I dont like that my energy score gets flagged everyday and I end up getting daily notifications saying to improve my sleep schedule. I work 3rd shift. I'm not going to quit my job just to satisfy a health app. AOD feature on watchfaces are still an issue. Time read on AOD screen doesn't keep up with actual time and I ended up being late for work one night because of it.
I needed to replace my Watch active 2. I had been looking at the 7 and ultimately decided on the 8. The face seems bigger even though it is the 40mm. Lots of cute bands can be purchased on other websites. Lots of watch face choices. I LOVE MY WATCH!

Watch 8 review
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Lovemydog
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxsy watch 8 I've had for about 1 years. It has been the best watch I've had from samsung. It is slim and light to wear. I love that on the app you could customize it and the best part it tracks my steps and send me notifications when im sitting for too long. I like that as im cleaning my home I could listen to music on my watch without needing to use my earbuds.
After using my watch for several days I have found that it's very reliable and convenient. I have been able to track my sleep patterns and watch my heart rate that always runs high. So I am very glad I bought this watch and will continue using it for the foreseeable future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not my 1st galaxy watch. However 1st one that the battery dies/drains in a couple of hours. No longer can take advantage of my stats at night/during sleep. As of my watch no longer last fully charged overnight. Do you have a horrible part is nowhere to take it to get fixed you have to send it in which is too much time consuming without my watch not even knowing the outcome of it. Starbul can I true use my watch and archuly Love My Galaxy watches until this One.

Nice watch
on April 25, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice display on the watch I love that I can see pictures from my ring camera and more. The Galaxy AI it's pretty neat on it as well. It tells time correctly has some excellent didplays or clocks. I love to find my watch in case I take it off and set it down which I do occasionally then I can find it. It gives great notifications from your phone, nice color display, it's fast, have some neat apps within it and some great settings. I like it as a tips, buttons & gestures and display section so you can find out about what this watch exactly does. I like I can tap to pay with my watch and it has a lock for safety. However I do wish it had better sounds and notifications more upbeat and up-to-date. Give bith notifications to phone and watch if you like. Overall a pretty cool watch. The only downfall I see is that the battery doesn't last more than a day and a half maybe so you have to charge your regular and that's the worst.

Great watch
on June 8, 2026
Posted by: Specz187
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I havent had any kind of smartwatch besides the galaxy fit pro3. The watch 8 is a very nice device. I wear it more than I did the fit3. I did have to buy a different band because the one that comes with the watch is very small but its easy to swap bands with the push button. The watch face is easy to see in any setting outside or inside. I personally like the default watch face because I keep the always on display turned on but when it dims the screen it still looks like a normal watch without using much battery. The health tracking is pretty accurate I think and its fairly easy to respond to messages using the small keyboard or voice. Ive used it hiking, walking and kayaking. I like that it is waterproof and it charges pretty fast in my opinion. Ive also lost it before but it does have a find my watch feature so it was easy to find. I recommend it.
