Love the features, they really fit my on the go life style. But only expect to get about 6 to 8 hours of use out of the watch before it needs a charge especially if using any of the features as the battery just falls on its face with abysmal capacity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible app timeout settings
on June 12, 2026
Posted by: Sammy
Expertise:Expert
Do not buy this watch. The app timeout maximum on this watch is 2 minutes. That means if you use an app that you aren't actively hitting buttons to keep it awake like disc golf, golf, or fitness timing that EVERY TIME you need to look at it again it wakes the watch up to the home screen and you have to go into the app drawer to open your app back up. Why would it not by default wake back up to the last app you had open? I don't know, presumably because Samsung thinks they know what you want better than you do. In old versions of wear OS you used to be able to increase this timeout to an hour, now it's 2 minutes max. Especially terrible and annoying for disc golf and golf apps, DO NOT BUY for those.

Good day Sammy, Thanks for taking the time to share your candor with us regarding your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your sentiments as we continue to make improvements on our product line to suit the needs of our customers. To keep your Galaxy Watch8 display awake while using your golf app, please ensure to maximize your built-in Screen timeout and use the Show last app feature to keep the app on the forefront. By enabling "Show Last App", this setting will ensure that when you raise your wrist or glance at your watch, it re-opens your active golf app instead of the standard clock face. Feel free to check out the resources shared below. Let us know if you have any questions or if you would like further assistance by contacting Samsung Support at your leisure. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer. - Debra
