The reason I upgraded from the galaxy watch 6 was because of the processor, and I'm glad I did! The watch looks nice too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent watch, lots of features, no glitches. It just needs a bigger battery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was iffy on whether or not I would like the squircle design but now I love it! It is thinner, lighter, and the screen feels bigger. I like the design updates like the buttons being a little more flush and the quick change straps are amazing, they are so much easier to change out now. I also feel like the health tracking is more accurate than my previous Watch 5. The only thing that would make this even more phenomenal is a little bit more animations in the watch faces or transitions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery life is awful
on January 10, 2026

Samsung galaxy 8 battery life is awful. Sometimes not lasting through a day even with battery saving settings on, low light and only touch activate. I can't wear it to bed because I have to charge it every night. Also not fast charging as it says in description. I can't get my texts to show up on the screen. I have to manually go to the text app which is frustrating. I don't think the watch is worth the hype or thr high costs. It takes about an hour to charge. Other than that, I like the features, different customizable display, and being able to receive phone calls, text or other notifications.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, January 12, 2026
Good day Jenna,
Thanks for providing us with detailed feedback regarding your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your critiques provide valuable insights that will assist us with improving our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also have Samsung Care+ as an option which can be added to an eligible device. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It may 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 Galaxy Watch8 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Please take a moment to review, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. In regards to your text messages, please check your notification settings in the Galaxy Wearable app, ensure modes like Do Not Disturb are off on the watch, confirm your phone's Bluetooth is on and connected, and verify your messaging app has notifications enabled on both devices and set to "Always show on both devices" in the Wearable app. Feel free to let us know if you would like any further assistance after checking out the resources shared below by contacting Samsung Support at your leisure. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer.
