I had no issues. I upgraded from the 4 and itblasts much longer and updated features really are more immerse. I did a trade in, so i got 250 off. Trying the ifit subscription soon. Id reccomend if your upgradeding.
Like the new features, hate the square design and the battery life. Wish it looked better design wise and had a 3 day battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Howdy Deadskull, Thank you for sharing your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. Your constructive feedback allows us to make improvements with our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also offer Samsung Care+ which can be added to eligible devices. It's similar to an extended warranty plan and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It could cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. The battery life on the Galaxy Watch8 Classic varies depending on your usage. With a 445mAh battery, it offers up to 30 hours of use on Always on Display (AOD) mode.
