[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a single mom and I work in a busy environment so when I get a msj from my kids I can see if its an emergency or not that way I know if I need to call back or wait till I'm not as busy. If I get a call and busy I can answer thru my watch if i dont have my phone next to me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my watch for all kinds of things and now that I've learned how I actually works I'm really enjoying it thank you!
Overall I've been happy with this watch but do have a few small issues that prevent me from rating it 5 stars. First, for the watch face, all of the options have some of the features I'd like but not all of them. I ultimately chose one of the "dashboard" options that has some customizable components but wish I would have been able to choose a time option that does not include seconds however that was not an option nor customizable. My second issue is that overall the watch is no longer circular and is bigger than previous models. Though I knew this when purchasing I wish it was not the case and would lead me to consider alternatives in the future if the size/design does not change in future iterations. My third issue is with the watch bands. Due to the type of connection on this watch there was a larger gap between the watch and my wrist with the band that came with the watch. I had to purchase a third party band to help mitigate this issue though it is still not as flush as I would like. Finally, I wish there was still a gold or rose gold option. I rarely wear silver or black and a gold finish would match better. Overall though the actual function of the watch has been good.
I love the update design along with the clarity on the screen when reading messages and emails. I also like the new running coach that comes with the updated watch along with the longer battery life.
I was hoping for longer battery life which is why I decided to trade in my Watch6. The battery life wasn't lasting as long as it had when I first got it. The watch8 battery is lasting the same length of time as my watch6 when I traded it in
