Really it's about the same as the Samsung Gear S3 I upgraded from, but a few more health sensors. The battery life seems a little better, but I'm still charging daily. Main thing is notifications work great and there's no annoying thing in Samsung Wear saying it's not supported.

At first, I wasn't a fan of the design, even after the unboxing event. But seeing it in person really changed my mind—it's quite lovely! I think GW6C 47mm has a more classic look, but this design definitely has its own charm. I just wish the screen were as big as the Ultra or GW6C. Overall, I'm really enjoying the watch, and I love the new strap system; it's a great update. Oh, and if you have 22mm straps from older Samsung watches, you'll be happy to know they work with this watch using an adapter from Amazon.

This is my favorite Samsung watch so far. I have had the frontier and galaxy watch 5 pro and this one is the best yet. Battery life isn't stellar but I charge daily anyway so it's not an issue.

Couldn’t be happier. Much better than the ultra. Missing a lot of health features that Apple Watch has but on the positive side, I get a rotating bezel

This watch is fantastic. The screen is bright and clear, it connects easily to my Samsung phone and is very intuitive in it's functionality. Battery life is better than previous versions but could still be better.

I love smartwatches. I currently own an Apple Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch ultra. But this Galaxy watch 8 classic is my new favorite. It’s just perfect. The rotating bezel make it even better. I highly recommend anyone thinking of getting this, 100% worth it

I previously had a GW6 Classic 47mm and did not like the way the watch fit on my wrist. This new classic fits perfectly and looks like a much more expensive watch. I also have a Garmin Fenix 8 that I love and is better for more intense workout metrics. I like having this watch for occasions when I want a elevated dressed up look. I've gotten multiple compliments on this watch after only wearing a few days. Great job Samsung!

I had a watch 7, and i upgraded to the classic watch 8, and im happy i did. I love its classic design, and the rotating bezel is a big selling point for me. I was worried i woildnt like the shape of the screen, but its perfect.

Watch is very well made. I've had this for about a month and without a doubt is the best classic watch that has been made. I had doubts about thr new design but after wesring it for the first time, it looks amazing.

This is my first smart watch and I got this primarily to monitor my sleep. It does a very good job with that. I am not using it much for the day to day things like emails and texts but it comes in handy and I can see why people use it. My review here is mostly to say that I really like the "classic" design of the watch because it goes with dressy clothes as well as casual, and the bezel looks great. I love the faces that Samsung provides and the chronograph styles seem to go well with this watch design. The band is comfortable but sometimes I fidget with it because it's either too tight or too loose. But overall pretty good. The battery life, at least the way I use the watch on a limited basis, has been excellent. I leave in the morning with about 80% and get home 10 hours later with about 40-50%. I leave it on power save mode. I charge every night before bedtime, and put it back on to monitor my sleep. So it's going from being charged at night to 90% to around 40-50% 24 hours later. That's pretty good, but if you use it more actively I am sure it will take more battery life.

Big improvement over my watch 6 classic I traded in. Battery lasts few days. Overall a great product from Samsung. Bestbuy trade-in process was little bumpy on a open box purchase. Thanks!

Well designed the watch panel and bazel rings was such a amazing combination. I was so excited to see it and trade in my watch ultra don't even thinking more.
