I am upgrading from a Watch 4 Classic. My Watch 4 Classic battery life was getting very low, so it was time for an upgrade. This Watch 8 Classic is quite a bit more stylish, although I did wish it came in black like my Watch 4. But I have to admit the silver can be made to look more upscale than the black. I have many watchbands I interchange often. I'm not sure yet what I think of the band attachment method of this vs the 20mm quick attach method on the Watch 4 Classic. I think it will be ok, but worry the locking mechanism will wear out with time. The ability to measure my blood pressure is a nice addition. I have a leaky heart valve and checking it so easily is awesome. The OS is the same as my Watch 4, so not a lot to differentiate, other than it is quicker and battery life is very good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible watch, Terrible service, TerribleSamsung.

This watch is a total letdown.
Battery: It doesn't even last a full day. I have to charge it twice just to make it through 24 hours.
Performance: It's incredibly slow. Apps freeze constantly, and the screen lag is frustrating for something this expensive.
The Bezel: The rotating ring feels cheap and "crunchy," and half the time it doesn't even move the menu.
Tracking: The health sensors are inaccurate. It missed hours of sleep data and gave me weird heart rate readings while I was just sitting down.
Bottom line: It’s bulky, buggy, and way overpriced. Save your money and skip this version.

Best watch yet... Sure. There's room for improvement, but if there wasn't, then it'd be the last watch they could sell, but it's a great watch. It does really well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been waiting for a classic version to come out. I've been on the GW4 and now with the trade in offer it was time. I have not been disappointed, and neither will you.

This is a great watch, the screen is so bright you can see it easily outside in the sun. The price was great too on the Samsung site.
