Water resistant not

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not as vulnerable to water as me toned. The moment I wet mine it started acting up. All I did was wash my hands. Ridiculous for the amount of money we paid for it

Galaxy watch 8 battery disappoint
on December 6, 2025
Posted by: Jassy
Expertise:Intermediate
really like all the features — they make my workday so much easier. However, the battery life is disappointing. It doesn’t even last through an 8-hour shift, which is a big downside for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The battery life is improved, but not by much. The sleep stats are inconsistent; seem to calculate every other day. I like the face and the band; i got the hybrid band. I traded in my galaxy 6, so i didn't pay full price or else i would've been upset that i did. I hope the galaxy 9 will be the best yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I don't want to activate payment with the watch.
on December 31, 2025
Posted by: Arcangel
Verified Purchase:Yes
I keep getting a notification to activate card payments, and there's no way to get rid of it. It drains the battery very quickly, and it's driving me crazy, so I've decided not to use it.

Good day Yessid,
Thank you for finding the free time to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We value your honesty as we improve the design and functionality of our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. You can bypass the "activate card payments" notification on your Galaxy Watch8 by managing the Samsung Wallet app or disabling NFC. You can turn off notifications specifically for the Samsung Wallet (or Samsung Pay) app from your phone's settings. You can also manage the pop-up behavior directly within the Samsung Wallet application. The Galaxy Watch8 offers a powerful 3nm processor that has longer battery life and improved performance. The battery life on the Galaxy Watch8 varies depending on the usage. The 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. If you're experiencing less than optimal battery life on your device, please take a moment to review "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to help resolve what you may be experiencing with your battery life. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like further assistance after checking out the resources shared below, please do not hesitate to contact Samsung Support.

Nice watch. Horrible Battery Life
on February 1, 2026
Posted by: Its okay
from Summerville,SC
Expertise:Intermediate
It's an okay watch. I purchased it to stay within the Samsung ecosystem and was hoping for smooth integration with my phone. Everything works fine: nice gesture controls, good screen color and brightness, and awesome features.
However, the biggest problem is battery life. I am averaging a day and a half, and this is with some features turned off. I assumed battery life would have improved over previous generations, but it's actually worse. I have had other smartwatches with similar feature sets that could last nearly two weeks. Disappointing battery life for a modern device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch helped me through some heart health issues. The watch is now helping me with my weight loss goals. This is a great product to own.
