Rather disappointed in this watch. The battery life is not any better than the Galaxy 7 that I had. Also programs are not any better. The only thing I find better is it has a bit nicer screen other than that I don't think it was really worth the money I spent.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last galaxy watch was the galaxy watch 3 with tizen. The new galaxy watch 8 is top tier! I traded my pixel watch 3 in i wouldn't switch back. Bixby integration with galaxy ai this watch is a winner.
Best decision yet, I just upgraded from the Iwatch to this and i love it
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI watch was very comfortable. As a first time AI watch user I noticed the buttons was easy to find. The watch band had enough holes for my small wrist. I also like the you can switch out band colors,. I would like better access to go between app an calling, texts etc. Maybe in the beginning play a video explaining how to use the watch an maybe randomly one a month show the video again learning how to use the watch. I also would rather it automatically connect to my main phone line instead of connecting to additional servers or lines. I like the background colors

Upgraded from my 44mm watch 6. While most of the functionality remains the same, but there are a few more added capabilities in terms of its sensors and health monitoring. Display is richer, and much easier to text on. Multitasking capabilities improved over previous models. Quite pleased with the aluminium casing. Still love my gestures too.
Love the watch mutch better upgrade than my Galaxy Watch 6 would for sure recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the new galaxy 8 watch after I had an heart attack. It watches every move I make! Helps me with sleeping and can test for sleep apnea. Continues to monitor my heart rate and takes a ecg to let you know that you have a normal heart rhythm or a possible issue. Counts steps, monitor stress and blood oxygen levels. I only take it off to charge and that's fast as well. I'm very satisfied with my watch!!
