[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was hesitant to purchase a watch. I had owned other brands before and was very happy so I thought the splurge would not be worth it. Was I wrong !! This watched has helped me organize and keep productive. At first I was not a fan of having to charge often but now I've simply made it a routine to put it to charge as soon as I get home and before I know it is ready to keep using. All features work as advertised. I am a super satisfied customer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is amazing on this watch. I love it so much. Would definitely recommend this watch to anyone with a samsung.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far the functions are great and able to use watch as intended. I have to have two phones, one personal and one for work. Got the watch to pair with ear bud to not have to carry two physical phones. I upgraded from watch 4, which had an aftermarket band I loved, but couldn't use on the 8.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to get a samsung watch to track my habits. To get better insight on my steps/sleep patterns. Being more aware of what my habits and patterns are help me to improve in my well being. Loving that aspect of things! The band i picked with my watch is cute! I picked a mint green band and love it. The galaxy AI in the watch is helpful too i need timers while working so using that helps me be on point with my timing without having to pull out my phone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new watch is better in every way over the other watches. The design is very controversial but I really like the uniqueness of the design. The watches UI and environment is great with now having Galaxy AI built in with the watch, able to do very fast and direct answers to your questions. The battery is a bit better than my older watch, but not expecting much more since I got the smaller size. Overall I have no setbacks and no regrets upgrading to this watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that it is easy to use and can run several things at once: work email, vídeo and games! Also, does not ever overheat! Amazing all around!
The watch soes exactly as however the problem comes in with the battery life. The battery does not last a whole day even with power saving turned on. I find myself having to charge my watch several times a day depending on what I am using it for. That is very inconvenient and a waste of time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
