[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a Samsung user for years, and I can honestly say this is the most impressed I've ever been with an upgrade.
I previously owned the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and absolutely loved it. It was stylish, reliable, and had everything I needed. I never planned on replacing it anytime soon. Then I decided to try the Galaxy Watch 8, and from the moment I started using it, I knew it was a completely different experience.
The Galaxy AI features have been a game changer for me, especially as someone who manages a business. Having smart tools available right from my wrist helps me stay organized, productive, and connected throughout the day. The watch feels faster, smarter, and more intuitive than anything I've owned before.
What surprised me most was how much I enjoyed the Watch 8 that I upgraded my phone the very next day from the Galaxy S22 Ultra to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Once again, Samsung exceeded my expectations. The AI features, performance, camera improvements, and seamless connection between my phone and watch have made everyday tasks easier and more efficient.
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic was an excellent smartwatch, but the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy S26 Ultra have taken my Samsung experience to an entirely new level. These devices aren't just upgrades—they've changed the way I work, stay organized, and communicate. For the first time in a long time, a technology upgrade truly felt exciting, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung watches are more reliable and functional than any smartwatch I have tried. I switched to Samsung after trying the second watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it for the health app and changing my Playlist while working and not having to pull my phone out to switch songs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my watch3 to the watch8. I have been buying Samsung for as long as I can remember and will always. I love my watch8 with the exception of having to constantly re-boot. The screen locks up and I cannot scroll. I can scroll using the toggle at the bottom of the watch but then cannot tap the screen to clear or open an app. Would have given a 5 star review otherwise.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, June 8, 2026
Aloha Shino01, Thanks for providing us with detailed feedback regarding your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your constructive feedback allows us to make improvements on our devices to best align with our customer's needs. Transitioning from the Galaxy Watch3 to the Galaxy Watch8 is a monumental leap forward. You have moved from an older Tizen-based watch to a modern powerhouse running Wear OS (with One UI 8 Watch). The biggest shifts include advanced AI health tracking, deep Google integrations, a drastically faster processor, and a refined design. Apps you download and install onto the watch can cause the watch to get stuck in a boot loop or not boot past the logo screen. Rebooting it should fix the problem, but you will need to uninstall any apps that were installed before the issue occurred. If the watch is connected to a phone, you must clear the data for the Galaxy Wearable app. If the problem continues, inspect the watch and charger for damage, and factory reset the watch. Please take a moment to review the resources shared below to help resolve what you've described to be experiencing with your device. Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support after if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being an integral part of the Samsung community! - Debra
