It won't stay charged for 24 hours.
on March 29, 2026
Posted by: Looavul
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Galaxy 8 watch. I don't mind charging it daily. I do object to it running out of juice before 24 hours are up.
I love the convenience of not running for my phone each time it rings, just to see it's spam.
I love measuring my heart rate when. I work out. I would love to wear it when I sleep, but the battery is dead by dinner time.

Love my new watch!
on March 29, 2026
Posted by: RKGalax
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently picked up the Galaxy Watch 8, and it’s easily one of the best smartwatches I’ve used. The Galaxy AI integration feels super helpful, from tracking my health stats to giving smart suggestions throughout the day. It syncs perfectly with my Galaxy S26 Ultra, and the battery life easily lasts through my busy schedule. Streaming music, workouts, and notifications all run smoothly, and it’s really elevated how I manage my daily routine. Samsung has made this watch both powerful and effortless to use!

simple and functional

Posted by: Curlie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this watch is simple to use and has so many functions! I do think the battery goes out pretty quickly but I remedied that by leaving it on power saving mode. I wish it came in gold or rose gold for the girlies with some band options other than the silicone/rubber one.

New but still familiar
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: Rdodge79
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are some noticeable changes compared to previous models when you first get the watch. That said, many of the core features remain the same, so it feels like an upgrade without being overwhelming or difficult to adjust to.
I found setup quick and easy, and the ability to personalize the watch to fit your preferences and needs is a big plus. Overall, the watch is very user-friendly and straightforward which I love.
Some of my favorite features are the versatility—it’s not just a watch. You can send and receive texts, take calls, listen to music, and track workouts, along with many other useful functions.
My main complaint is with the charging design. The new watch doesn’t sit as securely on the charger when placed on a flat surface. The band design prevents it from laying as flat as previous models, which can make charging a bit less convenient.
Overall, it’s a solid upgrade that builds on what already worked well, with just a minor design drawback for me.

Battery life is poor.

01. Battery life is poor.
02. Not sure how long this watch can be connected to the phone. My Gear S3 watch is in excellent working condition but it can't be connected to my phone (S26). Error: watch can not be connected after 2024 releases ( ???.)
03. Color: when choose black color, added some black item between the buttons. Not sure, how we say that watch is black. Goto the site try to customize color and see. How funny it was.
Functionality is good when compared to Gear S3. More features added. But the battery life is poor.
