Time to replace my Samsung Watch
on October 21, 2025
Posted by: DeuceDeuce
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was time for me to replace my original.Samsung watch with the new samsung Galaxy Watch8. Thought I would miss the dial, but I don't. The Galaxy Watch8 feels great on my wrist, I bought some additional bands since they are much easier to change than the original Samsung Watch bands. Has some new features that im getting use to. So far I love it.

Great style and feel. Enjoy the Samsung health app. Light weight. Wish the battery lasted longer though. Need to charge daily.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Watch 8 Out of this world.
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: Thirdcoast
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used smartwatches for years, but the Galaxy Watch 8 is on a completely different level. It's not just an accessory; it's a powerful tool that has genuinely enhanced my daily routine, especially thanks to the integration of Galaxy AI.
The most transformative feature is how Galaxy AI proactively manages my day. It learns my patterns and offers suggestions that are actually useful, from optimizing my schedule to providing quick, smart replies to messages when I'm in the middle of something. It feels less like a device and more like a personal assistant that streamlines the little things, freeing me up to focus on what's important.
Where this watch has truly blown me away is in the gym. As someone who works out about five days a week and is serious about building muscle and cutting fat, the advanced fitness tracking is phenomenal. The watch doesn't just track runs or steps; it automatically detects specific exercises during my lifting sessions, tracks my sets, and monitors my heart rate recovery between them. The detailed body composition analysis has been crucial for tracking my progress and making sure I'm hitting my goals. It provides the kind of data that helps you move from just working out to training intelligently.

Glorified clock
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: DisappointedAb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Notifications don't come through. Doesn't last a whole day on a single charge. Not for me at all. I won't spend my money on a galaxy watch again. AI features have been tested out but there isn't a reason I can think of as to why AI is needed on a watch???

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, October 16, 2025
Howdy DisappointedAb, thanks for reaching out to share your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 with us. We value your candor as we strive to improve the functionality and performance of our product line. Samsung offers a 12-month warranty on your device for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also offer Samsung Care+ which can be added to eligible devices. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It could cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. You can easily choose which apps send notifications to your watch and how much information is displayed on your screen. Once you customize your preferences, you’ll only see the reminders and messages that you want to. Take a look at, "Manage notifications on your Samsung smart watch" to help resolve what you may be experiencing with your notifications. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Please take a moment to also review, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors may be impacting your device. The Galaxy Watch8 features Google Gemini AI, a powerful assistant for voice commands, and enhanced health-focused AI for coaching, sleep tracking, and new health metrics like vascular load and antioxidant measurement. It also includes AI-powered features for a personalized Energy Score and Wellness Tips, alongside an intuitive new One UI 8 interface with an AI-driven Now Bar. These features aim to provide more personalized, proactive, and insightful health and fitness tracking by using AI to analyze data and offer actionable advice directly from the wrist. The watch also integrates Google Gemini for on-wrist assistance with tasks and questions. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like further assistance after reviewing the resources shared, please do not hesitate to reach out to Samsung Support. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra

watch8 is part of my body
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: Nitroka
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this watch so much that whenever I remove to charge for 30 or so minutes, I start to feel something is missing from my body.
I love the sleep tracking and energy score feature. The sleep guidance has helped me to get into good sleep habits which has overall impact to my health. Whenever I wake up refreshed, the same score is reflected in the watch as well.
Samsung has done a fabulous job on the band attachment.

Great for helping stay on task and monitor health
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: Android4life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought these watches to help reduce the amount of times we need to pick up our phones and to monitor health. The first couple weeks of wearing them it was the opposite. After wearing them for some time now, I'll say these things:
Cons:
They need to be charged daily if you use all the health features.
Having troubles getting it set up to follow my rules at certain times of the day.
Pros:
They do help with staying on task. Awesome!
The health monitors are so helpful. Thanks!
Very customizable.
Fits great on the wrist.
Galaxy AI is helpful. Still trying to figure out which AI assistant is best for my lifestyle.
