Terrible battery life
on June 21, 2026
Posted by: ExSamsungWatchUser
from Seattle
Expertise:Expert
Bought this because the Watch Ultra was just too chunky for shirt cuffs but the battery life is a joke. If you want a watch to do nothing more than show the time, this will work but if you want it to track activities or actually use other apps, you'll get less than a day's use before the battery dies. Complete waste of money and can't even trade it in for a better version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Paradigm Shift
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: NickyNono
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For years, Samsung has been at the forefront of wearable technology, but with the new Galaxy Watch8, they haven't just taken a step forward—they've taken a monumental leap. After spending a week with this masterpiece on my wrist, it's clear that the Watch8 isn't just an iteration; it's a revolution. It seamlessly blends breathtaking design, groundbreaking health monitoring, and intelligent performance into a device that feels less like a gadget and more like an essential life.
From the moment you unbox it, the Watch8 exudes premium quality.
But the real star is the new Dynamic AMOLED 3X display. It's stunningly bright, making it perfectly readable even in direct summer sun, and the colors are unbelievably vibrant. With bezels that are virtually non-existent, the screen seems to float on your wrist, creating a truly immersive experience whether you're checking a notification or admiring a new watch face.
A Paradigm Shift in Health Monitoring
This is where the Galaxy Watch8 leaves the competition in the dust. The new suite of sensors, powered by an advanced Bio-Active 3 chip, offers insights we've only dreamed of in a consumer wearable.

Galaxy AI is now fully integrated into the watch, allowing you to summarize lengthy messages, draft intelligent replies, and get proactive suggestions right on your wrist, all processed on-device for speed and privacy.

As a first time watch user IT IS AMAZING!

Posted by: Galaxywatchuser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never owned a watch before so i was eager to get the galaxy watch 8 when i seen it was coming out. The watch is beautiful. The graphite band just looks so stylish and the watch itself really turns heads. I love to use it to monitor my steps and it also helps as a sleep coach. I love the Galaxy AI features.. especially when i need to find out an answer to a question without having too do alot.

The battery runs down too fast. I can't even wear it a full day without recharging. Very disappointed in this. Full charge lasts less than 12 hrs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Similar to predecessor but w/ style!
on July 30, 2025
Posted by: Kiwigirl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy watch 8 is very similar in functionality to the 7, main difference I see is instead of swipe right to left capabilities it is now stacked. The only a few negatives and reasons for a non perfect score, 1) battery life is still an issue - specifically when using location. 2) the new interface requires a new charger 3) and most important for me... messages apps (both Samsung & Google) don't seem to be operating correctly with the watch!!!
