[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought th3 galaxy watch 8 last year when it came out. Sorry to say this is not as good as the previous watch. The battery dies too quick and the health app does not update all the time. Hoping the next series will be better.

Great watch, works great with my samsung phone. Will be perfect if I could connect my polar heart rate monitor to it and they could make the battery last longer. Maybe with a ultra low power mode.

Wonderful Watch
on May 23, 2026
Posted by: NewWatchWhoDis
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve really been enjoying my Galaxy Watch 8 so far. The sound quality for calls is phenomenal, and I love how seamlessly it connects with my phone. I also enjoy the Galaxy AI features. The customization options are great, and the updated sensors definitely seem improved and more accurate. The battery life is decent overall, but if you prefer keeping the display on all the time, it could be better. My only real complaint is that the watch bands could be a bit longer. They fit me snugly, and they don’t fit my husband comfortably at all.

I love my Samsung 8 watch
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Jess80
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Google Pixel and I started having trouble keeping the bands on it. My previous watch was a Samsung. My daughter bought me the Samsung Watch 8 as an early birthday present and I absolutely love it. It does so many things that my pixel didn't do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was used for tracking exercise and steps. Band and back of watch became sweaty. Glue around metal on back became loose and eventually off and lost. Not even an opportunity to use AI

Incredible and thankful
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: DizDave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am currently dealing with multiple health issues some still being diagnosed.
Memory is one issue and dizziness. Using the Gslaxy AI along with the numerous features it has helped me relay good information to all my doctor's. Not to mention it pulled all my medical records so I don't need to go into my health provider app now.
I use it for my walks.I use it for reminders.I use it for just about everything.
Love the new Mindfullness app they are Beta testing. Huge help along with my therapist and my mental well being as well.
Honestly, it does about everything except for your laundry and dishes. Lol

Watch me Galaxy
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Galaxyman1983
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My watch is a big part of why my health is important. Keeping up with vitals, letting me know how many steps I've taking when I'm working or working out. It also monitors my night as I sleep which is a plus due to my sleep apnea and it records my hours of sleep that I can report to my physician when I visit him. I work outside so it endures alot, heat, rain, bumping into things and it still ticks tocks and Is built Samsung tough!
