Battery needs work

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.

Excellent watch. Upgraded from a previous model. The screen is bright and colorful. Several standards apps included in the default setup with options to add many more. Very comfortable and light weight. You can't feel it being worn and very comfortable. Samsung hit a home run with this model.

If you have a job that requires you to be away from your phone or walk around alot (this watch is obv the cellular version) this is a huge help. My mother bought an apple watch, but i had to return it as i dont have apple and i got this instead, and i love it. Now if i forget my phone in the office this works as a secondary phone. If im in a meeting it also can better update me than having to be rude and pulling my phone out.

Great upgrade coming from a Watch 6. Very impressed with the battery life and speed of the device. No issues with any connectivity, definitely a solid upgrade. Easy trade in process through Best Buy as well.

Like the 44mm cellular so far (black). Not heavy to wear, and I actually like the square/circle design used for the watch. Although I do need to get a protective screen cover for it I feel to be safe.
I also like the new card designs that they have for information.
I do need to circle back and figure out how to get my Google FI year free cellular service else just dropped by my local Best Buy and ask them about it.
Possible that free service only interfaces with major cellular providers, such as T-Mobile, etc., since it will not be set up as a watch on their service for which one would pay for it.
Once I crunched the numbers the BB dealer seemed like the best overall value with two years, free cell service and the $50 gift card. I'm surprise is still offering it today but if you can grab it with those extras, it's worth it I think.
Too soon to know battery life though feel it will get through an entire day no issues. Must buy an Ultra which for longer most times.

I love this watch. The battery lasts about a day and a half. I just charge it up every morning. It is very comfortable to wear. This watch is definitely an upgrade from the watch7

It is light and thin good quality watch. The only thing when I bought them i specifically asked sales if 2 year free LTE offer covers calls. They confirmed that I can use my watch without my phone present to call and receive calls. Not true it ia a Google LTE which covers only 500 mb a month data and no calls. I had to return this watch. Besides watch 9 is coming soon and probably will bundle wit new samsung phone for less.

I really like the Galaxy Watch 8! It’s sleek, easy to use, and has great features for tracking health and fitness. Battery life is solid and it pairs seamlessly with my phone. Definitely worth it—highly recommend!

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy 8 smartwatch for my husband, and he absolutely loves it. He said that the size and color are perfect for him, and he can now keep up with his daily activities without carrying his phone when he goes on a run.

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.

Watch is beautiful. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because the charging cable doesn’t work with watch so I had to buy another one. However the watch is perfect.

Love the new look of the watch and the band style. New band feels better on the wrist.
