This watch is amazing!!! I upgraded from the galaxy watch 6... and the improvements are superb!! Voice to text is so smooth and nine times out of ten.It doesn't miss a beat!! Highly recommend
I don't absolutely love this watch the way I loved my watch6. Performance wise is definitely good. I have mix feelings about the model and shape, but the thing I absolutely hate is that I'm no longer able to charge it with my wireless charger I bought from Samsung as well. The shape of the watch doesn't allow it to stick and stay so it totally defeats the purpose of having my triple wireless charger.

Switched from Watch 7 that was giving me 2 days max battery life to Watch 8 getting 1 1/2. A big turn off
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had the 5 pro for YEARS and finally decided to upgrade. This watch is so nice. Love the slim design, and that fact that it has all the functions my previous watch had.
