Very happy with my watch. Easy to pair to my phone and set up how I want it. So far does a great job keeping track of items I want to keep track of. Was great to choose a watch face that is suitable to the things I want to see at a glance. Have only had it for about a month or two now but so far is doing everything I want it to do. Would definitely recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased this on sale after trading in my watch 5 pro, and if it weren't for how laggy the watch 5 pro has become with latest updates, I would have gone right back to it. The W5P battery life is much better, for a very similar weight and size. This watch, even with the big square cushion, couldn't seem to fit enough battery in it. With sleep tracking, it will lose ~30%, and with AOD, it definitely doesn't last the rest of the day. I actually charge it at night and in the morning just to have enough to last through my day.
I made the mistake of purchasing a GW ultra awhile back, and was disappointed by how bulky and unwieldy it was for the sake of having some battery life; undoing cuff buttons on dress shirts just to fit the watch through is silly. Was hoping this would be a sleeker improvement, but still quite a few tradeoffs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 is pure perfection! Sleek, comfy, and that stunning display pops in any light. Galaxy AI is a game-changer—custom workout plans and real-time coaching feel like having a personal trainer on my wrist. Sleep tracking and energy scores are spot-on, making wellness effortless. Samsung nailed it!

I love my samsung watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is great.I use it in place of my phone. The best part that I love is using my watch to pay at retailers and restaurants. I love all the different faces and I use the health app which is fantastic at tracking my steps. And exercise activity.

Great watch. I love the battery life, big improvement. Great display and very responsive. Glad I went with the 44mm instead of the 40mm. Great buy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It took several minutes to get the watch to turn on. Thanks to Smart Switch, my settings easily transferred. I like that I was able to choose the band. This product allows the user to change watchbands. I only gave 4 stars because the watch face is bigger than I need it to be AND I don't understand some of the Galaxy Store updates for the watch (things I never used before).
I would recommend this to a friend!
