Great watch, does everything I need, however Samsung inists on having their wallet preinstalled and active on the watch and you are not able to uninstall it. This is absolutely unacceptable. Samsung, do NOT place apps that you cannot uninstall your devices and think that this is just going to force people to use them. Didn't Microsoft get in trouble for the same thing? Next update, this and all other apps to be able to be uninstalled if the wearer so chooses.
Same as previos year, no worth the upgrade , just minimal designs changes, inside the same
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was a nice upgrade from my Galaxy watch 4. The watch shape is also really stylish and awesome. My battery will easily last two days without a charge. It's much faster than the old watch too. Seemlessly connects to my phone with no issues. The sensors seem more accurate and the screen is very vivid and bright. Very happy.
I love the Galaxy watches but this one has a face and band that is too large for my wrist. Very disappointed in the 8.
I would recommend this to a friend!
