    I've had many apple watches, Garmin, and fitbits, and this is the most comfortable to wear night and day. I use it for workouts, sleep, and business! Highly recommend.

    The watch is decent. The new placement of the band connection makes it flat on the wrist giving it a more sleek appearance. As far as capabilities i see no difference in this and any other smart watch. I am a huge Samsung fan and hoped for exclusive features which were not there.

    Enjoying my first smartwatch so far! I wasn't initially a fan of the shape based on pre-release photos, but seeing and wearing it in-person changed my mind. The smartwatch fit is just right for my wrist; and the graphite color compliments my phone quite well. Also, the pre-order incentive was just too good to pass on! Set-up was a little daunting at first with the required Samsung apps, and not all functions are available if users do not have a Samsung cellular (which personally, I am fine with since I don't require every health feature). The 44mm touchscreen I chose is nice and responsive. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

    This watch is great and worth the price. Battery life lasts me over a day with the right settings. Very customizable and responsive. Having Google Gemini comes in handy in the most unforeseen situtations. Purchased at time of promo for 2 years included service and that works flawlessly.

    Really like this watch for my everyday. Its a good running watch and its not too thick like the classic and ultra watches are. The battery life could be better since it cant last 2 days and you end up charging daily. Still recommended

    The watch is as expected. Excellent response especially compared to watch 6 which I had. I use lte a lot. Only one issue. With lte and if you listen to youtube vidoes (yes you can do that), the battery will die in couple of hours. Almost 50% in an hour. Otherwise battery can stay for couple of days easily with normal activities

    The best galaxy watch

    I've been using galaxy watch for years, so far this is best. It has excellent sensor to monitor HR, stress, oxygen, vascular level and sleep. It also detects dynamic workout like walking or running. Very clear calls incoming/outgoing and easy to read messages from smas, facebook and microsoft teams. I would recommend this galaxy watch 8 if your looking for sophisticated smartwatch.

    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
