Functions like the classics before with the rotating bezel. Good battery life and metrics give good info.

I have been using this 5G Galaxy Watch8 Classic for 3 weeks and absolutely love it. Had a previous Galaxy Watch but wanted to upgrade to this one for the 5G Cellular and the latest health tracking capabilities. The size of this watch allows me to more easily read notifications, text messages and emails. Lots more capabilities I'm still learning about. Easy to use; has long battery life. Connection choices are WiFi, Bluetooth, and 5G. When selecting this watch I was concerned with its size (I'm a small woman) but I love the size, and it fits nicely on my arm. Watch band is easy to buckle.

Super Nice Upgrade from Active 4.

Excellent watch for active people—a nice upgrade from my Active Watch 4 model. I use it for daily work functions, text messages, and my 60-minute circuit workout with continuous HR monitoring. By the end of the day, I usually still have over 50% battery. There are lots of nice features like body composition monitoring, calories used during workout, and Google Fi connectivity.
Well worth the upgrade with a nice trade-in bonus of $200 for my Samsung Active 4 watch.

The rotating bezel is a game changer, you can use it to dismiss or snooze notifications as well as scrolling through menus and display screens. Sleep tracking and fitness tracking are excellent. Overall it feels like a major upgrade from my Galaxy watch 5. I got a metal band off of Amazon and it makes it look like a real watch. It's a little bit big on my small wrist but I don't really mind, it looks great. It also has suffered zero damage in the 6 months I have had it, the bezel protects the screen pretty well. It lasts about one day on a charge, I tend to charge it either when I'm in the shower or on my commute in the car. Zero complaints.

I was looking for a watch that was practicle and classy. At first I considered the ultra since they are the top of the line, however I found out that they have the same software capabilities. Coupled with the rotating bezel and the thinner profile, the classic was the obvious choice for me.

Nice watch. Works as it should. Though it came with free LTE for 2 years, it still needs to be connected to your phone via bluetooth to call and talk through the watch. So no leaving phone at home and just using the watch.

Love this watch! It's stunning, sturdy and a joy to use. My only complaint/suggestion is to allow me to turn off the touch to wake function even when AOD is turned on. The fact that they made this non-configurable is baffling.

I had the Galaxy Watch Classic 6 before. The 6 has a bigger display and I do like the form factor better. However - after the latest update the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic has a far superior battery life and the better health sensors.

I bought this mainly for the design changes (Ultra feel, rotating bezel, etc.). I recommend buying this, however, only if you like the design better. Not much of a performance/function upgrade over the Watch 7.

My husband is not usually a fan of watches but loves this one. It is very versatile and customizable. Can change the face for every occasion; casual, business, sports.
Paired with his Galaxy Ultra 25 phone, this watch allows him to have a virtual assistant with him at all times.
I was worried about him liking his Christmas present but this was a home run!

I bought this for my son as a safety precaution to still be able to get ahold of him since he wasn’t able to carry his phone with him at school. My husband and I love that he can still use it even though he doesn't have his phone with him. The screen is nice and big which is a feature our son wanted.

Absolutely brilliant design and coming from the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, the update was necessary! 10/10 would recommend. Will be good for the next 4 years!
