    Upgraded from a Watch 6 Classic and I have to admit that the difference is noticable. The chipset is snappy and the battery seems much better. Would have liked better color options, but that was easily solved with a watchcase.

    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

    Upgraded Galaxy Watch5 to Galaxy Watch8 Classic. I like the updated look and the extra heft to this model. Charges quickly and settings are easy to change on either watch or phone app. I would recommend to others.

    It's great having the weather, calendar, battery like of phone and watch, answering a call, seeing messages and appointments, accessing youtube music and steps activity all on the watch. The look is also great. It seems durable, but I can't give it a rating because it's brand new.

    I have been in the Galaxy universe since the 5th version. While i love the technical aspects of this watch; the band system is awful. If changing the look of your smart watch is important to you, stick with the 7. I am 67 and have vision issues. It takes me roughly 60 minutes under bright lights to change the band. I almost suspect that Samsung sought to discourage the availability of 3rd party watch bands. I have settled on a band that i feel will be appropriate for my style (such as it is). It pairs very well with my S25 Ultra. I will keep it in service.

    Nothing to dislike. Easy to use and set up. Comfortable on wrist, though I switched out to a metal band. Easy to install. Personal preference

    The battery doesn't seem to be as efficient as on earlier models and takes a long time to charge. Otherwise, nice watch!

    Honestly I didn't want to buy this watch because of the price but it is so worth it over the regular watch 8 and I didn't need the ultra. I really like the black trim over the white and I immediately swapped band over to a metal one. The full metal body and the dial is something I'm so used to from the original frontiers and the screen looks absolutely fantastic.

    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!

    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.
