It's a very good device. It has a battery that lasts long enough, and the AI-regulated power management helps. However, if you're looking for a battery you don't have to worry about charging daily (every two days if you activate battery saver mode), check out the Galaxy Watch Ultra or the Galaxy Watch Classic. It bothers me that It bothers me that there are two apps to do the same thing, but that can be fixed with a software update. The gestures are a bit complicated to execute, so one or two sensors are somewhat slow, although I'm not sure if these gestures work better with the Galaxy Ring. The screen is simply beautiful; there's nothing to improve in that regard. I would recommend this watch more for people who don't go out much or who already have a very specific routine, like going for occasional runs or going to the gym. Connectivity is quite smooth if you have devices from the same brand, although I don't have One UI 8 for personal reasons, it works excellently with One UI 7 (based on my experience with the Samsung Galaxy S21 series). I love how easily they connect to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro without having to disconnect the phone first. Samsung's modes and routines work better, however, they still glitch occasionally, although that might be due to their configuration. As for customization... well, there are a few things that could be improved, and I'd like the icons to be a bit larger.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Meh galaxy 8
on December 13, 2025
Posted by: Meh meh
Same old watch with a different label on it. No way to really make it your own and style it. It's still uncomfortable. The bottom is domed so it's uncomfortable. The band makes you sweaty and keeps moisture there. Same thing after washing hands. Battery is half done before end of the day even tho I'm not using text or calling. What IRKs me to no end it the lack of accessories. No official licensed merch like bands or bumpers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The watch is comfortable and attractive without being gawky.
The health functions are excellent, and the sleep analysis is great.
The battery lasts for 2 days or more and charges quickly.
