Hey Suraj, Thank you for sharing your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve the functionality and performance of 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. If you're experiencing less than expected battery life, please take a moment to review "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to learn what factors may be impacting your device. The Galaxy Watch8 Classic offers a brighter 3,000-nit display, a new rotating bezel and Quick Button, and enhanced health features like vascular load and antioxidant index tracking compared to its predecessor.

Great looking watch. It took a little getting used to the shape but it grew on me. The features and apps are great. Moving up from the Watch 3 classic, the rotating bezel on the Watch 8 looks and feels cheaper. The battery life it also much shorter than the Watch 3 (always on display has been off on both watches).
I pretty much love what Samsung has done with their entire line of smart watches. Two to three hour battery life, at least to me I see a lot more value in that than the little fruit A... want to be smartwatch.
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic looks great and feels premium, especially with the rotating bezel, which is still one of the best navigation features on any smartwatch. Performance is smooth, battery life is decent for daily use, and the health tracking is solid. I do wish the battery lasted a bit longer and that more features were available without needing a Samsung phone, but overall it’s a very reliable and stylish smartwatch that I’m happy with.
This is my 3rd Galaxy Watch Classic in the lineup and, this one is the best yet, in terms of battery life, appearance and overall functionality. I am very pleased with the product. My Watch 6, from new had a tendency to not charge fully overnight or, frequently overheat during charging. this Watch 8 is leaps ahead. the appearance is elegant. I have it in silver.
Bought for my huband and he loves it. he does a lot of work from his phone and sometimes he will open his phone to see a text but falls down the rabbit hole into work during afterhours. Receiving text on his watch has slowed this down and has been a benifit to his daily life.
