartwatch I’d definitely recommend!

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.

Battery life for me lasts about 30 hours even without the Always-On Display (AOD). The display is good but the swiping is finicky. The step tracking isn't completely accurate either. It counts an excessive amount of steps when driving. The watch is decently comfortable and pretty water resistant. I've worn it (with the Water Lock on) while working in most outside conditions and I've had no issues(90°F plus, pouring rain, and its been slightly covered in mud).

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!

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
