Overall we are happy with this purchase. I gave it 4 stars because I noticed the battery doesn't last a full day. Things my first watch do I'm not sure if thisnis common.
I especially noted the battery recharge is limited to 90%, in an effort to extend battery life. It seems to be working fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery life is terrible!

I do like the Galaxy 8 watch look. However, the big issue I have is the battery life. The battery does not even stay charged for a day. I have very few items on the watch. Just a few health items.This is a very big dissapointed as it is difficult to stop and charge for wat h while you are working.

Howdy Oscar, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your constructive input as we improve our product line. If you feel as though the speaker on your Galaxy Watch8 is not loud enough, please begin by checking your volume settings in the Wearable app and watch Settings. Please ensure that your speaker isn't wet or blocked. Then, restart your watch and update the software, if needed. Sometimes, you can quickly reset the volume of your device during calls by turning it down to zero and then back up to 100. Lastly, debris in the speaker grill could be the culprit so be sure that your device is clean. If you have any questions for us or if you would like any further assistance, please feel free to contact Samsung Support at your leisure. We're always happy to listen and work toward a better experience for our customers. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra

Great Activity Tracker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this watch to track daily activity and workouts. Easy to use and integrates great with my Z Flip 6. The only negarive (and reason for 1 star reduction) is the high price of additional watch bands.
