So far the watch has been good. 2 things I dislike are the battery life and the fact if you do a treadmill you cannot edit the distance on the Samsung health app. Several things I like is that it tracks and measures sleep, O2, heart rate snf ECG
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great features

I really enjoy this watch. The capabilities are great, the battery life has been solid, and I love the variety of fun watch faces you can customize. I’m also really enjoying the running training feature—it’s been a great motivator while I’m building my endurance. The sleep analytics are another feature I’ve found very helpful and interesting to track. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wristband caused some skin irritation for me. I ended up developing a rash and had to order a fabric replacement band. I previously had an older Samsung watch and never experienced an allergic reaction with that one. Aside from the band issue, the watch itself has been excellent and I’m very happy with it.
I love my new Galaxy watch! It is beautiful and very useful. I like how it analyzes my sleep, helps me keep active and keeps me notified when my phone is not at my reach.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a galaxy watch users since Active 2, now the watch 8 is on another level when it comes to the health options. AGE and Antioxidants index are nice additions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Traded in my 7 for the 8. Got the big one. It's probably too big for me but idc. I love that i can see the screen so much better. Battery lasts me 2 days. Way better than the 7 and I loved my 7. I do not regret this upgrade.

This product is great, but needs some update

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch is nice, but will be great if improve the Amazon music because I can't heard it, unless I have the phone around, and one of the purpose of acquiring this item was for me to able to heard my music and have my samsung health workout track without the need of phone. I can't heard Amazon music unless I download it, set it up, and only very few songs.
I’ve been using my new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, and I have to say — I’m seriously impressed! ⌚✨
The design is sleek and modern, and it feels really comfortable to wear all day. The display is bright and super responsive, making it easy to check notifications, track workouts, and manage my day right from my wrist.
One of my favorite features is the health tracking. It keeps up with my steps, heart rate, sleep, and workouts, which really helps me stay on top of my fitness goals. I also love how smoothly it connects with my phone — texts, calls, reminders, and apps all work seamlessly.
The battery life has been great so far, and the overall performance is fast and reliable. Whether I’m at work, working out, or just out running errands, it’s like having a mini assistant on my wrist.
Overall, the Galaxy Watch 8 has been an amazing upgrade, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, powerful smartwatch! 🔥
