The watch soes exactly as however the problem comes in with the battery life. The battery does not last a whole day even with power saving turned on. I find myself having to charge my watch several times a day depending on what I am using it for. That is very inconvenient and a waste of time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great UI and updates from my previous watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new watch is better in every way over the other watches. The design is very controversial but I really like the uniqueness of the design. The watches UI and environment is great with now having Galaxy AI built in with the watch, able to do very fast and direct answers to your questions. The battery is a bit better than my older watch, but not expecting much more since I got the smaller size. Overall I have no setbacks and no regrets upgrading to this watch.

Ease of use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to get a samsung watch to track my habits. To get better insight on my steps/sleep patterns. Being more aware of what my habits and patterns are help me to improve in my well being. Loving that aspect of things! The band i picked with my watch is cute! I picked a mint green band and love it. The galaxy AI in the watch is helpful too i need timers while working so using that helps me be on point with my timing without having to pull out my phone
I am not a big fan of the new shape. I find it does not fit as well as the round shape. I did go with the larger face which I do like. I like the longer battery life. I wear it all the time, but please decide on one shape, either circle or square.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the watch. I just think it's funny how it tells me that I need to improve my rem sleep. I really dinr have much control over how much rem sleep I get.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the watch and the new design. But I don't like that it isn't truly accurate as far as tracking your walking. Your arma have to move in order for it to know you are walking. Also I would like the blood pressure monitor to be added to the USA VERSION. just to see how accurate it can be.

Spectacular Watch
on September 22, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying out the new Galaxy Watch 8, and here are my honest thoughts:
The design is sleek and feels more modern with its cushion-style face and slimmer profile. The brighter display (up to 3,000 nits) is amazing outdoors — I can finally read the screen in full sunlight without squinting. It’s smooth and responsive thanks to the upgraded processor, and the health features are top-notch. From heart tracking to sleep insights, there’s a lot packed in here, and if you’re already using a Samsung phone, it all works together really well. Especially with Galaxy AI!
That said, the battery life is the main downside. With the Always-On Display, I only get about a day before needing to recharge. Turning it off stretches things a bit, but I still find myself charging it pretty much daily. For the price, I was hoping for a little more stamina.
Overall, I’d say the Galaxy Watch 8 is perfect if you want a premium smartwatch with a gorgeous screen, advanced health tracking, and smooth performance. Just be ready to keep your charger close by.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used galaxy AI on this watch a few times, but it seems to work well. Overall, the watch is a welcomed upgraded from my watch 6 classic.
