A quirky start but quickly refined

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this watch and was immediately disconcerted by battery life issues. I cleared the device cache (a quick web search helps here) and it's been fantastic since. Currently averaging about 2 days maybe 2.5 between charges. The screen is 44mm but seems way bigger than previous generations at that spec. The response time of the interface compared to the 6 is worth it alone. The Galaxy AI features are interesting but don't get much use from me. I think as the tech evolves I'll find more ways to optimize with it. Overall, worth upgrading from a 7 or older.
Looks great but battery doesnt last long enough even with 44mm size. Was major reason I went watch 8 vs watch 7
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
