I love this watch but that battery drains to quickly the durability is okay I accidently dropped it on my concrete ramp and it left a small but noticeable and the Silicone watch band has ripped at the buckle so it make it challenging to put on
The 40mm size is perfect for me, due to my wrist size. The band fits perfectly and the watch's face is more attractive than my S6 Galaxy it replaced. The health features, text alerts, Ring alerts, weather app, GPS that tracks distance and time, etc. I like everything about this watch. Nothing missing.
I had a 6 for a few days before deciding to trade it in on this. Battery life is much better and the release buttons for the band makes it super easy. I learned I'm overweight and my running level is at the lowest possible so that's nice. 😀

The Galaxy Watch8 44mm is a great Android smartwatch with excellent display, health features, and smooth performance. The main downside is battery life, which usually requires charging every 1–2 days.
