the talk to text is better than the other galaxy watches so is the watch band connection! I love that compared to the others however the range that the phone stays connected is MUCH WORSE and needs charged almost every night.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, September 16, 2025
Howdy Amanda, Thank you for taking the opportunity to share your feedback with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We value your candor as we continue to improve the functionality and design of our product line. Samsung provides a 2-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. There could be a number of reasons why a Bluetooth device may randomly disconnect from your Galaxy phone or tablet. It could be that the device has a low battery, was moved too far away from the Galaxy device, or the Bluetooth function was accidentally turned off. In order to connect, most Bluetooth devices need to be within 30 feet of the phone or tablet. Make sure the devices are close enough; otherwise, they will not connect. The Galaxy Watch8 battery life varies depending on the usage. The 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Feel free to check out the resources provided below. Let us know if you would like any further assistance afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a devoted Samsung customer. - Debra

Galaxy Watch 8 - Great Product
on September 15, 2025
Posted by: GalaxyWatch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 is a great product. It's light on my wrist and user friendly. The fitness and health features like heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and workout detection have been amazing, and I love how it automatically logs my activity. Notifications and calls on my wrist are very seamless. The only downside is that battery life takes a hit with GPS workouts, but charging is quick, so it hasn’t been a major issue. Overall, it’s a great balance of style, performance, and functionality—I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable smart watch.

Best watch hands down
on September 15, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the watch 4 to watch 8 and I have to admit I'm blown away. The speed alone was enough to keep my attention, but the main thing about the watch is the snug and sleek look to it, which is great for my everyday wear while I'm at work or exercising with friends. Samsung hit the nail on the head once again and I'm very proud of how far the technology has advanced and improved!

This watch is awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay am I the only crazy one to think about how far these watches have come? They look super sleek now and I actually don't mind wearing it. The bands are interchangeable and they're water proof. From working out swimming or even running it's fantastic. They have build in GPS which is a huge thing from even being on the trail. It auto detects for me, so I don't have to waste anytime from manually putting what kind of work out. It will even monitor sleep. It gives a full detailed report about body temperature, heart rate, physical activity, recovery, how much deep sleep etc that I got. Its a good reminder to keep moving, but at times also slow down for better rest at night. I also like how it gives me reminders to get up and move during the day. I have an office job and can easily get wrapped into work, so that function for me is necessary. This watch has an always on display function, which I found only takes a little extra batter life. I like to look down and be able to see the actual time. Bixby voice has came in handy for how many times I have misplaced my phone or even writing out a text message instead of getting side tracked. I'm not the easiest with my items, so I can honestly say that the glass holds up really well. I don't have any scratches and has not broke. To me having a smart watch that has all of the features I like is important. Price point i do think it's very reasonable. This is one of those you get what you pay for.

Great for exercising

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung watch for exercising. Such as keeping up with my walking and running tracks, my heart rate and also breathing. While I'm on my run or walk I also use it for playing my favorite tunes. And talking to family and friends while on a hike. This watch has so many features that I love
