The Watch that has saved my life many times

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ill keep it quick and simple my phone is unavaliable a lot wether I leave it somewhere or didnt charge it the night before. This watch has saved my life! I can put my earbuds in recieve and make calls I can send and recieve text if not for my watch I would've been stranded many times. And the health benefits of knowing your amount of steps heart rate stress levels etc is amazing. In short I never forget my samsung watch never leave home without it.
I had my old watch for a few years and it was working great, no issues with it. I saw the trade in value and decided to go for an upgrade and I'm very happy i did. I didn't know how much better the new watches are. I will need a different band but the watch itself is better than expected. Tracking steps, larger screen, organizing apps, answering calls, connection to my phone, general service are all much better.
Cannot get it to sync with my Samsung S 20 phone tried for hours.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Howdy Gary, Thanks for taking the time to reach out about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve the functionality and performance of our product line. While some Samsung watches can be set up and used without a phone, all of them can be used with the Galaxy Wearable app on a compatible phone. To make the most out of your watch or even navigate its settings on a bigger screen, it is recommended that you pair your watch to a compatible phone. If your watch will not pair to a phone, or if it randomly disconnects, restart your watch. You should also make sure the Galaxy wearable app is up to date, but it may be necessary to reset the app and unpair your watch. Please feel free to check out the resources shared below to help resolve what you may be experiencing with your setup. If you have any questions for us or if you would like any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Samsung Support. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the watch. No connection problems with my phone. Battery life is good, varies on the settings could be 1 day could be 3 before a charge.
After spending a few weeks with this device on my wrist, I can confidently say it redefines what a wearable can and should be. It's not just the best smartwatch Samsung has ever made; it's the new gold standard for the entire industry.
