    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.

    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.

    Perfect. Goes well with my zfold 7. The physical bezel is a must and this watch literally has it all looks, technology and fits comfortable on the wrist.

    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.

    Some people will like this style and some may not. Its best to see it in store first. The band is definitely not the most desirable quality but works for this watch. The new AI features add more from the previous models. Overall a nice watch with a large screen. Battery life is still about one day only

    Watch has been a great option and easy to sleep with to measure sleep metrics. I charge when I'm sitting at my desk out driving on my car to keep it up. Turn off always on display as a major battery favor, love my watch!

    The Galaxy Classic8 looks just as it is named...... classic! I like that the bezel is used for changing tiles and screens. It is so much easier than the buttons and twisting a stem. Only had it since Christmas so I know about 25% of what it does.

    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.

    Nice display. Connects easily and syncs with my phone. However, advertisements show it can take blood pressure, but does not work in the US because it is not approved in the US.
