Battery life is not great
on June 22, 2026
Posted by: Heather05
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this watch last week. So far, I'm having to charge it every other day or sooner. I've disabled all the options that take up the most battery usage. Everything else is great. I switched from a fitbit sense 2 and so far, the sense 2 has been a much better watch. I only got the Samsung watch 8 because my fitbit finally bit the dust after 4 years.

Great features and sleek design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and have been really impressed so far. One of my favorite features is the Galaxy AI integration, which makes the watch feel smart, intuitive, and genuinely helpful throughout the day.
The design is sleek and modern, and it looks great without feeling bulky. As someone with smaller wrists, finding a smartwatch that fits comfortably can be a challenge, but the Galaxy Watch8 is the perfect size. It sits comfortably on my wrist and is lightweight enough for all-day wear.
I also love the Samsung Health app. It makes it easy to track my daily steps and stay on top of my health goals. The insights and progress tracking help keep me motivated throughout the day.
Another standout feature is the ability to customize the watch faces. There are plenty of options to match my style, and I enjoy being able to change the look of my watch depending on my mood or activity.
Overall, the Galaxy Watch8 combines great functionality, health tracking, customization, and a comfortable design into one excellent smartwatch. I'd definitely recommend it, especially for anyone looking for a feature-packed watch that works well on smaller wrists.

Terrible battery life
on June 21, 2026

Bought this because the Watch Ultra was just too chunky for shirt cuffs but the battery life is a joke. If you want a watch to do nothing more than show the time, this will work but if you want it to track activities or actually use other apps, you'll get less than a day's use before the battery dies. Complete waste of money and can't even trade it in for a better version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It was time for an upgrade, my watch 5 was getting a bit long in the tooth, and not staying charged as long as it used to. This has been an interesting upgrade, I kinda miss some of the older features (remember when the bezel rotated?) they kinda have stuff like it by using touch but eh. The keyboard switching to the symbols has given me trouble a couple of times, but I'm weird apparently for wanting to punctuate messages when I send them... Feels a bit nicer (I think smaller) on the wrist, but I like the old band better... I know I can switch it but I wish they'd stop changing the mechanisms...
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch here is light weight. I love the features on this watch. I use it to track my steps everyday, I set it to my liking it has alot of wallpapers. I use it as a phone when I'm not near my phone. I play music on it. Text. I have brought watch covers and bands to switch up the look. Over all I love the watch.
