Previous watch 6 lasted days. Watch 8 only really goes a day even with features off. No point of sleep tracking if you must charge nightly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Battery Life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear my galaxy watch almost all the time except when it needs charging. I used Galaxy Watch 7 before this one. Most prominent change and very beneficial is the most improved battery life and Galaxy AI. I can last to about 2 days, AOD on, daily workouts +/-45 mins. Galaxy AI is way responsive than before. And this device os way smoother. I am happy I upgraded to 8 from the 7.

Watch 8 taking over my tech needs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S25 Ultra and Watch 8 are not two devices, they are one seamless, unified digital self. The Watch 8 starts my day with silent health insights, providing a sense of informed control, handling quick notifications and payments effortlessly. The S25 Ultra, powered by the S Pen and its instant app transfer, handles every major task with efficiency and power. Together, they deliver a subtle confidence: the Ultra gives me the strength to handle anything, while the Watch 8 ensures constant connection and peace of mind. They simply get out of the way so I can focus on living. Galaxy AI

Smart watches

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time that i've ever had a smartwatch. They are really handy when they have their own line. Again, if everything is samsung, it is very streamlined and easy to use. Now that i've had one I don't think I could ever go without one.
Upgraded from my Watch4 Classic, and it's been going great. The transfer was very easy and painless. Good quality build and look, and has great features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got this watch I was a bit skeptical, last time I had one was YEARS ago when smart watches were just new in the world, so far this thing is amazing. Fast, easy, bright, it's an all around awesome accessory to have! Even watching YouTube videos on it is fun! Gemini AI is also AMAZING on the watch, let alone in general. All around AMAZING watch!
