Customer Reviews for Samsung - Refurbished Excellent - Galaxy Watch8 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT - Graphite - (2025)

This watch feels too big for my wrist - and it becomes uncomfortable to wear for long periods. I wanted it to track my sleep - and that's just not an option for me with this watch. The battery dies FAST. I have to charge it every other day.

I stay loyal to Samsung, as I love the ecosystem. This is my first LTE one though! It gives me piece of mind in case something happens to my phone. Only complaint is the short battery life, but it chatges lighting fast!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice watch. Horrible Battery Life
on February 1, 2026
Posted by: Its okay
from Summerville,SC
Expertise:Intermediate
It's an okay watch. I purchased it to stay within the Samsung ecosystem and was hoping for smooth integration with my phone. Everything works fine: nice gesture controls, good screen color and brightness, and awesome features.
However, the biggest problem is battery life. I am averaging a day and a half, and this is with some features turned off. I assumed battery life would have improved over previous generations, but it's actually worse. I have had other smartwatches with similar feature sets that could last nearly two weeks. Disappointing battery life for a modern device.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this watch - Easy band swaps + better battery
on January 31, 2026
Posted by: Kathy C

Expertise:Intermediate
Verified Purchase:Yes
I just upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 8 and I’m really happy with it. The first thing I noticed is how much easier it is to interchange the bands. It’s quick, simple, and actually makes me want to switch bands depending on what I’m doing.
The battery life is also noticeably better, which was a big reason I upgraded. I don’t feel like I’m constantly thinking about charging it.
One honest note: I have very small wrists (kid-size, basically), so the larger squared face felt a little big on my “twig” of a wrist at first. It took some getting used to. But after wearing it a bit, I adjusted—and the benefits outweigh that initial “wow, this looks huge” feeling.
Overall, solid upgrade and I’d absolutely recommend it—especially if you want better battery and easier band changes.
I would recommend this to a friend!
