Upgrading my Galaxy Watch 4 to an 8 was a fabulous choice. I didnt "need" a smartwatch after retiring, but after having one, there was no turning back for me. Samsung makes quality products that last which makes it worth the $. Besides, they are sleek, have multiple functions, and have many options for faces.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First time using a smart watch
on May 17, 2026
Posted by: GordonCole
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I'm doing work I don't want to have to pull phone out to check every notification, so having a watch to quickly peak at saves me a lot of trouble.
Audio controls, calculator, camera view, heart rate monitor, voice recorder and other apps are super helpful too and keep me from having to use my phone as much.
The screen is clear and responsive. Really enjoying my first smart watch.
Nice watch but keeps disconnecting from WiFi. The only device that keeps doing it. Had to reconnect 4 times in one day and my phone is not more then 30 feet.
I'm coming from a Galaxy Watch 4 that's been in the gym with me for years. The GW8 is already delivering a smoother interface and improved performance. Looking forward to many more years with this one.
My first galaxy watch and highly recommend it. It has many useful features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Features on watch 8

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in love with the Watch 8. It fits my wrist well, and the features are a 10/10. So far, I use it when I'm going to school or outing. I love how accurate the heart rate testing is, and I even love how it has AI Gemini on the watch. I can ask questions when my phone is far away from me or just in my bag. I can even take calls or text; it's made so easy.

I had issues with the four Galaxy watch due to the battery being the worst on the market so I'm really really having high hopes for this one
