    I LOVE MY NEW WATCH ITS SLEEK STYLISH AND COMFORTABLE HOWEVER i was disappointed to find that while it comes with 2 years of free lte service through goofle fi that works great however it does not support calling and Verizon wireless website states that it is supposed to support number share just like my classic 4 did. I EVEN WENT INTO THE BEST BUY STORE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING AS ME BY VERIZON I LOVE THE PRODUCT OVERALL THE BEZEL ROTATES AND THE 46MM CROWN IS OUT OF THIS WORLD HOWEVER IT IS A LITTLE MORE SENSITIVE TO TOUCH THAN I WOULD LIKE AND ITS EXTREMELY DURABLE I HIGHLY recommend this product even got another one for my better half!

    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 highly recommend the Samsung Smart Watch due to its exceptional functionality. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and elegance, the watch incorporates artificial intelligence, enabling users to access a wide range of information effortlessly. This feature significantly enhances its efficiency, making it a valuable tool for various tasks.

    I love the watch the band is huge. I had to buy a separate band. The face is also very large but it's the watch I wanted so I had to settle for a large watch since it has no size options.

    I'm coming from the Apple Watch Ultra 1, and so far, I love it! Really has a premium feel, and I love the bezel. I thought nothing would beat that Apple Watch, but so far, I'm loving this. I'm not sure how durable it is as of yet but feels premium. Really comfortable, and user friendly with the spinning bezel!

    Best Samsung Watch for 2025

    Love my Watch8 Classic. I had the Watch6 Classic and this watch seems a little less bulky and lighter. The screen is very clear and feels like a quality watch. I wish the watch bands were less expensive and not so exclusive to this model. I use mine with Google Fi for data and paired to my existing Cell phone number. It works good with apps and seems to hold a charge for 2-3 days if you use the power saving and keep the screen off. If I leave screen on and power saving on, then it lasts about 30-40 hours.

    An upgrade for me - YMMV

    Looks much better in person. In ways an upgrade from 6 classic - bigger battery, faster processor and bigger storage. In ways a downgrade - smaller screen and polarizing Squirtle design. I went with the 8c for looks and upgrades; smaller screen also looks more appropriate for the style.

    I really like the way the New Galaxy Watch 8 Classic looks. It's different, I wish they had an all black version, totally black not just parts of the vessel and underside. I still like it though. I bought a Metal Bracelet, looks awesome!! Yeah, battery life should be better, but it's not, with that said, for all the things the watch can do, I can live with it.

    A Noticeable Upgrade

    Upgrading from a Galaxy Watch 4 to the 8, the upgrade in battery life and performance are noticeable and appreciated. Watch face options and included band help to be able to wear the watch casually or dressed up like a "non-smart" wrist watch.

    I had the watch 6 classic and i finally upgraded to this one and the upgrades are amazing. Design is cleaner, and the watch is more smoother. Very helpful when exercising too! Easy to text others when youre not able to pull out your phone.

    Glad to see the rotatung bezel come back this year, and the battery life is also much better. So far the only thing I havent liked is that the rotating bezel doesnt scroll smooth in some apps.

    I recently switched from an Apple Watch, and I’m very impressed with the Galaxy Watch8 Classic. The stainless steel design feels premium and solid, while the larger display is bright, smooth, and easy to read outdoors. The battery life easily lasts longer than my old watch, and the LTE option gives me real independence from my phone. The integration with Android is seamless, and the rotating bezel makes navigation effortless. Overall, this smartwatch combines style, functionality, and performance perfectly!
