I purchased the Galaxy Watch 8 and I'm very happy with it. The design is sleek, lightweight, and comfortable to wear all day. Health and fitness features work well, and the battery lasts about a full day with regular use. Overall, it's great smartwatch for everybody use, and I would definitely recommend it to Android users.
I love how thin and unobtrusive this series of watches are compared to previous models. I prefer recharging my watch everyday than having a multi day battery life at the cost of twice the thickness.
It's an awesome watch, but won't stop trying to sync Samsung wallet all day everyday. I don't even have Samsung wallet set up and I deleted the app and yet an unclearable Samsung wallet syncing notification pops up many times a day. It's driving me crazy.
battery life sucks not even kast 6 hours with all settings off, bought 3 times had to return for the terrific battery life.

Watch wouldn't hold a charge for longer than 2 hours. Says it holds a charge for days but that was a lie.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
