Customer Reviews for Samsung - Refurbished Excellent - Galaxy Watch8 Aluminum Smartwatch 44mm BT - Graphite - (2025)

While the watch 8 is an upgrade from my watch 4. It's still not better than my watch 2. The sleekness, quality, colour range, battery life and comfort of the watch 2 cannot be beat. Also, the watch 8 turns off wrist to wake ever so often and samsung has not fixed that even with multiple complains. Otherwise, it's works as expected.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent build quality, customizability, and design. Compared to my Watch 5, battery life and performance are much better and I can comfortably go 3-4 days without charging it.

If I had a bigger wrist I would have purchased a bigger watch. Unfortunately the 40 mm watch face is all I can wear and has 12 to 14 hours of battery life before needing to be charged. I've given up sleep tracking so I have watch access during the day.
I am new to wearable devices and have no idea if battery life like this is common. I have no intention of returning it - will just adjust my schedule to the watch's charging needs.

The watch is not as accurate as I was hoping. I upgraded from the Galaxy ring but I think the ring was actually more accurate. I do like that I can see text messages and phone calls on the watch. The battery life is very short. No joke. I haven't been able to get a whole 24 hours yet. I have had the watch for about a month.

Traded my Galaxy 7 for the Galaxy 8 and got a nice trade in value to make it worthwhile. The Galaxy 8 face is a bit bigger but still fits on my wrist well enough. Most of the same features with some additional Samsung Health options you couldn't get on the G7. Battery life is a little longer but nothing outstanding. Probably haven't set it up to use all its features. Still it was an upgrade worth paying for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall I like the looks and the functionality of this watch. I am glad I went withe the smaller size. The health features are ok and seem to give reasonable results to get ballpark info. Battery life is short, and playing with the watch faces and apps drain it quicker.This was expected, but at this point requires a daily charge.
