Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the fit of this watch! It is so comfortable- I can sleep with it and I always had an issue wearing to bed with my watch 4. It has so much to offer as far as health & fitness features which really helps me because Im very inti fitness. It is very pretty too and not bulky so it go very well with everything. Ive had it for about a month so far and I am really liking it. The charge STAYS even when I'm doing a lot.

This watch is surpassed my expectations. I had gotten this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift - he recently switched back to the galaxy family (as an iPhone/Apple Watch user I was worried about this watch). After watching him set it up and use it daily- I am confident with saying this is by far one of the most incredible watches I have ever seen. The watch band it came with is super classy but can be worn in all settings. There are so many incredible options when customizing and making the watch yours. My boyfriend has mentioned that his watch and phone connection is so smooth. He loves it and is so happy to have it! Last note: he loves the ability to find his phone when he loses it! This watch is an absolute game changer. :)

I’ve been using this smartwatch for a while now, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The battery life is excellent — easily lasts a couple of days with heavy use. The display is bright and sharp, and it’s easy to read even in direct sunlight. Health and fitness tracking are very accurate. I compared the heart rate and steps with gym equipment, and the numbers matched perfectly. Notifications come through instantly, and it’s super convenient to take calls and read messages right on the watch. The watch feels premium on the wrist and is comfortable to wear all day. For workouts, it’s absolutely perfect. Overall, a fantastic smartwatch. Stylish, reliable, and packed with features. Highly recommend!

Pros: Great watch design if you like the old school James Bond/Pierce Brosnan style Omega Seamaster watches. Battery life is great at times. Feels more comfortable if you change to a steel metal strap band Fare price if you can find one under $250 Most Exercise sessions should work without an Samsung phone, along with a very basic sleep monitor scoring. Cons: I Don’t see this being worth it at full price. I would’ve most likely returned it at full price. Most app don’t work without a Samsung/some android phones, like sleep monitoring, health antioxidant index, period tracking, and music. Default strap is uncomfortable. Does not work with all android phones Does not work with iPhones at all, until the Samsung smart wear is added back into the iOS store. Battery life is not consistently good. My first smart watch. I love the classic design with the steel band strap. The default band strap felt uncomfortable, switching it felt way better. It Doesn’t seem to be worth 500$, but I got an open box for 230$ in excellent condition. Battery life is a hit or miss. I’ll go through the day with only 70% left from 100%, other days it gets below 5% from 100%. I have an iPhone and old 2019 android, watch doesn’t work with both. I kept being told this watch works with all androids, but that’s not true or it doesn’t work with OnePlus phones, my phone pairs with the watch but the app is not seeing my phone. You specifically need a Samsung, to use all features. You can still activate and use the watch without a Samsung nor a phone by pressing the logo a few times.

Great looking smartwatch with a premium feel and smooth performance. The display is bright and easy to read, battery life has been solid, and it tracks workouts and notifications really well. Comfortable enough to wear daily, and it pairs easily with my phone. Definitely happy with the purchase.

I have used the Galaxy watches since the beginning. My last watch was a 5, I skipped 6 and 7 and really wasn't thinking of upgrading just yet. However, I was given this as a gift and I was so surprised at the difference both in speed and capability. AI and the One UI software are a major improvement. It connects seamlessly to my phone and the health features have become more intuitive and consistent. Love the rotating bezel. I missed it from my previous watches. Battery life is also extended.

The Samsung galaxy watch 8 classic that I bought is a very good looking watch. This watch has alot of features such as alarms, calendars that sink up to your smartphones. It has changeable watch faces with alot to choose from. The one I picked has a large digital time display which I like very much. Another thing that I like alot is the battery gives me 2 days on a charge. So far after owning this watch for a month now I must say that I'm very happy with it

The watch came in very fast and it has been a joy to use so far. I always wanted to have the rotating bezel so this is my first classic samsung watch. The squircle design has grown on me and I feel like the screen size is big enough even after using the watch 7 in 44mm and a oneplus watch 2r with a big screen. The battery can last me about 2 days with lte data off and continuos heart rate and stress turned on. I also do sleep tracking but not snore detection. With Lte set to auto or on, I get a day and 5 hours of battery life.

I've had a handful of Galaxy watches over the last decade (S2, Watch 2, Watch 6 Classic, and now Watch 8 Classic). My biggest gripe from all of them was needing to charge every single day, with some days not being able to last for 24 hours even. With the Watch 8 Classic, I was pleasantly surprised. Even with the Watch 6 classic, I could not have a charge that lasted longer than 30 hours. I've gone two days without charging on the Watch 8 Classic. It lasts longer, and it doesn't feel as choppy as any of the prior watches. Compared to my wife's Apple Watch, I was always jealous of the smoothness those watches have. The Watch 8 Classic is the first Samsung watch I've had and seen where it feels incredibly snappy to use. Opening apps takes no time, changing screens is quick, and it remains responsive the entire time. The other massive upgrade I love is the new action button in between the home and back buttons. I set mine to be double click to turn on the watch flashlight, which is extremely helpful at night to quickly get light. I no longer have to turn on my watch, swipe down to open the action center, and select flashlight manually. Two clicks, and I'm there. Overall this is the best Galaxy watch I've owned yet. It's snappy, responsive, has great battery life, good features, and overall feels great to use. I purchased a third party stainless steel band that connects perfectly to the watch and it feels like a high end accessory.

