[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't yet heavily leverage the Galaxy AI functionality yet. But, I am very happy with the experience. It feels good to be congratulated for good behavior like standing and walking around as I have a very sedentary lifestyle.
The ability to make and receive phone calls independent of my phone also allows me to detach from technology for a while, but still feel like I am safe because I have a way to call for help, if needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the Samsung watch 8 everyday. The health features are excellent. It has a crisp, brilliant display.
Loved it, bought it as a present and it’s perfect. I have to admit that it’s a little bigger than I anticipated but I think that might have been bad on my part. Or my mother’s small wrists. Nevertheless it’s a very good watch very sleek look which I love.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great watch but has some issues
on December 8, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used my watch every day and I have noticed that the battery doesn't last too long and it doesn't notify me of text messages. Other than that I love it. It does exactly what I expect out of a smart watch. Keeps track of all my activities in the tile pretty accurately. The GPS mirroring works well and absolutely love the customizable features.
I have been using smartwatches since the original Pebble came out. After a few of those I move into the Withings because of the long battery life, but I was missing the capabilities of modern full fledged smartwatches. After a few weeks with the 40mm Watch 8 I can say it is very nice having a more powerful smartwatch. Being able to pay from my watch, get full notifications and access to Google Gemini all without pulling out my phone has been great. One thing to note is that battery life is about one day so you need to find a charging schedule that works for you in my case because I wear it at night I charge a little digin my shower and top it off at my desk in the office. Overall very please with the watch.
I love the watch. Its light, stylish and has a great feature set. Comfortable enough to wear while sleeping as well as exercising. The display is easily customized and there are so many styles and colors of bands to match just about any personal or professional outfit. I really love the health tracking and monitoring. I would give 4.5 stars if I could, I only docked for 2 main reasons - 1) I'm not particularly fond of the square body, round face look. I'd prefer the screen shape to match the body, but that is just my personal preference. 2) The battery life was good, but not quite as good as I was hoping compared to my galaxy watch 3 classic. I did have all the sensors active so I'm sure that has something to do with it. Even so I could easily go a day and a half (Day-night-Day) between charging. I would suggest putting it on teh charger when you take a shower, not just to protect it from water and soap residue, but doing so you will always have sufficient power. Useful purchase for sure!