I really like the design of the Samsung Watch8 46mm—it looks premium, feels solid, and is comfortable for everyday wear. Performance is smooth and all the core features work exactly as expected. Battery life is still a bit lacking and could definitely be better, but after switching to a new band, the overall comfort and look improved a lot. Despite the battery limitations, it’s still a great buy and a smartwatch I enjoy wearing daily.

Works great and love the classic look. Was concerned with the size since I am a female with small wrist, have been wearing it day in and day out since purchased dont notice the size difference. I do however notice the weight especially when working out and keeps wanting to slide. Love the stop start push button when swimming but hate it when workout gloves hit it and I dont notice. All in all i would recommend, longer battery then my old samsung watch and i feel more accurate.

Nice watch, tho' still learning its features. Like that it reminds me to 'get moving.' Like face choices. Haven't yet tested feature that is supposed to respond if I fall, which is why I bought it. Also syncs well to Samsung phone. Excellent support from Best Buy - quick shipping, refund on later Black Friday sale price.

Really enjoy my new watch. The bezel is a nice feature. I finally upgraded from my classic 4. Wasnt sure about the size but it ended up being a perfect fit even with my small wrist. I love that i dont have to charge everyday or turn off my watch to save battery. I love the new features that it comes with. The screen is the perfect size to type text and read or select apps. Really helpful when i dont want to carry my phone like when im outside gardening but still have in case of a call, text or listening to music. Overall really enjoy my watch and the new updated features. I enjoy Samsung products and have my ultra 23 for a phone. Looking forward to having these for a few years before i need to consider any more upgrades.

I love this watch; it’s fantastic. The battery life is excellent—it lasts a very long time—and the health features are incredible. I have an atrial myxoma, and this watch helps me monitor my pulse and blood pressure; if I feel very agitated, I can run an electrocardiogram to see if my pulse is normal. I am truly delighted with this watch.

I love this watch so much! After not having a smart watch since the Apple Watch Series 7, this was a change. I was worried the interface wouldn't be smooth or easily accessible, but I was wrong. This watch looks and feels amazing! I read so many reviews that the rotating bezel is so smooth and feels great to toggle between tiles and apps, and those people were right! The rotating bezel is the reason I didn't buy the Ultra and decided to go with the Watch8, and I am so glad I did! I also love the band because it's breathable and comfortable while still looking professional. I did order the athletic band as well, and it's been great swapping the bands out when I work out. The biggest difference I noticed between my Apple Watch and the Watch8 Classic is how easy it is to swap bands on the Watch8. I struggled to slide my Apple Watch bands in and out, but this Watch8 feels secure and still flexible. The battery life is as advertised and can last up to 2 days. The days I've worked out or used my watch more than my phone are when it's barely made it two days. However, it doesn't bother me to let it charge while I shower or get ready, since it charges so quickly.

Samsung did a wonderful with this watch. The GPS accuracy is on point, the customization on faces is really cool, battery life is better than I thought, the rotating bezel is nice feature, and all the health options is outstanding.

Excellent features, comfortable and attractive watch. Second Galaxy Smart I have owned. Had to replace the first one due to malfunction. This one is better though I think there are sesitiviy issues when measuring sleep. It seems to record much more wakefulness than I am consciously aware of.

I bought this to help monitor my blood pressure. It has to be calibrated every couple of weeks but that's to be expected. My wife is a nurse and she regularly checks my BP using the manual cuff. Every time she helps calibrate it, her readings and the watch are never off more than 2 points! We are both very impressed. I don't care too much for the factory band (I was never a fan of bands made of plastic or rubber). So I went online and found a bunch of metal bands to choose from. It really adds to the appearance and I always receive compliments. I would buy it again but these things are pretty reliable and after a few years, the only reason I get a new watch is to keep up with technology. I do recommend this watch to someone who appreciates a classic looking watch and wants to keep up with and utilize the latest technology.

This Samsung Watch offers a sleek design with powerful features, making it perfect for both fitness and daily use. Battery life is impressive, and the display is crisp and vibrant.

This is my first smart watch and set a high standard for all future smart watches. I'm not normally a watch person at all, but my job requires me to monitor texts and screen calls constantly. This watch is comfortable, easy to use, and great for tracking sleep and workouts.
